Pressing the keys on the main key consumes energy to transmit the code to the vehicle's receiver. The more often the driver uses the key, the faster the batteries run out.
The first sign that the battery is low is signal transmission with a slight delay. The car enthusiast should replace the element as soon as possible, otherwise there will be difficulties in unlocking the door.
Key to Lada Vesta
The Lada Vesta car comes with two ignition control panels: one is the main one, the other is a spare one. The basic (flip) remote control has three buttons on its body. The first two are responsible for the locking and unlocking options, and the third button is responsible for the functionality of the trunk. Spare ignition keys for Lada Vesta have a disadvantage: there is a delay in the door signal when pressed. The buyer will use the second remote control in case of loss of the main one. The spare ignition key for Lada Vesta does not have the option of opening and closing the car and is intended for use in a critical situation.

Cases
The plastic body of the control panel is fragile, like other switchblade bollards. If dropped from human height, the ignition control panel may break. A special case for the Lada Vesta key can save the remote control from scratches and damage.
The case for the remote control is a silicone shell of different colors (green, red, orange, yellow, blue, transparent, black). The rubber of the cover is soft; upon impact, it absorbs the kinetic energy of contact. At the same time, the presence of the shell does not affect keypresses in any way.
There are many manufacturers and stores where you can buy such a case. You need to look for a department with car accessories or place an online order. The price is small - from 100 to 300 rubles.
How to disassemble a Lada key
For Lada Vesta/XRAY: open the key body by unsnapping the latches around the perimeter using a thin slotted screwdriver.
For Lada Largus: unscrew the fastening screw (Phillips screwdriver), and then open the key body, unclicking the latches around the perimeter using a thin slotted screwdriver.
For Lada Priora/Kalina/Granta: unscrew the fastening screw (Phillips screwdriver), and then open the key body, unclicking the latches around the perimeter using a thin slotted screwdriver.
The process is also shown in the video:
Let us remind you that if after replacing the battery the standard alarm still does not work, read these instructions. By the way, do you know how to make a flip key for a Lada yourself?
LADA VESTA. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OF THE LADA VEST A - REMOVAL / INSTALLATION OF MAIN UNITS AND PARTS
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM, DEVICE AND OPERATION FEATURES
The electrical equipment is made according to a single-wire circuit - the negative terminals of sources and consumers of electricity are connected to the car body, which acts as a second wire. Rated voltage 12 V.
The vehicle's main power circuits are protected by fuses. Before replacing a blown fuse, it is necessary to find out the cause of its blown and eliminate it.
Attention! When repairing a vehicle or electrical system, it is necessary to disconnect the earth wire terminal from the battery.
When operating a vehicle and when checking the electrical circuit of the vehicle, it is not allowed to use fuses that are not provided for by the design of the vehicle.
LADA VESTA.
BATTERY – REMOVAL / INSTALLATION Removal
Place the car in a working place, apply the parking brake, turn off the ignition, raise the hood.
Before disconnecting the terminals from the battery terminals, you must:
– wait until the electric fan of the engine cooling system stops;
– wait until the end of the data saving procedure in the ECU (1 min).
Do not remove the terminals from the battery terminals while the ignition is on, as this may cause errors in the ECM or lead to failure of electrical components.
The reliability of the visual battery status indicator is not guaranteed by after-sales service, so the visual indicator should not be used as a means of monitoring battery status.
Loosen the tightening of nut 7, Figure 2-1, of the bolt securing the battery ground wire terminal (wrench 10).
Car keys, immobilizer and remote control system for power accessories Lada Priora
Keys for the ignition switch: 1 - a key with a red insert on the end of the head (training key); 2 - a key with a remote control (working key); 3 - a tag. The car comes with a set of keys - two keys for the ignition switch and two keys for opening ( closing) locks of the front doors and trunk lid. The key with remote control combines the functions of the ignition key, the remote control system for the electrical accessories, the working immobilizer key and is intended for everyday use. To unlock the engine start and remote control operation, the key must be activated (trained) using a code key with a red insert at the end of the head. The key with a red insert is a training key and at the same time a spare one. It is designed to start the engine, as well as to activate (learn and relearn) the immobilizer and the remote control system for the electrical accessories. A transponder (electronic key) is built into the head of the key, the code of which is stored in the memory of the immobilizer control unit. The procedures for activating the immobilizer and training the remote control must be performed at car pre-sale preparation points or at certified services in the presence of the car owner. Training key (with red insert) must be stored separately and not kept on the same ring as the working key. It is recommended to use the training key as the ignition key only if the working key is lost. The code number for making a new key to replace the lost one is printed on a metal tag. To open (close) the locks of the front doors and the trunk lid of the car in the absence of a working key (with the remote control system for the electrical accessories), you can use…
one of two identical keys (the code number for restoring a lost key is printed on the tag). The car is equipped with an anti-theft system - an immobilizer and a remote control system for electrical accessories. The immobilizer blocks the engine from unauthorized starting (if the key code has not been read).
The immobilizer includes: – a control unit combined with the remote control system controller, located under the instrument panel; – an immobilizer status indicator in the instrument cluster; – a buzzer in the remote control system controller; – a communication coil built into the ignition switch; – a working key , which is also a remote control system for the electrical accessories; – a training key; – the corresponding part of the engine control system controller software.
The remote control system for electrical accessories is used for: – remote (from the key remote control) locking (unlocking) the locks of all doors with simultaneous arming (disarming) of the vehicle's security mode; – remote unlocking of the trunk lid lock; – locking the locks of all doors by turning the key in the driver's door lock; – locking (unlocking) the locks of all doors using a button from inside the car; – turning on the alarm mode in case of violations of vehicle security zones; – turning off the alarm mode remotely or when turning on the ignition with a working or training key; – raising (lowering) the front windows and, in a variant, rear doors.
When replacing a faulty remote control system controller or engine management system controller, using a learning key, you can restore the functionality of the systems.
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.
Alternative methods of unlocking locks
Modern car models are opened using a central lock and a button on the key fob, if the battery is in good mechanical order and has not frozen. If the battery is dead, you can solve the problem: look for an additional battery, a pair of power cables from 2 cm in diameter and about a meter in length. Alligator clips are required. Find the plus of the dead battery, using a wire, connect it to the plus of the charged battery. Fasten the wiring coming from the negative terminal to unpainted parts of the car. You can open the doors using the key fob since the battery is working.
In those cars where the lock button is not on the side of the door, a plastic strip is used for emergency opening. It is easier to open doors with it than with a shoe lace. To do this, take a piece of soft plastic and move aside part of the door, pushing the tape inside the car. You need to try to hook the locking button and lift it up.
In older cars, you can use an antenna
It is unscrewed, carefully passed along the inside of the door handle, and moved until the lock begins to gently sway. When you see the lock button move, gently lift it up
The procedure for converting the ignition key into a switch
The keys on various configurations and models of Lada differ in shape, however, the process of independently converting them into switchgear ones is quite simple. You will need to purchase a blank switch key, after which a copy of the key tip is made. The key chip is then trained to work with the alarm system installed on your car.
When choosing a flip key without a chip, you should take into account the dimensions of the workpiece, since its board should easily fit inside the case. If the standard key board breaks or wears out, it is better to buy a flip key with a chip.
Sometimes, to make a key groove, you have to remove the tip, for which the pin at the base of the key is squeezed out. But there are cases when such a procedure may require disassembling its body. The key learning process has already been described above.
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.

Topic: Can't lock car without power
I know, everyone immediately thought that I was a teapot and didn’t find the lock cylinder on the driver’s door under the lid. That's not the point. The other day my battery was completely drained. If anyone is interested in the details, you can read here https://ladavesta.su/viewtopic.php?id=1241 I came to the parking lot, and the car was silent - the battery was completely dead. I opened the driver's door with the key and opened the passenger door from the inside for my wife. And only then did I realize that I would no longer be able to close the car. Where are the usual buttons on the doors? Why aren't there any? They always were, but not on Vesta. So it goes. If the battery is dead, think first and then open the doors.

Re: Can't lock car without power
In short, if Akum sat down, do not open the doors. Or did I understand something wrong?

So there is a central lock in Vesta. It can be used to close the front passenger door. And the driver's can be locked with the key.

Re: Can't lock car without power
He opened the doors with the key and opened the door for his wife. We got into the car and slammed the doors. What did you do next? We sat, chatted and came back out? If you opened the door with the key because the battery was dead, then why open the passenger door - you wouldn’t be able to drive anyway?
