Steering Lock
The steering lock is a crucial security feature to prevent your Ignis being stolen while it's in drive. It's a crucial safety feature however it can be a hassle when you have to go someplace and you're not able to unlock the wheel. There are a few basic actions you can take to fix the issue.
In the beginning, determine if the ignition switch is in the "on" position. If that's the case, try turning the key in the same direction 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 into the ignition cylinder, you may grease the cylinder. Wear eye protection to prevent getting canned air in your face. You can also apply liquid graphite to help lubricate your cylinder.
If none of them work it is necessary to replace the ignition assembly. This part can be found in any auto parts shop. Just make sure you purchase an identical replacement and compare it with your old one before attempting to install it. Also, make sure to take off the cover over the ignition so that you can inspect the assembly.
Worn
The steering lock can bind the ignition switch, causing the key to be stuck. This security feature is designed to stop your Ignis from moving when the engine is running. If this happens, manipulating the steering wheel will unbind it.
Over time, your ignition key can start to wear out and become harder to turn. This may not be as common as a bad ignition switch, but it does occur. If this is the case, you should replace your ignition switch.
Examine if there is anything that can block your Ignis ignition key from gaining access to the cylinder. Sometimes, there is debris or dirt that can get stuck inside and stop the key from turning as it should.
You can also test an ounce of lubricant to determine whether it helps. There are many different types of lubricant available to buy, so browse your garage or a local auto parts store to find one that is able to work.
Another alternative is to use an silicon "glow in the dark" key cover. These covers absorb light and release it in murky or dark conditions. They also protect your keys from wear and tear. They are offered for the majority of
suzuki swift key programming models, and are available on the internet or at a local

Bent
A key can bend over time. The teeth of the key could not connect to lock cylinders in the same way. This can prevent the key from turning. In this instance, you will need to replace the key. It is a good idea to duplicate the spare key and keep it in a secure location.
Another reason could be that the ignition cylinder itself may wear out. The lock pins inside may become stuck together, which can prevent the key from moving all the way into or out of the ignition cylinder. This can be resolved by replacing the cylinder but it is best to replace the cylinder before the key gets stuck in the ignition.
If your Ignis keys are still stuck even after trying the simplest solutions It could be the time to oil the cylinder. Graphite powder or liquid graphite may help the lock pins move more freely and free your key. This can be found at the majority of auto parts stores. Make sure to place your Ignis into park prior to applying the oil. Do not attempt to manhandle the Ignis to unbind it. This could lead you to more serious issues.
Broken
If you've tried everything else to remove a key but it's still not moving then your last option is to try a lubricant. You can buy this lubricant at a local auto parts shop and apply it with either a cotton swab, or rag to the inside of the lock cylinder. Move the key gently to spread the lubricant around and try again. If you are able to push it forward, do so but don't push too hard or you may break it in the cylinder.
The internal circuitry of the key can also become inactive due to aging and usage. This isn't as frequent and typically means that you'll need to get the key duplicated and replaced with an entirely new one.
