The Immobilizer Chip A key that is chipped (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it that communicates a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip matches the one on the car's system the car will begin to move. This is a crucial anti-theft feature that helps prevent car thieves from hotwiring or overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't allow the engine to turn on, even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit. Modern cars are equipped with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize rolling/changing security codes. This means that every time the key is used, the smart system changes the second code before pushing it into the chip in the key. The first code is permanent and every time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer processes the two codes to determine if they are compatible.

Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when the 206 was launched in 1999, from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it would not directly replace the 205 but it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. The lower models of both Peugeot 106 and 306 were designed to take the sales of the more expensive 205s. The 206 range comprises three models that include an open-air hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 called the 207 GTi, which did 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h. The peugeot 206 is a sought-after choice for those who want an affordable and stylish family car. As with any vehicle there are problems that may arise.
