Immobiliser
Peugeot were one of the first car manufacturers to include an immobiliser chip in the key. The chip prevents the car from starting if it detects an error in the signal sent from the key to the car.

It usually happens when you notice an alert on your dashboard that says 'anti-theft system active or a warning lamp that says 'immobiliser failure'.
