The reasons for the car key not being able to be pulled out are: 1. The P gear is not properly reset, causing the electronic sensor not to be triggered; 2. The steering wheel is locked. The solutions for the car key not being able to be pulled out are: 1. While gently twisting the key with your right hand, shake the steering wheel left and right with your left hand, then twist the key; 2. Check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot and remove them, then start the car and shift the gear again to ensure it is fully reset. The functions of a car key are: 1. Automatically closing the windows after turning off the engine; 2. Conveniently locating the car in a parking lot; 3. Automatically opening the trunk; 4. Remote-controlled window opening.
A few days ago, I also encountered the trouble of not being able to pull out the car key. The most common reason is the incorrect gear position. Especially for automatic transmission models, the key can only be smoothly removed when the gear is in P. If you forget to shift back to P but leave it in D or R when parking, the safety mechanism will prevent the key from being removed. Don't panic in this situation. First, check if the gear is in P. If not, step on the brake and shift it to the correct position. Sometimes the steering wheel may lock; gently turning it left and right can unlock it, avoiding forceful pulling. Safety first—developing the habit of pulling the handbrake and shifting to P when parking can prevent most issues. If it happens frequently, it might be due to wear in the ignition switch or foreign objects stuck inside, and it's time for a check-up.
