🔍 Tip 1: The “Pocket Check” Before Locking
Always double-check that your keys are with you before locking the car.
✅ Make it a habit: hold your keys before pressing the lock button.
✅ Key in hand? You’re good to go!
🔋 Tip 2: Monthly Fob Battery Reminder
Dead batteries don’t give warning—they just stop!
✅ Once a month, test fob functionality at home.
✅ Flip the door lock; pop the trunk. If it’s sluggish, swap the battery.
🔑 Tip 3: Never Hide a Spare Inside the Car
Hiding a key inside the vehicle is risky—thieves know where to look.
✅ Keep a spare with someone you trust.
✅ Ask us to cut and programme a secure backup key.
🧼 Tip 4: Keep Locks Clean and Lubricated
Grimy, rusty locks are more likely to fail when you need them.
✅ Use powdered graphite for lubrication—no oils.
