What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image over the past few years, by introducing a distinct style for its cars. They're comfortable to drive, with light steering and no body lean at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths employ the most modern technology and machinery to make a replacement car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chip that's programmed into the car.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing venture in the early part of the 1800s when they began making kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company began by manufacturing umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving onto bicycles. They were the first to utilize rubber tires in 1892.
By 1900 they had added cars to their range of production. The first models were reminiscent of horseless carriages and were steered with a tiller. Peugeot began to make motorcycles in this period.
Modern Peugeot keys are more intricate than mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also contain transponders, which provide extra security to prevent thieves from stealing the vehicle. If the key is lost or damaged, the car will not start and a warning message will appear on the dashboard.
If you notice the yellow warning light that appears like waves, with an evaporator floating above and displayed on your dashboard it's probably your Peugeot telling you that the engine is hot. This could be due to heavy acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. You should stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, you should seek out professional help from a Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as possible.
A red warning light with two cars and a star beneath an outline of red is a common issue. This indicates that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has been disabled and must be enabled.
Transponder
Before transponder key technology was commonplace in cars, it was relatively easy for thieves to rob cars. They could simply turn the ignition switch to turn on, and start your vehicle. This is however not possible anymore since most modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft device that has security chips embedded in the key.
The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device that has a non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase if the power is cut). The chip contains an individual number that can be used as a "password" to open the engine. When you insert the ignition key, this chip transmits the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your vehicle will start and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your key in the event of a loss, you'll need contact a locksmith who's reputable and can replace it. They will employ a special tool that reads the frequency required from the chip of your vehicle to make an alternate key. This service is often a lot cheaper than visiting the dealership for your vehicle. Be sure to check whether the locksmith you choose has this tool. You may end paying more for your keys than you're entitled to. Also, be certain to inquire if the locksmith you're working with has high-quality keys for your model.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser connected to a glass chip embedded in the key. The chip is able to store an unique code. When the key is inserted in the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser in the car to determine if it's the right one or not. If the chip is not properly synchronised, the car won't start and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you will need to visit a Peugeot dealer to get an alternate key to fit your vehicle.

Fob
The majority of modern Peugeots are equipped with a key fob that can open and lock the vehicle automatically. The key fob has an incredibly 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 in a slot that is accessible by pulling or pressing a button. The fob will then transmit an ID code to the vehicle when the key is put into the ignition barrel. If G28 is matched, the engine will start.
Some key fobs include an emergency button that is pressed in case of emergency. This feature is extremely helpful if you're in a remote location and suspect you could be about to get attacked or robbed. It will assist you in contacting the police or notify neighbors of the situation, which can prevent criminals from targeting your vehicle.
A dealer will be capable of creating and programming new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they can do this by the roadside or in your office car park, or while you're sitting at home in the evening. Dealerships can only offer these services if there is time to bring your Peugeot to them for repairs, and they'll require that you wait for a while until they finish the work. This is the reason that many prefer to work with a professional automotive locksmith instead.
