What to Do When the Car Key Is Inserted but the Engine Won't Start?

[StEliana]

This situation usually occurs when the steering wheel lock is not reset. At this point, try turning the steering wheel to see if it is locked. If the steering wheel does not lock, it may be damaged and require replacement of the steering wheel lock. Additionally, there are several other reasons why a car may not start with the key: 1. The car was not parked in the P gear; 2. Check if the battery life has expired or if the battery is dead due to leaving lights on for an extended period; 3. Inspect whether there is fuel or if there are impurities in the fuel; 4. No antifreeze was added during cold weather. 5. For cars with a one-button start, the smart key may sometimes be low on battery.
