Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing business in the early 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved on to umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming an early pioneer in bicycles and the first company to put rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.

In 1900, they added a range of automobiles to their range of products. The first models were reminiscent of horseless carriages and were steered by a tiller. In this time, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

In the current Peugeots, the keys are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. They also contain transponders, which provide extra security to prevent car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost, the car will not start and an alert message will be displayed on the dashboard.

If you see an alert light in yellow which appears to be waves with a thermometer floating in the air displayed on your dashboard it's most likely that your Peugeot telling you that your engine is too hot. This could be due to the acceleration being too fast or an issue with the cooling system. If this happens you must stop and allow the engine to cool down. If this continues, you should seek out professional help from a Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as you can.

A red warning light that has two cars and a star beneath an outline of red is a common problem. This means your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has to be turned on.

Transponder

Before transponder keys became a standard feature in automobiles it was pretty easy for thieves to rob your vehicle. They could push the ignition switch to turn on and start the car. This is no more possible as modern vehicles come with an anti-theft security chip embedded in the key.

The key's microchip can be described as a miniaturized electronic device with non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase after the power is cut). This chip contains an individual number that can be used as a "password" to start the engine. When the key is inserted into your ignition, the chip sends the password to a receiver within the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, the car will start up and you'll be on your way.

If you lose your keys then you'll need to find a locksmith who is trustworthy and has the ability to replace it. They will use a specific tool to identify the required frequency from the transponder chip in your vehicle and then create a brand new one for you. This is typically less expensive than going to the dealership of your vehicle. Make sure you verify that the locksmith has this tool. In the event that they don't, you could end up paying more than you should to duplicate your keys. Ask the locksmith if they have high-quality blanks for your vehicle model.

Distance Learning

Peugeot cars have an immobiliser system that relies on synchronisation using a tiny glass chip inside the key that is embedded with a unique code. The immobiliser reads this code each time the key is put into the ignition to determine if it is in fact correct or not. If the chip isn't synchronised, then the car won't start and the engine will stop. In this situation, you'll need to visit your local Peugeot dealer to have the new key created for your vehicle.
