Our mobile auto locksmiths are equipped with the latest machinery and technological know-how to make an entirely new car key for your Peugeot. This includes a chip programmed into your vehicle.

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing venture in the early 1800s by using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon progressed into umbrella frames and wire wheels before becoming a pioneer in bicycles and the first to add rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.

In 1900 they had added automobiles to their range of production. Early models resembled horseless carriages and were steered with a tiller. At this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

In modern Peugeots keys, they are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. They also have a transponder, which adds extra security to deter car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost it will not be able to start the car, and it will display an alert message on the dashboard.

If you see a yellow warning light that looks like waves with a thermometer floating above displayed on your dashboard it's most likely that your Peugeot telling you the engine is overheated. It could be due to excessive acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. You must stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If the issue persists then you should speak to a peugeot van key mechanic promptly.

A red warning light with two cars and a solitary star below the red outline is a common problem. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be turned on.

Transponder

Before transponder keys became an everyday feature in cars it was quite easy for thieves to get into your vehicle. They could simply force the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. But this is no longer feasible as modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft system that includes an electronic security chip inside the key.

The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device that has non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase when the power is cut). This chip contains an individual number that can be used as a "password" to start the engine. When you insert your ignition key this chip will transmit the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will begin to start and you can get going.

If you lose your keys then you'll need to contact a locksmith who is reputable and can replace it. The locksmiths they employ will use an instrument that reads the frequency required by your vehicle's chip to create a replacement key. This service is often cheaper than visiting your vehicle's dealership. Make sure the locksmith you select has this device before you hire them. You could end having to pay more for keys than you're entitled to. Also, be sure to inquire if the locksmith you're working with uses high-quality keys for your model.

Remote

Peugeot cars have an immobiliser system based on synchronisation with a tiny glass chip in the key that is embedded with an unique code. When the key is inserted in the ignition, this code is read by the immobiliser in the car to determine if it is the right one or not. If the chip is not properly synchronised, the car won't start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you'll have to visit an peugeot spare key dealer and request an alternative key to fit your vehicle.

Fob

The majority of modern Peugeots come with a key fob which can open and lock the car automatically. The key fob also houses the small mechanical key blade that can be used in an emergency if the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be accessed inside the key fob by pushing or pulling on a button. The fob will send an ID code whenever the key that is inserted into ignition barrel is placed. If the code matches, the engine will then start.

Some key fobs even include an emergency button that can be activated in an emergency. This feature is very useful if driving in an isolated area and suspect you could be in danger of being attacked or robbed. This feature allows you to call the police and warn your neighbors about the incident. This could discourage criminals from targeting your car.
