Keyless Entry

Some key fobs are also able to allow you to start your car's engine. This is helpful if the vehicle has to be left in a hot weather condition or in the case that the boot is filled with heavy objects that make it difficult to manually open the door. Press the unlock button on your key fob a few times to unlock the car. The door locks will be locked and a red light will start to flash. If not it means that the battery inside the key fob could be depleted and require replacement. Alternately, interference from RF caused by nearby buildings could disrupt your system.

Another nifty feature is that some key fobs have a hidden physical key to unlock the car (often only for the driver's side, but occasionally for the boot too). They can typically be opened by opening a flap on the fob or pressing a button on the case. The Keylab can be removed from a slot in the case, allowing access to the lock.

Water can damage key fobs, especially if the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some cases key fobs may stop working completely due an issue with the chip. In this scenario the key fob will need to be replaced by the dealer. However, locksmiths often provide replacement keys faster than dealers, and at a lesser cost.

Remote Start

If your key fob comes with the remote start feature it will let you turn on the engine without needing to have your car keys on the palm of your hand. This is especially helpful when it's hot outside and you're looking to cool down your car when you're running around. But there are a few things you need to know prior to using this feature.

Some key fobs have a specific remote engine start button (for example Ford's key fob features an arrow-shaped circular shape that runs clockwise) which you must press in order to start the car remotely. Others, like Mazda's requires that you first secure the key, and then press the start button.

There may be an insufficient or dead battery in your key fob if you're unable to start the car. The battery inside the key fob isn't as strong to send a signal to your car's system.

If this happens, either replace the batteries or re-program your key fob. The procedure is different for every car, but the instructions are usually found in the owner's manual.

Door Locks

The Peugeot 3008 remote key system enables the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle with a press of a button on the key fob. Contrary to the traditional key, which has a physical key hole this key fob is able to store an encrypted copy of the car key inside.

It does this by utilizing the radio signal which can only be sent when the key is at an appropriate distance from the car. Once the signal is spotted, a solenoid inside the door lock transforms the electronic signal into an action that is mechanical. This turns a rod to operate the door locks just as an actual key could.

There are many possible causes for the Peugeot keyfob that is not locking or unlocking your vehicle. The most common cause is a dead coin battery, which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Other reasons include worn buttons, water damage signals interference or a malfunctioning electronic chip.

The key fobs of modern vehicles isn't an exception. Modern vehicles require an extremely high level precision to function. The key fob may have been programmed incorrectly or it could have a hardware issue that makes the vehicle unable to respond to the signal generated by the key. A licensed locksmith can reprogram your key fob in order to ensure it is compatible with your vehicle.

Immobiliser

Peugeot was among the first companies to include an immobiliser on the key. This prevents the vehicle from being started if the key sends the incorrect signal to the car. This is a great feature in the beginning however over time, the chips will wear out and cause problems. This usually starts when you see a message on your dashboard that says 'anti-theft system active or a warning light which reads 'immobiliser failed'.

Typically, Peugeot dealerships are called to create and programme replacement keys. However a professional mobile locksmith has dealer-standard equipment in their van, which means they are able to be with you and generating new Peugeot keys on the roadside or at home, much faster than a dealership would be capable of.

Peugeot keys usually begin to fail when the blade wears out. This wear causes the mouth of the key to stop feeding into the lock correctly, causing more wear on the locks themselves. The issue can be solved by changing the blade. It may also be helpful to have the teeth of the keys rehabilitated so that they function more efficiently. Only a licensed auto locksmith is able to do this, but it can save you a lot of time and money in the future.
