Mechanical Keys

Peugeot's mechanical keys work with the immobiliser. When you insert mechanical keys into the lock barrel, the key's small transponder chip sends an electronic signal to the vehicle that it's being properly put in. The immobiliser system recognises the signal and, if all is well it will start the engine.

The key's concealed microchip is protected by a complex code that isn't able to be manipulated or accessed and doesn't require any kind of power source. The immobiliser system cuts off fuel to the engine in the event that a defective chip or one that is stolen is detected. Your Peugeot will not start.
