locked using the sensor in the door handle or the vehicle key.

Mechanical steering column lock

Vehicles without Keyless Access : the steering column is locked if the vehicle key is removed from the ignition lock when the vehicle is stationary.

feel.
WARNING
In conjunction with the Electronic Stability Control, counter steering assistance provides the driver with assistance when steering in critical
driving situations. The driver must steer the vehicle at all times. Counter steering assistance does not steer the vehicle.
