The 10 Most Scariest Things About Suzuki Ignis Key How to Unstick a Suzuki Ignis Key

Suzuki's quirky, affordable city car is getting a midlife refresh. It's not a hot hatch, but it can eat dirt roads in rural and urban areas with ease, and its unique turning circle makes town centre driving a breeze.

The new model is packed with clever driver assistance and safety features which includes lane departure warning as well as a sleepiness alarm, which are welcome additions to long drives.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is a vital security feature to prevent the theft of your Ignis while it's in drive. It's a crucial safety feature, but it can be a pain when you need to go someplace and you're not able to unlock the wheel. There are a few simple actions you can take to resolve the issue.

First, you'll want to verify that the ignition switch is in the "on" position. If this is the case, try turning the key in the same direction as you did prior to the time that the wheel was 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 in the ignition cylinder, you can apply lubrication to the cylinder. Wear eye protection to avoid getting the canned air in your eyes. Liquid graphite may also work to make the cylinder more lubricated.

If none of these strategies are working, you'll have to replace the ignition lock assembly. This component is easy to find in any auto parts shop. Be sure to purchase the exact replacement and compare it to your previous one. Remove the cover from the ignition to view the part.

Worn

The steering lock could bind the ignition switch and cause the key to get stuck. This security feature is designed to keep your Ignis from moving when the engine is running. If this occurs, you can unbind the steering wheel by manipulating it.

Over time, your ignition key can start to wear out and become more difficult to turn. It might not happen as often as a bad switch, but it can happen. If this is the case, it is recommended to replace your key.

Find out if anything is blocking your Ignis ignition key from entering the cylinder. There may be debris or dirt which can become stuck inside the ignition cylinder preventing it from turning.

You can also try using a small amount of lubricant to see whether it helps. There are many different types of lubricant you could purchase, so check out your garage or visit an auto parts store in your area to find one that will work.

A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is another option. These covers absorb light and release it in murky or dark conditions. They also shield your keys from wear and tear. They are offered for the majority of Suzuki models, and can be purchased online or from a nearby Suzuki dealership.

suzuki key programming may become bent over time. The teeth of the key could not connect to lock cylinders the same way. This can stop the key from turning. If this happens, the key will need to be replaced. If you have spare keys, it is a good idea to have it duplicated and put it in a safe location.

The ignition cylinder can also wear out. The lock pins within the cylinder can become stuck or caught together, which prevents the key from going through or out of the ignition cylinder. The replacement of the cylinder may solve this problem, but it's better to do this before your key gets stuck in the ignition, to avoid further damage.

If your key from Ignis is stuck despite trying simple fixes, it may be time to consider lubricating the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite can assist the lock pins in being able to move more freely, which will unbind your key. This is readily available at most auto parts shops. Make sure you put your Ignis into park before applying the oil. Don't try manipulating the Ignis with your hands to free it. This could cause more serious issues.

Broken

If you've tried everything to remove a key but it still won’t move the lock, your last resort is to try some fluid. You can buy some of this at your local auto parts store and apply it to the inside of the ignition lock cylinder with a cotton ball or rag. Try again. Move the key forwards and backwards gently to spread the fluid. If you are able to push it forward, do it but don't push too hard or you risk breaking it in the cylinder.

The internal circuitry of the key can also become inactive due to age and usage. This isn't as common, and you'll need to make a duplicate of the key.

The case of your Suzuki keyfob could also get damaged or worn. This is more common if you use a cheap replica keyfob, which has an outer shell made of plastic or rubber. The Key Crew may be able to migrate the internal circuitry from the old keyfob to an appropriate replacement case based on the circumstances. This will help you save the expense of buying a new keyfob. We'll inform you the possibility for your situation when we call you to schedule the service.
