What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys

Our mobile auto locksmiths use the latest machinery and technological know-how to design a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chips that are programmed into the vehicle.

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing venture during the early part of the 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company started by making umbrella frames and wire wheels before moving on to bicycles. They were the first to introduce rubber tires in 1892.

In 1900 the company had added cars to their line of production. Early models resembled horseless carriages and were steered by a tiller. Peugeot began to develop motorcycles during this time.

In modern Peugeots keys, they are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. They also have a transponder, which adds extra security to deter thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost the car will not start the car and display an alert message on the dashboard.

If you see a yellow warning light that looks like waves with a thermometer floating above the dashboard, it is most likely your Peugeot telling you the engine is hot. This may be due to excessive acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. You must stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If this continues, you should seek professional assistance from an Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as is possible.

Another common issue is an red warning light which displays two cars and an eagle with a red outline under. This means that your car's forward collision detection system is disabled and must be enabled.

Transponder

Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was pretty easy for thieves to get into your vehicle. They could simply force your ignition switch into the on position and start it up. This is no longer an option because modern cars come with an anti-theft security device embedded into the key.

The key's microchip is a miniaturized electronic device with a non-volatile storage capacity (meaning it won't erase once the power is cut). The chip has a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When the key is inserted into your ignition, the chip transmits the password to a receiver within your car's immobilizer. If the code is entered correctly, your car will start, and you can get going.

If you lose your transponder's keys in the event of a loss, you'll need to find an experienced locksmith who can replace it. These locksmiths will use an instrument that can read the frequency of your vehicle's chip to create an alternate key. This service is often cheaper than going to the dealership of your vehicle. Make sure you verify whether the locksmith offers this tool. If not, you could wind having to pay more than you would to have your keys duplicated. Ask the locksmith if he uses a high-quality blank for your vehicle model.

Remote

Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser which is connected to an embedded glass chip inside the key. This chip contains an unique code. The immobiliser reads this code every time the key is put into the ignition to determine if it is correct or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, then the car won't begin and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you will have to visit a Peugeot dealer and request a new Peugeot key fob (Olderworkers.com.au) key for your car.

The mechanical key can be opened inside the key fob by pushing or pulling the button. The fob will transmit an ID code each time keys are inserted into the ignition barrel is placed. If the code matches the engine will begin to run.

Some key fobs include a panic button that is pressed in case of emergency. This feature is very useful if in a remote location and are concerned that you might be about to get assaulted or robbed.
