The Ford service available here at Griffin Ford Fort Atkinson goes beyond routine oil changes and tire rotations. We also want to share the essential information drivers need to care for their vehicle on the road, in the event of damage or an emergency.
Here’s a look at a common roadside problem, getting locked out, and what to do about it.
What Should I Do If I’m Locked Out of My Car?
Lockouts happen. The more prepared you are, the easier it will be to get your vehicle unlocked and back out on the open road. Here are some steps you’ll want to take if you get locked out of your car.
- Get to Safety: The number one thing you’ll want to do if you’re locked out is getting to safety. Step away from traffic or call for assistance from a nearby shop or busy location.
- Call the Police: If your lockout is considered an emergency, the police can help. If there is a child or animal locked in the vehicle, call emergency services right away.
- Use the FordPass™ App: The FordPass App allows you to lock and unlock your Ford vehicle remotely, so you can get inside even if you don’t have the keys. You’ll want to download and set up the app in advance, so it’s available if you ever need it.
- Call Your Roadside Assistance Team: If your lockout isn’t an emergency, you’ll want to call your vehicle or insurance roadside assistance team. They have the tools to get you back into your car without damage.
