Shahid Kapoor Viral Video: What Went Wrong?
To understand what exactly went wrong and why Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor struggled with the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon, we will have to first understand how the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon door lock system works. The Mercedes-Benz comes equipped with a keyless entry feature that features a button-based latch system. When a person with the keys to the car pushes the small button on the door handle, the electronic system pulls the latch of the lock, and the doors unlock. At the beginning of the video, we can see the actor doing the same, but the doors remain locked. Then we can see the actor unlocking the car using the key fob. However, the doors of the Mercedes-Benz G Wagon remain locked. This suggests a glitch in the SUV’s central locking mechanism.
