What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys
Peugeot has changed its image in the past few years, by introducing a distinct style for its vehicles. They're a pleasure to drive with light steering and no body lean at higher speeds.
Our mobile auto locksmiths utilize the most modern technology and machinery to create a replacement key for your Peugeot. This includes a transponder chip integrated into the vehicle.
Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing venture in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They quickly moved to 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'd added a variety of cars to their production line. These early models were horseless carriages in appearance, and were driven by a tiller. Peugeot began to make motorcycles in this period.
In the modern Peugeots, the keys are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. The keys also include transponders, which provide extra security to prevent car thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If G28 becomes damaged or lost it will not be able start the car and will display a warning message on the dashboard.
The Peugeot will likely show a yellow warning light on your dashboard. It appears like waves and has a thermometer floating on top of it. This indicates that the engine is becoming too hot. This could be because of an excessive acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. If this occurs, you should stop and let the engine cool down. If the problem persists, you should seek assistance from a Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as you can.
Another issue that is common is an red warning light that shows two cars as well as the star with a red outline underneath. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has been turned off and must be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder key technology was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves to rob a car. They could simply push the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. But this is not feasible anymore as modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft system that includes an electronic security chip inside the key.
The microchip in the key is a miniature device that has a non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. This chip contains a unique number which is used as a "password" for starting the engine. When the key is inserted into your ignition, the chip transmits the password to a receiver in the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, your vehicle will start up and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your keys then you'll need to seek out a locksmith that is credible and can replace it. These locksmiths will use a special tool that reads the frequency needed from the chip of your car to create the replacement key. This is typically less expensive than visiting the dealership of your vehicle. Be sure to check whether the locksmith you choose has this tool. You could end having to pay more for keys than you should. Ask the locksmith if he uses the highest-quality blanks for your vehicle model.
Distance Learning
Peugeot cars are equipped with an immobiliser system that is based on synchronisation using a tiny glass chip in the key, which is encoded with a unique code. The immobiliser reads this code each time the key is inserted into the ignition to determine if it is working or not. If the chip isn't synchronised then the car won't start and the engine will shut down. In this case you'll have to visit your local Peugeot dealer to get the new key created for your vehicle.
You will need to contact a professional auto-locksmith who is equipped with the tools, equipment and technology to create a new Peugeot key. A reputable auto locksmith has a mobile unit which can be used to program and cut Peugeot keys for cars for you. This will save you money having to visit an auto dealership to change a car key.

Fob
Modern Peugeots come with a keyfob that allows you to open and lock their car instantly. The key fob also houses an electronic key blade that can be used in an emergency if the electronic component fails. The key blade is kept inside the key fob in a slot that can be accessed by pulling or pushing a button. The fob will then transmit an ID code to the vehicle whenever the key is placed into the ignition barrel. If the code matches, the engine will begin to run.
Certain key fobs feature an emergency button that can be pressed in the event of an emergency. This feature is extremely useful if you are driving in a remote area and you suspect that you could be about to get assaulted or robbed. It will help you contact the police or inform neighbors of the situation, which could discourage criminals from attacking your car.
A dealer will be capable of programming and creating new Peugeot keys for you, but it's unlikely they'll be able to do it by the roadside or in your office car park, or when you're at home in the evening. Dealerships will only be able to provide these services if you're willing to bring your Peugeot to them for repairs. You will also have to wait while they are working. This is the reason why many prefer to employ an experienced locksmith for their vehicles instead.
