MyVans Your Vehicle Solution
Locked out of your 2016 Kia Soul and don’t have your keys? It can be a frustrating experience, but don’t panic. There are a few methods you can try to get back into your vehicle. Here are some options to consider:
Check for Spare Keys
Before attempting any other methods, check if you have any spare keys. Maybe you gave a key to a family member or friend for safekeeping, or you have a spare hidden somewhere in your car. If you can’t find any spare keys, move on to the next step.
Use Your Smart Key
If your Kia Soul is equipped with a smart key, you may be able to unlock your car by using the key’s remote. Press the unlock button on the remote, and the doors should unlock. This method only works if your smart key is within range of the car.
Use a Coat Hanger
If you don’t have a smart key or spare keys, you can try using a coat hanger to unlock your car. Straighten the coat hanger and bend one end into a hook. Insert the hook into the space between the door frame and the car window. Carefully maneuver the hook until it catches the lock mechanism. Pull the hook up to unlock the door. This method may take several attempts and can damage your car if not done correctly.
Call for Professional Help
If all else fails, call a professional locksmith. They have the tools and expertise necessary to unlock your car without causing damage. However, this option can be expensive and time-consuming.
