How to Unlock a Buick Steering Wheel Lock?
1 Answers
Press the brake pedal, hold the steering wheel with your left hand and gently shake it, while simultaneously turning the key with your right hand to unlock. If you're not proficient, you might not succeed in unlocking it on the first try. Don't worry in such cases; simply remove the key and repeat the above steps a few times. Here is a detailed introduction and solutions for steering wheel lock: 1. Reasons for steering wheel lock: The principle involves a spring-controlled steel pin activated by turning the key. When the key is removed, any movement of the steering wheel causes the steel pin to snap into a pre-set hole, locking the steering wheel to prevent rotation. In this locked state, the steering wheel won't turn, the key won't rotate, and the car cannot start, thereby achieving anti-theft protection. 2. Keyless start models: The method is basically similar to that of keyed models, except for the step of inserting the key. Press the brake pedal, then turn the steering wheel left and right, and finally press the start button to start the car. 3. How to avoid locking the steering wheel: Steering wheel lock often occurs with novice car owners. After parking and turning off the engine, they might notice the steering wheel isn't straightened and habitually try to adjust it by hand, immediately triggering the anti-theft function. Therefore, after turning off the engine, try not to touch the steering wheel. If you need to straighten it, start the engine first before making adjustments.
