What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys

Peugeot has transformed its image over the last few years by introducing a distinctive style for its vehicles. They are simple to drive with the light steering, and there is no body leaning when driving at higher speeds.

Our mobile auto locksmiths make use of the latest technology and equipment to make a replacement car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chip programmed into the car.

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing operation in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They quickly moved to umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming an early pioneer in bicycles and the first to fit rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.

In 1900, they added a variety of cars to their line of production. The first models were reminiscent of horseless carriages and were steered with a tiller. Peugeot began to make motorcycles around this time.

In the age of modern Peugeots keys, they are not just mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also contain transponders, which offer extra security to prevent car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost the car will not start the car but will display an alert message on the dashboard.

If you notice an alert light in yellow which appears to be waves with an evaporator floating above and that is displayed on your dashboard, it's most likely that your Peugeot warning you that your engine is hot. This may be due to heavy acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. If this happens, stop and allow the engine to cool down. If this continues, you should seek professional assistance from an Peugeot mechanic or dealership immediately.

Another issue that is common is an red warning light that shows two cars and an eagle with a red outline beneath. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be activated.

Transponder

Before transponder keys became a regular feature in automobiles it was quite easy for thieves to take your vehicle. They could simply turn the ignition switch to turn on, and start your vehicle. This is no longer possible as modern vehicles are equipped with a anti-theft security system embedded in the key.

The key's microchip is a miniature electronic device with a non-volatile storage capacity (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 turn on the engine. When you insert the ignition key this chip will transmit the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is valid, the car will start and you'll get going.

If you lose your key then you'll need to seek out a locksmith that is trustworthy and has the ability to replace it. They can employ a specific tool to identify the required frequency from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then design a new one for you. This service is usually less expensive than going to the dealer of your vehicle. Make sure that the locksmith you select has this device before you hire them. You could end having to pay more for your keys than you should. Also, make sure to ask if the locksmith you're working with uses high-quality keys for your model.

Distance Learning

Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation with a tiny glass chip in the key which is embedded with a unique code. When the key is inserted in the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser to determine if the key is the correct one or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised then the car won't start and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you will need to visit an peugeot 107 key dealer and get an alternate key to fit your vehicle.

Fob

Modern Peugeots include a keyfob that allows you to open and lock their car by itself. The key fob also houses a small key blade that can be used in an emergency situation if the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be opened inside the key fob by pushing or pulling on a button. The fob will then transmit an ID code to the vehicle every time a key is put into the ignition barrel. If the code is matched, the engine will start.

Some key fobs include the panic button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature can be extremely helpful if you're driving in an area that is not well-lit and suspect you could be in danger of being attacked or robbed. This feature will allow you to contact the police and alert your neighbors to the situation. This could discourage criminals from targeting your vehicle.

Dealers are able to design and program new Peugeot key fobs for you. However they're unlikely to do this by the roadside, in your office parking area or even while taking a break in the evening. Dealerships will only be able to provide services if you have time to bring your Peugeot to repair, and they will require you to wait around while they work on it. This is why a lot of people choose to use an experienced locksmith for their vehicles instead.
