Cool New to the group...

Hey everybody, Ken here with a 2010 Max SV Premium pkg. You guys and girls have some nice rides! Picked up Maxine back in January with 36K and she's been nothing but great to me. Its Crimson Black with tan/pecan interior. Stock wheels and I haven't even tinted it yet. Anything special I need to know?

Make sure the steering lock has been disabled.

Have fun! Congratulations and welcome!

Some us have had issues where the steering wheel lock failed, got jammed, etc etc, thus not allowing the car to be started and leaving you stranded somewhere.

To remedy this, do the following:
Locate the fuse for the steering wheel lock fuse (I have no idea where it is, and I should also do this workaround soon lol...)
Remember where fuse is located
Start your car, or at least turn the car to ON. The engine does not have to be running.
Jiggle the wheel to make sure it is free
Pull the fuse.
Turn off car.

I say locate the fuse first so you are not wasting gas letting the car idle while you hunt for the fuse, nor are you slowly draining the battery.
Also, helps minimize the chance that you forget your car is on, engine not running.
