What to Do When Wuling Car Keys Are Locked Inside the Car?
3 Answers
If the Wuling Hongguang keys are locked inside the car, you can try the following methods: 1. Use the spare key to unlock the car. New cars usually come with two keys, and the spare key can be useful when the primary key is locked inside. 2. Call the 4S store's after-sales service for assistance. Besides using the spare key, the most reliable method is to contact the 4S store's after-sales team and wait for their rescue team to arrive. 3. Contact a reputable locksmith company to unlock the car. Make sure to choose a licensed and professional locksmith company. 4. Break the car window glass. There are techniques to breaking the glass—avoid the windshield, especially the triangular window, as matching and repairing these can be costly. Instead, choose the front or rear door glass. When breaking the glass, be quick, precise, and forceful to avoid injury from glass shards.
I remember last year when I drove my Wuling Hongguang to buy groceries, I just got out of the car and left the keys on the seat, and the door slammed shut and locked. I was so anxious I was running around in circles. At the time, I didn’t have my phone with me, so I had to borrow a passerby’s phone to call a friend to bring a spare key—it took over an hour to sort it out. Later, I learned a trick: using a thin plastic sheet to slide through the window gap and slowly push the door lock latch—this works on older Wuling models, but you need patience and avoid using wire to avoid scratching the paint. I recommend everyone develop the habit of putting car keys in their pockets instead of tossing them casually. Now I’ve also added a key box hidden under the wheel—just in case it happens again, it’s an easy fix. In short, don’t panic; the first thing to do is contact family or friends or call a locksmith for faster help.
Oh, I've experienced locking the car key inside a Wuling several times, always due to haste. Here's the direct solution: First, try pulling the door handle - sometimes it's not fully locked. If that doesn't work, check where you've hidden the spare key. Without a spare, carefully use an old credit card or stiff plastic strip to pry the door latch along the window edge, being gentle to avoid scratching the paint. If still stuck, call your insurance to check for free lockout service, or find a nearby repair shop to call a locksmith (costs around 50-100 yuan). Key point: Never break the glass - window repair costs hundreds. Always keep keys on your person after entering the car - developing this small habit prevents big troubles.
