What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image in recent years, with a distinct style and design for its cars. They're easy to drive, with a smooth steering and no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths are equipped with the most modern equipment and know how to create the new car keys for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chip programmed into the car.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operations in the early 1800s, using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. The company began by making umbrella frames and wire wheels before moving on to bicycles. They were the first to utilize rubber tires in 1892.
By 1900, they had added cars to their range of production. These early models were horseless carriages in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. Peugeot began to develop motorcycles around this time.
In the age of modern Peugeots keys, they are not just mechanical pieces of metal. They also have an embedded transponder chip that has additional security features to stop thieves from stealing your car's hotwire. If the key is damaged or lost the car won't start and an alert message will appear on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will most likely display the yellow warning light on your dashboard. It looks like waves and is topped by a thermometer. it. This indicates that your engine is heating up. This could be due to leaks in the cooling system, or a sudden acceleration. If this happens, stop and allow the engine to cool down. If this continues, you should seek out professional help from a Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as you can.
A red warning light that has two cars and a solitary star below an outline of red is another typical issue. This indicates that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system is disabled and needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder key technology was a standard feature in cars, it was relatively easy for thieves to take the car. They could simply press the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. This is no longer a possibility as modern vehicles are equipped with an anti-theft security chip that is embedded in the key.
The microchip in the key is a small device with 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 start the engine. When the key is inserted into your ignition, the chip will transmit this password to the receiver in the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, your vehicle will start up and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your transponder's key then you'll have to visit a reputable locksmith who can replace it. They can employ an instrument that can determine the frequency required from your vehicle's transponder chip and then design a fresh one for you. This is typically less expensive than visiting the dealership for your vehicle. Make sure you verify that the locksmith has this tool. If not, you could wind spending more than you're entitled to duplicate your keys. Also, make sure to ask if the locksmith you're working for uses the highest-quality key blanks for your particular model.
Remote
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser that relies on synchronisation with a small glass chip inside the key which is embedded with a unique code. When the key is placed into the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser to determine whether it is the right one or not. If the chip is not synchronised, then the car will not start and the engine will stop. In this case, you'll need to visit your local Peugeot dealer to have a new key designed for your vehicle.
If you're replacing the remote or smart Peugeot key, you will require a professional auto locksmith with the technology, machinery and tools needed to create the new key. A professional auto locksmith has a mobile unit that can be used to program and cut a Peugeot car keys for you. This will save you money on the expense of going to an auto dealership to change a car key.

Fob
Modern Peugeots have a keyfob which can be used to unlock and open their car in a matter of seconds. The key fob comes with a small blade of mechanical 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 in a slot that can be accessed by pulling or pushing a button. The fob then transmits an ID code to the vehicle when a key is inserted into the ignition barrel. If the code matches the code, the engine will begin to run.
Some key fobs include an emergency button that can be pressed in an emergency. This feature can be extremely helpful if you're driving in an isolated area and are concerned that you might be in danger of being victimized or robbed. This feature will allow you to contact the police and warn your neighbors to the situation. This will deter criminals from targeting your vehicle.
Dealers are able to design and program new Peugeot key fobs for you. However they're not likely to do this on the roadside, at the parking lot of your office or even when you're enjoying your evening. Dealerships are only able to offer the services if there is time to bring your Peugeot to repair, and they'll need you to wait around until they finish the work. This is why many people choose to use an experienced locksmith for their vehicles instead.
