The power supply circuit for most of the vehicle's electrical equipment receives voltage through the ignition switch
In order to increase the anti-theft, the ignition switch is combined with the lock, so it is more commonly called the ignition switch
The lock is additionally equipped with a steering shaft lock mechanism.
After the key is removed from the lock, the spring-loaded latch is released.
When you try to turn the steering wheel, the latch locks the steering shaft from turning
An immobilizer sensor is installed on the lock, designed to read the code from the chip built into the ignition key
The electrical contact group of the switch and the locking device are connected to each other, work synchronously and are driven by the ignition key
