What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image in recent years by introducing a distinct style and design for its vehicles. They are easy to drive, with a the light steering, and there is no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths have the latest equipment and know-how to create a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip that is programmed into your vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing venture in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They quickly moved to umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming an early pioneer in bicycles and the first to install rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.
By 1900 they had added a variety of cars to their range of products. The first models were horseless carriages in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
Modern Peugeot keys are more sophisticated than the mechanical metal pieces. They also contain transponders, which offer additional security to keep thieves from stealing the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost, it will not start the car but will display a warning message on the dashboard.
If you see an alert light in yellow that resembles waves, and the thermometer floating over it displayed on your dashboard it's most likely that your Peugeot telling you that the engine is too hot. This could be because of an excessive acceleration or a leak in 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 an Peugeot mechanic immediately.
Another common issue is the red warning light which displays two cars and a star with a red outline below. 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 pretty easy for thieves to steal your vehicle. They could push the ignition switch to the on position and start your vehicle. This is no longer possible since modern vehicles are equipped with an anti-theft security chip that is embedded in the key.
The key's microchip is a miniature electronic device with non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase after the power is cut). The chip has a unique number that is used as a "password" for starting the engine. When you insert your key into your ignition this chip will transmit the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will start, and you'll start your journey.
If you lose your keys, you will need to seek out a locksmith that is reliable and can replace it. They will employ an instrument that reads the frequency of the chip of your vehicle to make the replacement key. This is typically cheaper than going to the dealership for your vehicle. Make sure you verify that the locksmith has this tool. Otherwise, you may wind up paying more than you would to have your keys duplicated. Be certain to inquire if the locksmith you're working for uses the highest-quality key blanks for your model.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser that relies on synchronisation with a small glass chip inside the key, which is encased with a unique code. When the key is placed in the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser in the car to determine if the key is the right one or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, the car won't start and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you'll need to visit an Peugeot dealer to get a new key for your car.

Fob
Modern Peugeots come with a key fob that allows you to open and lock their vehicle automatically. The key fob also contains an electronic key blade that can be used in an emergency if the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is accessed inside the key fob by pressing or pulling the button. The fob will send an ID code each time the key that is inserted into ignition barrel is inserted. If the code matches the code, the engine will begin to run.
Some key fobs even include an emergency button that is pressed in an emergency. This feature is extremely helpful when you're in an area that is remote and think you're about to be assaulted or robbed. It can help you notify the police or inform neighbors of the situation, which could discourage criminals from attacking your car.
