📖 Overview
Vehicle keys determine who has access to a vehicle and whether that vehicle can be locked, unlocked, and started.
Owned vehicles are associated with their keys, while other vehicles may require different methods of access depending on the situation.
Keeping track of vehicle access helps protect your property and avoids confusion when sharing or using vehicles during roleplay.
🚗 Using Vehicle Keys
🔓 Unlocking Your Vehicle
Use your vehicle keys to unlock an owned or authorized vehicle before entering.
Vehicle locks are synchronized, so other players will see whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
🔒 Locking Your Vehicle
Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it unattended.
Keeping your vehicle locked helps prevent unauthorized access and reduces the risk of someone attempting to steal or enter it.
🤝 Sharing Access
Vehicle access may be shared with other players when appropriate.
Only share access with people your character trusts, and remember that shared access may allow another player to use the vehicle while that access remains active.
🔑 Lost Vehicle Access
If you lose access to an owned vehicle or your keys are no longer working as expected, use the appropriate in-game method to regain access.
If you believe your vehicle access is missing because of a bug or unexpected issue, report it through the appropriate support channels.
⚠️ Vehicle Security
Vehicle keys help protect your vehicle, but a locked vehicle is not necessarily theft-proof.
Other players may be able to gain unauthorized access through supported gameplay mechanics such as lockpicking, hotwiring, or carjacking.
Remember to:
- Lock your vehicle before leaving it unattended.
- Be mindful of where you leave or park your vehicle.
- Only share vehicle access through supported gameplay systems.
- Remember that another player having access to your vehicle does not necessarily mean they own it.
- Report bugs or exploits rather than attempting to take advantage of them.
🔐 Protect Your Vehicle
Locking your vehicle reduces the chance of unauthorized access, but it does not guarantee that your vehicle cannot be stolen.
Vehicle theft should occur through supported gameplay mechanics and follow all applicable server rules.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone steal my vehicle?
Yes.
Other players may be able to gain access to and steal vehicles through supported gameplay mechanics such as lockpicking, hotwiring, or carjacking.
Vehicle theft must follow all applicable server rules and should never involve exploiting unintended mechanics.
Can I share my vehicle keys?
Yes.
Vehicle access can be shared with other players through the vehicle key system.
Only share access when it makes sense for your character and remember that giving someone access to a vehicle allows them to use it while they have that access.
What if my vehicle keys aren't working?
Make sure you're attempting to access the correct vehicle and that your character has been given access to it.
If you believe your vehicle access is not working because of a bug or unexpected issue, report it through the appropriate support channels.
