Does the steering wheel lock?

[sheselectric]

Maybe this is a mechanical question rather than technical, but having just taken delivery, and so far so good ... But I haven't been able to get the steering wheel to lock on turning off., like I am used to on petrol having taken the keys out. I realise this is keyless, so is that why? I am new to ev ... Am I assuming something I needn't?

No, the steering wheel doesn't lock. It's the same for the Prius HSD and so on ...

Should you miss it, BearLock (known for gearbox locks in e.g. RVs) sells an after market steering lock for the PHEV. Obviously, this needs a separate key.

Ok thanks, so no need to worry. I half mentioned this to the salesman as I got out of the car on pick up and he half said something about needing to turn the wheel more ... I'll let him know.
