A method for unlocking and enabling an engine start a motor vehicle using a vehicle key involves the motor vehicle having at least one outer node for wireless connection with the vehicle key outside an interior of the motor vehicle, at least one inner node for wireless connection with the vehicle key inside the interior of the motor vehicle, and a control system. The method involves first producing a wireless connection between the vehicle key and the outer node, and then unlocking the motor vehicle. The method then involves forcibly ending the existing wireless connection between the vehicle key and the outer node and then forcibly producing a new wireless connection between the vehicle key and the inner node.

A vehicle includes vehicle devices configured to adjust a lateral movement amount of the vehicle, and a steering wheel lock mechanism. The vehicle devices include a front-wheel steering device and a remaining device that is a device other than the front-wheel steering device. When there is an anomaly in the front-wheel steering device, a vehicle control device switches a state of the steering wheel lock mechanism from a deactivated state to an activated state. The control device adjusts the amount of lateral movement of the vehicle by activating the remaining device when rotation of the steering wheel is disabled.
