What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys

Our mobile auto locksmiths use the most modern technology and machinery to create a replacement key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chips that are programmed into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early 1800s, using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon progressed into umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming a pioneer in bicycles and the first to add rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
By 1900 they had added cars to their line of manufacturing. These early models were essentially horseless in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. Peugeot began to produce motorcycles around this time.
Modern Peugeot keys are more intricate than the mechanical metal pieces. They also have a transponder chip in them that has additional security features to prevent thieves from stealing your car's hotwire. If the key is lost or damaged the car will not start and an alert message will be displayed on the dashboard.
If you notice an alert light in yellow that looks like waves with the thermometer floating over it displayed on your dashboard it is most likely your Peugeot warning you that your engine is hot. This could be because of heavy acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. You should stop the car and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, you should contact an Peugeot mechanic as soon as possible.
A red warning light with two cars and a solitary star below the red outline is a typical issue. This means that your car's forward collision detection system is disabled and must be enabled.
Transponder
Before transponder keys were an everyday feature in cars it was pretty easy for thieves to steal your car. They could simply push the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. This is however not possible anymore since most modern cars come with an anti-theft feature that incorporates security chips embedded in the key.
The microchip in the key is a miniaturized device that has a non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. This chip contains a unique number which is used as a "password" for starting the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip will transmit this password to the receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start up and you'll be off to the races.
If you lose your transponder's key then you'll have to visit a reputable locksmith to replace it. These locksmiths can use a special tool to identify the required frequency from the transponder chip in your vehicle and then create a new one for you. This is usually a lot cheaper than visiting your vehicle's dealership. Make sure you verify that the locksmith has this tool. You could end up paying more for your keys than you're required to. Be certain to inquire if the locksmith you're working with has high-quality keys for the model you're using.

The immobiliser reads this code each time the key is inserted into the ignition to determine if it is synchronised correctly or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised then the car won't begin and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll need to visit a Peugeot dealer and get an alternative key for your vehicle.
