Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. The company started by making umbrella frames and wire wheels before moving to bicycles. They were the first to introduce rubber tires in 1892.
In 1900, they'd added a range of cars to their production line. These early models were horseless carriages in appearance and steered by a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

It could be due to excessive acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. It is essential to stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists then you should speak to a Peugeot mechanic immediately.
A red warning light with two cars and a solitary star below an outline of red is another common problem. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder key technology became commonplace in automobiles it was relatively easy for thieves to take a car. They could simply turn the ignition switch to turn on and start the car.

The microchip inside the key is a small device that has a non-volatile (meaning that it will not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is equipped with a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip will transmit the password to a receiver within the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, your car will start and you'll be off to the races.
If you lose your transponder keys and you lose it, you'll need to go to a reputable locksmith who can replace it.
