Your car's ignition has a LOCK position that locks the steering wheel. When is it safe to turn the ignition to LOCK?
Correct answer: Only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and is parked.
Why
Most vehicles have a spring-loaded device that locks the steering wheel when the ignition is turned to LOCK. If it engages while the car is moving, you lose the ability to steer, even at low speed. The manual recommends that you have the steering lock checked as part of routine maintenance.
