I once had the embarrassing experience of locking my keys in the trunk with my Volkswagen Passat. Never try to pry it open yourself, as it can easily scratch the paint or damage the lock mechanism. The first choice is to find a spare key—I usually keep a spare key in a magnetic key box hidden in the car or at home, which you can buy online. If you don’t have one, immediately contact a local automotive locksmith service, which typically costs around 100-200 RMB. Alternatively, call Volkswagen’s 4S store customer service hotline—they have specialized tools to open the door without damage. The Passat’s trunk is spacious, and it’s easy for keys to fall in when loading items, so make it a habit to check the key’s position before closing the trunk. Safety tip: If this happens, don’t just wait on the roadside—find a safe place to rest, as prevention is better than cure. Consider using a smart key app or backup strategy in the future.
