Our mobile auto locksmiths utilize the latest technology and equipment to create a replacement key for your peugeot key replacement. This includes a chip that is programmed into your car.

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early years of the 1800s by making kitchen equipment and hand tools. They soon moved into umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming an early pioneer in bicycles and the first to fit rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.

In 1900, they had added a variety of cars to their line of manufacturing. The first models were reminiscent of carriages that were not steered by a tiller. Peugeot began to develop motorcycles around this time.

In the modern Peugeots, the keys are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. There is also an embedded transponder chip that provides additional security features that prevent thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. If the key is lost or damaged the car won't start and an alert message will be displayed on the dashboard.

If you see an alert light in yellow which appears to be waves with an evaporator floating above and the dashboard, it's probably your Peugeot telling you the engine is hot. This could be due to heavy acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. If this occurs, you should stop and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, you should contact an Peugeot mechanic as soon as you can.

A red warning light that has two cars and a star beneath an outline of red is another common problem. This means that the Peugeot's forward collision detection system has been disabled and needs to be turned on.

Transponder

Before transponder keys was widely used in automobiles, it was relatively easy for thieves to rob a car. They could simply turn the ignition switch to the on position and start your vehicle. This is no longer possible, as modern cars come with an anti-theft security system embedded in the key.

The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device that has a non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase after the power is cut). The chip is equipped with a unique number which is used as an "password" to open the engine. When you insert the key into the ignition, the chip transmits the password to a receiver in the immobilizer of your car. If the code is valid, your car will start and you'll go on your way.

If you lose your key and you lose it, you must seek out a locksmith that is trustworthy and has the ability to replace it. Locksmiths have an instrument that can determine the frequency required from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then create a brand new one for you. This service is often much less expensive than going to the dealership where you purchased your vehicle. Make sure that the locksmith you choose uses this tool prior to hiring them. You may end up paying more for your keys than you need to. Be sure to inquire whether the locksmith you're working for uses an excellent key blank for the model you have.

Remote

Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation with a small glass chip in the key that is embedded with an unique code. When the key is put into the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser in the car to determine if it is the correct one or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised then the car won't begin and the engine will stop. If this happens, you will have to visit a Peugeot dealer and get a replacement key made for your car.

Fob

The majority of modern Peugeots come with a key fob which will both unlock and open the vehicle automatically. The key fob comes with an incredibly small mechanical blade that can be used as a backup in the event the electronic component fails. The key blade is kept inside the key fob in a slot that is accessible by pulling or pushing a button. The fob transmits an identification code when the key that is inserted into ignition barrel is inserted. If the code matches the engine will then start.

Some key fobs include the panic button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature can be extremely useful for when you're driving through an area that is remote and believe you're likely to be assaulted or robbed. It can help you notify the police or inform neighbors about the situation, which can prevent criminals from targeting your vehicle.

A dealer will be capable of programming and creating 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 while you're at home in the evening. Dealerships will only be able to provide these services if you're willing to bring your Peugeot to them to have it repaired. Additionally, you will have to wait while they work. Many prefer hiring an experienced locksmith service for their vehicle instead.
