Here's An Interesting Fact Concerning Peugeot Key Replacement
What You Need to Know About Peugeot Keys

Mechanical

Peugeot began their manufacturing venture in the early 1800s with kitchen equipment and hand-tools. The company began by making umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving on to bicycles. They were the first to utilize rubber tires in 1892.

In 1900, they had added a range of cars to their range of products. The first models were horseless carriages in appearance and steered by a tiller. Peugeot began to manufacture motorcycles around this time.

Modern Peugeot keys are more sophisticated than metal keys that are mechanical. The KeyLab contain transponders that provide additional security to keep thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key becomes damaged or lost it will not be able start the car and display a warning message on the dashboard.

If you see an alert light in yellow which appears to be waves with an evaporator floating above and displayed on your dashboard it's most likely that your Peugeot telling you that the engine is hot. This could be because of excessive acceleration or a leak in the cooling system. If this happens you must stop and allow the engine to cool down. If this continues, you should seek assistance from an Peugeot mechanic or dealer as soon as possible.

Another common issue is an red warning light that shows two cars as well as an eagle with a red outline under. This means that the Peugeot's forward collision detection system has been disabled and needs to be enabled.

Transponder

Before transponder keys became a regular feature in automobiles, it was fairly simple for thieves to get into your vehicle. They could force the ignition switch to the on position and start your car. This is however no longer possible as most modern cars have an anti-theft device that has an encryption chip embedded in the key.

The microchip that is in the key is a miniaturized device that is non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. The chip has a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When you insert the ignition key this chip sends the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will start and you'll be off to the races.

If you lose your key then you'll need to seek out a locksmith that is credible and can replace it. These locksmiths can use a special tool to read the required frequency from the transponder chip on your vehicle and then design a fresh one for you. This is typically much less expensive than going to your vehicle's dealership. Make sure whether the locksmith offers this tool. You could end having to pay more for keys than you're required to. Ask the locksmith if they're using a high-quality blank for your vehicle model.

Peugeot automobiles have an immobiliser that relies on synchronisation to a small glass chip in the key, which is encased with a unique code. The immobiliser scans this code each time the key is inserted into the ignition to determine if it is in fact correct or not. If the chip is not properly synchronised, the car will not start and the engine will stop. If this happens, you will have to visit an Peugeot dealer to get an alternative key for your vehicle.

Fob

Modern Peugeots have a keyfob that allows them to lock and unlock their vehicle automatically. The key fob is also equipped with 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 is accessible through a pull or push button. The fob will then send an ID code to the vehicle whenever keys are in the ignition barrel. If the code matches, the engine will then start.

Some key fobs come with the panic button that can be pressed in the event of an emergency. This feature is extremely useful if you're driving in an area that is remote and believe you're likely to be assaulted or robbed. It will assist you in contacting the police or alert neighbors to the situation, which will prevent criminals from targeting your car.
