Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operation in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They quickly moved to umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming the first to introduce bicycles and the first to install rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
By 1900 they had added a range of cars to their line of production. Early models resembled horses and were driven by a tiller. Peugeot began to make motorcycles in this period.
In the current Peugeots keys, they are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. There is also a transponder chip in them which provides extra security features that prevent thieves from stealing your car's hotwire. If the key is damaged or lost it will not be able start the car and display an alert message on the dashboard.
If you see an alert light in yellow that resembles waves, and a thermometer floating above that is displayed on your dashboard, it's likely to be your Peugeot telling you that your engine is getting too hot. This could be due to heavy acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. It is essential to stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, you should seek assistance from a Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as possible.
Another common issue is the red warning light which displays two cars and an eagle with a red outline below. This means that your car's forward collision detection system has been turned off and needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves cars. They could simply force your ignition switch into the on position and then start it up. This is however not possible anymore since most modern cars have an anti-theft system with an encryption chip embedded in the key.
The microchip inside the key is a miniaturized device that is non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is equipped with a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to start the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip relays the password to a receiver within 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 key then you'll need to seek out a locksmith that is reputable and can replace it. Locksmiths use a specific tool that reads the frequency required from the chip of your car to create an alternate key. This service is usually less expensive than going to the dealership of your vehicle. Make sure whether the locksmith offers this tool. Otherwise, you may wind having to pay more than you need to duplicate your keys. Ask keyless entry if they're using a high-quality blank for your vehicle model.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars have an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation to a small glass chip inside the key that is embedded with an unique code. Whenever the key is inserted in the ignition, this code is read by the immobiliser of the car to determine if it's the right one or not. If the chip isn't synced, then the car won't start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll need to visit a Peugeot dealer and have a new key for your vehicle.
