6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Tevlaphee Steering Wheel Brake Lock, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the lock periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the locking mechanism or telescopic rod becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the moving parts. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Adhesive Tapes: Regularly check the adhesive tapes on the hooks. If they show signs of wear or detachment, replace them with new ones to continue protecting your steering wheel.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Tevlaphee Steering Wheel Brake Lock, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lock appears too short or won't extend fully. | The blue hook end may not be fully pulled out before extending the main rod. | Ensure the blue hook part is fully extended from its housing before attempting to stretch the main telescopic rod. |
| Key is difficult to insert or turn. | New lock mechanism may be stiff, or dust/debris in the keyhole. | For new locks, continued use will typically loosen the mechanism. For older locks, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant into the keyhole. Ensure the key is inserted correctly. |
| Lock feels loose after installation. | Not fully tightened or incorrect positioning. | Ensure the lock is fully extended and the hooks are firmly gripping the steering wheel and pedal. Remove the key to allow the internal mechanism to fully engage and tighten. |
