What to Do When Volkswagen Steering Wheel Locks Up?

[DelSilas]

When the Volkswagen steering wheel is locked, step on the brake, hold the steering wheel with your left hand and gently shake it, while simultaneously turning the key with your right hand to unlock it. Below is an introduction to the Volkswagen steering wheel: 1. The steering wheel lock on a Volkswagen is the most basic anti-theft feature of the car. The principle involves using the rotation of the key to control a steel pin via a spring. When the key is removed, any movement of the steering wheel causes the steel pin to spring into a pre-drilled hole, thereby locking the steering wheel to prevent rotation. 2. When the steering wheel is locked, it cannot be turned, the key cannot be rotated, and the car cannot be started, thus achieving anti-theft. 3. After parking and turning off the engine, if you notice the steering wheel is not straightened, avoid the habit of manually turning it back. Doing so will immediately activate the anti-theft function. After turning off the engine, try not to touch the steering wheel. If you need to straighten the steering wheel, start the engine first before making adjustments.
