What to Do When the Car Steering Wheel Locks Up?
1 Answers
Solutions for a locked car steering wheel: Turn the steering wheel left and right while turning the car key. Most modern vehicles come with anti-theft features. If the steering wheel is turned while the car is parked and the engine is off, the steering lock pin inside the wheel will engage with the steering column, causing the wheel to lock. For vehicles with a push-button start, turning the steering wheel while the engine is off will also lock the wheel. The solution is to slightly turn the steering wheel to release the lock, allowing normal use of the start function. Car parking precautions: 1. Always straighten the steering wheel when parking and turning off the engine to avoid damage to the steering gear. 2. Try to park on level ground whenever possible.
