The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it, it sends an electronic code to the engine management system. If the code doesn't match, the engine will not start.

The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grade anti-theft technology in order to ensure that it complies with the highest safety standards. They test the system's functionality by analyzing the messages transmitted between the immobilizer components as well as CAN bus traffic.
However, even the most secure systems can be compromised when they are targeted correctly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to stealthily hack three cars and all models older. In just ten seconds, the security code of the vehicle was retrieved from one of the vehicles. This data is used to create a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to break, but they did eventually be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip is also referred to as a Smart Key, has a RFID micro-chip that transmits an encrypted passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the chip's code is similar to the one on the car's system, then the car will begin to move.
This is an important anti-theft device that prevents car thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key the engine won't start even if a person attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with advanced electronic Engine Immobilizers that make use of rolling/changing codes. The system's intelligent algorithm will alter the second code each time the key is used and insert it into chip of the key. The first code remains permanent when the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer checks the two codes to determine if they are compatible.
This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. It's the reason that most stolen vehicles cannot be started. If your Peugeot starts and it shuts down and then restarts it's likely to be the immobilizer. It could be a variety of electrical problems that are the reason your car isn't working.

The Battery
The transponder chip that is found in Peugeot keys for cars, when used with the vehicle is able to disable the standard immobiliser feature 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 inside the head of a manual or remote key.
When the 206 was first introduced in 1999, Peugeot was faced with a fierce competition from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 might take sales away from the more expensive top 205s.
The 206 line includes a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, as well as a station wagon known as the 206 SW and CC respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated model of 206 that could accelerate from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach a top speed up to 210 km/h.
