The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it transmits an electronic message to the engine management system. If the code does not match, the engine will not start. This helps prevent theft of cars that are not authorized. An expert locksmith can assist you when your Peugeot immobilizer is not working.

However the fact is that not all antitheft devices are designed to be equally effective. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grades anti-theft technologies to ensure that it meets high safety standards. They are able to test the performance of the system by accessing the CAN bus and reading messages that the components of an immobilizer exchange.
Even the most robust systems can be vulnerable if targeted correctly. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to elude three vehicles which were all older models. Within ten seconds, a vehicle's security code was obtained from one of them. This data is used to create a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack but they did be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped that is also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip which transmits an encrypted passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the code on the chip matches that of the car's system, then the car will start.
This is a very important security measure that stops car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key the engine will not start even if a person attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with advanced electronic Engine Immobilizers, which use changing codes that roll. The intelligent system will change the second code each time the key's used and insert it into key's chip. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer checks the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is the reason why many stolen vehicles can't start. If your Peugeot starts but it shuts down and then restarts then it's not the immobilizer. It could be a range of electrical issues making your car stop functioning.

The Battery
The transponder chip in Peugeot keys for cars when used in conjunction with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser mechanism within the ECU. This allows the vehicle to be started and also allows the key fob to open the doors and boot. The chip is hidden within the head of a remote or manual key.
Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, mainly from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205; rather, it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was done so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the more expensive end 205s.
The 206 line-up includes three models including one hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of 206 that could accelerate from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve a top speed up to 210 km/h.
