steering column lock. The lock is
activated when the ignition is turned
off and driver door is opened.
A sound may be heard as the lock
actuates or releases. The steering
column lock may not release with

Move the steering wheel from left to
right while attempting to start the
vehicle. If this does not work, the

brakes and steer the vehicle to
a safe location.
4. Come to a complete stop, shift to P (Park), and make sure
