What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image in recent years, with a distinct style and design for its vehicles. They're a pleasure to drive with a smooth steering and no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths make use of the latest technology and equipment to create a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder that's integrated into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot started their manufacturing business during the early part of the 1800s when they began making kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company began by manufacturing umbrella frames and wire wheels before moving on to bicycles. They were the first to utilize rubber tires in 1892.
In 1900, they added a range of cars to their production line. These early models were carriages that had no horses in appearance and controlled by a tiller. Peugeot began to manufacture motorcycles at this time.
Modern keys for Peugeot are more complicated than metal keys that are mechanical. The keys also include a transponder, which adds extra security to deter car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key is lost or damaged, the car will not start and a warning message will appear on the dashboard.
If you notice an orange warning light that appears like waves, with the thermometer floating over it the dashboard, it's probably your Peugeot telling you that the engine is getting too hot. It could be due to excessive acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. You should stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If the problem persists, you should seek help from an Peugeot mechanic or dealership immediately.

Transponder
Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was relatively easy for thieves to get into your car. They could push the ignition switch to the on position and start your vehicle. This is no longer an option as modern vehicles are equipped with a anti-theft security chip embedded in the key.
The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device that has non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase once the power is cut). The chip is equipped with a unique serial number that is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip transmits the password to a receiver within your car's immobilizer. If the code is correct your car will start, and you'll get going.
If you lose your keys then you'll need to find a locksmith who is credible and can replace it. The locksmiths they employ will use a special tool that reads the frequency required from the chip in your vehicle to create an alternate key. This is typically much less expensive than going to the dealership of your vehicle. Be sure to check that the locksmith is equipped with this tool. You could end having to pay more for your keys than you need to. Also, make sure to inquire if the locksmith you're working for uses an excellent key blank for your model.
Remote
Peugeot cars have an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation with a small glass chip inside the key which is embedded with an unique code. When the key is put into the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser in the car to determine whether it is the correct one or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, then the car will not start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll be required to visit an Peugeot dealer and request an alternate key for your vehicle.

Fob
Most modern Peugeots come with a key fob that will both unlock and open the car automatically. The key fob has a small blade of mechanical that can be used as a backup in the event the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is stored inside the key fob in a slot that is accessible by pushing or pulling a button. The fob will then transmit an ID code to the vehicle when keys are placed into the ignition barrel. If the code matches the code, the engine will begin to run.
Some key fobs include a panic button that could be activated in an emergency. This feature can be extremely useful if you're driving in a remote area and you are concerned that you're about to be assaulted or robbed. This feature allows you to notify the police and alert your neighbors about the incident. This could deter criminals from targeting the car.
Dealers can design and program new Peugeot key fobs for you. However they're unlikely to do this by the roadside, in your office parking lot or even while you're relaxing in the evening. Dealerships can only offer these services if you are able to take your Peugeot to them for repairs and they will require that you wait for a while as they work on it. Many people prefer hiring a professional locksmith service instead.
