What’s the goal of my iveco daily’s ignition lock?
The ignition lock of your iveco daily is a security element. Its purpose is to secure your car from theft attempts. It is installed on the steering column of your motor vehicle, invented in 1931 by Abram Neiman. Its purpose is to prevent your iveco daily 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 incorporate 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.
