What to Do When the Steering Wheel of a Jetta Car Locks?
1 Answers
Gently shake the steering wheel with your left hand while simultaneously turning and wiggling the key with your right hand to unlock it. More information about the steering wheel is as follows: 1. All cars, whether joint venture, domestic, or imported, are equipped with a locking mechanism. This means that as long as you turn off the engine, remove the key, and slightly turn the steering wheel, the steering wheel will be locked by the mechanism. When restarting, you must first insert the key before you can turn the steering wheel back and forth to unlock it. 2. The principle of the steering wheel locking mechanism is similar to that of a door latch, but it is not recommended to use it frequently in this manner. Repeatedly turning the steering wheel to unlock it can easily cause the locking mechanism to malfunction or wear excessively, ultimately compromising driving safety. This is especially true for vehicles with anti-theft engines. 3. The electronic control lock is the steering wheel locking mechanism. The electronic control lock tongue is more prone to damage if forcefully moved back and forth. When the battery power is insufficient, inserting a key with a chip will not activate the electronic control lock. In such cases, the only way to unlock it is by using a jumper battery to supply power. However, there is actually no need to actively set the steering wheel to lock, because as soon as you turn off the engine and remove the key, the steering wheel immediately enters a pre-lock state. Turning it half a circle will lock it, making it impossible for a thief to drive the car away even if they gain access.
