What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image in the last few years by introducing a distinctive style for its vehicles. They are simple to drive using a light steering, and there isn't any body leaning during higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths have the latest technology and machinery. They know-how to make the new car keys for your Peugeot. This includes a chip that is programmed into your car.
Mechanical
Peugeot started their manufacturing business during the early part of the 1800s by making kitchen equipment and hand tools. They soon progressed into umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming a pioneer in bicycles and the first to fit rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they added a range cars to their line of production. The first models were reminiscent of carriages that were not steered with a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
In the current Peugeots keys, they are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also include a transponder, which adds extra security to deter thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost, it will not start the car and display an alert message on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will likely show an alert light in yellow on your dashboard. It's like waves and has a thermometer floating on top of it. This indicates that the engine is heating up. It could be caused by an issue with the cooling system or heavy acceleration. You must stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If the issue persists, you should seek assistance from a Peugeot mechanic or dealership as soon as possible.
Another common issue is a red warning sign which displays two cars and the star with a red outline below. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys were an everyday feature in cars it was pretty easy for thieves to get into your car. They could simply force your ignition switch into the off position and then turn it up. But this is no longer possible as most modern cars have an anti-theft system that includes an electronic security chip inside the key.
The key's microchip is a miniature electronic device that has non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase after the power is cut). The chip has a unique serial number that is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When you insert your key into your ignition it transmits the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will begin to start and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your transponder's key, you'll need to visit an experienced locksmith who can replace it. They will use an instrument that can determine the frequency required from the transponder chip in your vehicle and then create a new one for you. This is typically less expensive than visiting the dealership for your vehicle. Make sure the locksmith you choose uses this device before you hire them. Otherwise, you could end having to pay more than you're entitled to have your keys duplicated. Ask the locksmith if they use high-quality blanks for your vehicle model.
Remote
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser that's linked to the embedded glass chip in the key. The chip has an unique code. When the key is placed in 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 is not synced, then the car will not start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll need to visit a Peugeot dealer and get a new key to fit your vehicle.
You will need to contact an auto-locksmith professional who has the necessary tools, technology and equipment to create a new Peugeot key. A professional auto locksmith will have a mobile device that can be used to program and cut Peugeot car keys for you. This will save you money on having to visit a dealership to replace a car key.

Fob
Modern Peugeots include a keyfob that allows you to open and lock their car instantly. The key fob also contains the small mechanical key blade that can be used in an emergency event if the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is accessed inside the key fob by pushing or pulling a button. The fob then transmits an ID code to the vehicle every time the key is inserted into the ignition barrel. If the code is matched, the engine will start.
Some key fobs include the panic button that can be pressed during an emergency. This feature is extremely useful if you are driving in an isolated area and suspect that you may be about to get assaulted or robbed. This feature will allow you to notify the police and notify your neighbors about the situation. This will deter criminals from targeting your vehicle.
A dealer is competent to design and program new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they'll be able to do it by the roadside or in your office parking lot or while you're relaxing at home in the evening. Dealerships will be competent to provide these services if you are willing to bring your Peugeot to them for repairs. You'll also have to wait while they are working. Many prefer hiring an experienced locksmith service for their vehicle instead.
