Our mobile auto locksmiths utilize the latest equipment and know how to create a brand new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chips that are programmed into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operation in the early 1800s by using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. The company started by making umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving on to bicycles. They were the first to introduce rubber tires in 1892.
In 1900, they added a range of automobiles to their line of manufacturing. The first models were horseless carriages in appearance and controlled by a tiller. At this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
Modern keys for Peugeot are more complicated than the mechanical metal pieces. They also have transponders that provide extra security to prevent car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost the car will not start the car and display a warning message on the dashboard.
If you notice the yellow warning light that looks like waves with the thermometer floating over it that is displayed on your dashboard, it's most likely that your Peugeot telling you that your engine is hot. This could be caused by leaks in the cooling system or an excessive acceleration. You must stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If this continues, you should seek professional assistance from a Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as possible.
A red warning light that has two cars and a solitary star below the red outline is a common issue. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be activated.
Transponder
Before transponder keys was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves to rob cars. They could just push the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. This is no longer an option as modern vehicles are equipped with an anti-theft security system embedded in the key.
The microchip that is in the key is a tiny device that has non-volatile (meaning that it will not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is a serial number that is used as the "password" to turn on 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 entered correctly, your car will start, and you'll go on your way.
If you lose your transponder keys then you'll have to visit an experienced locksmith who can replace it. The locksmiths they employ will use an instrument that can read the frequency needed from the chip of your car to create the replacement key. This is usually cheaper than going to the dealership of your vehicle. Be sure to confirm whether the locksmith you choose has this tool. You may end having to pay more for keys than you should. Be sure to ask if the locksmith you're working with uses the highest-quality key blanks for the model you're using.
Remote
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser connected to a glass chip embedded in the key. The chip has an unique code. When the key is placed into the ignition, this code is read by the immobiliser of the car to determine if it is the correct one or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, then the car will not start and the engine shuts down. In this case you'll have to visit your local Peugeot dealer to obtain the new key created for your car.

Fob
Most modern Peugeots come with a key fob which will open and close the car automatically. The key fob comes with a small mechanical blade that can be used as a backup device in the event that the electronic component fails. The key blade is kept inside the key fob's slot that is accessible through a pull or push button. The fob then transmits an ID code to the vehicle when a key is inserted into the ignition barrel. If the code is matched, the engine will start.
Some key fobs include an emergency button that can be activated in case of emergency. This feature can be extremely useful for when you're driving through an area that is remote and you are concerned that you're about to be assaulted or robbed. It can help you notify the police or notify neighbors of the situation, which may deter criminals from targeting your car.
