Along with unlocking and opening your car doors, some key fobs also have the ability to start the engine.

To start the car using your key fob, simply press the unlock button several times in quick intervals. The door locks should unlock and a red LED light will start to flash.

They can be opened by lifting the flap or pressing the button. The key can then be removed from the slot of the case to gain access to the lock.

Water can cause damage to key fobs, especially when the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some instances a chip that has been damaged can cause key fobs not to function.

Door Locks

The Peugeot 3008 remote key system allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle at the touch of a button on the key fob. The key fob, in contrast to the traditional key with an opening in the middle, is designed to store a secret copy of the car keys inside.

To accomplish this, it relies on a unique radio signal which can only be transmitted when the key is within a certain distance of the vehicle. A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic signal into a mechanical one once the signal is detected. This causes a rod to operate the car door locks, the same way an actual key would.

There are many possible causes for an Peugeot keyfob that is not locking or unlocking your vehicle. The most frequent cause is a dead battery. It can be fixed in minutes. Other reasons include worn buttons, water damage or signal interference, or a damaged electronic chip.

Modern vehicles require a high level of precision to operate and the key fob isn't in any way immune to this. The key fob may be programmed incorrectly, or may have a hardware issue that prevents it from responding to signals from the vehicle. A certified locksmith can reprogram your key fob to ensure it is compatible with the vehicle.

Immobiliser

Peugeot were among the first car makers to include an immobiliser chip in the key. This stops the vehicle from starting if it detects an untrue signal being sent from the key to the car. This is great in the beginning, but over time the chips wear out and cause problems. This typically starts with an alert that reads 'anti theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light lit up stating 'immobiliser fault'.

Peugeot dealerships are usually called to design and program replacement keys. However, a professional mobile locksmith is equipped with dealer-standard tools in their van, which means they are able to be with you and creating new Peugeot keys at the side of the road or at home more quickly than dealerships would be able to.

Peugeot keys usually start to malfunction when the key blade wears out. This wear could cause the mouth of the key to get into the lock in a correct manner, leading to further wear on the locks. The issue can be addressed by changing the blade. It can also be beneficial to have the teeth on the key cleaned to allow them to perform more smoothly. Only a professional auto locksmith is able to do this, but it can save you lots of time and money in the end.
