About car sharing and turning off the car in the forest

Therefore, no one can guarantee that the car will not turn into a piece of metal at any point in our vast…

So what should you do if your car is locked with you inside?

  1. How to get outside. In the vast majority of cars, you can always open the doors from the inside, even if there is no connection with the satellite, or even a battery in the car as such. To do this, you need to pull the door handle as usual, but with a little more force than usual. This will open any door, even on a completely closed and discharged car. The system works mechanically.

  2. How to lock a car without communication. This point is the reason for my urgent registration, because, judging by the comments under the posts about “dead cars”, such a feature is not known to even all +‑ active car sharing users. And it appeared before 2021 for sure.

    The methods of closing depend on the service and the car model. I will describe what I know myself, and if anyone knows more, please add in the comments.

    Delimobil. If there is no network either in the car or on the phone, but you still need to lock the car (it's winter, the car is locked automatically, and you can't leave it open) – you can turn an unpleasant situation into a slightly entertaining quest from the genre of “clap five times and look under the pillow.” How is this related to locking? Here's how – https://delimobil.ru/faq/276. There is a similar instruction in the appendix in the section “frequently asked questions”.
    Personally, I have locked the car twice (Polo and Chertigo4) when my phone died and I still had to get to the charger. I used the passenger's phone to find “how to lock Delimobil” and, after doing the manipulations (+ a photo of the car from the passenger's phone for my peace of mind), calmly went to get the charger.

    BelkaCar. Similar to Delimobil, instructions for “manual” locking of the car are in the application in “Questions and Answers” – “If Something Is Wrong”and on the website: HERE.
    I haven't done such tricks with Belka, but the algorithms look even simpler than Delimobilnye.

    Yandex.Drive. Everything is much easier if you have your phone at hand – in the application during rental there is a button in the car card “Open/Close via Bluetooth”. If the phone is dead – now you have to think. I think one of the methods of Belka or Delimobil will work.

    U CityDrive Some cars are equipped with Bluetooth for opening, some are not. Therefore, if the network is lost and the application does not offer to close the car via Bluetooth, the only way is to contact technical support in the chat or on the hotline:(

P.S. This is my first experience writing a text in this format, so I would appreciate comments on the quality and potential revision of the theses.

Thanks for reading 🙂 Have a great ride and good luck on the roads!
