Five Things You Don't Know About Peugeot Key Replacement
What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image over the last few years by introducing a unique design for its vehicles. They are simple to drive using a easy steering and there is no body leaning in higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths use the most modern technology and machinery to create a new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder that's integrated into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early 1800s by using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved into umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming the first bicycle manufacturer and the first company to put rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they had added cars to their production line. Early models resembled carriages that were not steered by a tiller. In the same time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
Modern keys for Peugeot are more complicated than the mechanical metal pieces. They also contain transponders that provide additional security to keep car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost the car will not start the car and will display a warning message on the dashboard.
If you see an orange warning light that resembles waves, and a thermometer floating in the air that is displayed on your dashboard, it's likely to be your Peugeot telling you that the engine is overheated. This could be the result of a cooling system leak or excessive acceleration. You should stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If the issue persists then you should speak to an Peugeot mechanic immediately.
Another common issue is the red warning light that shows two cars as well as stars with a red outline beneath. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys was widely used in automobiles, it was fairly easy for thieves the car. They could simply press your ignition switch into the off position and then turn it up. This is no more possible, as modern cars are equipped with a anti-theft security chip embedded in the key.
The microchip in the key is a miniaturized device with non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. This chip contains an unique number that is used as an "password" for starting the engine. When you insert the ignition key this chip sends the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start up and you'll be off to the races.
If you lose your key, you will need to contact a locksmith who is trustworthy and has the ability to replace it. These locksmiths can use an instrument specifically designed to detect the required frequency from your vehicle's transponder chip and then design a fresh one for you. This is typically a lot cheaper than visiting your vehicle's dealership. Make sure whether the locksmith offers this tool. If not, you could wind paying more than you're entitled to have your keys duplicated. Also, make sure to ask if the locksmith you're working with has an excellent key blank for the model you're using.
Remote
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser controlled by an embedded glass chip inside the key. The chip is able to store an unique code. When the key is put in the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser to determine whether it is the right one or not. If the chip isn't synchronised, then the car won't begin and the engine will stop. In this case you'll need to visit your local Peugeot dealer to have an additional key for your car.
