Will the Car Key Be Damaged If Washed in the Washing Machine?

[Phyllis]

Whether a car key can still be used after being washed in the washing machine depends on the situation. Generally, it can still function. When a car key is accidentally washed in the washing machine, avoid shaking it vigorously, as this can spread the moisture inside the key and potentially increase the damage. Below are some functions of a car key: 1. Vehicle Locator: The vehicle locator function uses the remote or alarm system. Pressing the button will make the car's horn sound and the hazard lights flash, making it easier to find your car in a crowded parking lot. 2. Window Closure: After exiting the car, holding down the lock button can remotely close all four windows. This is a very convenient and frequently used feature. 3. Trunk Opening: The car remote key has a button to open the trunk. If you're coming out of a supermarket with bags in both hands, you might find it useful to know that holding down the trunk unlock button (or pressing it twice for some cars) will automatically pop open the trunk.
