Steering Lock

The steering lock is a security feature that prevents your Ignis from being stolen when it's in gear. It's a vital safety measure, but it can be a hassle when you have to go someplace and you're not able to unlock the wheel. There are fortunately, a few simple things you can do to fix the problem.

Verify first that the ignition switch is set to "on". If that's the case, try turning the key in the same direction as you did prior to the time that the wheel was locked. It can be tricky, but it's usually enough to unlock the wheel.

If the wheel doesn't unlock then you could spray a small amount of canned air into the ignition cylinder to help lubricate it. Wear eye protection to avoid getting cannisters of air in your face. You can also apply liquid graphite to help lubricate your cylindrical.

If none of these strategies work, you'll need to replace the ignition lock assembly. Luckily, this is an easy part to find at any auto parts retailer. Make sure to purchase the exact replacement, and compare it with your old one. Take off the cover from the ignition to view the assembly.

Worn

The steering lock could bind the ignition switch and cause the key to get stuck. This is a security feature that prevents your Ignis from moving away while the engine is running. If this happens, you can unbind the steering wheel by manipulating it.

In time the Ignis keys get worn out and become harder to turn. This isn't as common as a damaged ignition switch, but it is a possibility that it will occur. If this is the case, you must replace your key.

Examine if there is anything that can block your Ignis ignition key from entering the cylinder. There can be debris or dirt which can become stuck inside the ignition cylinder and block it from turning.

Then, you can try using a bit of fluid to see if this helps. There are a variety of lubricant that you can purchase, so check out your garage or visit an auto parts store in your area to find one that will work.

Another alternative is to use the silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light energy and release it into dark or hazy conditions. They also safeguard your key or fob from wear and tear. They are available for a variety of suzuki swift key models and can be bought through the internet or at a Suzuki dealership near you.

Bent

A key can become bent over time. This could cause the teeth on the key to not be able to engage with the lock cylinder in the same way and stop the key from turning the ignition. If this happens the key needs to be replaced. If you have a spare, it is recommended to get it duplicated and store it in a secure place.

Another possibility is that the cylinder for ignition itself could wear out. If the internal lock pins get stuck or stuck together this could prevent keys from moving through or out of the cylinder. This can be resolved by replacing the cylinder, but it is best to replace the cylinder prior to the key becomes stuck in the ignition.

If your keys from Ignis are stuck even after trying the simpler fixes, it might be time to grease the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite can allow the lock pins move more freely, which will unbind your key. This is readily available in a majority of auto parts shops. When applying the lubricant, make sure your Ignis is in park. Do not try to manipulate it in order to release it. This could lead you to more serious problems.

Broken

If you have tried all of the easier ways to make a key unstick, but it's still refusing to move, the last option is to use some oil to move it. You can buy the lubricant from your local auto parts shop and apply it with the help of a cotton swab or cotton swab to the inside the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key forwards and backwards gently to spread out the grease. If you're able to massage it forward, do it but don't force it too much or you risk breaking it off in the cylinder.

It is also possible that the circuitry inside the key can become unresponsive as time passes. This isn't nearly as common and typically means that you'll need to get the key duplicated for an entirely new one.
