All cars have a way to access with a manual key in the event of battery failure. The method varies. The most bizarre is a current model mclaren.

What has the door bit got to do with starting the car?

Is it just one of the ways to open the door or do I have to take that piece from the door in order to start the car?

I’m from uk and have the zs exclusive option in manual. Yesterday I was stranded in a petrol station for 30 mins. Tried all this and nothing. Then it started to work again, and worked fine went to the next shop and it started again.
I can get in the car fine just can’t turn on the car - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t 🤷🏻

[kevinsmith]

Very helpful, thanks. Perhaps mention which country and city(yes) you are in if you would like folks to consider buying vehicles!

[JohnCena-rngb]

You are videos are great. My question is when I try to push the key left and right but it was not turning around why?

[Orionlv]

And what about unblocking the steering if car has battery dead? Thanks!

Hi Jerry, I enjoy your videos thanks for sharing again. Just thought I’d give you some feedback regarding the MG HS ESSENCE as it’s known here in Australia.
Had the car now for 5 months & unfortunately it has so many electronic issues it’s damaging the reputation of MG.
Here are a few examples, BTW, ALL these issues were also experienced by many MG HS owners. ( MG owners Australia)
Car doesn’t pickup FOB, so car won’t open.
Car won’t start. (Yes, foot is on the break)
Tailgate opens or closes halfway.
Tailgate closes but won’t lock.
Tailgate won’t close at all. ( tried every button )
Bluetooth disconnects randomly.
Lane keeping assist disengages randomly.
I believe in the UK they have issued a software update to try & eliminate some of these issues. I have heard nothing in Australia about a software update.
Very disappointing as it’s a nice looking vehicle, but nice doesn’t mean good.

In the shopping mall parking lot, the remote control key often fails to lock the door, and the remote control's magnetic field signal is not well protected from interference.
