Our mobile auto locksmiths are equipped with the most modern equipment and know how to create a brand new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip programed into the vehicle.

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing venture in the early 1800s, using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved into umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming a pioneer in bicycles and the first company to put rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.

In 1900, they had added a range cars to their production line. The first models were carriages that had no horses in appearance and controlled by a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

In modern Peugeots, the keys are not just mechanical pieces of metal. There is also an embedded transponder chip that has additional security features to prevent thieves from stealing your car's hotwire. If the key is damaged or lost, the car will not start and a warning message will display on the dashboard.

The Peugeot will likely show the yellow warning light on your dashboard that looks like waves. It also has a thermometer floating above it. This indicates that the engine is becoming too hot. This could be the result of an issue with the cooling system or a sudden acceleration. If this happens you must pull over and let the engine cool down. If this continues, you should seek assistance from an Peugeot mechanic or dealership as soon as is possible.

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

Transponder

Before transponder keys was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves to take cars. They could force the ignition switch to turn on and start the car. But this is not feasible anymore as modern cars come with an anti-theft feature that incorporates a security chip in the key.

The key's microchip is a miniaturized electronic device that has a non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase if the power is cut). The chip is a serial number that is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert your key into your ignition, this chip transmits the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will start up and you'll be off to the races.

If you lose your key, you will need to find a locksmith who is trustworthy and has the ability to replace it. These locksmiths will use a specific tool that reads the frequency needed from the chip in your vehicle to create a replacement key. This service is usually cheaper than going to the dealership of your vehicle. Make sure that the locksmith you select has this device before you hire them. You could end paying more for your keys than you need to. Also, make sure to inquire if the locksmith you're working with has an excellent key blank for your model.

Remote

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

If you're replacing the remote or a smart Peugeot key, you will have to find an experienced auto locksmith with the technology, equipment and tools required to create the new key. A professional locksmith will have a mobile device that can be used to cut and program the Peugeot car key for you, which will save you the cost of having a replacement car key at a dealership.

Modern Peugeots come with a key fob that allows you to open and lock their car by itself. The key fob also has a small key blade that can be used in an emergency situation if the electronic component fails. The key blade is kept inside the key fob in a slot that can be accessed through a pull or push button. The fob then transmits an ID code to the vehicle each time keys are in the ignition barrel. If the code matches that, the engine will be able to start.

Some key fobs come with a panic button that is pressed in case of emergency. This feature is very useful when you're in an area with no security and you suspect you might be about to be robbed or assaulted. This feature will allow you to contact the police and alert your neighbors to the situation. This will deter criminals from targeting the car.
