Latio in built Steering lock
lyh1280:
Hi All,
Normally steering lock is more "effective" if u park head-in esp in Malaysia. This is to prevent "tow-truck" theft where they just lift ur car fr the front and tow away. If u park head in first with the steering turned/locked, the car cannot be tow away easily in straight line, probably will bang the side wall/beam/other car park at the side when they tow away from the rear/back of the car. Hope u all get wat i describe here. This is wat i practive always when parking in M'sia.
Cheers !

Agree, sometimes i do that, but only in open air carpark in malaysia where it's accessible to tow truck. But narrow carpark where tow truck has difficulty to meanuvre, I don't do that, but opt for deterent measures. but you have described is not steering lock, but just the wheel is turned max. This method does not pose any deterrent to the break-in type of thief.

Hv been recommended in JB to install special steering lock (which is permanent installed below the steering to somewhere
beside the brake pedal) and with switch to on the car (~must unlock before u actually can start the car), can't really remember the price but sb > RM$500. Not sure anyone there can recommend good lock suitable for latio, "Cheap and Good one ah :yehyeh: :yehyeh: :yehyeh:" (my previous steering lock not able to fit in latio car due to dashboard to high up liao...)

Actually the in-built Latio steering lock works rather similar. It has to be unlock, before the engine can start. And it can only be unlock if you have the i-key to turn the ignition knob.

The knob you turn to start engine..
My 1st post briefly describe how to activate it. Basically once you off engine, turn the steering about 2 o'clock till your hear a click sound.
