To unlock the steering wheel on a Honda CRV, you can follow these steps:
1. Turn the wheel as far as it will go in the same direction it locked in.
2. While holding the wheel in the turning position, start your car.
3. The steering wheel should unlock after starting the car. If it is still stuck, try starting the car while holding the steering wheel as far as it will turn in the opposite direction.
Remember, the locking steering wheel is a safety feature designed to protect your vehicle when parked on an incline. Avoid yanking down on the wheel while getting in or out of your car to prevent the steering lock from engaging.
If the above steps do not unlock the steering wheel, there may be a malfunction, and it is recommended to schedule a service appointment with a Honda dealership or authorized service center.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
