The Immobilizer System

Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when it launched the 206 in 1999, coming from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the more expensive top 205s.

The 206 range comprises three models that include an open-air hatchback (206 CC) as well as a cabriolet 2-door coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 called the 207 GTi that could reach 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reached an top speed of 210 km/h.
