What to Do When the Steering Wheel is Locked?
1 Answers
When the steering wheel is locked, you can insert the key, press the brake, and gently turn the steering wheel left and right to unlock it. The steering wheel locks because the car's anti-theft system activates when the wheel is turned while removing the key after shutting off the engine, interpreting it as a potential theft attempt. The system then locks the steering wheel to prevent vehicle theft. The dangers of not returning the steering wheel to the straight position include: 1. Reduced tire lifespan, accelerating tire aging and deformation; 2. Component failure, leading to vehicle misalignment and uneven tire wear; 3. Accelerated rubber aging in the suspension system, causing play in the connections between suspension arms and links.
