By 1900 they had added a range cars to their line of manufacturing. The first models were reminiscent of horses and were driven with a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

Transponder

Before transponder keys were a standard feature in automobiles it was quite easy for thieves to steal your vehicle. They could simply force your ignition switch into the off position and then turn it up. But, this is no longer feasible as modern cars have an anti-theft system that includes security chips embedded in the key.

The microchip inside the key is a tiny device that has non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. The chip contains a unique number which is used as a "password" to start the engine. When the key is inserted into your ignition, the chip will transmit this password to a receiver inside your car's immobilizer. If the code is correct, your vehicle will start up and you'll be off to the races.

The immobiliser reads this code each time the key is put into the ignition to determine whether it is correct or not. If the chip is not synchronised, then the car will not start and the engine will shut down. If this happens, you'll have to visit a Peugeot dealer and have a replacement key made for your car.
