How to Deal with a Locked Geely Steering Wheel?
2 Answers
There are several solutions for a locked Geely steering wheel. Here are the relevant details: 1. First, insert the key, press the brake, then turn the steering wheel left and right. While turning the steering wheel, twist the key to complete the steering wheel unlocking procedure. 2. If you are not skilled, don't worry if it doesn't work the first time. Pull out the key and repeat the above steps 1-2 times, and you should be able to unlock it successfully. Reason for the steering wheel locking: The main reason the steering wheel locks is that the steering wheel was turned when the key was removed after the last engine shutdown. At this point, the car's security anti-theft system assumes there is a risk of theft, so the system locks the steering wheel to prevent the vehicle from being stolen.
I encountered a steering wheel lock issue while driving my Geely car, which is usually triggered by the anti-theft system. The solution is to insert the key or prepare the start button after getting in the car, then gently turn the steering wheel left and right while turning the key or pressing the start button to synchronize and unlock both. If the key won't turn, try replacing the battery, as low power can weaken the signal. If that doesn't work, apply slight pressure but avoid forcing it to prevent damage to the steering column. This is common in Geely cars due to the anti-theft mechanism design. To prevent lock-ups, always straighten the steering wheel before turning off the engine. If the issue persists, don't panic—contact a Geely 4S shop or professional towing service for inspection of the lock mechanism or steering system. Safety first: avoid driving when the wheel is locked to prevent accidents.
