Answer:

1. Stay calm
When left in the car, children are prone to panic, screaming, crying, which quickly makes the body tired and exhausted, thereby missing out on opportunities to increase the ability to escape. Therefore, the first thing to do in this situation is to stay calm, find a way to escape or signal to people around about your situation.

2. Open the car door from the driver's seat
When the car is not in the key and the car is locked, the door can still be opened from the inside at the driver's seat. Instruct your child to open the door from this position. When opening the door without the key, the car alarm (anti-theft) will sound. In addition, teach your child to try opening other doors, because if lucky, a car door may not be closed properly. From there, the child can also escape.

3. Continuously honk the steering wheel horn

Even if the car is locked or completely turned off, the horn still works normally because it uses direct power from the battery. This is the simplest and most effective way to attract the attention of others. Therefore, parents should teach their children to get on the steering wheel and honk the horn, the continuous honking will attract the attention of others.

4. Press the Hazard lights

Emergency lightsIn addition to the car horn, the Hazard lights are devices designed with their own power source that can operate at any time. Parents should show their children the Hazard light button, which is triangular and very easy to see in the cockpit. Turn on the Hazard lights and honk the horn to attract everyone's attention.

5. Break the car window
In case of force majeure, when unable to open the car door or call for help from outside, children can find tools to break the car window in the car. A common tool to break the car window is a hammer. Hammers usually have a small head, when hitting the glass with force, the large stress is concentrated to break the bond, causing the glass to shatter. If there is no glass breaking tool in the car, teach children to find other tools and objects in the car to find a way to break the glass and escape.

In addition, car glass is always designed as safety glass, so when broken, the glass will shatter into corn-like pieces, without sharp pieces, so it will not affect children much.

6. Stand at the glass in front of the steering wheel to wave to people outside

The car's windows may be dark (brown or black) to limit sunlight, but the glass in front of the steering wheel is always clear glass for the driver to observe the road. Therefore, children can go to that glass, find a way to let people outside know they are in the car by waving their hands, or holding objects and waving to attract people outside.

7. Contact people outside
For children of school age (about 6 years old and up), equip them with a GPS watch or, for older children, a phone to contact in case of emergency. Parents should guide children to remember phone numbers and how to call their parents, teachers or the police (113), ambulance (114) in case of an accident when they are locked in a car alone.
