Is it just mine or does the steering wheel not lock, when you turn off the car and turn the wheel? 2014 MC. Or was that a feature in a package I didn't get?

I haven't figured this out on my 2014 mcs either, I'm not sure it exists at all.

I'm thinking keyed ignitions have the wheel lock? This is my 1st keyless ignition car.

Maybe it has to do with it being fly-by-wire? It's good that you don't think about it!

[Oh, I guess it's not fly-by-wire, forget that.]

On page 175 of the manual, talking about repairing a flat, it says this, which may be a cut and paste from a time before:

Turn the steering wheel until the front wheels are in the straight-ahead position and engage the steering wheel lock
