Steering wheel lock

I need a huge favour. Can someone take a picture of where their steering wheel locks (security feature) when the car is turned off (both the upright and downright positions).

My car was hit while it was parked on the road and my steering wheel locks in a different position now. Trying to get insurance to take a look at it so I need a photo of what the normal locking position is vs mine.

Thanks!

+1. Locked on me yesterday while cleaning the steering wheel and it was turned about 45° to the left, at the time. Seemed normal to me.

Can confirm, it locks based on change of position with key removed. Not sure how keyless start works

That’s really weird. Mine only locks at about 50 degrees upright and around 200 degrees downwards. My Frs is 2013 without keyless.

This is the position my steering wheel locks at (always). It used to lock more at a 15 degree angle
