Why can't the Volkswagen Lavida key be turned?
1 Answers
Lavida key can't be turned because: the steering wheel is in a locked state. Here are the specific reasons and solutions: 1. After pulling out the car key, if you turn the steering wheel left or right, the steering wheel self-locking function will be activated. The steering lock pin and steering column are engaged together, and the steering wheel cannot be moved. Even if you insert the key and try hard to turn it, it won't budge. 2. Gently turn the steering wheel left and right with your left hand while turning the key with your right hand. Note that these actions should be performed simultaneously to unlock it. Here is additional information about the steering wheel locking principle: 1. Through the rotation of the key, a steel pin is controlled by a spring. After the key is pulled out, as long as the steering wheel is turned, the pin will pop into a pre-drilled hole, locking the steering wheel to ensure it cannot be turned. 2. Every time the engine is turned off and the key is pulled out, the steering wheel is in a ready-to-lock state. As long as the steering wheel is turned, it will be locked immediately, preventing thieves from driving the car away. This means that once a thief enters the car and turns the steering wheel, the steering wheel will be locked. Even if the car is started, it can only turn in place, possibly discouraging the thief from stealing the car. 3. In the steering wheel locked state, the steering wheel cannot be turned, the key cannot be turned, and the car cannot be started, thereby achieving anti-theft functionality.
