The immobiliser
The immobiliser is one the best security features in the Peugeot car. It operates by using a tiny glass chip hidden within the key to prevent the car from starting. The system works on a complex code and does not require batteries. The system works by checking the chip's coding each time a key is inserted into the ignition barrel. The car will start if it recognizes the chip. If it does not, fuel will be cut to stop the engine from starting.
This has been a fantastic thing that has reduced the number of crimes committed by cars. However, it means that new Peugeot keys are not easy to get and you need a specialist locksmith for this kind of job.

This could cost anywhere from 120 PS and 300 PS, depending on the type and complexity of the key.
Peugeot keys are susceptible to wear and eventually fail with time typically after five years. They are dropped, thrown and become hot and freezing cold regularly and this causes the electronic switches to wear out. This causes tiny hairline cracks appearing on the circuit board and this causes the transponder signal to fail. This is the most frequent problem with a Peugeot key and is usually the cause of the car not starting or showing an 'Immobiliser Fault' message on the dashboard.
If you lose your Peugeot spare key or the original is stolen, you can visit an auto locksmith near you to get it replaced. They can assist with a variety of car brands and will be there for you, avoiding you the hassle of being towed back to their workshop or a dealership.

A lot of the cheap key replicas you can purchase on eBay or Amazon don't contain the correct chips and this can lead to the key not working. The keys you can purchase for less are usually made in China and are often of poor quality, so you should consider buying an official dealer key from the outset. It is crucial to have a backup plan in case you lose your key. This will ensure that you can return home safely or get to the garage as quickly as possible.
