What to Do When the Car Key is Locked in the Trunk of a Lavida?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida comes with two keys, one for daily use and the other as a spare. If the car key is locked in the trunk, you can go home or ask someone to bring the spare key. Here are some important considerations regarding unlocking a Volkswagen Lavida: 1. Always remember that the spare key should not be kept inside the car but stored in a safe place at home. 2. If you need to call a locksmith, make sure to choose a qualified and reputable company. Before unlocking, they will present relevant documents, such as the vehicle registration and ID card, for verification. The cost of unlocking varies depending on the difficulty and the vehicle's class. 3. Additionally, most 4S shops now offer after-sales rescue services. Simply call them and wait for the rescue team to arrive.
I've been driving my Lavida for many years, and that time I accidentally locked the keys in the trunk was really nerve-wracking. I remember that afternoon I went shopping, threw the stuff into the trunk, and only realized after closing it that I hadn't taken out the keys. My first reaction was to take a deep breath and not panic, then quickly searched for nearby 4S store numbers on my phone and called them. The customer service said they had rescue services and sent a technician over with professional tools to open it. The whole process took 20 minutes and was free because they were partners with my insurance company. Since then, I've developed a habit of hiding a spare key in my wallet or saving Volkswagen's rescue number in my phone, so I won't be caught off guard. Driving friends all know that the trunk of a Lavida sometimes locks automatically, so you have to be careful and regularly check the key battery to avoid failure. In short, if you encounter this situation, don't try to pry it open yourself to avoid damaging the door seals or something. Calling professionals for help is the safest option.
