What to Do If the Audi A3 Car Key Is Locked in the Trunk?
2 Answers
If the car is an electric vehicle or the conditions are right, as long as the car key is still on you, even if it's inside the car, you can directly open the trunk. Using a spare key can open the trunk to retrieve the key. You can choose a taillight that is relatively close to the key, break it open, and then retrieve the key.
Oh, I've driven quite a few cars in my life and encountered situations like locking keys in the trunk several times. For the Audi A3, don't panic, first try the spare key—it's usually kept with the other key or at home. If you don't have it, quickly contact Audi's roadside assistance service. They have a 24-hour hotline on their official website, and you can provide your license plate number for remote unlocking. Never try to pry open the trunk with a stick—Audi's seals are very precise, and damaging them can be expensive to repair. As a precaution, you can hang a cloth strap by the trunk door; if you accidentally leave the keys inside before closing it, you can pull them out to prevent mishaps. Remember to develop a habit of checking the key's position regularly when placing it—simple habits can save a lot of trouble.
