What does maintaining the steering wheel lock mean?

[Keith]

Maintaining the steering wheel lock means: it could be due to the installation of an automatic window-closing feature when locking the car, which triggers this prompt. It might also indicate that the steering wheel is locked or there is an abnormality in the steering system. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Principle: The principle of the car steering wheel automatic locking is that after the car is parked and the key is removed, when the steering wheel is no longer under any control, a slight movement will cause the lock inside the steering wheel to pop out, blocking or jamming the central rotating shaft of the steering wheel, rendering it immovable. Unlocking is required to use it again. 2. Key-ignition vehicles: For vehicles that use a key to start, if the key position is below the steering wheel, the key controls the steering wheel lock. Insert the key, gently wiggle the steering wheel, and then turn the key to unlock it. 3. Auto start-stop vehicles: For vehicles with auto start-stop, gently wiggle the steering wheel after starting the engine to unlock it. Alternatively, when the key enters the cabin, gently wiggle the steering wheel until the lock loosens to unlock it.
