What’s the intent of my Jaguar F-Type’s ignition lock?
The ignition lock of your Jaguar F-Type is a security part. Its purpose is to secure your car from theft tries. It is installed on the steering column of your car, invented in 1931 by Abram Neiman. Its purpose is to prevent your Jaguar F-Type from starting by blocking the steering and the steering lock if it does not recognize your car key. It is closely related to the starter switch which will integrate the key lock and an electric switch.
