Mechanical

Peugeot started their manufacturing business in the early part of the 1800s, making kitchen equipment and hand tools. They soon moved into umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming a pioneer in bicycles and the first to fit rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.

By 1900 they had added a range of automobiles to their line of production. The first models were carriages that had no horses in appearance, driven by a tiller. Peugeot began to manufacture motorcycles during this time.

Modern Peugeot keys are more complex than metal keys that are mechanical. They also have transponders, which offer additional security to stop car thieves from stealing hotwires from the vehicle.

This indicates that your engine is becoming too hot. This could be due to heavy acceleration or an issue with the cooling system. It is essential to stop the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists, you should seek out professional help from a Peugeot mechanic or dealership as soon as is possible.

Transponder

Before transponder key technology was widely used in automobiles, it was relatively easy for thieves to rob cars. They could simply press the ignition switch to the on position, and then start it up. This is no longer an option as modern vehicles come with an anti-theft security device embedded into the key.

The microchip that is in the key is a tiny device that has a non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is equipped with an individual number that can be used as an "password" for starting the engine. When you insert your key into your ignition it transmits the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will start up and you'll be off to the races.

If you lose your transponder keys, you'll need to visit a reputable locksmith to replace it. These locksmiths will use an instrument that can read the frequency required by your vehicle's chip to create a replacement key. This service is usually less expensive than going to the dealer of your vehicle. Be sure that the locksmith you choose uses this equipment prior to hiring them. You may end up paying more for your keys than you're required to. Ask the locksmith if they're using high-quality blanks for your vehicle model.

Remote

When the key is put in the ignition the code is read by the immobiliser of the car to determine whether it is the correct one or not. If the chip is not properly synchronised, the car will not start and the engine will stop. In this instance you'll need to go to your local Peugeot dealer to obtain a new key made for your car.
