Steering Lock

The steering lock is an essential security feature to prevent your Ignis from being taken away while it's in drive. It's a useful security feature but it can be frustrating when you're in a rush and can't unlock the wheel. Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take to resolve the issue.

First, you'll want to make sure that the ignition switch is in the "on" position. Then, if that's the case, try to turn the key in the direction you turned before the wheel got locked. This may be a bit difficult, but it's typically enough to unlock the wheel.

If the wheel isn't able to unlock after spraying canned air into the ignition cylinder, you may apply lubrication to the cylinder. Be sure to wear eye protection prior to taking this action to ensure you do not get any air that has been sprayed into your eyes! Liquid graphite may also work to lubricate the cylinder.

If none of these work it is necessary to replace the ignition assembly. This component is readily available in any auto parts store. Make sure to purchase the exact replacement, and compare it to the original. Uncover the ignition and inspect the part.

Worn

The steering lock could cause the ignition switch to get stuck. This is a safety feature designed to prevent your Ignis from rolling away while the engine is running. If this happens, you can unbind the steering wheel by manipulating it.

In time, your Ignis key can wear out and become more difficult to turn. It may not happen as often as a malfunctioning switch, but it can happen. If this is the case, you should replace your key.

You should also check to see if there is something that is blocking your Ignis key from entering the ignition cylinder. Sometimes there can be debris or dirt that can be trapped inside and prevent the key from turning as it should.

You can also try some lubricant and see whether it helps. There are a variety of lubricant available to buy, so look around your garage or visit the local auto parts store to find one that will work.

Another alternative is to choose an silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light energy and release it when in murky or dark conditions. They also protect your key from wear and tear. They are available for a majority of Suzuki models, and are available through the internet or from a nearby suzuki key replacement uk dealership.

Bent

Over time and with repeated use a key can get bent. This could cause the teeth of the key to not be able to engage with the lock cylinder in the same manner and stop the key from turning in the ignition. In this instance it is necessary to replace the key. It is a good plan to duplicate your spare key and store it in a safe place.

The cylinder for ignition can wear out. If the lock pins in the cylinder get stuck or snagged together, this can prevent keys from going all the way in or out of the cylinder. Removing the cylinder is a solution to this issue, but it's recommended to do so before your key is stuck in the ignition, to avoid further damage.

If the keys of your Ignis remain stuck, even after you've tried the more straightforward solutions It's probably the time to oil the cylinder. Graphite powder or liquid graphite can help the lock pins move more freely and free your key. You can purchase this in most auto parts stores. Make sure to put your Ignis into park before applying the lubricant. Do not try to use your hands to free it. This could lead you to more serious issues.

Broken

If you've tried a variety of methods to make a key unstick and it still won't budge, the last resort is to apply lubricant to make it move. You can buy some of this at your local auto parts store and apply it to the inside of the cylinder that controls the ignition with a cotton ball or a rag. Try again. Move the key backwards and forwards gently to spread out the grease. If you are able to push it forward, go ahead but do not push too hard or you could break it off in the cylinder.

It's also possible that the circuitry inside the key will begin to fail as time passes. This isn't as frequent, and you'll need to make a duplicate of the key.
