How to Replace a Lost Spare Car Key?
1 Answers
If you lose your spare car key, you can directly visit a car 4S store to get a replacement. Every vehicle comes with an anti-theft code configured with the car. The owner only needs to provide the vehicle license and identity information to the 4S store, which can then retrieve the anti-theft code based on the provided details to configure a new key. Below are some precautions for using car keys: 1. Avoid contact with metal objects: Many car owners like to attach heavy ornaments to their car keys, and some male owners even string a bunch of other keys together. During the bumps and jolts of driving, excessive weight on the key can wear down the limit components and contact points of the ignition switch through the lock cylinder, leading to looseness and premature damage. Over time, this can cause the engine to start poorly or stall due to power loss while driving. 2. Do not store it with other keys: Keys are metal objects, and smart keys may malfunction if they come into contact with or are covered by metal items. 3. Keep the spare key separate from the main key: Do not lock the spare key inside the car, especially for keys with one-touch start or engine immobilizers, as the spare key can fully start the engine.
