What is the reason why the Baojun 510 won't start and displays a lock symbol?
3 Answers
When the Baojun 510 won't start and displays a lock symbol, it indicates that the engine immobilizer is activated and the anti-theft key is not detected inside the vehicle. The solution is to check if the key chip is damaged. If it is damaged, you can use the spare key or consult a professional technician at an authorized 4S store. More details are as follows: 1. The Baojun 510 features a rhythmic red-black and modern black-brown interior color scheme, enhancing the sporty atmosphere inside the car, which complements its sharp exterior design. 2. The Baojun 510 is equipped with an 8-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen, keyless entry, one-button start, automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, and power-adjustable exterior rearview mirrors, among other convenient and practical configurations.
I've experienced a similar situation with my Baojun 510 – the lock icon showed up and the car wouldn't start, which was really frustrating. This issue usually occurs when the vehicle's anti-theft system is activated to prevent unauthorized starting. The most common causes are: low battery in the key fob preventing signal transmission, the key being too far from the start button or blocked by metal objects, or weak vehicle battery affecting the anti-theft module's operation. From my experience, first try using the spare key and hold it close to the start button. If that doesn't work, check the key fob battery model (usually CR2032) – replacing it yourself isn't difficult and batteries are readily available online. Regular maintenance of your vehicle's battery and avoiding physical damage to your keys are important preventive measures. Don't delay addressing such issues – it's safest to get professional inspection at an authorized service center to ensure driving safety and prevent potential roadside emergencies.
When the lock icon appears on the Baojun 510, it indicates that the anti-theft system has been triggered. This system is designed to protect the vehicle from theft, but it may sometimes activate mistakenly. Possible issues could be with the key: aging battery causing no signal, chip malfunction, or external interference (such as strong electromagnetic fields). Regarding the vehicle's system, insufficient battery power may affect the power supply to the anti-theft module, or a damaged sensor may fail to recognize the key. Personally, I recommend trying to place the key near the dashboard a few times before starting; if that doesn't work, find a quiet environment to eliminate interference. For prevention, keep the key clean and avoid water exposure, and regularly check the battery level for peace of mind. If there are too many common errors, the system may need a reset, which is best handled by a professional technician using diagnostic tools for the quickest resolution.
