Peugeot started their manufacturing business in the beginning of the 1800s by making kitchen equipment and hand tools. The company started out by making umbrella frames and wire wheel before moving to bicycles. They were the first to introduce rubber tires in 1892.
By 1900 they had added a range cars to their production line. The first models were reminiscent of carriages that were not steered with a tiller. Peugeot began to manufacture motorcycles around this time.
In modern Peugeots keys, they are more than just mechanical pieces of metal. They also have a transponder chips inside that provides additional security features to stop thieves from hotwiring your car. If the key is damaged or lost, it will not start the car but will display an alert message on the dashboard.
If you notice a yellow warning light that resembles waves, and a thermometer floating in the air displayed on your dashboard it's probably your Peugeot telling you the engine is overheated. This could be the result of a cooling system leak or a sudden acceleration. You should stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down. If the problem continues then you should speak to a Peugeot mechanic as soon as possible.
A red warning light that has two cars and a star beneath an outline of red is another common issue. This indicates that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system is turned off and needs to be turned on.
Transponder
Before transponder keys were an everyday feature in cars it was relatively easy for thieves to take your vehicle. They could just push your ignition switch into the on position and start it up. This is no more possible, as modern cars are equipped with a anti-theft security system embedded in the key.
The key's microchip functions as a miniature electronic device that has non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase once the power is cut). The chip is equipped with a unique serial number that is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When the key is inserted into your ignition, the chip transmits the password to the receiver in the immobilizer of your car. If the code is correct, your vehicle will start up and you'll be off to the races.
If you lose your key, you will need to seek out a locksmith that is reputable and can replace it. They will use a specific tool to read the required frequency from your vehicle's transponder chip and then design a new one for you. This is usually much less expensive than going to the dealership for your vehicle. Make sure whether the locksmith offers this tool. You may end having to pay more for keys than you're required to. Be sure to inquire if the locksmith you're working with uses an excellent key blank for your model.
Remote
Peugeot cars come with an immobiliser that is connected to a glass chip embedded in the key. The chip has a unique code. The immobiliser reads this code every 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. If this happens, you will be required to visit a Peugeot dealer and have a new key to fit your vehicle.

Fob
Most modern Peugeots are equipped with a key fob which will open and close the vehicle automatically. The key fob has an incredibly small mechanical blade that can be used as a backup in case the electronic component fails. The mechanical key can be opened inside the key fob by pressing or pulling on a button. The fob then transmits an ID code to the vehicle each time the key is put into 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 are driving in a remote area and you suspect that you could be about to get robbed or attacked. This feature allows you to notify the police and notify your neighbors of the situation. This could discourage criminals from targeting your vehicle.
