If you see a small key icon on the ground then it is your lucky day! This key belongs to one of the cars close by. In Project Zomboid car keys are color-coded to the car that they are from. For example in the image above you can see a black car key on the ground and this is the only black car around so I can pretty safely assume it is the key for this car.
If the car was red, the key would be red. Driving a vehicle is pretty easy in Project Zomboid. To turn the car on, if you have the key already, you should see the key visible in the ignition in the UI at the bottom of the screen. If you attempt to move forward using the W key your character will attempt to start the car automatically. Otherwise you can use the N key to turn the can on and off, and click on the ignition in the UI at the bottom of the screen to take the key in and out.
The controls of operation are very similar to movement on foot. Turning left and right is the same as the movement keys and going forward and back is done with W and S respectively. There are some other useful hotkeys to learn which I will list below.
To see all available hotkeys for driving, consult the in-game controls menu in the options. Using the mouse you can click the door lock to lock or unlock the car doors and turn on the various instruments in the car. Be aware that leaving a heater, lights or radio on while the car is switched off can run the battery flat. To fill a car up with gas from a pump, park the car next to the gas pump. Make sure you have the car parked on the correct side that the fuel insert is on.
Your character will walk around the car and start filling fuel from the gas pump. Gas can also be stored in gas containers as well. When you see a container they may or not have fuel already inside of them.
You can refill the gas on a car directly from a gas container by equipping the container containing gas and right-clicking on the vehicle. Another way to fill up your empty gas cans is by siphoning the gas from other cars. Even if the other car does not switch on due to damage, you may be able to take that gasoline from it. Once you select this option you character will move over to the gas tank on the chosen vehicle and begin transferring the gas from the car into the container.
This gas can then be used to fill up other cars. There is only one type of gas in the game. All cars run on the same type of gas.
One of the many different skills that can be leveled and used in Project Zomboid is the Mechanics skill. This skill makes it possible to perform different mechanical operations on your vehicle. In this screen, you can check which parts are installed and in what condition they are. You can also interact with most of these parts.
If you have the right tools and mechanical expertise you can swap and change parts from other cars into your own car. You can even remove parts and leave them off if you wish. For some of the operations you will need to have read the auto manual which gives your character information on how to work on the car. Standard, commercial and performance manual. To work on a car and exchange parts you will have to read the manual for that type of car.
As this character was a mechanic by trade before the apocalypse began, they already start with the knowledge on how to fix and work on cars. You can find them where most books are, in bookcases of residential and commercial buildings.
The back room of this store has boxes and shelves absolutely brimming with books. This one is not really going to be a shock to anyone. The way that you upgrade and gain experience in the mechanics skill is by performing mechanical task.
Be it changing a tire or exchanging a light bulb, every car related action you take will give your character experience in the mechanics skill level. Depending on your current skill level you will need a different type of book to gain the experience boost. By holding the V key down on your keyboard whilst in a vehicle you will open up the vehicle radial menu. This wheel menu will make it easier to do things whilst in a vehicle. For example, you will have to open up this menu in order to attempt to sleep in your vehicle.
You can press up on the D-PAD whilst using a controller to access this menu. Some vehicles will have more options as well, such as the police and emergency vehicles having a siren which can be turned on and off.
As seen in the above section on using the vehicle radial menu in Project Zomboid you can change seats in a car by holding the V key down whilst inside a vehicle.
