What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob
Peugeot Key Fob is a handy feature that lets drivers start their vehicle from some distance. This feature is helpful in cold or hot conditions, as it offers motorists to warm the interior and engine before entering the vehicle.
Car dealerships can design and program new Peugeot keys for you but only if they are willing to wait for weeks to complete the process. KeyNOW can cut programs, cut, and deliver new Peugeot keys much more quickly at KeyNOW.
Keyless Entry
Some key fobs can also allow you to start your car's engine. https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/peugeot-car-keys/ is useful if you need to leave the vehicle on hot days or if you're carrying large items in the trunk which make it difficult to open the door manually. To unlock the car using your key fob, simply press the unlock button on it several times in rapid succession. The door locks should close and the red LED light should start to flash. If not then the battery in the key fob could be dead and in need of replacement. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby buildings could affect your system.
Another interesting feature is that some key fobs have a hidden physical key to unlock the car (often only for the driver's side, but sometimes for the boot too). They can be opened by lifting a flap or pressing the button. The physical key can be pulled out of the slot in the case.
Key fobs may be damaged by water, especially when the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some instances, key fobs will stop working completely due damage to the chip. If this occurs, the key fob has to be replaced, usually by the dealer. Locksmiths can supply replacement keys much faster and at a lower cost than dealerships.
Remote Start
If your key fob has the remote start feature it will let you start the engine without needing to hold the keys to your car in the palm of your hand. This is particularly useful if it's hot and you want to cool your car while you run some errands. There are a few points you need to know prior to using this feature.
Certain key fobs have an engine start button that you can press to start your vehicle remotely (for example, Ford has a circular arrow moving clockwise on its key fob). Mazdas, for instance, require you to lock the key first and then press the Start button.
If you're having trouble starting your car, you could have a weak or dead battery inside the key fob. The battery in the key fob is no longer strong enough to send a signal back to the car's system.
If this is the situation, you'll need to replace the batteries on your key fob, or try reprogramming it. This process varies from car to vehicle, but you can typically follow the steps in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians can assist with this procedure - we've got the specialist equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at your home, workplace or if you're stuck on the side of the road.
Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote 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 an opening in the middle, is designed to store an unnoticed copy of the car keys inside.

To do this, it uses a unique radio signal which can only be transmitted when the key is within a certain range of the vehicle. When the signal is detected an internal solenoid within the door lock converts the electronic signal into the mechanical action. This moves a rod that is used to operate the car door locks exactly like the turning of keys used to do.
There are a myriad of reasons for the Peugeot keyfob that isn't locking or unlocking your vehicle. The most frequent reason is the battery is dead. It is easily replaced in minutes. Other causes include worn-out buttons, signal interference or water damage or a malfunctioning chip.
The key fobs of modern automobiles is not an exception. Modern vehicles require an extremely high level precision in order to operate. The key fob could be programmed incorrectly or it could have a hardware fault that makes the vehicle unable to respond to the signal from the key. A certified locksmith can reprogram the key fob, and ensure that it works with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were among the first car makers to include an immobiliser chip in a key. This prevents the vehicle from starting when the key sends a wrong signal to the car. When new this is great, but as they age the chips wear out and begin to cause issues. This typically happens when you see a message on your dashboard that reads 'anti theft system active or a warning light that reads 'immobiliser failure'.
Peugeot dealerships are usually used to create and program replacement keys. A mobile locksmith will have standard equipment from dealers on their van. This means that they can create new Peugeot keys at your house or at the roadside quicker than dealerships.
Peugeot keys usually start to malfunction when the blade begins to wear. This wear could cause the mouth of the key not to be able to enter the lock in a proper manner, causing further wear on the locks. Sometimes, just swapping a new blade is enough to solve the issue. It can also be beneficial to have the teeth on the key cleaned to enable them to work more smoothly. This is something only a fully competent auto locksmith is able to do but it could help you avoid a lot of headache and expense in the end.
