1. Solutions for when the car key is locked inside the car: 1. Look for a spare key. 2. Use the remote control to unlock. 3. Contact a locksmith to unlock. 2. Additional information: 1. Types of car keys: mechanical key; remote key; touchscreen LCD key; smart wristband key. 2. How car keys work: The key emits a radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna.

Functions of car keys: Use the remote alarm to quickly locate the vehicle; close windows after turning off the engine; automatically open the trunk; selectively open the driver's door.
Oh, I've encountered this situation before, don't worry too much. The first step is to stay calm and check all the doors and trunk—sometimes one door might not be completely locked. Then, look around for a spare key nearby, like hidden at your doorstep, with a colleague, or in your bag. If that doesn’t work, quickly contact family or friends to help bring a spare key. If none are available, call a professional locksmith service or the roadside assistance number provided by your insurance company; they can safely unlock the door. Remember, never try to pry the door open yourself or use brute force, as it could damage the vehicle or injure you. Later, I recommend developing a habit of keeping your spare key in a safe place or using a car key app on your smartphone to avoid similar awkward situations in the future.
