Suzuki's fanciful, inexpensive city car gets a midlife refresh. It's no hot-hatch but it can eat urban and rural tarmac quickly, and its clever turning circle makes town centre driving an easy task.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is a security measure that stops your Ignis from being stolen when it's in gear. It's a good security feature but it can be frustrating when you're in a rush and are unable to unlock your wheel. There are fortunately, a few easy things you can try to solve the issue.

Check first that the ignition switch is set to "on". Then, if you're sure, try turning the key in the direction you were turning before the wheel locked up. This may be a bit difficult but it's usually enough to unlock the wheel.

If the wheel does not unlock after spraying canned air into the ignition cylinder, you may lubricate the cylinder. Just be sure to wear eye protection before doing this so you do not get any air that has been sprayed into your eyes! Liquid graphite is also a good option to provide lubrication to the cylinder.

If none of these works you'll have to replace the ignition assembly. Fortunately, this is an easy component to find at any auto parts retailer. Make sure you purchase the exact replacement, and compare it with your old one. Uncover the ignition to see the assembly.

Worn

The steering lock can bind the ignition switch, causing the key to get stuck. This is a security feature that prevents your Ignis from spinning away while the engine is running. If this happens, manipulating the steering wheel can free it.

In time, the Ignis keys can wear out and become difficult to turn. It might not happen as often as a bad switch, but it does occur. If this is the case, then you need to replace your key.

It is also important to find out if there is anything obstructing your Ignis key from getting into the ignition cylinder. There could be debris or dirt that may get stuck inside the ignition cylinder preventing it from turning.

Try a little lubricant to see if it helps. There are a variety of lubricant you can buy, so look around your garage or go to an auto parts store in your area to find one that can work.

Another alternative is to use a silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light and release it when the conditions are dark or murky. These covers will also protect your key from wear and tear. They are available for a majority of Suzuki models, and can be purchased on the internet or at a local suzuki key fob replacement cost dealership.

Bent

A key can become bent over time. This could cause the teeth of the key not to be in contact with the lock cylinder in the same manner and stop the key from turning the ignition. If this is the case the key needs 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 cylinder for ignition can wear out. The internal lock pins may become stuck together, preventing the key from going completely into or out of the cylinder. Removing the cylinder is a solution to this issue, but it's best to do this before your key gets stuck in the ignition to avoid further damage.

If the keys of your Ignis remain stuck even after trying the simplest solutions, it might be time to grease the cylinder. Graphite powder or liquid graphite can aid in allowing the lock pins to move more freely and free your key. This can be found at the majority of auto parts stores. Make sure you put your Ignis in park before applying the oil. Don't try manipulating the Ignis with your hands to loosen it. This could lead you to more serious issues.

Broken

If you've tried everything to unstick a key and it still won’t move, your last resort is to try some fluid. You can purchase this at your local auto parts store and apply it to the inside of the ignition lock cylinder using a cotton ball or a rag. Try again. Move the key forwards and backwards gently to spread out the lubricant. If you are able to push it forward, do it, but do not push too hard or you could break it off inside the cylinder.

The key's internal circuitry may also be unresponsive due to aging and usage. This isn't nearly as common and usually means you'll need to get the key duplicated in order to get an entirely new one.

The case of your Suzuki key fob could be damaged or worn out. This is more prevalent when you use a cheaper replica keyfob with an outer shell made of plastic or rubber. Based on the circumstances, The Key Crew can sometimes move the internal circuitry from your old key fob into a replacement shell case, saving you from having to pay for an entirely new key fob.
