The solution to steering wheel lock and push-button start failure to ignite is: 1. First, press the vehicle's brake pedal and gently press the push-button start once; 2. Wiggle the steering wheel left and right, then start the vehicle. When the car is turned off, rotating the steering wheel from the centered position to one direction (usually to the left) by a certain angle will lock the steering wheel. In the locked state, the steering wheel cannot be turned, the key cannot be twisted, and the car cannot be started, thereby achieving anti-theft functionality. Methods to avoid steering wheel lock include: 1. Straighten the steering wheel before turning off the engine; 2. Do not turn the steering wheel after turning off the engine.
