Keyless Entry
Along with unlocking and opening your car doors, some key fobs can also be used to start the engine. This is helpful if the vehicle has to be left on a hot day or in the case that the boot is filled with heavy objects that make it difficult to open the door. To open the car using your key fob, press the unlock button on it several times in rapid intervals. The door locks should close and the red LED light will start to flash. If this does not happen then your key fob battery may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby structures could interfere with your system.
Another neat feature is that certain key fobs come with a physical key that can be used 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 physical key can then be removed from the slot inside the case.

Locksmiths can provide replacement keys much more quickly and at a lower price than dealerships.
Remote Start
If your key fob is equipped with the remote start feature, it can start the engine without having to hold your car keys in hands. This is particularly helpful when it's hot and you need to cool your vehicle while running the errands. But, there are a few things you need to know prior to using this feature.
Some key fobs have an exclusive remote engine start button (for instance Ford's key fob features a circular arrow going clockwise) that you need to press to start the car remotely. Mazdas, for instance require you to lock the key first and then press the Start button.
There may be an insufficient or dead battery in your key fob if you're not able to start the car. This is due to the fact that the batteries in the key fob aren't able to send an intense signal to the car's system.
If this is the scenario, you'll have to replace the batteries on your key fob, or try to re-programme it. The procedure for this differs from car to car, but you can usually follow the instructions in your owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are also able to assist you with this process as we have the specialist equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at your place of work, home or if you're on the side of the road.
Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote allows you to lock or unlock your car by pressing the button on your key fob. This key fob, unlike the standard key that has an actual hole, can store an unnoticed copy of the car keys inside.
In order to accomplish this, it relies on an exclusive radio signal that is only sent when the key is within a certain range of the car. A solenoid in the door lock transforms the electronic command into a mechanical one once the signal has been spotted. This causes a rod to operate the door locks, the same way the physical key would.
There are several possible causes for an Peugeot keyfob that's not locking or unlocking your car. The most frequent cause is the battery is dead. This is easily replaced in minutes. Other causes include worn buttons water damage signals interference or a faulty electronic chip.
Modern vehicles require a precise level of precision for operation and the key fob is not in any way immune to this. The key fob could have been programmed incorrectly or it could have a hardware fault that hinders the vehicle from responding to the signal generated by the key. A certified locksmith can reprogramme your key fob to ensure it is compatible with the vehicle.

Immobiliser
Peugeot was among the first companies to include an immobiliser on the key. The immobiliser chip stops the car from starting if it sees an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. This is great when they are new however over time, the chips can get worn out and cause issues. This usually starts with getting an error message that says 'anti-theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light flashing with the message 'immobiliser fault'.
Typically, Peugeot dealerships have to be called in to design and program replacement keys. However a professional mobile locksmith comes with dealer-standard equipment inside their van, which means they can be with you and creating new Peugeot keys by the roadside or at your home faster than a dealership would be capable of.
Generally Peugeot keys begin to experience problems because the key blade wears out. This wear can cause the mouth of the key to be able to enter the lock properly, causing further wear on the locks. Sometimes, just swapping out a new blade is enough to solve the issue. It is also possible to have the teeth of the key repaired in order to make them operate more efficiently. This is something only a certified auto locksmith can do but it could save you lots of hassle and expense in the long run.
