What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image over the past few years, by introducing a distinctive style for its vehicles. They're comfortable to drive, with a light steering and no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths use the latest technology and machinery to create a replacement car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chips that are embedded into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing business during the early part of the 1800s when they began making kitchen equipment and hand tools. They soon moved into umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming the first to introduce bicycles and the first to install rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they had added cars to their line of manufacturing. The first models were carriages that had no horses in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
In modern Peugeots keys, they are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. They also contain transponders, which provide additional security to stop car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key is lost or damaged the car will not start and a warning message will appear on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will most likely display an orange warning light on your dashboard. It's like waves. It also has a thermometer floating over it. This means the engine is heating up. This could be caused by leaks in the cooling system or a sudden acceleration. If this happens, stop and let the engine cool down. If the problem persists, you should seek help from a Peugeot mechanic or dealer immediately.
Another issue that is common is the red warning light that shows two cars as well as an eagle with a red outline under. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves to rob an automobile. They could force the ignition switch to turn on and start your car. This is no more possible since modern vehicles are equipped with a anti-theft security system embedded in the key.
The key's microchip functions as a miniature electronic device with non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase after the power is cut). The chip has a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert the ignition key it transmits the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will start and you'll be off to the races.
If you lose your transponder's key in the event of a loss, you'll need to find a reputable locksmith who can replace it. They will use an instrument that can identify the required frequency from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then design a fresh one for you. This service is usually cheaper than going to the dealer of your vehicle. Be sure to check whether the locksmith you choose has this tool. You may end up paying more for your keys than you should. Ask the locksmith if he uses the highest-quality blanks for your vehicle model.
Remote
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation with a tiny glass chip inside the key, which is encased with a unique code. When the key is put in the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser in the car to determine if it is the right one or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised, the car won't start and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you'll be required to visit an Peugeot dealer to get an alternative key for your car.
If you're replacing a remote or a smart Peugeot key, you'll need to find a professional auto locksmith with the machinery, technological knowledge and tools to create the new key. A reputable auto locksmith has a mobile unit that can be used to program and cut Peugeot keys for your car. This will save you money having to visit a dealership to replace a car key.

Fob
Most modern Peugeots are equipped with a key fob which can open and lock the vehicle automatically. The key fob contains an incredibly small mechanical blade that can be used as a backup in case the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is stored inside the key fob in a slot that can be accessed by pushing or pulling a button. The fob will send an ID code each time keys are inserted into the ignition barrel is introduced. If the code is matched the code, the engine will begin to run.
Some key fobs include a panic button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature can be extremely useful for when you're driving through an area that is remote and you believe you're likely to be robbed or assaulted. It can help you notify the police or notify neighbors of the situation, which may discourage criminals from attacking your car.
