Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operation in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved on to umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming the first to introduce bicycles and the first to add rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.
By 1900 they had added a variety of cars to their production line. The first models were reminiscent of carriages without horses and were operated with a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.
Modern keys for Peugeot are more complicated than metal mechanical parts. They also contain transponders, which offer additional security to keep thieves from hotwiring the vehicle. If the key is damaged or lost, the car will not start and an alert message will appear on the dashboard.

This could be the result of leaks in the cooling system or an excessive acceleration. If this occurs, you should pull over and let the engine cool down. If this problem persists you should consult an Peugeot mechanic immediately.
A red warning light with two cars and a solitary star below an outline of red is a common issue. This means that your car's forward collision detection system has been turned off and must be enabled.
Transponder
Before transponder key technology was widely used in automobiles, it was fairly easy for thieves to rob an automobile. They could simply push your ignition switch into the on position and then start it up. However, this is no longer feasible as modern cars are equipped with an anti-theft system that includes security chips embedded in the key.
The key's microchip functions as a miniature electronic device that has a non-volatile memory (meaning it won't erase once the power is cut). The chip is equipped with a unique number that is used as a "password" to open the engine. When you insert your ignition key, this chip transmits the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is correct your car will begin to start and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your transponder's keys, you'll need to visit an experienced locksmith who can replace it. These locksmiths will use an instrument that can read the frequency needed from your vehicle's chip to create a replacement key. This is usually much less expensive than going to the dealership where you purchased your vehicle. Just make sure that the locksmith you choose has this device before you hire them. You could end up paying more for your keys than you're entitled to. Ask the locksmith if they use an excellent blank for your car model.
