What is the reason for the Magotan's safety lock preventing startup?

The method to deactivate the Magotan's safety lock is as follows: When the screen displays the message "Please note the safety lock function, refer to the user manual," here are the relevant instructions: Precautions: After parking the car as instructed in the manual, do not turn off the engine. Instead, open the driver's door, meaning the driver should unlock all doors. Then, turn off the engine (i.e., press the key), and this prompt message will no longer appear. The top-tier model of the new Magotan: It is equipped with the DCC chassis control system, allowing the owner to choose among five modes: personalized, sport, standard, comfort, and economy. When switching between the economy, standard, and comfort modes, the changes in the chassis are not very noticeable. However, in sport mode, the steering wheel resistance becomes significantly heavier, and the suspension correspondingly stiffens to provide better support performance.
When encountering similar issues, I usually check the key and anti-theft system first. The most common reason for the safety lock failure to start in the Magotan is either a dead key battery or signal pairing issues, causing the car to mistakenly interpret it as a thief's operation. Another possible cause is the steering wheel not being unlocked - sometimes after parking, the steering wheel gets stuck and locks the engine upon startup, requiring a slight turn of the steering wheel before turning the key. If that doesn't work, it might be due to a faulty anti-theft system module or a short circuit in the wiring, as dust or water ingress can interfere with it. I recommend first trying to replace the key battery. If that doesn't help, try inserting it into another keyhole or call a tow truck to a professional shop to check the fuses and relays. Safety lock issues shouldn't be delayed; once they occur, park the car roadside for inspection to avoid startup failures leading to accidents. Regular maintenance checks by a technician on the anti-theft system settings can prevent most troubles.
