What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image in recent years with distinctive design for its vehicles. They’re easy to drive, with light steering and no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths make use of the latest technology and machinery to create a replacement key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip programmed into your vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot started their manufacturing business during the early part of the 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company started out by making umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving onto bicycles. They were the first company to use rubber tires in 1892.
In 1900, they’d added a variety of cars to their production line. The first models were reminiscent of carriages without horses and were operated with a tiller. Peugeot began to develop motorcycles in this period.
Modern Peugeot keys are more sophisticated than metal keys that are mechanical. The keys also include transponders, which provide additional security to keep car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost, the car will not start and a warning message will display on the dashboard.
If you notice the yellow warning light that resembles waves, and a thermometer floating in the air that is displayed on your dashboard, it’s probably your peugeot 107 remote key replacement (from 18) telling you the engine is hot. This could be due to heavy acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. If this happens, pull over and allow the engine to cool down. If this persists then you should seek out professional help from an peugeot 308 key replacement mechanic or dealership immediately.
Another issue that is common is the red warning light that displays two cars and a star with a red outline underneath. This means that your Peugeot’s forward collision detection system has to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys was a standard feature in cars, it was relatively easy for thieves to take a car. They could simply press your ignition switch into the on position and start it up. But, this is no longer feasible as modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft system that includes an encryption chip embedded in the key.
The key’s microchip functions as a miniature electronic device that has non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn’t erase if the power is cut). The chip is equipped with an unique number that is used as an “password” for the purpose of starting the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip will transmit this password to the receiver in your car’s immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start up and you’ll be off to the races.
If you lose your transponder’s keys then you’ll have to visit a trusted locksmith who will replace it. The locksmiths they employ will use an instrument that can read the frequency needed from the chip of your vehicle to make the replacement key. This service is usually less expensive than visiting the dealership for your vehicle. Just make sure that the locksmith you choose has this equipment prior to hiring them. You may end paying more for your keys than you need to. Ask the locksmith if they’re using an excellent blank for your car model.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation using a tiny glass chip in the key, which is encoded with an unique code. The immobiliser reads the code each time the key is put into the ignition to determine whether it is in fact correct or not. If the chip isn’t synchronised, then the car won’t start and the engine will shut down. In this situation you’ll need to go to your local Peugeot dealer to obtain a new key designed for your vehicle.
If you’re replacing the remote or a smart Peugeot key, you will have to find an experienced auto locksmith that has the technology, machinery and tools needed to make the new key. A reputable auto locksmith will have a mobile device which can be used to program and cut Peugeot keys for cars for you. This will save you money on needing to visit a dealership to replace a car key.

Fob
Modern Peugeots have a keyfob which can be used to unlock and open their vehicle automatically. The key fob is equipped with tiny mechanical blades that can be used as a backup in the event the electronic component fails. The key blade is kept inside the key fob’s slot that is accessible by pulling or pressing a button. The fob will transmit an identification code when an ignition barrel is opened and a key ignition barrel is inserted. If the code matches the engine will then start.
Some key fobs come with the panic button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature is extremely helpful if you’re driving in a remote area and suspect that you may be in danger of being assaulted or robbed. It will help you contact the police or notify neighbors of the situation, which will discourage criminals from attacking your car.
Dealers can design and program new key for peugeot 207 Peugeot key fobs for you. However they’re not likely to do this at the roadside, at the office parking lot or even while you’re sitting in your lounge at night. Dealerships can only provide the services if you are able to take your Peugeot in for repairs, and they’ll ask that you wait for a while as they work on it. Many people prefer to hire a professional locksmith service instead.
