Working methods on how to open a Lada Vesta without a key

As standard, the Lada Vesta is equipped with:

• main key: key fob with three mechanical buttons;
• additional: key without key fob and mechanical buttons.

If a key fob is lost, many car enthusiasts wonder how they can open the car with a Lada Vesta key, having a spare one included. In practice, everything is very simple, the main thing is not to panic. You should also not run to the nearest store and buy a new keychain for 4,000 rubles.

Types of ignition keys

To figure out how to open Vesta with a key, it’s worth clarifying what types are used in cars:

• Standard made of metal. Today, these are becoming less and less common, but are still in use by owners of cars from the last century. The car engine is started by turning the key in the ignition.
• With a chip. A more advanced version of metal, but with an additional level of protection. A microcircuit inside its handle sends a signal to the car’s electronic system when inserted into the ignition.
• With remote control (RC). Allows you to start the engine from a distance, lock and unlock car doors.
• Card. Rare new generation keys that can be found in modern business and premium class cars. They look like a thickened analogue of a bank card, which is inserted into the corresponding hole in the driver's panel of the car.

For those who have lost or damaged the key to their car, the cost of making a duplicate will depend on its type and make of car.

Spare keys for Lada Vesta

Based on how many keys go to Vesta, you can temporarily use a spare one. When purchasing a Lada Vesta you receive two flip keys, one of which includes a remote control. The remote control is used to control the operation of the engine, the locks of all doors and the trunk from a distance. The signal transmission radius from the remote control to the machine depends on the environment and the presence of sources of interference for electronic devices.

If it is impossible to use the remote control to access the car, you can use the flip key when opening the doors and turning on the engine.

When it may be necessary to open a Lada Vesta

To minimize the car owner's risks from possible loss of a key, the manufacturer includes a spare copy in the car package. Most Lada Vesta owners are inclined to use a remote control system and take with them only one with a remote control. However, being an electronic device, the remote control is not immune to damage due to careless handling.

If you discover a device failure at home, a backup copy with a chip will provide you with access to the car. Those who have lost or damaged their only key, without having a spare one on hand, will have to perform an emergency opening of the car.

Using a spare

When faced with a breakdown or loss of the main remote control for the first time, the car owner will not immediately understand how to open the Lada Vesta with a spare key and without a key fob.

To do this, you need to pry up and remove the plug on the driver's door handle that hides the lock hole. Through it you can mechanically open the car.

Independent actions

Of course, the ability to repair a fault under warranty is good. However, not everyone lives near a dealership, and the warranty isn't that simple. Therefore, the question of what to do if the Lada Vesta battery is discharged is very relevant.

If you decide to do everything yourself, instructions compiled by one of the sedan owners, Vladislav Mustafin, will help you.

Removing the glove box

To gain access to the necessary elements, you must first disassemble the glove box. This is not difficult to do. It is necessary to open the glove compartment lid, and then press the latches located at the top.

It's better to start from the glove compartment area

When this is done, you need to pull the cover towards you, and you will feel the resistance of the 3 latches below. Next, you need to unscrew the 5 screws that secure the box body to the dashboard.

Then you should unsnap the side panel plug from the right end, grab the drawer handle, which is located at the top center, and pull it towards you. It is also necessary to disconnect the limit switch from the terminal and disconnect the lamp plug.

By the way, not everyone removes the glove compartment cover first during the dismantling process. This is done for greater convenience, but you can do without this step.

The whole process is clearly demonstrated in the video.

Next, we begin to directly eliminate the problem due to which the battery on the Lada Vesta is discharged.

How to open a Lada Vesta if the key is left inside

It will be useful for the car owner to learn how to open the door of a Lada Vesta without a key if its only copy remains inside a locked car. The main difficulty here is to unlock the doors without damaging the locking mechanism and the upholstery of the car. Today, several methods are known for accurately opening locks with improvised objects.

Using a tennis ball

In discussions, you can come across a description of a technique for breaking into a car with a tennis ball with a hole. The trick is to use it as a pump to create a powerful air draft that will lift the door flag and open the car. In fact, the described method is nothing more than a myth that came from cinema.

Use a rope or cable

A front- or rear-wheel drive car with a manual transmission can be started in another exotic way, relying on the strength of one person. To do this you will need a long flat cable and a jack.

1. It is necessary to secure the car with the parking brake, jack it up from one of the two drive wheels and turn the wheels to the side.
2. You need to wind the cable around the wheel so that, by pulling the cable towards you, you make the wheel rotate counterclockwise.
3. Put the car in third gear, turn on the ignition and with a sharp movement try to spin the wheel using a cable.
4. If the engine can be started, the wheel will begin to rotate on its own, and you will need to immediately engage neutral gear. The center differential will transfer all the torque to the wheel hanging in the air, which will prevent the car from spontaneously moving.

How to lock the car

You can close the doors of your Lada Vesta using the remote control by pressing one button. However, it will not work if the car’s battery is dead and the electronic systems are de-energized.

Then, to lock the car, you will need to manually lower the flag under the locking mechanism and slam the door.

What is “lighting up”

We put mechanical means aside; let's talk in detail about supplying current from the outside. When lighting a cigarette, everyone heard it. Here is the equipment needed for the main steps of the process:

• special pillow. It is cheap, up to 500 rubles. It’s better to buy it and always have it in your car;
• two wires 2 m long. Longer will make the process easier. The thickness of the section is important - from 4 square millimeters;
• special clips - “crocodiles”;
• A battery with a capacity level that allows it to serve as a “donor” of power. Many drivers have a portable one. The classic option is to ask a sympathetic motorist for help.

One of the wires is fixed, connecting the “pluses” of the “donor” and “recipient” batteries. An important nuance: the “minus” of an independent power source must be connected not to the battery terminal (it’s difficult to get there), but to the ground of the vehicle. This means fixing it on any part without varnish or paint. The surface of the wheel under the nut is often used. The contact must be reliable. Alligator clips will help.

The food is on. How to close the doors? It's easy to use the key fob. It is better to immediately remove the battery and take it for charging, and purchase a new one. Such experience teaches you to always closely monitor the serviceability and charge of the battery.

How to replace the battery in the remote control

If your Lada Vesta does not respond to commands from the remote control, its battery may need to be replaced. It takes place in several stages:

1. Using a screwdriver with a flat bat, pry out the hole on the handle body. By smoothly lifting the housing cover, you will gain access to the insides of the remote control.
2. The battery looks like a small silver coin. It also needs to be pryed off with a screwdriver and removed.
3. Install a new battery in its place and close the case.

You can buy a battery for Lada Vesta keys at any electronics or auto parts store.

Problems closing doors

There may be several reasons why it becomes impossible to lock a Lada Vesta car. The most common are lost keys by the driver or dead batteries in the alarm remote control. Sometimes malfunctions may occur in the system itself, for example, the central locking does not work, or there is a software failure.

But most often the problem with closing occurs due to a non-functioning or missing battery. Such a nuisance as a dead battery often occurs during severe frost or when additional equipment is turned on for a long time. If the driver does not have the opportunity to urgently recharge or replace the battery, he needs to know

Kazan

A museum whose history goes back two centuries, and whose 1,400 exhibits are considered especially valuable by experts. For example, the flying dragon from the island of Java or the South African quagga zebra, exterminated by humans in the 19th century. Prince Potemkin began to form the basis of the former “Natural Cabinet”, intending to open a university in Yekaterinoslavl, and the collection was transferred by decree of Paul I to Kazan University. The collection was replenished by Professor Karl Fuchs, purchasing unique shells, and the St. Petersburg scientist Eichwald donated to the museum his own collected paleontological and zoological samples from the Aral and Caspian regions.

Museum tours

You can also see the museum on your own, spending hours looking at little-known animals and intricately colored butterflies. But after hearing the guide’s story, you learn so many new things that you don’t want to leave the museum. A big plus for the administration was permission to take photographs, although there is not enough lighting for amateur photography of many exhibits. By the way, if you have not yet been to the Darwin Museum, then be sure to go there - you will find not just mummies of amazing animals, but also an interesting excursion in an interactive form. More details about it in this article.

Most of the themed excursions are designed for children, who really enjoy the museum. Some of them are aimed at mastering educational material (such as “The Fauna of Australia”, “Animals of the Moscow Region”, “Birds of the Forest and Taiga”), others are of an entertaining and educational nature. Younger schoolchildren are extremely interested in the fairy-tale excursion “Animals in Kipling’s Fairy Tales”, the characters of which are familiar to them from cartoons and books.

Schoolchildren who are seriously interested in biology can regularly visit the “Biolectorium”, where scientific and educational lectures are held and all zoological questions can be answered.

Exploring the world through museums is a truly interesting pastime. For comparison, a person is interested in stones and minerals. It’s very interesting to look at them on the Internet, look for information in books, BUT! It is enough to go to the Mineralogical Museum named after. Fersman, how immediately information is absorbed not only quickly, but also for a long time.
