Why Can't the Key Turn When the Steering Wheel is Locked?
1 Answers
Steering wheel lock and key unable to turn occur because the steering wheel was rotated when the car was turned off, causing the steering wheel to automatically lock. This is a normal phenomenon, and the solution is very simple: just turn the steering wheel while simultaneously turning the key to start the ignition. Here are some details about steering wheel lock: 1. Cause: When the car is turned off, the vehicle has a certain self-protection function. If the steering wheel is rotated at this time, the gear latch inside the steering mechanism will be locked, making the steering wheel immovable. Additionally, the key will also be unable to turn, which is designed to prevent car theft. 2. Precautions: When parking the vehicle, always ensure it is parked on a flat surface and the handbrake is properly engaged. Avoid randomly stepping on the brake or turning the steering wheel to prevent it from being locked.
