Repeat three times to power on the vehicle and then turn it off. Disconnect the vehicle's battery for 15 seconds. Wait until the engine warning light appears on the dashboard, do nothing, and then start the engine after a while.

I've helped quite a few people with this issue. The car's anti-theft lock being activated is usually due to sensor errors or key problems. First, try using the original key to press the unlock button gently without applying too much force. If that doesn't work, check if the car key battery is dead and replace it with a new one before trying again. I've seen many cases where the remote control fails, in which case you can use the spare key directly inserted into the lock cylinder. Never attempt to pry or force it open with tools, as this can easily damage the electronic system or trigger the alarm. If you really can't resolve it, contact professional rescue services or the dealership—they can handle it safely. Regular key maintenance is important; avoid leaving it in damp places for too long. The anti-theft feature protects your assets, so respecting the design is crucial.
