What’s the goal of my Fiat Doblo Cargo’s ignition lock?
The ignition lock of your Fiat Doblo Cargo is a security part. Its purpose is to secure your car from theft attempts. It is positioned on the steering column of your motor vehicle, developed in 1931 by Abram Neiman. Its purpose is to prevent your Fiat Doblo Cargo from starting by blocking the steering and the steering lock if it does not identify your motor vehicle key. It is closely linked to the starter switch which will integrate the key lock and an electric switch. There is a tendency to confuse the starter switch and the neiman, and when we speak about blocked neiman we often make reference to a key that does not turn or does not turn well in the cylinder of the lock of your motor vehicle.
