Peugeot began their manufacturing operations in the early 1800s by using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. The company began by manufacturing umbrella frames and wire wheels before moving onto 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 essentially horseless in appearance, driven by a tiller. At this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

Modern Peugeot keys are more intricate than metal keys that are mechanical. They also have transponders that provide extra security to prevent car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost, it will not start the car and display a warning message on the dashboard.

It could be caused by leaks in the cooling system, or excessive acceleration. If this occurs, you should pull over and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists and you are unable to resolve it, you must contact a peugeot replacement key fob mechanic as soon as possible.

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

Transponder

Before transponder key technology was commonplace in cars, it was relatively easy for thieves to take cars. They could simply force the ignition switch to the on position and start it up. This is no more possible since modern vehicles come with an anti-theft security chip embedded in the key.

The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device with non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase when the power is cut). The chip has a unique serial number that is used as the "password" to start the engine. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the chip transmits the password to a receiver within your car's immobilizer. If the code is entered correctly, the car will start and you'll start your journey.

If you lose your key in the event of a loss, you'll need contact a locksmith who is reputable and can replace it. The locksmiths they employ will use an instrument that reads the frequency of the chip of your vehicle to make an alternate key. This is usually cheaper than going to your vehicle's dealership.

Remote

Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser connected to a glass chip embedded in the key. The chip has an individual code. Whenever the key is inserted in the ignition, this code is read by the immobiliser to determine if the key is the right one or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised then the car won't begin and the engine will shut down. In this scenario you'll need to visit your local Peugeot dealer to obtain a new key made for your car.

If you're replacing a remote or a smart Peugeot key, you'll require a professional auto locksmith with the technology, equipment and tools required to create the new key.
