Transponder
Before transponder keys became commonplace in automobiles it was pretty easy for thieves to get into your car. They could simply push the ignition switch to the on position, and then start it up. This is no more possible because modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft security chip that is embedded in the key.
The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device that has non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase if the power is cut). The chip is a serial number that is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the chip sends this password to a receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is entered correctly, the car will start and you can start your journey.

If the chip isn't synced, then the car will not start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you will be required to visit a Peugeot dealer to get an alternate key for your car.
