How many keys are included?

How quickly can I install or remove this lock?

How should I care for the steering wheel lock?

What makes the yellow finish important?

The bright yellow finish serves as a highly visible deterrent, alerting potential thieves to the presence of a security device.

Troubleshooting

Lock is difficult to fit onto the steering wheel.

Ensure the steering wheel is in a straight position. The lock is designed for wheels up to 39cm; if your wheel is significantly larger, it may not fit correctly.

Key does not turn to lock or unlock.

Ensure the lock is correctly aligned and not under pressure. Try wiggling the steering wheel slightly while turning the key. If the issue persists, check if debris is obstructing the keyhole.

The lock rattles while driving.

This indicates the lock is not fitted securely. Remove the lock and refit, ensuring a tighter grip on the steering wheel. It should not be used while the vehicle is in motion.
