Question: 1 / 180

What initial step should be taken if the key won't turn in the console?

Turn the key multiple times

Tap the side of the console

If the key won't turn in the console, tapping the side of the console can help resolve the issue. This action is based on the idea that mechanical components may be experiencing a misalignment or a blockage that can be temporarily alleviated by gentle impact. Tapping might dislodge any debris or minor obstructions that are preventing the key from turning, allowing it to function properly without causing damage to the locking mechanism.

The other options suggest methods that could be ineffective or harmful. Simply turning the key multiple times may increase wear or create more tension if the key is stuck, while forcing the key to turn could break the key or damage the ignition system altogether. Checking the power supply, while relevant in scenarios where the system is unresponsive, does not directly address the immediate issue of a stuck key and is more appropriate once mechanical factors have been ruled out.
