What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image in recent years with distinct design and style for its vehicles. They're comfortable to drive, with a light steering, and no body lean at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths utilize the latest technology and machinery to create a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip programed into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operations in the early 1800s by using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved on to umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming the first to introduce bicycles and the first to add rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they'd added a range cars to their range of products. The first models were essentially horseless in appearance and controlled by a tiller. In the same time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
Modern Peugeot keys are more intricate than metal keys that are mechanical. The keys also include transponders, which offer additional security to keep car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost it will not be able start the car, and it will display an alert message on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will most likely display an alert light in yellow on your dashboard. It looks like waves. It also has a thermometer floating on top of it. This indicates that your engine is getting too hot. This could be caused by leaks in the cooling system or a sudden acceleration. If this occurs, you should pull over and let the engine cool down. If the problem persists then you should speak to a Peugeot mechanic as soon as you can.
Another common issue is an red warning light that shows two cars as well as the star with a red outline underneath. This means that your car's forward collision detection system is disabled and needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys became an everyday feature in cars, it was fairly simple for thieves to rob your vehicle. They could simply push your ignition switch into the on position and then start it up. This is no longer an option, as modern cars are equipped with a anti-theft security device embedded into the key.
The key's microchip is a miniature electronic device with non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase if the power is cut). The chip is equipped with a unique number which is used as a "password" to open the engine. When you insert the ignition key it transmits the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your transponder's keys and you lose it, you'll need to go to a reputable locksmith to replace it. They can employ an instrument specifically designed to determine the frequency required from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then design a fresh one for you. This is typically much less expensive than going to the dealership where you purchased your vehicle. Be sure to confirm whether the locksmith you choose has this tool. If not, you could wind having to pay more than you should to duplicate your keys. Be sure to ask if the locksmith you're working with has a high-quality key blank for your particular model.
Remote
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser system based on synchronisation using a tiny glass chip in the key which is embedded with a unique code. The immobiliser reads the code each time the key is inserted into the ignition to determine if it is correct or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, then the car won't start and the engine shuts down. In this scenario you'll have to visit your local Peugeot dealer to obtain a new key made for your car.
You'll need to speak with an experienced auto-locksmith that is equipped with the tools, equipment, and technology to design a new Peugeot key. An experienced locksmith will also have a mobile device that can be used to cut and program a Peugeot car key for you, which will save you the cost of having a new car key from a dealership.
