Door Locks

The Peugeot 3008 remote system allows you to lock or unlock your vehicle by pressing the button on your key fob. The key fob, which is different from the traditional key with a physical hole, stores a secret copy of the car keys inside.

To do this, it uses the use of a specific radio signal that is only sent out when the key is within a certain range of the car. Once the signal is spotted an internal solenoid within the door lock translates the electronic command into an action that is mechanical. This is when a rod turns to turn the car door locks, just as the physical key would.

If you find that your Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are many possibilities of the cause. The most frequent cause is a dead battery.

Immobiliser

Only a licensed auto locksmith is able to do this, but it will save you a lot of time and cash in the long run.
