Keyless Entry

Along with opening and locking your car doors, certain key fobs also have the capability to start the engine. This is useful when you have to leave the vehicle on hot days, or if you're carrying heavy objects in the boot that make it difficult for you to open the door manually. Press the unlock button on your key fob a few times to unlock the vehicle. The door locks should unlock and the red LED light should begin to flash. If not it means that the battery inside the key fob could be dead and requires replacement. Alternatively, RF interference from nearby buildings may interfere with your system.

Another nifty feature is that some key fobs come with a physical key that can be used to unlock the car (often only for the driver's door, but sometimes, they can also be used for the boot). You can open them by lifting a flap or pressing a button. The physical key may then be removed from an opening in the case to access the lock.

Key fobs are susceptible to being damaged by water, particularly if the chips inside them are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some cases the chip that is damaged could cause key fobs to stop working. If this happens the key fob needs to be replaced - typically by the dealer. Locksmiths can provide replacement keys faster and at a lesser cost than dealerships.

Remote Start

If your key fob is equipped with the remote start feature, it will let you turn on the engine without having to have your car keys on hands. This is especially useful when it's hot outside and you want to cool your car while running some errands. There are a few things you should know prior to using this feature.

Some key fobs have a separate remote engine start button (for instance, Ford's key fob has an arrow that is circular and going clockwise) that you need to press to remotely start your car. Mazdas, for instance, require you to first lock the key and then press the Start button.

You may have an insufficient or dead battery in your key fob, if you are unable to start the car. This is due to the fact that the key fob's batteries are no longer able to send an energizing signal to the car's system.

If this is the situation, you'll need to replace the batteries on the key fob or attempt changing the program. This process differs from vehicle to vehicle, but you can typically follow the steps in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are also equipped to assist you in this procedure. We have the specialist tools needed to cut and program the replacement Peugeot keys at office, home or when you're stuck by the roadside.

Door Locks

The Peugeot 3008 remote key system enables the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle by pressing of a button on the key fob. This key fob, unlike the standard key that has a physical hole, stores a secret copy of the car keys inside.

It does this by utilizing an electronic signal that is only transmitted if the key is within a certain distance from the car. A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic command to an actual mechanical one after the signal has been detected. This is when a rod turns to operate the car door locks just as the physical key would.

If you notice that a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the car, there are several possible causes. The most frequent cause is an unresponsive battery. It is easily replaced in minutes. Other causes include worn buttons, water damage, signal interference or a damaged electronic chip.

Modern cars require a very precise level of precision to operate, and the key fob isn't in any way immune to this. The key fob could be programmed incorrectly, or have a hardware issue that prevents it from receiving a signal from the vehicle. A licensed locksmith can reprogram your key fob to make sure it is compatible with your vehicle.


Immobiliser

Peugeot were one of the first car makers to implement an immobiliser device in a key. The immobiliser chip stops the car from starting if it detects an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. When new this is great, but as they age the chips will wear out and begin to cause problems. It usually happens when you notice an alert on your dashboard that reads 'anti theft system active' or a warning lamp that reads "immobiliser failure".

Typically Peugeot dealerships are called to create and program replacement keys. A mobile locksmith will utilize dealer-standard equipment on their van. This means that they can make new Peugeot keys at your home or by the roadside quicker than a dealership.

Generally Peugeot keys begin to experience issues when the blade of the key wears out. This wear could cause the mouth of the key not to fit into the lock correctly, which can cause further wear on the locks. Sometimes, just swapping a new blade helps to resolve the problem. It may also be helpful to have the teeth of the key replaced so they work more smoothly. Only a qualified auto locksmith is able to do this, but it could save you lots of time and money in the long run.
