Where to Place the Spare Car Key?
2 Answers
Spare car keys are placed in a small shelf on top of the car. This location is very safe and prevents the keys from falling out, making it a good practice for those who prefer to keep spare keys inside the car. This method avoids potential troubles when the keys are forgotten at home or in the car, offering both convenience and safety. Steps to use the spare key: 1. Locate a small rectangular hole at the end of the car handle, pull the handle outward with your left hand, and insert the spare key into the rectangular hole to remove the lock cover; 2. After removing the lock cover, you will see the keyhole—use the spare key to unlock the car door; 3. Pull the door handle outward and align it with the lock cover interface to insert the lock cover.
I always take extra care with the storage of spare keys, never leaving them in the car to avoid theft or accidental lockouts, as the risks are too high. Typically, I keep them in a secure spot at home, like a small box hidden deep in a bedroom drawer or a magnetic key box fixed under a flowerpot in the backyard—both discreet and hard to find. When traveling, I entrust them to a reliable neighbor, ensuring they know the exact location but don’t use them casually. It’s also advisable not to store them with the main keys; losing both in a wallet would be disastrous. Regularly check if the anti-theft locks are reliable, and make it a habit to inspect the storage spot annually for exposure. Safety first—avoiding trouble is key.
