What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob Peugeot Key Fob allows drivers to start the car from a distance. This feature is beneficial in cold or hot weather, as it allows drivers the chance to warm their vehicle's engine and interior before entering the vehicle. Car dealerships can cut and program new Peugeot keys for you, but only if you are willing to wait weeks for them to do it. We can cut keys, program them, and then deliver new Peugeot keys much faster at KeyNOW. Keyless Entry In addition to unlocking and opening your car doors, certain key fobs can also be used to start the engine. This is useful when the vehicle needs to be parked in a hot weather condition or in the case that the boot is filled with heavy objects that make it difficult to manually open the door. To unlock the car using your key fob, press the unlock button a few times in quick sequence. The door locks will lock and a red light will start to flash. If it doesn't then the battery in your key fob could be dead and need replacing. In addition, RF interference from nearby buildings could disrupt your system. Another nifty feature is that certain key fobs have a hidden physical key that can be used to unlock the car (often only for the driver's door but sometimes also for the boot). They are usually accessible by flipping up the flap on the fob or pressing a button on the case. The physical key may then slide out of an opening in the case, allowing access to the lock. Key fobs can be damaged by water, especially if the chips are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some instances, a chip that is damaged can cause key fobs to stop functioning. In this scenario the key fob will need to be replaced by the dealer. Locksmiths can supply replacement keys much faster and at lower costs than dealerships. Remote Start If your key fob has the remote start feature it can start the engine without having to have your car keys on hand. This is particularly useful if it's hot and you want to cool your car while running errands. However, there are some things you should know before using this feature. Certain key fobs come with a dedicated remote engine start button (for example Ford's key fob features a circular arrow going clockwise) that you need to press to remotely start your car. Other key fobs, like Mazda's requires that you first secure the key, and then press the start button. If you're unable to start your car, it could be that you have a dead or weak battery inside the key fob. The battery in the key fob isn't as strong to send a signal to your car's system. If this is the case, you'll need to replace the batteries on your key fob or try changing the program. This process differs from vehicle to vehicle, but you can generally follow the directions in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians can help with this process as we have the specialist equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at your home, workplace or if you're at the side of the road. Door Locks The Peugeot 3008 remote system allows you to lock or unlock your car by pressing a button on your key fob. Unlike the traditional key that has a key hole that is physical the key fob has a hidden electronic copy of the car keys inside. It does this by utilizing the radio signal, which is only transmitted if the key is in an appropriate distance from the car. A solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic command to a mechanical one once the signal is detected. The rod is then turned to turn the car door locks, just like a physical key could. If The KeyLab notice that a Peugeot key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are a variety of possible causes of the problem. Most likely is the battery of the coin is dead, which is easily replaced in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn buttons water damage signals interference or a faulty electronic chip. Modern cars require a very precise level of precision to operate, and the key fob isn't in any way immune to this. The key fob could be programmed incorrectly, or may have an issue with the hardware that prevents it from receiving signals from the vehicle. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram the key fob and make sure that it is compatible with your vehicle. Immobiliser Peugeot was one of the first companies to include an immobiliser into a key. This prevents the car from being started when the key sends a wrong signal to the car. In the beginning, this is great however, as they age the chips may wear out and begin to cause problems. This typically happens when you see a message on your dashboard saying 'anti-theft system active or a warning lamp that says 'immobiliser failure'. Typically Peugeot dealerships are called in to design and program replacement keys. However, a professional locksmith is equipped with dealer-standard equipment in their van, which means they are able to be with you and creating new Peugeot keys at the roadside or at home much quicker than dealerships would be able to. Peugeot keys typically begin to fail when the key blade begins to wear. This wear can cause the mouth of the key to get into the lock in a correct manner, leading to further wear on the locks. Sometimes, just swapping a new blade is enough to resolve the problem. It can also be beneficial to have the teeth of the key replaced in order to make them operate more efficiently. Only a professional auto locksmith is able to do this, however it will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
