What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image over the past few years by introducing a unique style for its cars. They're a pleasure to drive with a light steering, and no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths use the most modern technology and machinery to create a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip that is programed into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot started their manufacturing business in the beginning of the 1800s by making kitchen equipment and hand tools. They soon progressed into umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming the first bicycle manufacturer and the first to fit rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
By 1900 they had added a range cars to their range of products. These early models were carriages that had no horses in appearance and controlled by a tiller. Peugeot began to make motorcycles at this time.
In modern Peugeots keys, they are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. There is also an embedded transponder chip that provides 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 an alert message will be displayed on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will likely show a yellow warning light on your dashboard. It appears like waves. It also has a thermometer floating over it. This means that the engine is becoming too hot. This could be because of the acceleration being too fast or an issue with the cooling system. You must stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, you should contact a Peugeot mechanic immediately.
Another common issue is a red warning sign that displays two cars and an eagle with a red outline underneath. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys became a standard feature in automobiles it was pretty easy for thieves to get into your car. They could simply turn the ignition switch to the on position, and start your car. This is no longer an option, as modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft security system embedded in the key.
The key's microchip is a miniaturized electronic device with non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase if the power is cut). The chip contains an individual number that can be used as an "password" for the purpose of starting the engine. When you insert the key into the ignition, the chip transmits this password to the receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is valid, your car will begin to start and you'll go on your way.
If you lose your transponder's key then you'll have to visit a reputable locksmith to replace it. Locksmiths use a specific tool that reads the frequency required by the chip in your vehicle to create a replacement key. This is typically a lot cheaper than visiting the dealership of your vehicle. Be sure to check whether the locksmith offers this tool. Otherwise, you may wind up paying more than you would to duplicate your keys. Ask the locksmith if he uses high-quality blanks for your car model.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser that relies on synchronisation using a tiny glass chip inside the key that is embedded with an unique code. When the key is put in the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser to determine if it is the correct one or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, then the car won't begin and the engine shuts down. If this happens, you'll be required to visit a Peugeot dealer to get an alternate key to fit your vehicle.

A professional locksmith will have a mobile unit that can be used to cut and program the Peugeot car key for you, saving you the expense of having a new car key from an auto dealership.

Fob
Modern Peugeots have a keyfob that allows you to open and lock their vehicle in a matter of seconds. The key fob has an incredibly small mechanical blade that can be used as a backup device in the event that the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be opened inside the key fob by pressing or pulling the button. The fob will then transmit an ID code to the vehicle every time keys are placed into the ignition barrel. If the code is matched, the engine will start.
Some key fobs also have a panic button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature is extremely helpful for when you're driving through a remote area and you suspect you might be about to be robbed or assaulted. It can assist you in reaching the police or alert neighbors to the situation, which could deter criminals from targeting your car.
A dealer will be able to create and program new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they'll be able to do it by the roadside, in your office car park or while you're sitting at home in the evening. Dealerships are only able to provide these services if you are willing to bring your Peugeot to them to have it repaired. You will also have to wait while they are working. This is the reason why many prefer to employ a professional automotive locksmith instead.
