The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it transmits an electronic signal to the engine management system. The engine won't start when the code isn't right.

They can test the functionality of the system by accessing the CAN bus and then reading messages that the components of an immobilizer exchange.
However, even the most secure systems can be hacked If they are targeted appropriately. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to unlock three cars that were all older models. It took just 10 seconds to get the security code of a vehicle from one of the vehicles. This data is used to create an ignition key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack but they did break.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that sends an encrypted passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code in a chip is in line with the code on the car's immobilizer system the car will start.
This is an 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, it won't allow the engine to turn on even if someone is trying to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with advanced electronic Engine Immobilizers which employ changing codes that roll. The intelligent system can change the second code each time the key's used and then insert it into the key's chip. The first code is permanent and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is hard to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars aren't able start.

Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when the 206 was introduced in 1999, coming from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it wouldn'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 106 and 306 could take sales away from the more expensive top 205s.
The 206 line includes two doors: a hatchback, a coupe cabriolet, as well as a station wagon known as the 206 the CC and the 206 SW. There was also a WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi that could reach 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and had a top speed of 210 km/h.
