Variant: Petrol
Model Year: 2020
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
On pressing start dashboard and lights come on but no indication of engine starting. Warning note advises unlock steering but doing so has no effect. Cannot switch off the ignition do risks a flat battery if this persists. This has happened several times with straight or angled wheels. Switching lock has no effect then suddenly after 10-15 minutes the engine will start.

Your car not still under warranty ? Sounds like a low battery . Either check battery voltage , charge or try a jump start .
