Steering Lock
The steering lock is a security feature that stops your Ignis from being taken when it's in gear. It's an important safety measure, but it can be a pain when you have to go to a location and you are unable to unlock the wheel. There are a few simple ways to solve the issue.
In the beginning, check if the ignition switch is in the "on" position. Then, if it is, then try turning the key in the direction you were turning it before the wheel locked up. This can be a little difficult however it's usually enough to unlock the wheel.
If the wheel doesn't unlock then you can spray a small amount of canned air into the ignition cylinder in order to lubricate it. Just be sure to wear eye protection prior to doing this so that you don't get any canned air in your eyes! You can also make use of liquid graphite to lubricate your cylinder.
If none of these methods are working, you'll have to replace the ignition lock assembly. Fortunately, this is an easy part to find at any auto parts retailer. Make sure you purchase an exact replacement and compare it with your old one. Take off the cover from the ignition and inspect the entire assembly.
Worn
The steering lock could bind the ignition switch, causing the key to get stuck. This is a safety feature that is designed to stop your Ignis from slipping away when the engine is running. If this happens it is possible to unbind the steering wheel by manipulating it.
As time passes, your Ignis key can wear out and become harder to turn. It may not occur as frequently as a damaged switch, but it does occur. If this is the case, it is recommended to replace your key.
Check to see if anything is preventing your Ignis ignition key from entering the cylinder. Sometimes, there could be dirt or debris that could get stuck inside and stop the key from turning exactly the way it is supposed to.
You could also try using a small amount of lubricant to see whether it will help. There are many different types of lubricant you could purchase, so check out your garage or go to the local auto parts store to find one that will work.
A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is a different option. These covers absorb light and release it when in dark or hazy conditions. They will also help to protect your fob or key from wear and tear. They are available for a majority of Suzuki models, and can be purchased through the internet or from a nearby Suzuki dealership.
Bent
Keys can be bent over time. The teeth of the key might not be able to connect with lock cylinders in the same way. This can stop the key from turning. If this happens the key will have to be replaced. If you have a spare, it is best to have it duplicated, and keep it in a secure place.
The ignition cylinder can also wear out. If the internal lock pins get stuck or snagged together it can stop a key from going all the way into or out of the cylinder. Replacing the cylinder could solve this problem, but it's better to do it before your key gets stuck in the ignition to avoid further damage.
If your Ignis key still stuck after trying the easiest fixes It could be the right time to try lubricating the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite could aid the lock pins to move more freely, and ultimately unbind your key. You can purchase this in a lot of auto parts stores. When applying the lubricant make sure that your Ignis remains in park. Don't attempt to pull it out of its bind it. This could cause more serious issues.
Broken
If you've tried all the simple ways to make a key remove its stick but it's still unable to move, the final option is to use some fluid to get it moving. You can buy the lubricant from your local auto parts shop and apply it with the help of a cotton swab or an abrasive to the inside of the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key forwards and backwards gently to spread out the grease. You can try to massage it forward but be careful not to push too hard, as you could damage the cylinder.
The key's internal circuitry may be unable to function due to age and usage. This isn't the case as often as it sounds, so you'll need to make a duplicate key.
The case of your Suzuki keyfob can also become damaged or worn. This is more prevalent when you are using a cheap keyfob that is a replica with a rubber or plastic shell. Depending on the situation, The Key Crew can sometimes migrate the internal circuitry of the old key fob to an alternative shell case, saving you from having to pay for an entirely new key fob. We'll inform you if this is an option for your particular situation when we call you to schedule the service.
