What does PS mean in a car?

[LaLyla]

In a car, PS stands for the steering wheel lock indicator. After starting the car, the steering wheel lock light disappears. If the PS light is on, generally the key cannot be turned when inserted. By gently moving the steering wheel left and right, the light will go off, allowing the key to turn and the car to start normally. The steering wheel lock is a very basic anti-theft feature in cars. Its principle involves a spring-controlled steel pin that, when the key is removed, pops into a pre-drilled hole if the steering wheel is turned, locking it in place and preventing rotation. When the steering wheel is locked, it cannot be turned, the key cannot be turned either, and the car cannot be started, thereby achieving anti-theft.
