How to Unstick a Suzuki Ignis Key

Suzuki's funky, affordable city car Key cutting And programming gets a midlife refresh. It's not a hot-hatch, however it does eat up urban and rural tarmac with aplomb, and its handy turning circle makes town centre driving easy.

The new model also packs innovative driver assistance and safety tech such as lane departure warning and a drowsiness alarm that's a welcome addition on long drives.

Steering Lock

The steering lock is a vital security feature to stop your Ignis from being stolen when it's in drive. It's a useful safety feature however it can be annoying when you're in a rush and you're unable to unlock your steering wheel. There are a few easy things you can do to fix the issue.

Verify first that the ignition switch is set to "on". If that's the case, then try turning the key in the same direction as you did before the wheel was locked. This may be a bit tricky but usually enough to unlock the wheel.

If the wheel does not unlock then you could spray a small amount of canned air into the ignition cylinder, to lubricate it. 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 solutions work you'll have to replace the ignition assembly. This component is easily found in any auto parts shop. Just ensure you buy the exact replacement, and then compare it to your old one before attempting to install it. Also, make sure to remove the cover covering the ignition so that you can view and reach the assembly.

Worn

The steering lock can bind the ignition switch, causing the key to be stuck. This safety feature is designed to stop your Ignis from moving when the engine is running. If this happens, manipulating the steering wheel will free it.

Over time, your Ignis key can start to wear out and become harder to turn. It may not occur as often as a defective switch, but it can happen. If this is the case, it is recommended to replace your key.

Check to see if something is blocking your Ignis ignition key from entering the cylinder. There may be dirt or debris that can get stuck inside the ignition cylinder, preventing it from turning.

You could also try an ounce of lubricant to determine whether it will help. There are a range of lubricants at your garage or at a local auto parts store.

Another option is to use an silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light and then release it when the weather is murky or darker. They also shield your keys from wear and tear. They are available for most Suzuki models and are available online or from a nearby suzuki swift key dealership.

Bent

A key may become bent over time. This could cause the teeth on the key not to be in contact with the lock cylinder in the same way and prevent the key from turning the ignition. In this situation it is necessary to replace the key. If you have a spare key, it's recommended to get it duplicated and store it in a secure place.

The cylinder for ignition can wear out. The lock pins within the cylinder could become stuck together, preventing the key from going completely into or out of the cylinder. The replacement of the cylinder may solve this issue, however it is best to do it before your key gets stuck in the ignition, to avoid further damage.

If your Ignis key stuck despite trying easiest fixes, it may be time to try lubricating the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite will allow the lock pins move more freely and unbind your key. It is available at most auto parts shops. Make sure that you put your Ignis in park before applying the grease. Don't try manipulating the Ignis with your hands to unbind it. This could lead to more serious issues.

Broken

If you've tried all the easy methods to make a key remove its stick but it's still unable to move, the last resort is to use a lubricant to make it move. You can buy this lubricant at a local auto parts store and apply it with a cotton swab or rag to the inside of the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key backwards and forwards gently to spread out the oil. Try to massage it forward, but be cautious not to push too hard as you may break it in the cylinder.

The key's internal circuitry may also become inactive due to wear and tear. It's not as common however, and you'll need create a duplicate key.

The case of your Suzuki keyfob could also get damaged or worn. This is more common when you use a cheaper replica keyfob, which has the shell being made of plastic or rubber. The Key Crew may be capable of transferring the internal circuitry of your old keyfob into an alternative case based on the situation. This will reduce the expense of buying an entirely new keyfob.
