Product Information

Full details

The Artago 870 Premium Anti-Theft Car Steering Wheel Lock is designed for car owners seeking a robust and reliable physical deterrent against theft. Its key benefit is the powerful 120-decibel alarm system that activates upon tampering, providing an audible warning. A potential caveat is its size, which may require careful placement when not in use. This European-made lock features a reinforced locking system that immobilizes the steering wheel, making it impossible to turn once secured.

FAQs

How loud is the Artago 870 alarm?

The Artago 870 features a powerful 120-decibel alarm, designed to be highly audible.

Does the lock damage the steering wheel?

When used correctly and as intended, the lock should not cause damage. Ensure a secure fit without excessive force and avoid prolonged contact with sensitive steering wheel materials if you have concerns.

How is the alarm powered?

The alarm is typically powered by internal batteries. Refer to the product manual for specific battery type and replacement instructions.

Can I leave the lock on my steering wheel all the time?

While it provides security, it's generally recommended to remove the lock when driving. Leaving it on permanently might cause wear to the steering wheel or the lock itself, and it obstructs normal steering.

What is the warranty period for the Artago 870?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Is this lock suitable for all types of steering wheels?

The lock is designed for most standard steering wheels. It's best to test the fit on your specific vehicle's steering wheel to ensure a secure attachment.

Troubleshooting

Alarm does not sound when tampered with.

Ensure the lock is properly engaged and the battery for the alarm is functional. Check the battery compartment for corrosion and replace batteries if necessary.

Lock is difficult to attach or remove.

Ensure the steering wheel is in a straight position. Check for any debris obstructing the locking mechanism. Lubricate the keyhole and mechanism sparingly if needed.

Lock rattles or feels loose on the steering wheel.

Readjust the position of the lock on the steering wheel to achieve a tighter fit. Ensure the articulated joints are fully extended and locked.

Accidental alarm activation.

Ensure the lock is securely attached and not bumped or jostled during normal use. Verify that the steering wheel is fully immobilized when locked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the Artago 870 lock onto your steering wheel. Ensure the reinforced joints can engage around the wheel and the locking mechanism can be secured.
  2. Adjust the lock so it firmly grips the steering wheel, making it impossible to turn.
  3. Engage the lock mechanism according to the product's specific instructions (usually a key operation).

Compatibility:

This steering wheel lock is designed to fit most standard steering wheels. However, due to variations in steering wheel size and thickness, test the fit before relying on it. It is generally compatible with a wide range of car, SUV, and van models.

Care:

  • Keep the lock clean and dry to ensure the alarm system functions correctly. Use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check the locking mechanism and alarm activation to ensure it is in good working order.
