What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image over the last few years by introducing a distinctive style for its vehicles. They're comfortable to drive, with light steering and no body lean at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths employ the latest technology and equipment to make a replacement car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder that's programmed into the car.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early part of the 1800s, making kitchen equipment and hand tools. They quickly moved to umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming a pioneer in bicycles and the first to install rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they added a variety of cars to their production line. The first models were reminiscent of carriages that were not steered with a tiller. At this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
Modern Peugeot keys are more sophisticated than metal keys that are mechanical. The keys also include transponders, which offer extra security to deter thieves from stealing the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost it will not be able start the car and will display an alert message on the dashboard.
If you notice an orange warning light which appears to be waves with the thermometer floating over it displayed on your dashboard it's likely to be your Peugeot telling you that the engine is getting too hot. This could be due to an issue with the cooling system or excessive acceleration. You must stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, you must contact an Peugeot mechanic promptly.
Another common issue is an red warning light that displays two cars and stars with a red outline below. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system needs to be activated.
Transponder
Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was fairly easy for thieves to rob a car. G28 Car Keys could push the ignition switch to turn on and then start your car. This is no more possible, as modern cars are equipped with a anti-theft security chip embedded in the key.
The key's microchip functions as a miniature electronic device with a non-volatile storage capacity (meaning it doesn't erase when the power is cut). This chip contains a unique number which is used as an "password" for the purpose of starting the engine. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the chip will transmit this password to the receiver in 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 keys then you'll need to contact a locksmith who's reliable and can replace it. These locksmiths can use a special tool to detect the required frequency from your vehicle's transponder chip and then design a new one for you. This is usually cheaper than visiting the dealership where you purchased your vehicle. Just make sure that the locksmith you select has this tool prior to hiring them. Otherwise, you could end paying more than you need to have your keys duplicated. Ask the locksmith if they have high-quality blanks for your car model.
Remote
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser system based on synchronisation with a small glass chip in the key that is embedded with an unique code. The immobiliser reads this code each time the key is put into the ignition to determine if it is in fact correct or not. If the chip is not synced, then the car will not start and the engine will stop. In this situation you'll have to visit your local Peugeot dealer to get a new key made for your vehicle.

Modern Peugeots come with a key fob which can be used to unlock and open their car automatically. The key fob comes with tiny mechanical blades that can be used as a backup in case the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is stored inside the key fob's slot that can be accessed by pulling or pushing a button. The fob will send an identification code when the key that is inserted into ignition barrel is put in. If the code matches, the engine will start.
Some key fobs even include an emergency button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature can be extremely useful should you be in a remote area and you are concerned that you're about to be robbed or assaulted. It will help you contact the police or inform neighbors about the situation, which will stop criminals from attacking your vehicle.
A dealer is competent to design and program new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they'll do this at the roadside or in your office car park, or when you're sitting at home in the evening. Dealerships can only offer these services if you are able to take your Peugeot to repair, and they will require you to be patient while they work on it. Many people prefer hiring an expert locksmith service for their vehicles instead.
