Civic cars can lock with the key inside. After the vehicle is turned off, if the doors are closed without taking the key, both the doors and the rear hatch will automatically lock after a few minutes. This feature is designed to prevent the owner from forgetting to lock the car. Precautions for using car keys: Do not leave spare keys in the car: If a smart key is lost due to improper storage, it can cause many inconveniences, and the cost of re-matching is relatively high. Experts advise not to place spare keys inside the car or together with the smart key. Avoid contact with metal objects: Smart keys may malfunction if they come into contact with or are covered by metal objects. Additionally, other items in a bumpy environment could damage the smart key. For smart sensing keys, changing the key requires modifying computer parameters and re-matching a new set of keys. The owner needs to provide vehicle and identity proofs, and the manufacturer must supply the corresponding parameters or passwords for the vehicle model. After replacement, the lost key can no longer start the engine. Another solution is to replace all the car locks, which is more secure but involves higher repair costs and longer downtime.
