Unlocking a 2013 Chevy Cruze with Keys Locked Inside
If you’ve accidentally locked your keys inside your 2013 Chevy Cruze, there are a few methods you can try to regain access to your vehicle.
1. Use the Keyhole:
– Some Chevy Cruze models have a keyhole on the driver’s side door that can be used to manually unlock the door. You can use a small flat head screwdriver to pry the tab open and gain access to your vehicle.
2. OnStar Remote Link App:
– If your vehicle is equipped with OnStar, you may be able to use the OnStar Remote Link app to unlock your car, even after your OnStar trial/subscription has expired. This feature may be available for 2013 or 2014 Chevy Cruze models.
3. Contact a Locksmith:
– If the above methods are not feasible, you can consider contacting a locksmith. They can assist in unlocking your vehicle, but it’s important to consider the associated costs before making a decision.
4. Keyless Access System:
– If your Chevy Cruze is equipped with a keyless access system, there may be a button on the outside door handles that allows for unlocking the doors without using the RKE transmitter button. This system can be programmed to unlock all doors on the first lock/unlock press from the driver door.
It’s important to consider the specific features and options available for your 2013 Chevy Cruze when attempting to unlock the vehicle. If you’re unable to unlock the car on your own, it may be best to seek professional assistance from a locksmith or contact the manufacturer for further guidance.
