Locked Out of Your Car

Locked out of your car? Don't worry, it's a more common situation than you think, and there's a straightforward way to resolve it without causing damage to your vehicle.

In the first 60 seconds of realizing you're locked out, take a deep breath, assess your surroundings for safety, and avoid any actions that could worsen the situation or damage your car.

Immediate actions to take (and avoid) within the first minute:

• Do: Check all doors and the trunk to confirm all are locked.
• Avoid: Trying to force a door or window open, as this can cause significant damage.
