What are the reasons for the Mercedes-Benz 205 failing to start?

[AveryRose]

Mercedes-Benz 205 failing to start may be due to the following reasons: Steering wheel lock: If the steering wheel cannot be turned and the key cannot be twisted, it is the vehicle's simple anti-theft function that happens to be at the intersection of key unlocking and lock cylinder torque. Just gently turn the steering wheel clockwise (or counterclockwise) and then lightly twist the key to successfully unlock and start the engine. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear must be placed in "P" to start. Some cars cannot even remove the key if the gear is not in the "P" position. Vehicle malfunction: If the car still cannot start in the P position, or the dashboard shows an abnormal gear position, it is recommended to seek timely repair. It could be due to a faulty electronic gear sensor or electro-pneumatic valve.
