What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys

Peugeot has changed its image in the past few years by introducing a distinctive design for its vehicles. They're comfortable to drive, with a light steering, and no body lean at higher speeds.

Our mobile auto locksmiths employ the most modern technology and machinery to create a replacement key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder that's embedded into the vehicle.

Mechanical

Peugeot started their manufacturing business in the beginning of the 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company began by manufacturing umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving on to bicycles. They were the first company to use rubber tires in 1892.

By 1900, they had added cars to their range of production. Early models resembled carriages without horses and were operated by a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

In the age of modern Peugeots, the keys are not just mechanical pieces of metal. There is also an embedded transponder chip that has additional security features to prevent thieves from hotwiring your car. If the key is damaged or lost the car will not start and a warning message will display on the dashboard.

The Peugeot will most likely display a yellow warning light on your dashboard. It's like waves and has a thermometer floating above it. This means the engine is getting too hot. It could be caused by an issue with the cooling system or excessive acceleration. If this happens, pull over and let the engine cool down. If this problem persists, you should contact a Peugeot mechanic as soon as possible.

Another common issue is the red warning light which displays two cars and stars with a red outline beneath. This indicates that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system is disabled and must be enabled.

Transponder

Before transponder keys were commonplace in automobiles it was pretty easy for thieves to get into your car. They could simply press the ignition switch to the on position and start it up. But, this is not feasible anymore as modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft system that includes an electronic security chip inside the key.

The microchip inside the key is a tiny device that has a non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is a serial number, which is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip will transmit the password to the receiver in the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, the car will start and you'll be on your way.

If you lose your transponder keys and you lose it, you'll need to go to a reputable locksmith to replace it. These locksmiths can use an instrument specifically designed to identify the required frequency from the chip of your transponder and then design a new one for you. This is usually much less expensive than going to the dealership where you purchased your vehicle. Make sure you verify whether the locksmith offers this tool. Otherwise, you may wind up paying more than you would to have your keys duplicated. Ask the locksmith if they have a high-quality blank for your car model.


Remote

Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser that is synchronised with an embedded glass chip inside the key. The chip is able to store a unique code. When the key is placed into the ignition the code is read by the car's immobiliser to determine if the key is the correct one or not. If the chip isn't synchronised, then the car won't begin and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll need to visit a Peugeot dealer and request an alternate key for your car.

You will need to contact an experienced auto-locksmith that is equipped with the tools, equipment, and technology to make a brand new Peugeot key. A professional locksmith will have a mobile unit that can be used to cut and program the Peugeot car key for you, saving you the cost of having a new car key from a dealership.

Fob

Modern Peugeots include a keyfob which can be used to unlock and open their car automatically. The key fob also has a small key blade that can be utilized in the event of an emergency, if the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be opened inside the key fob through pushing or pulling the button. The fob will then transmit an ID code to the vehicle when a key is placed into the ignition barrel. If the code is matched, the engine will start.

Certain key fobs have a panic button that could be pressed in the event of an emergency. This feature can be extremely useful for when you're driving through an area that is remote and believe you're likely to be robbed or assaulted. This feature allows you to call the police and notify your neighbors to the situation. This could deter criminals from targeting your vehicle.

A dealer is capable of creating and programming new Peugeot keys for you, but they'll do this at the roadside, in your office car park or while you're at home in the evening. Dealerships will only be able to provide services if you have time to take your Peugeot in for repairs, and they will require you to be patient until they finish the work. Many people prefer hiring a professional locksmith service instead.
