A low battery in your key fob, or an issue with the keyless entry antenna or wiring can cause your key to occasionally fail to unlock your car door.
But there is a solution to solve this problem.
He explained: “When the door won’t open, click here, and the hidden mechanical key can be removed.
“Insert it into this little hole under the doorknob, pry lightly, and the lock cylinder inside leaked out. This operation will open the door.”
Most drivers think that if their car key doesn’t have enough battery, they will not be able to start their car.
However, the car expert recommends: “Stick your car key to the induction area under the square plate and paste it on the brakes to start.
“Second, if the car can’t be put into gear, don’t rush to call a tow truck. Let’s peel off this dust jacket.
“You can see that there is a yellow button inside. Push it down.”
“This way, you can shift gears in an emergency…”
He continued: “We’re stuck in the car and can’t get out. The rear seats can be folded down to access the boot.
“Find this small cover on the door panel of the boot and snap it open.”
“There is a white knob inside that will open the boot for an emergency escape with a single flick.”
The video has had more than 795,100 views on TikTok – and most were blown away after discovering these little-known car features.
One said: “That’s what I was looking for, bro.”
Another said: “Thanks, that helped.”
A third pointed out: “That’s so cool.”
