What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image in recent times with distinct design and style for its cars. They're easy to drive, with a light steering, and no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths utilize the most modern technology and machinery to create a replacement car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chip that's programmed into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot started their manufacturing business in the early part of the 1800s when they began making kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company started out by making umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving onto bicycles. They were the first company to use rubber tires in 1892.
In 1900 they had added cars to their range of production. These early models were carriages that had no horses in appearance, driven by a tiller. Peugeot began to make motorcycles around this time.
In the age of modern Peugeots, the keys are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also contain transponders that provide extra security to deter thieves from stealing the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost it will not be able to start the car and display an alert message on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will likely show an orange warning light on your dashboard. It appears like waves and is topped by a thermometer. it. This indicates that the engine is becoming too hot. This may be due to an excessive acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. You should stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If the problem persists then you should speak to an Peugeot mechanic as soon as you can.
Another common issue is a red warning light that shows two cars and the star with a red outline under. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be activated.
Transponder
Before transponder keys was widely used in automobiles, it was fairly easy for thieves to steal a car. They could simply turn the ignition switch to turn on and start the vehicle. This is no longer a possibility, as modern cars are equipped with a anti-theft security chip that is embedded in the key.
The key's microchip functions as a miniature electronic device that has a non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase after the power is cut). The chip is equipped with a unique number which is used as an "password" to start the engine. When you insert the key into the ignition, the chip sends the password to a receiver within the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, your car will begin to start and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your transponder's keys and you lose it, you'll need to go to a reputable locksmith who can replace it. Locksmiths have an instrument specifically designed to identify the required frequency from your vehicle's transponder chip and then design a new one for you. This is usually less expensive than going to the dealer of your vehicle. Be sure to check whether the locksmith offers this tool. You may end having to pay more for keys than you need to. Ask the locksmith if they use high-quality blanks for your car model.
Remote
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser that's linked to a glass chip that is embedded in the key. This chip contains an unique code. The immobiliser reads this code every time the key is put into the ignition to determine whether it is working or not. If the chip is not synced, then the car won't start and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you'll be required to visit a Peugeot dealer and get an alternate key for your vehicle.
If you are replacing a remote or a smart Peugeot key, you'll have to find an experienced auto locksmith that has the machinery, technological knowledge and tools to create the new key. An experienced locksmith will also have a mobile unit that can be used to cut and program the Peugeot car key for you, which will save you the expense of having to purchase a new car key from the dealership.

Fob
The majority of modern Peugeots come with a key fob that will open and close the car automatically. The key fob is also equipped with a small key blade that can be used in an emergency if the electronic component fails. The key blade is kept inside the key fob's slot that can be accessed by pulling or pressing a button. The fob will send an ID code each time an ignition barrel is opened and a key ignition barrel is inserted. If the code is matched that, the engine will be able to start.
Some key fobs even include a panic button that is pressed in the event of an emergency. This feature can be extremely useful if you are driving in an isolated area and are concerned that you might be in danger of being assaulted or robbed. This feature will allow you to contact the police and notify your neighbors to the situation. This will deter criminals from pursuing the vehicle.
