If the immobilizer control module receives a code emitted by your key that is different to the code it's expecting, it will illuminate the warning light on the console or flash quickly. This means that something is wrong and you may need to take the car to an Peugeot dealer, along with your registration card and identity document, in order to reset the system and the keys programmed.
