What to Do When the Car Steering Wheel Locks and the Engine Won't Start?

[StAbigail]

When the vehicle's steering wheel is locked and the engine won't start, you can insert the key, press the brake pedal, then turn the steering wheel left and right while simultaneously turning the car key to complete the steering wheel unlocking procedure. Note that the key won't turn if you don't rotate the steering wheel during this process. The steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature. Parking precautions: 1. Actively check if the vehicle is properly parked: After parking, you should actively observe whether the vehicle is properly positioned. If you forget the number of steering wheel turns, you can check the wheel rotation by looking outside; 2. Do not forcibly straighten the steering wheel: If you notice the tires aren't straight after turning off the engine, remember not to force the steering wheel back to center. You must restart the vehicle before straightening the steering wheel to avoid direct damage to the steering mechanism.
