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 leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths utilize the most modern technology and machinery to create a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip that is programmed into your vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early 1800s, using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved on to umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming the first bicycle manufacturer and the first to fit rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they had added cars to their production line. The first models were reminiscent of horses and were driven with a tiller. In this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
In the age of modern Peugeots, the keys are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. They also contain a transponder, which adds additional security to stop car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost the car won't start and a warning message will appear on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will most likely display the yellow warning light on your dashboard. It appears like waves and has a thermometer floating on top of it. This means that the engine is getting too hot. This could be due to leaks in the cooling system, or heavy acceleration. You should stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If this problem persists, you should contact an Peugeot mechanic as soon as possible.
A red warning light that has two cars and a solitary star below an outline of red is another frequent issue. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system needs to be activated.
Transponder
Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was pretty easy for thieves to steal your vehicle. They could force the ignition switch to turn on, and start your car. This is no longer an option because modern cars are equipped with a anti-theft security chip that is embedded in the key.
The microchip in the key is a small device that has non-volatile (meaning that it will not erase when power is cut) memory. This chip contains an unique number that is used as an "password" to start the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip sends this password to a receiver within the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, your car will start and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your transponder's key then you'll have to visit a reputable locksmith who can replace it. They will employ an instrument that can read the frequency needed from the chip in your vehicle to create the replacement key. This service is usually cheaper than visiting the dealership of your vehicle. Make sure whether the locksmith offers this tool. Otherwise, you could end up paying more than you should to duplicate your keys. Also, be sure to inquire if the locksmith you're working with is using high-quality keys for your model.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser that is 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 it is the right one or not. If the chip doesn't have synchronisation, then the car won't begin and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you will be required to visit an Peugeot dealer and have an alternate key for your vehicle.
If you're replacing a remote or a smart Peugeot key, you will require a professional auto locksmith with the technology, equipment and tools needed to create the new key. A reputable auto locksmith will have a mobile device which can be used to program and cut a Peugeot keys for your car. This will save you money on the expense of going to a dealership to replace a car key.

Fob
The majority of modern Peugeots come with a key fob that will open and close the car automatically. The key fob comes with tiny mechanical blades that can be used as a backup device in the event that the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be accessed inside the key fob through pushing or pulling on a button. The fob will then transmit an ID code to the vehicle whenever a key is placed into the ignition barrel. If the code is matched it, the engine will get started.
Certain key fobs feature the panic button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature is extremely beneficial if you're driving in an isolated area and suspect you could be in danger of being victimized or robbed. This feature allows you to call the police and inform your neighbors about the incident. This can deter criminals from targeting your car.
Dealers can design and program new Peugeot key fobs for you. However, they are unlikely to do this at the roadside, at the office parking lot or even when you're sitting in your lounge at night. Dealerships can only provide the services if you are able to bring your Peugeot to repair, and they'll require you to be patient until they finish the work. This is why many people prefer to employ an expert automotive locksmith instead.
