Steering wheel lock on Prius Gen 2

[eruul]

Hello,

 

I recently acquired a Prius Gen 2 year 2007. And I noticed that the steering wheel does not lock when put in Park, the car is turned off, etc.

I have looked over the owner's manual, the service manuals, looked over a few sites, youtube and I couldn't locate any information whether the car does have a steering wheel lock.

I would like to ask if Prius Gen 2 doesn't have a steering wheel lock or is it only mine and I should get it fixed?

 

Thank you in advance.

Yes it does have a steering wheel lock.

Just turn it slightly either way and it will engage.

It will lock when you lock the car from outside. It’s an electronic steering wheel lock. 👍

That's news to me.  I would have said that the Gen 2 (2007) does not have a steering wheel lock as it has the immobiliser.
