What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys

Peugeot has changed its image in recent years, with a distinct style and design for its cars. They are simple to drive using a light steering, and there is no body leaning when driving at higher speeds.

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

Mechanical

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

By 1900 the company had added cars to their line of manufacturing. The first models were reminiscent of carriages that were not steered by a tiller. At this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

Modern Peugeot keys are more complex than mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also include a transponder, which adds extra security to deter car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost the car will not start and a warning message will appear on the dashboard.

The Peugeot will likely show the yellow warning light on your dashboard. It looks like waves. It also has a thermometer floating on top of it. This indicates that the engine is heating up. This could be due to leaks in the cooling system, or a sudden acceleration. If this occurs, you should pull over and allow the engine to cool down. If this problem persists you should consult a Peugeot mechanic as soon as you can.

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

Transponder

Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was relatively easy for thieves to steal cars. They could just push your ignition switch into the on position and then start it up. But, this is not possible anymore since most modern cars come with an anti-theft system with an encryption chip embedded in the key.

The microchip that is in the key is a miniature device that is non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. The chip has a unique number that is used as a "password" to start the engine. When you insert your ignition key, this chip transmits the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct your car will begin to start and you'll get going.

If you lose your transponder's key and you lose it, you'll need to go to a reputable locksmith who can replace it. Locksmiths have a special tool to read the required frequency from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then design a fresh one for you. This is typically less expensive than going to the dealer of your vehicle. Just make sure that the locksmith you choose is equipped with this device before you hire them. Otherwise, you could end paying more than you would to have your keys duplicated. Also, be sure to inquire if the locksmith you're working with is using a high-quality key blank for the model you're using.

Remote

The immobiliser reads this code each time the key is inserted into the ignition to determine if it is synchronised correctly or not. If the chip is not synchronised, the car won't start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll have to visit an Peugeot dealer and get a new key for your car.

The mechanical key is accessible inside the key fob by pressing or pulling the button. The fob will transmit an ID code when the key that is inserted into ignition barrel is placed. If the code is matched, the engine will start.
