The solution to not being able to find your car key is to contact the 4S store for deactivation. Deactivation: Notify the 4S store immediately to deactivate the original car key. Most modern vehicles are equipped with an engine immobilizer system, and the key contains a chip paired with the engine. Once deactivated, the original key can no longer start the engine. However, it's important to note that even after deactivation, the key can still unlock the car doors, so there remains a risk of theft of items inside the vehicle. Unlocking: If only the key is lost and the vehicle's registration certificate, driver's license, etc., are still with you, you can try contacting a locksmith to unlock the car door. Generally, as long as you can prove ownership of the vehicle, there should be no issue. Without a spare key, this is the fastest way to open the car door, though it may involve some unlocking fees.
