What to Do When the Steering Wheel of Wuling Hongguang Is Locked?
2 Answers
The solution to the locked steering wheel of Wuling Hongguang is: insert the key into the keyhole and turn the steering wheel to unlock it. Taking the 2020 Wuling Hongguang as an example, it belongs to the microvan category, with body dimensions of: length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, wheelbase 2720mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, and curb weight 1185kg. The 2020 Wuling Hongguang features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a leaf spring non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 76ps, maximum power of 56kw, and maximum torque of 110nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I was driving my Wuling Hongguang, and the steering wheel often locks after parking. This usually isn't because it's broken, but because the steering wheel anti-theft lock is activated. Turning off the key and slightly turning the tires can trigger it. The solution is simple: gently shake the steering wheel while turning the key to start the engine. Don't force it, or it will get stuck tighter. Once, I tried it on the roadside, and when it locked, it wouldn't open. After shaking the steering wheel a couple of times, it loosened. Usually, remember to straighten the wheels when parking, and don't move them after turning off the engine. Make it a habit. If it happens repeatedly, check the steering column or anti-theft system. It's best to go to a repair shop and not force it yourself to avoid damaging the parts. During regular maintenance, have the technician check the steering lock module to avoid trouble.
