Keys, Doors, and Windows 31

Steering Column Lock

If equipped, the steering

column lock is a

theft-deterrent device. This

feature locks the steering

column when the vehicle is

turned off and the driver door

is opened, or when the driver

door is opened and then the

vehicle is turned off. The

steering column unlocks when

the vehicle is turned on.

The Driver Information Center

(DIC) may display one of these

messages:

.

A message to service the

steering column lock

indicates that an issue has

been detected with the

column lock feature and the

vehicle should be serviced.

.

A message that the steering

column is locked indicates

that the engine is running,

but the steering column is

still locked. It is normal for

the column to be locked

during a remote start, but

the column should unlock

after the brake pedal is

pressed and the vehicle is

started. No message will

display during a remote

start.

.

A message that the steering

wheel must be turned and

the vehicle must be started

again indicates that the

column lock mechanism is

bound, the column locking

device was unable to unlock

the steering column, and the

vehicle did not start. If this

happens, immediately turn

the steering wheel from side

to side to unbind the column

lock. If this does not unlock

the steering column, turn the

vehicle off and open the

driver door to reset the

system. Then turn the

vehicle on and immediately

turn the steering wheel side

to side for about 15 seconds.

In some cases, it may take

significant force to unbind

the column.

To keep the steering column

from binding, straighten the

front wheels before turning

off the vehicle.
