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

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing operation in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. The company started by making umbrella frames and programmers wire wheel before moving to bicycles. They were the first to use rubber tires in 1892.

By 1900, they had added cars to their range of production. The first models were essentially horseless in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. In this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

In the current Peugeots keys, they are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. They also have a transponder chips inside which has extra security features to stop thieves from hotwiring your car. If the key is damaged or lost, the car will not start and an alert message will appear on the dashboard.

The Peugeot will most likely display an alert light in yellow on your dashboard. It's like waves. It also has a thermometer floating over it. This indicates that the engine is getting too hot. This may be due to heavy acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. If this happens you must pull over and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem continues and you are unable to resolve it, you must contact a Peugeot mechanic as soon as you can.

A red warning light that has two cars and a star under a red outline is another frequent issue. This indicates that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has been turned off and must be enabled.

Transponder

Before transponder key technology was commonplace in cars, it was relatively easy for thieves to rob a car. They could force the ignition switch to the on position and start your vehicle. However, this is no longer possible as most modern cars come with an anti-theft feature that incorporates an electronic security chip inside the key.

The microchip inside the key is a small device that is non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. This chip contains a unique number which is used as a "password" to start the engine. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the chip relays this password to a receiver in the immobilizer of your car. If the code is entered correctly, your car will start and you'll be on your way.

If you lose your transponder keys in the event of a loss, you'll need to find a trusted locksmith who will replace it. Locksmiths use a special tool that reads the frequency needed from your vehicle's chip to create the replacement key. This is usually less expensive than visiting the dealership for your vehicle. Be sure that the locksmith you select has this device before you hire them. You may end having to pay more for your keys than you should. Ask the locksmith if they have high-quality blanks for your vehicle model.

Remote

peugeot spare key cars are equipped with an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation to a small glass chip in the key which is embedded with an unique code. The immobiliser reads the code each time the key is put into the ignition to determine if it is working or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, the car won't start and the engine will stop. In this situation you'll have to visit your local Peugeot dealer to obtain a new key designed for your car.

Fob

The fob transmits an ID code whenever keys are inserted into the ignition barrel is put in. If the code matches the engine will then start.

Some key fobs even include an emergency button that is pressed in case of emergency. This feature is very useful if you're driving in an area that is remote and believe you're likely to be robbed or assaulted. It can assist you in reaching the police or notify neighbors of the situation, which may prevent criminals from targeting your vehicle.
