Keyless Entry

As well as unlocking and opening your car doors, certain key fobs also have the ability to start the engine. This is useful when the vehicle has to be left in a hot weather condition or if the boot is full of heavy items that make it difficult to open the door. Press the unlock button on your key fob couple of times to open the car. The door locks will lock and a red light will start to flash. If this does not happen then your key fob battery may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately, interference from RF caused by nearby structures could interfere with your system.

Another neat feature is that some key fobs have a hidden physical key to unlock the car (often only for the driver's door, but occasionally for the boot too). You can access them by lifting the flap or pressing the button. The key's physical part can be pulled out of the slot in the case.

Key fobs can get damaged by water - especially in the event that the chips inside are exposed to soapy or salty water. In certain instances the chip that is damaged could cause key fobs to stop functioning. In this instance the key fob needs to be replaced by the dealer. However, locksmiths may offer replacement keys much faster than a dealer, and at a much lower cost.

Remote Start

You can start your car without having to carry your keys on you. This is especially useful when it's hot outside and you want to cool down your car while you run around. There are a few things you should know before you can use this feature.

Some key fobs feature a specific remote engine start button (for example Ford's keyfob has an arrow-shaped circular shape that runs clockwise) which you must press in order to remotely start your car. Others, such as Mazdas keys, require you to secure the key, and then press the start button.

If you're not able to start your car, you may have a weak or dead battery in the key fob. The battery of the key fob isn't strong enough to transmit a signal to the car's system.

If this happens, either replace the batteries, or re-program your key fob. This process differs from vehicle to vehicle, but you can usually follow the instructions in your owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are also equipped to assist you in this process.

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 standard key that has a physical hole, stores a secret copy of the car keys inside.

It does this by using the radio signal, which can only be sent when the key is in some distance from the car. Once the signal is detected by a solenoid, the door lock transforms the electronic signal into a mechanical action. The rod is then turned to operate the door locks, just as the physical key would.

If the Peugeot key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are many possibilities of the cause. The most common is an unresponsive coin battery which can be replaced within minutes. Other reasons include worn-out buttons, signal interference or water damage or a malfunctioning chip.

Modern cars require a very high level of precision in order to function and the key fob isn't in any way immune to this. The key fob may be programmed incorrectly, or may have a hardware defect that prevents it from receiving a signal from the vehicle. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram your key fob in order to ensure it is compatible with your vehicle.

Immobiliser

Peugeot were among the first car manufacturers to incorporate an immobiliser chip in a key. This stops the vehicle from starting if it detects an untrue signal coming from the key to the car. This is a great feature when they're brand new, but over time the chips will get worn out and cause issues. This typically starts with an error message that says 'anti-theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light is blinking indicating 'immobiliser fault'.

Typically, Peugeot dealerships have to be asked to create and program replacement keys. However, a professional locksmith is equipped with dealer-standard equipment in their van, meaning they can be there and generating new Peugeot keys at the side of the road or at your home faster than a dealership would be able to.

Peugeot keys usually begin to malfunction when the key blade begins to wear. The wear causes the mouth part of the key to stop being able to enter the lock in a proper manner which causes more wear on the locks themselves. The issue can be fixed by changing the blade. It can also help to have the teeth of the keys rehabilitated to ensure that they function smoothly. Only a certified auto locksmith is able to do this, but it can save you a lot of time and cash in the long run.
