If the problem continues, you should contact a Peugeot mechanic promptly.

Transponder
Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was relatively easy for thieves to take your car. They could simply force your ignition switch into the on position and then start it up. But this is not possible anymore since most modern cars have an anti-theft feature that incorporates security chips embedded in the key.
The microchip inside the key is a miniaturized device that has non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip has a unique serial number that is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert your ignition key, this chip transmits the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will start and you'll be on your way.

Distance Learning
Peugeot cars have an immobiliser system based on synchronisation with a small glass chip inside the key, which is encoded with a unique code. When the key is inserted in the ignition, this code is read by the immobiliser of the car to determine if the key is the correct one or not. If the chip isn't properly synchronised then the car won't start and the engine shuts down. If this happens, you will need to visit an Peugeot dealer and get a replacement key made for your vehicle.

Fob
The majority of modern Peugeots come with a key fob that will open and close the car automatically. The key fob has an incredibly small mechanical blade that can be used to provide a backup plan in the event the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is stored inside the key fob in a slot that can be accessed by pulling or pushing a button. The fob will then send an ID code to the vehicle each time keys are placed into the ignition barrel. If the code matches, the engine will begin to run.
Some key fobs come with an emergency button that can be pressed during an emergency. This feature is very useful if driving in an area that is not well-lit and suspect that you may be in danger of being assaulted or robbed. This feature will allow you to notify the police and alert your neighbors about the incident. This could discourage criminals from targeting the car.

Many prefer hiring a professional automotive lockout service instead.
