What to Do When the Changan Car Key is Locked in the Car?
2 Answers
When the main key is accidentally locked in the car, retrieving the spare key is the simplest solution. If it's not possible to get the spare key in time for various reasons, calling the 4S store for assistance is also a good option.
I've been driving a Changan CS75 for several years, and once accidentally locked my keys inside the car—it was so frustrating. First, don’t panic, take a deep breath. The first step is to recall if you have a spare key, perhaps with a family member or hidden in a magnetic box under the car. If not, immediately contact roadside assistance services—many insurance companies or car warranties include free unlocking services, or call Changan’s 4S store emergency hotline, as they can assist remotely or send a technician. Never try to pry the door open or break the glass yourself, as it can easily damage the body and cost you more money. Safety first—find a secure parking spot and ensure no one is watching. After that incident, I got smarter: I now keep a spare key in my wallet whenever I go out and have set up the emergency unlock feature on the Changan car app—super convenient. Remember, in such situations, don’t worry about embarrassment; proactively seeking help is the right way. Prevention is better than cure.
