What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob

Peugeot Key Fob lets drivers start the car from a distance. This feature is beneficial in hot or cold conditions, since it gives drivers the opportunity to warm up their engine and interior before entering the vehicle.

Dealerships can program new Peugeot keys but only if they are able to do so. We can cut keys, program them, and then deliver new Peugeot keys faster with KeyNOW.

Keyless Entry

In addition to opening and locking your car doors, certain key fobs also have the ability to start the engine. This is useful in the event that you need to leave the vehicle on hot days or if you're carrying heavy items in the boot that make it difficult for you to open the door manually. Press the unlock button on your key fob few times to unlock the vehicle. The door locks will lock and a red light will start to flash. If it doesn't, the battery in your key fob might be depleted and require replacement. Alternately, RF interference caused by nearby buildings could disrupt your system.

Certain key fobs can also be equipped with a physical key that can be used to open your vehicle (often for the driver's side door, but occasionally the boot too). You can access them by lifting a flap or pressing the button. The key's physical part can be removed from the slot inside the case, allowing access to the lock.

Key fobs may be damaged by water, especially if the chips are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some cases keys will stop working completely due a damaged chip. If this occurs the key fob will need to be replaced - usually by the dealer. Locksmiths can provide replacement keys much more quickly and at lower costs than dealerships.

Remote Start

You can start your car without needing to have your keys on you. This is especially helpful when it's hot out and you want to cool your car while you run around. There are a few things you must know before you use this feature.

Some key fobs include an engine start button you can press to start your car remotely (for instance, Ford has a circular arrow that moves clockwise on its key fob). Mazdas, for instance require you to lock the key first and then press the Start button.

There may be a weak or dead battery in your key fob, if you're unable to start the car. This is because the batteries of the key fob aren't strong enough to send a strong signal to the car's system.

If this happens, you'll need to either replace the batteries, or re-program your key fob. The procedure for this differs from car to car, but you should usually follow the instructions in your owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are capable of helping you with this process. We have the specialist equipment required to cut and program the replacement Peugeot key at your office, home or even when you're stuck on the roadside.

Door Locks

The Peugeot 3008 remote system enables you to lock or unlock your vehicle by pressing the button on your key fob. In contrast to the traditional key which has a physical key hole the key fob has an encrypted copy of the car keys inside.

It does this by utilizing the radio signal which can only be transmitted when the key is within a certain distance from the car. A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic command to a mechanical one once the signal has been spotted. This is when a rod turns to control the car door locks, the same way keys on a real key could.

If a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the car, there are several possibilities of the cause. Most likely is an unresponsive coin battery which is easily replaced in a matter of minutes. Other causes are worn buttons, water damage, signal interference or a damaged electronic chip.

Modern cars require a very precise level of precision in order to function and the key fob is not in any way immune to this. The key fob may have been programmed incorrectly or it may have a hardware fault that hinders the vehicle from responding to the signal from the key.  The KeyLab  certified locksmith can reprogram the key fob and ensure that it works with your vehicle.

Immobiliser

Peugeot was one of the first manufacturers to install an immobiliser on a key. This prevents the vehicle from starting if it sees an untrue signal coming from the key to the car. This is great when they're new however over time, the chips get worn out and cause issues. This usually occurs when you notice a message on your dashboard that reads 'anti theft system active or a warning lamp that reads "immobiliser failure".

Peugeot dealerships are typically used to create and program replacement keys. Mobile locksmiths will utilize dealer-standard equipment on their van. This means they can create new Peugeot keys at home or on the roadside faster than a dealership.

Generally Peugeot keys start to show issues as the key blade wears out. This 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. Sometimes, simply changing a new blade is enough to resolve the problem. It is also possible to have the teeth of the key replaced in order to make them operate more efficiently. This is something only a fully competent auto locksmith is able to do but it could save you lots of trouble and cost in the end.
