What causes the ignition key of Honda CRV to be unable to turn?

[Alexander]

Here are the specific reasons why the ignition key of Honda CRV cannot be turned: 1. Improper steering wheel angle: When parking, if the steering wheel is positioned at a certain angle that only allows the key to turn for ignition but not unlock, it may result in the key being unable to turn. You can gently turn the key with your right hand while lightly rotating the steering wheel with your left hand to naturally unlock it. 2. Steering wheel lock: After the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is turned left or right or the wheels are not aligned when parking, force applied can cause the steering wheel to rotate, triggering the auto-lock function. This causes the steering lock pin and steering column to engage, making the steering wheel immovable. Even inserting the key and applying force won't turn it. This is the vehicle's anti-theft system activating, locking the steering wheel to prevent theft.
