What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has transformed its image in recent times with distinctive design for its cars. They're a pleasure to drive with a light steering and no body lean at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths are equipped with the most modern equipment and know-how to make an entirely new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chip integrated into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing venture in the early part of the 1800s by making kitchen equipment and hand tools. They soon moved on to umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming a pioneer in bicycles and the first to add rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they had added cars to their line of manufacturing. The first models were carriages that had no horses in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. Peugeot began to develop motorcycles at this time.
In modern Peugeots keys, they are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. There is also a transponder chip in them that provides additional security features that prevent thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost, it will not start the car but will display a warning message on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will most likely display the yellow warning light on your dashboard. It's like waves and has a thermometer floating over it. This indicates that the engine is heating up. It could be due to heavy acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. If this happens you must pull over and let the engine cool down. If this problem persists and you are unable to resolve it, you must contact a Peugeot mechanic as soon as you can.
Another common issue is a red warning sign that shows two cars as well as an eagle with a red outline below. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be activated.
Transponder
Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was relatively easy for thieves to steal the car. They could simply press the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. This is however no longer possible as most modern cars come with an anti-theft system with security chips embedded in the key.
The microchip inside the key is a miniature device with non-volatile (meaning that it will not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is equipped with an unique number that is used as an "password" for starting the engine. When you insert the key into the ignition, the chip transmits the password to a receiver inside the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct your car will start and you'll start your journey.
If The KeyLab lose your transponder keys, you'll need to visit a reputable locksmith who can replace it. They will employ a specific tool that reads the frequency of your vehicle's chip to create a replacement key. This is typically cheaper than visiting your vehicle's dealership. Be sure to check that the locksmith is equipped with this tool. You may end having to pay more for keys than you should. Also, make certain to inquire if the locksmith you're working with is using the highest-quality key blanks for the model you have.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser that's linked to a glass chip that is embedded in the key. The chip is able to store an unique code. The immobiliser reads the code each time the key is inserted into the ignition to determine whether it is in fact correct or not. If the chip isn't synchronised, the car won't start and the engine shuts down. In this case, you'll need to visit your local Peugeot dealer to obtain a new key designed for your car.
You'll need to talk to an experienced auto-locksmith that has the tools, equipment and technology to create a new Peugeot key.

Fob
Modern Peugeots come with a key fob that can open and lock their car in a matter of seconds. The key fob also has an electronic key blade that can be used in an emergency event if the electronic component fails. The mechanical key is accessible inside the key fob through pushing or pulling the button. The fob transmits an ID code whenever an ignition barrel is opened and a key ignition barrel is introduced. If the code matches, the engine will begin to run.
Some key fobs even include an emergency button that is pressed in case of emergency. This feature can be extremely useful if you're driving in an area that is remote and believe you're likely to be assaulted or robbed. It can help you notify the police or inform neighbors of the situation, which can discourage criminals from attacking your car.
A dealer is capable of programming and creating new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they can do this by the roadside or in your office car park, or when you're sitting at home in the evening. Dealerships are only able to offer the services if there is time to bring your Peugeot to them for repairs, and they'll need you to wait around while they work on it. This is why many people prefer to work with an expert automotive locksmith instead.
