Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operations in the early 1800s, using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved on to umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming an early pioneer in bicycles and the first to install rubber tires on their vehicles in 1892.
In 1900, they added a variety of cars to their production line. The first models were reminiscent of carriages that were not steered by a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

Another issue that is common is the red warning light that shows two cars and an eagle with a red outline below. This means that your car's forward collision detection system is disabled and must be enabled.
Transponder
Before transponder keys were an everyday feature in cars it was relatively easy for thieves to steal your car. They could simply push your ignition switch into the off position and then turn it up. This is no longer a possibility because modern cars come with an anti-theft security device embedded into the key.
The microchip in the key is a small device with non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is equipped with an unique number that is used as a "password" for the purpose of starting the engine. When you insert your ignition key this chip will transmit the password to the receiver in your immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start and you'll be on your way.
If you lose your key, you will need to seek out a locksmith that is reputable and can replace it. Locksmiths have a specific tool to detect the required frequency from the chip of your transponder and then design a new one for you.
