Isn't the steering wheel very heavy with the engine off, and hence the power steering off? newbie here so not very sure, but the chance is higher that something goes wrong and spoils with repeated turning with the power steering off, right?
I haven't tried the steering lock for my new car, but I always engage the steering lock on my old Nissan Micra ( when I was in UK), and it was a simple jiggle of the steering wheel when the wheels are straightened and the ignition key out of the socket.

Hi jaster/all,
It's perfectly ok (at least for me) to lock the steering (even purposely turn another 360 deg before turning to 2 clock direction, this is more effective way as mentioned by lyh1280) but do all of these before u turn off the engine lah... :smile:

Did something silly yesterday. Tried locking it but fail to read the second part about this threat on UNlocking it ;)
Ok, so must "shake" it before turning the ignition. Will take this additional precaution in my Northern travel this weekend!

You don't really have to shake. Just turn the wheel right a little bit and hold it to release the ignition knob.

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.

Hi Ender
I see, this sound similar to my 1st Wira car in Msia. I will try that ... thanks for info.
