What are the reasons why the Baojun 510 key cannot be turned?

Reasons why the Baojun 510 key cannot be turned: It may be due to the steering wheel being locked. Simply insert the key, rotate it while gently shaking the steering wheel to unlock it. When parking, always observe whether the vehicle is properly parked and whether the steering wheel is straightened. Consciously straighten the steering wheel before getting out of the car. If the steering wheel is not straightened, adjust it in time to avoid damaging the car. The Baojun 510 is positioned as a compact SUV, featuring a new family-style design with split-type headlights. The upper slender and sharp ones are LED daytime running lights, while the lower hexagonal headlights serve as the main high and low beam lights. The chrome trim around the front grille extends to the daytime running lights above, giving the front face a stretched and elegant look. The dimensions of this car are 4220 mm in length, 1740 mm in width, 1615 mm and 1625 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550 mm.
I've dealt with this issue quite a few times before. The most common reason a key won't turn is that the steering wheel is locked, especially when it's accidentally turned after parking. Don't force it—just gently wiggle the steering wheel left and right while trying to turn the key, and it usually unlocks. If the key itself is worn or doesn't match, over time the key teeth can flatten, and you'll need to get a genuine replacement key. Another common cause is dust or rust jamming the lock cylinder—a quick spray of WD-40 or a dedicated rust remover and lubricant should do the trick. Prevention is simple: always straighten the steering wheel when parking and avoid small objects falling into the keyhole. If these methods don't work, it might be an internal mechanical issue, and I recommend visiting a repair shop as soon as possible to prevent minor problems from turning into major headaches.
