Our mobile auto locksmiths use the most modern equipment and know-how to make the new car keys for your Peugeot. This includes a chip programmed into your vehicle.

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved on to umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming the first to introduce bicycles and the first to add rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.

By 1900, they had added cars to their line of manufacturing. Early models resembled horseless carriages and were steered by a tiller. In this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

In the modern Peugeots, the keys are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also contain transponders, which provide extra security to deter thieves from stealing the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost it will not be able start the car, and it will display an alert message on the dashboard.

If you notice an alert light in yellow which appears to be waves with the thermometer floating over it that is displayed on your dashboard, it's most likely that your Peugeot telling you that the engine is hot. It could be due to the acceleration being too fast or an issue with the cooling system. If this happens, stop and let the engine cool down. If the problem persists you should consult an peugeot 206 key replacement mechanic as soon as you can.

A red warning light that has two cars and a star under an outline of red is a common problem. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system is disabled and must be turned on.

Transponder

Before transponder keys was widely used in automobiles, it was fairly easy for thieves to rob an automobile. They could push the ignition switch to the on position and start the vehicle. This is no longer a possibility, as modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft security chip embedded in the key.

The key's microchip is a miniature electronic device with a non-volatile storage capacity (meaning it won't erase after the power is cut). The chip is equipped with an individual number that can be used as an "password" to open the engine. When you insert the ignition key this chip sends the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct your car will start, and you'll go on your way.

If you lose your transponder keys in the event of a loss, you'll need to find an experienced locksmith who can replace it. Locksmiths have a special tool to read the required frequency from your vehicle's transponder chip and then create a new one for you. This is usually cheaper than going to the dealership for your vehicle. Make sure that the locksmith you select has this equipment prior to hiring them. You could end up paying more for your keys than you need to. Be sure to ask if the locksmith you're working for uses a high-quality key blank for the model you're using.

Remote

Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser linked to an embedded glass chip inside the key. The chip is able to store an individual code. When the key is placed into the ignition, this code is read by the immobiliser of the car to determine if it's the correct one or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised the car won't start and the engine shuts down. If this happens, you'll have to visit an Peugeot dealer and request a new key for your vehicle.

The majority of modern Peugeots are equipped with a key fob that will both open and lock the vehicle automatically. The key fob also has a small mechanical key blade that can be utilized in the event of an emergency, if the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be accessed inside the key fob through pushing or pulling on a button. The fob will then send an ID code to the vehicle whenever keys are inserted into the ignition barrel. If the code is matched, the engine will start.

Some key fobs include the panic button that can be pressed during an emergency.
