What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob

Peugeot Key Fob is an excellent feature that lets drivers start their car from a distance. This is useful in temperatures that are hot or cold because it allows drivers to warm up the engine and the interior before getting inside the vehicle.

Keyless Entry

Some key fobs are also able to allow you to start your car's engine. This is useful in the event that you have to leave your vehicle on hot days or if you're carrying heavy objects in the boot that make it difficult to open the door manually. To open the car using your key fob, simply press the unlock button on it several times in quick sequence. The door locks will lock and the red light will begin to flash. If it doesn't then the battery in your key fob could be dead and requires replacement. Alternately, RF interference from nearby buildings could interfere with your system.

Certain key fobs can also be equipped with a physical key that can be used to unlock your car (often for the driver's side door, but sometimes the boot too). They can typically be opened by opening the flap on the fob, or pressing a button on the case. The physical key may then be removed from the slot of the case to access the lock.

Key fobs may be damaged by water - especially in the event that the chips inside are exposed to soapy or salty water.

This is particularly useful if it's hot outside and you want to cool down your car while running errands. However, there are some important things to be aware of prior to using this feature.

Some key fobs include an engine start button that you can press to start your car remotely (for instance, Ford has a circular an arrow which is moving clockwise around its key fob). Other key fobs, like Mazda's key fob, require you to first secure the key, and then press the start button.

Door Locks

The Peugeot 3008 remote system allows you to lock or unlock your vehicle by pressing a button on your key fob. The key fob, in contrast to the traditional key with a physical hole, stores an encrypted copy of the car keys inside.

It does this by using an electronic signal that is only sent when the key is in an appropriate distance from the car. A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic signal into an actual mechanical one after the signal is detected. The rod is then turned to operate the car door locks, just as an actual key would.

If a Peugeot key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the car, there are many possible causes. The most common is a dead battery for the coin, which can be replaced within minutes. Other causes include worn buttons water damage signals interference or a malfunctioning electronic chip.

The key fob in modern cars is not an exception. Modern cars require extremely high level of precision to function. Key fobs can be improperly programmed, or suffer from a hardware defect that prevents it from responding to signals from the vehicle. A certified locksmith can reprogram your key fob to make sure it is compatible with your vehicle.

Immobiliser

Peugeot was one of the first companies to put an immobiliser inside a key. This stops the car from starting if the key sends the incorrect signal to the car. This is great when they're brand new however over time, the chips wear out and cause problems. This typically starts with an error message that says 'anti-theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light flashing with the message 'immobiliser fault'.

Peugeot dealerships are typically used to create and program replacement keys. Mobile locksmiths utilize dealer-standard equipment on their van. This means that they can design new Peugeot keys at your house or at the roadside quicker than a dealership.

Peugeot keys generally begin to fail when the blade begins to wear. The wear causes the mouth of the key to stop being able to enter the lock in a proper manner, causing more wear on the locks themselves. Sometimes, simply changing a new blade is enough to solve the issue. It can also help to have the teeth of the key repaired so that they function more efficiently. Only a licensed auto locksmith can do this, but it can save you a lot of time and cash in the long run.
