2 Answers
The solution for a locked steering wheel in the Wuling Hongguang is: 1. Insert the key into the keyhole and turn the steering wheel to unlock it; 2. For vehicles with a one-button start, press the brake, turn the steering wheel left and right, then press the start button to start the car and unlock it. The models under the Wuling Hongguang series include: Wuling Hongguang S, Wuling Hongguang V, Wuling Hongguang Plus, Wuling Hongguang S3, Wuling Hongguang Mini, etc. Taking the 2020 Wuling Hongguang S as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, wheelbase 2720mm, and body weight 1185kg.
As a veteran driver who has been driving a Wuling Hongguang for many years, I often encounter the troublesome issue of a locked steering wheel. This usually happens when the steering wheel accidentally turns to the lock position after the engine is turned off. The solution is actually quite simple: first, make sure the key is fully inserted into the ignition switch; then gently wiggle the steering wheel left and right without using excessive force, as this could damage the lock cylinder or wheel components; simultaneously turn the key to the unlock position to release the anti-theft lock. If that doesn't work, try pressing the brake pedal to assist the operation. Remember, this design is for theft prevention and is a safety feature. When driving, developing the habit of straightening the steering wheel before turning off the engine can significantly reduce the occurrence of this issue. If it gets stuck for too long or if debris blocks the lock cylinder, it's best to have it checked at a professional repair shop rather than forcing it yourself. In short, operate with patience and prioritize safety.
