What to Do When Mazda Steering Wheel Locks?
1 Answers
You should press the brake pedal, hold the steering wheel with your left hand and gently shake it, while simultaneously shaking and turning the key with your right hand to unlock it. The first attempt may not succeed, so you can pull out the key and repeat the steps above a few times. Below is more information about steering wheel lock: 1. The steering wheel locks due to the activation of an anti-theft feature in the car. The 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, thereby locking the steering wheel to prevent rotation. 2. When the steering wheel is locked, it cannot be turned, the key cannot be turned either, and the car cannot be started, thus achieving anti-theft.
