Where is the spare key for a general car?
2 Answers
The spare key for a car is located inside a small shelf on the top of the vehicle. You need to find a rectangular small hole at the end of the car handle, pull the handle outward, insert the spare key into the rectangular hole, and remove the plug cover. Below is an introduction about car keys: 1. Basic principle: A weak radio wave is emitted from the owner, received by the car antenna, the signal code is identified by the electronic controller ECU, and then the actuator (motor or electromagnetic manager coil) of the system performs the action of opening/closing the lock. 2. Composition: This system mainly consists of two parts: the transmitter and the receiver.
As an ordinary car owner with years of driving experience, I often keep the spare key in a fixed and secure place at home, such as a desk drawer or a key hook in the entryway, so that family members can easily access it. I remember one rainy day when I locked myself out of my car—fortunately, the key was hidden under a flowerpot by the door! Avoid placing it under the car seat or in the glove compartment, as it can easily be exposed to thieves or damaged by high temperatures. I recommend finding a spot that's easy to remember but inconspicuous, or even consider buying a magnetic key box to attach to the car's undercarriage for added security. Additionally, some older cars lack smart features, making spare keys more frequently used, so it's important to regularly check the key's condition to avoid jamming.
