Immobiliser
Peugeot was one of the first companies to include an immobiliser inside a key. This stops the car from being started if the key sends the wrong signal to the car.

However, a professional locksmith has dealer-standard equipment in their van, which means they can be there and making new Peugeot keys at the roadside or at your home faster than dealerships would be capable of.
