What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image over the past few years, through the introduction of a distinctive style for its vehicles. They are simple to drive with light steering, and there isn't any body leaning when driving at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths use the most modern technology and machinery to create a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip that is programmed into your car.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the beginning of the 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company started by making umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving onto bicycles. They were the first to use rubber tires in 1892.
In 1900, they added a variety of cars to their production line. These early models were essentially horseless in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
In the modern Peugeots keys, they are not just mechanical pieces of metal. They also contain transponders that provide additional security to keep thieves from stealing the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost it will not be able to start the car, and it will display an alert message on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will most likely display a yellow warning light on your dashboard. It looks like waves and has a thermometer floating over it. This indicates that the engine is heating up. This could be the result of leaks in the cooling system, or excessive acceleration. You must stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, you should contact a Peugeot mechanic as soon as possible.
A red warning light that has two cars and a solitary star below an outline of red is another common issue. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be activated.
Transponder
Before transponder keys was a standard feature in cars, it was relatively easy for thieves to steal cars. They could push the ignition switch to the on position, and start your vehicle. But, this is not possible anymore since most modern cars have an anti-theft system that includes a security chip in the key.
The microchip inside the key is a miniature device that is non-volatile (meaning that it will not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is a serial number, which is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When you insert the ignition key this chip sends the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is correct your car will start, and you'll start your journey.
If you lose your transponder keys and you lose it, you'll need to go to a reputable locksmith who can replace it. The locksmiths they employ will use a specific tool that reads the frequency of the chip of your vehicle to make the replacement key. This is typically cheaper than going to the dealership for your vehicle. Be sure that the locksmith you select has this tool prior to hiring them. In the event that they don't, you could end paying more than you would to duplicate your keys. Ask the locksmith if they're using an excellent blank for your car model.
Remote
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser linked to an embedded glass chip inside the key. The chip has an unique code. The immobiliser reads this code every time the key is put into the ignition to determine whether it is synchronised correctly or not. If the chip isn't synchronised, then the car won't start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll need to visit a Peugeot dealer and request a replacement key made to fit your vehicle.
If you're replacing the remote or smart Peugeot key, you will require a professional auto locksmith who has the machinery, technological knowledge and tools needed to create the new key. An experienced locksmith will also have a mobile device that can be used to cut and program a Peugeot car key for you, saving you the expense of having a car key replaced at the dealership.

Fob
Modern Peugeots come with a keyfob that can open and lock their vehicle by itself. The key fob contains an incredibly small mechanical blade that can be used as a backup device in the event that the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is stored inside the key fob's slot that can be accessed by pulling or pressing a button. TheKeyLab will transmit an identification code when keys are inserted into the ignition barrel is inserted. If the code matches that, the engine will be able to start.
Some key fobs include a panic switch that can be activated in an emergency. This feature can be extremely helpful if you're driving in a remote area and are concerned that you might be about to get attacked or robbed. This feature will allow you to notify the police and warn your neighbors about the situation. This can deter criminals from pursuing the vehicle.
A dealer will be able to create and program new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they can do this by the roadside, in your office parking lot or while you're at home in the evening. Dealerships can only offer these services if you're able to bring your Peugeot to them for repairs and they will require you to wait while they work on it. Many prefer hiring an experienced locksmith service for their vehicle instead.
