Keys locked in the car

Likely causes

• Doors locked automatically with the key inside
• Keys set down while loading the trunk or the back seat
• Lock button pressed out of habit before closing the door
• Spare key at home or with someone else

Try this first

• Walk around and try every door, the trunk and the liftgate
• Use your car's app or connected service if it has one
• Ask someone to bring the spare key if it's nearby
• Skip the hangers, wedges and tools, which can damage the door, window and wiring

When to call us

• Every door is locked and the spare is far away
• The car is somewhere you can't leave it, like a gas pump or a busy curb
• The headlights are on inside, so the battery may be draining too
• A child or pet is inside: call 911 first, then call us
