Everything You Need To Know About Peugeot Key Replacement
What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image in recent years with distinctive design for its vehicles. They're comfortable to drive, with light steering and no body leaning at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths use the latest technology and equipment to create a replacement car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chip that's integrated into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operations in the early 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved into umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming the first bicycle manufacturer and the first to fit rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.
By 1900 they had added cars to their production line. These early models were essentially horseless in appearance and controlled by a tiller. In the same time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
In modern Peugeots, the keys are more than mere mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also contain transponders, which provide extra security to prevent car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost it will not be able start the car and display a warning message on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will most likely display a yellow warning light on your dashboard. It appears like waves and has a thermometer floating over it. This indicates that the engine is getting too hot. It could be due to an excessive acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. You should stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If this persists then you should seek assistance from an Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as you can.
Another common issue is an red warning light that displays two cars and stars with a red outline underneath. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has been turned off and needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys became a standard feature in automobiles, it was fairly simple for thieves to rob your vehicle. They could simply force the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. This is no longer possible as modern vehicles come with an anti-theft security chip that is embedded in the key.
The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device with non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase if the power is cut). This chip contains a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When you insert the key into the ignition, the chip relays the password to the receiver in the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, the car will start and you'll be off to the races.
If you lose your keys in the event of a loss, you'll need contact a locksmith who's reliable and can replace it. They will use an instrument specifically designed to detect the required frequency from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then create a new one for you. This is usually less expensive than visiting the dealership for your vehicle. Be sure that the locksmith you choose is equipped with this device before you hire them. You may end having to pay more for your keys than you're required to. Also, be sure to inquire if the locksmith you're working with uses the highest-quality key blanks for the model you have.
Remote
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser controlled by a glass chip that is embedded in the key. This chip contains an individual code. The immobiliser reads the code each time the key is put into the ignition to determine if it is synchronised correctly or not. If The Keylab isn't synchronised, then the car won't start and the engine will shut down. In this scenario you'll have to visit your local Peugeot dealer to have the new key created for your vehicle.
You'll need to speak with a professional auto-locksmith who has the tools, technology and machinery to make 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 expense of having to have a replacement car key at an auto dealer.

Fob
Modern Peugeots come with a key fob which can be used to unlock and open their vehicle in a matter of seconds. The key fob comes with a small mechanical blade that can be used as a backup in the event the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be accessed inside the key fob through pushing or pulling on a button. The fob then transmits an ID code to the vehicle each time a key is inserted into the ignition barrel. If the code matches, the engine will start.
Certain key fobs have an emergency button that can be pressed during an emergency. This feature can be extremely helpful if you're driving in a remote area and suspect that you may be about to get assaulted or robbed. It can assist you in reaching the police or inform neighbors about the situation, which may discourage criminals from attacking your car.
A dealer is able to create and program new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they'll be able do it at the roadside or in your car park, or while you're sitting at home in the evening. Dealerships will only be competent to provide these services if you are willing to bring your Peugeot to them for repairs. They will also need to wait while they work. This is why a lot of people choose to use an experienced locksmith for their vehicles instead.
