What’s the purpose of my Suzuki Across’s ignition lock?
The ignition lock of your Suzuki Across is a security feature. Its goal is to secure your car from theft tries. It is installed on the steering column of your car, developed in 1931 by Abram Neiman. Its goal is to prevent your Suzuki Across 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 incorporate the key lock and an electric switch.
