How to Unlock a Changan Car When the Key is Locked Inside?
2 Answers
When purchasing a car, it usually comes with two keys. If one gets locked inside, you can use the spare key to open the door. If the spare key is not nearby, try looking for an authorized dealership of the vehicle in the vicinity and seek their assistance. If neither of the above methods works, contact a professional locksmith. Use a pry bar to open the car door by 30-40 cm, then insert a wire to hook out the key.
Getting locked out with keys inside the car is really frustrating. I had the same mishap last time with my Changan CS75. The most reliable solution is to open the Changan Auto App and use the remote unlock feature—it takes just 30 seconds if your vehicle is bound to the system. If you don't have your phone, check your bag for the spare mechanical key; most Changan key fobs can be opened to reveal a hidden spare. If you didn't bring the mechanical key either, just call the 24/7 rescue service from the 4S店—they’ll arrive with professional tools and unlock the door damage-free in two minutes. Never trust those online hacks using wire hooks on windows—my neighbor ruined his window seal last year and paid over 800 yuan for repairs. By the way, Changan models have a hidden mechanical lock hole on the roof—insert a pointed key, twist, and the door opens. Check the manual for the exact location.
