Transponder

Before transponder key technology was widely used in automobiles, it was fairly easy for thieves to take an automobile. They could simply push the ignition switch to the on position and start it up. This is no more possible because modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft security system embedded in the key.

The chip is a serial number, which is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert your key into your ignition it transmits the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer.

The mechanical key can be opened inside the key fob by pushing or pulling on a button. The fob then transmits an ID code to the vehicle when a key is put into the ignition barrel.

A dealer is capable of programming and creating new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they'll do this at the roadside or in your office parking lot or while you're sitting at home in the evening. Dealerships will only be able to provide services if you're able to take your Peugeot to them for repairs and they'll need you to wait around until they finish the work. This is the reason that many prefer to work with an experienced locksmith for their vehicles instead.
