Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early years of the 1800s when they began making kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company started out by making umbrella frames and wire wheels before moving to bicycles. They were the first to introduce rubber tires in 1892.

In 1900, they had added cars to their line of production. The first models were reminiscent of carriages that were not steered with a tiller. In this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

In the modern Peugeots keys, they are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also contain transponders that provide additional security to keep car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost, it will not start the car and will display an alert message on the dashboard.

If you see an alert light in yellow that resembles waves, and a thermometer floating in the air that is displayed on your dashboard, it's probably your Peugeot telling you the engine is getting too hot. This could be caused by a cooling system leak or a sudden acceleration. You should stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If the problem continues and you are unable to resolve it, you must contact a Peugeot mechanic immediately.

A red warning light with two cars and a solitary star below an outline of red is another common issue. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be activated.

Transponder

Before transponder keys became a standard feature in automobiles, it was fairly simple for thieves to rob your car. They could force the ignition switch to the on position and start the vehicle. However, this is no longer feasible as modern cars come with an anti-theft system with an encryption chip embedded in the key.

The microchip in the key is a miniaturized device that is non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. This chip contains a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip relays the password to the receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is entered correctly, your car will begin to start and you can go on your way.

If you lose your transponder's keys in the event of a loss, you'll need to find a reputable locksmith who can replace it. They will use a special tool to identify the required frequency from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then create a new one for you. This service is often cheaper than visiting the dealership where you purchased your vehicle. Be sure to confirm whether the locksmith offers this tool. You may end paying more for your keys than you should. Also, be sure to inquire whether the locksmith you're working with has the highest-quality key blanks for the model you're using.

Remote

Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser which is synchronised with an embedded glass chip inside the key. The chip is able to store an unique code. The immobiliser scans this code each time the key is put into the ignition to determine if it is in fact correct or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised, the car will not start and the engine will shut down. In this situation, you'll need to visit your local Peugeot dealer to obtain the new key created for your car.

If you are replacing a remote or a smart Peugeot key, you will require a professional auto locksmith that has the machinery, technological knowledge and tools needed to make the new key. A reputable locksmith will have a mobile unit that can be used to cut and program a Peugeot car key for you, saving you the expense of having a replacement car key at a dealership.

Fob

Modern Peugeots have a keyfob that allows them to lock and unlock their car automatically. The key fob has tiny mechanical blades that can be used as a backup device in the event that the electronic component fails. The key blade is kept inside the key fob's slot that is accessible by pulling or pushing a button. The fob will then send an ID code to the vehicle when the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. If the code matches the engine will be started.

Some key fobs even include a panic button that can be pressed in case of emergency. This feature is very useful for when you're driving through a remote area and you suspect you might be about to be assaulted or robbed. This feature will allow you to notify the police and inform your neighbors about the situation. This could discourage criminals from targeting your vehicle.

A dealer will be able to create and program new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they'll be able to do it by the roadside or in your car park, or when you're at home in the evening. Dealerships will be in a position to offer these services if you are willing to bring your Peugeot to them for repairs. Additionally, you will have to wait while they are working. This is the reason why many prefer to employ an experienced locksmith for their vehicles instead.
