What to Do When the Key Can Turn but Cannot Be Pulled Out?
1 Answers
You can try rotating the vehicle key to the left to determine if it's caused by the key not being fully turned off. If after attempting this the key still cannot be pulled out, it indicates that the ignition switch of the motor vehicle is damaged and requires disassembly for repair or direct replacement. Below are precautions for storing car keys: 1. Remove the key promptly: If you need to leave the car, even for just a few minutes, do not leave the key in the ignition. Always turn off the engine, lock the car, take the key with you, and close all windows and sunroofs tightly to prevent giving thieves an opportunity. 2. Do not keep spare keys in the car: Do not store the car's spare key inside the vehicle. Modern car anti-theft systems are generally designed to protect the engine. Even if a thief manages to duplicate a key to open the door, they cannot start the engine and drive the car away. However, a spare key can start the engine, so it must never be left in the car, nor should it be used as a regular key for long-term use. 3. Understand insurance coverage: When purchasing car insurance, be aware of the specific terms related to vehicle theft to ensure you have the necessary evidence for claims in case the key is lost and the vehicle is stolen.
