What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob Peugeot Key Fob is a handy feature that lets drivers start their car from an extended distance.

To start the car using your key fob, simply press the unlock button on it several times in quick intervals. The door locks should unlock and the red LED light will start to flash. If it doesn't, the battery in your key fob could be depleted and require replacement. Alternately, RF interference caused by nearby buildings could affect your system. Another neat feature is that some key fobs are equipped with a physical key to unlock the car (often only for the door of the driver, but occasionally for the boot too). They are usually accessible by opening a flap on the fob, or pressing a button on the case. The key's physical part can be removed from the slot in the case. Key fobs may be damaged by water, especially when the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In certain instances key fobs may cease working completely due a damaged chip. If this occurs, the key fob needs to be replaced, usually by the dealer. However, locksmiths often offer replacement keys much faster than a dealer, and at a lesser cost. Remote Start You can start your car and not need to have your keys in your car. This is especially useful when it's hot and you need to cool down your car while you run around. But, there are a few things you should know before making use of this feature. Some key fobs include an engine start button you can press to start your vehicle remotely (for instance, Ford has a circular arrow that moves clockwise on its key fob). Mazdas, for example require you to lock the key first and then press the Start button. If you're unable start your car, you may have a weak or dead battery in the key fob. This is because the batteries of the key fob aren't strong enough to send an energizing signal to the car's system. If this is the case, then you'll need replace the batteries on your key fob or try to re-programme it.

Door Locks The Peugeot 3008 remote system enables you to lock or unlock your car by pressing the button on your key fob. The key fob, which is different from the traditional key with a physical hole, stores an unnoticed copy of the car keys inside. In order to accomplish this, it uses a special radio signal that is only sent out when the key is within a certain range of the vehicle. A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic signal into an actual mechanical one after the signal has been spotted. This triggers a rod that is used to operate the car door locks similar to the way a key in a physical lock would do. If the Peugeot key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the car, there are many possible reasons for the issue. The most common reason is the battery is dead. It can be repaired in a matter of minutes. Other reasons include worn-out buttons, signals interference or water damage, or a faulty chip. Modern vehicles require a precise level of accuracy to operate, and the key fob isn't immune to this. The key fob may be programed incorrectly or have a hardware issue that prevents it from responding to signals from the vehicle. A certified locksmith can reprogram your key fob to ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle. Immobiliser Peugeot were among the first car makers to use an immobiliser chip in a key. This prevents the vehicle from starting if it detects an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. If it's new, this is great, but as they age the chips may wear out and start to cause issues. This usually begins with an error message that says 'anti-theft system active' on the dashboard, or a warning light flashing with the message “immobiliser fault”. Normally Peugeot dealerships need to be asked to create and program replacement keys. A mobile locksmith will have standard equipment from dealers on their van. This means that they can design new Peugeot keys at your home or by the roadside much faster than dealerships. Peugeot keys usually begin to fail 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 and causing wear on the locks themselves. The problem can be resolved by changing the blade. It can also help to have the teeth of the key repaired to ensure that they function smoothly. This is something only a trained auto locksmith can accomplish but it could help you avoid a lot of hassle and expense in the long run.
