What is the reason for the failure of the Emgrand steering wheel lock system to unlock?
2 Answers
Gelly Emgrand's steering wheel lock system may fail to unlock due to a malfunction in the car's steering wheel lock system. Here is additional information: Re-matching the lock system: If the steering wheel lock system of the Gelly Emgrand car malfunctions, it may cause the car's steering wheel lock system to fail to unlock. In this case, the car's steering wheel lock system needs to be re-matched to resolve the unlocking failure issue. Model: Gelly Emgrand is one of the three sub-brands launched by Gelly Auto from 2009 to 2014, with various models such as gl, gs, and the new Emgrand. Among them, the ec718 and ec718-rv are the sedan and hatchback versions of Gelly's B-class cars.
I've personally encountered the Geely Emgrand steering wheel lock failure several times. Usually the causes are simple - like when the key battery is nearly dead or the remote signal reception is insensitive, I'd try manually unlocking with the spare key. Another common issue is the lock cylinder jamming because the steering wheel wasn't straightened after parking; gently wiggling the wheel while inserting the key can reduce resistance. This happens more often in winter due to metal contraction from low temperatures. Electronic module failures like anti-theft system sensors can also cause malfunctions - I'd check if other in-car electronics are interfering with signals. Safety first - forcing the lock can damage the steering column, so it's best to visit a 4S shop for diagnostic scanning. Replacement components aren't expensive anyway. My daily habit: always park with wheels straight to reduce lock pressure, and replace key batteries every six months as prevention. While Emgrand systems are reliable, neglecting maintenance leads to failures - timely fixes prevent bigger troubles.
