Keyless Entry
In addition to unlocking and opening your car doors, some key fobs also have the ability to start the engine. This can be useful if you have to leave your vehicle during the heat of summer, or if you're carrying large items in the boot that make it difficult for you to open the door manually. Press the unlock button on your key fob several times quickly to begin the car. The door locks will be locked and the red light will begin to flash. If not it means that the battery inside your key fob may be dead and need replacing. Alternately, the RF interference created by nearby buildings could interfere with your system.
Another neat feature is that certain key fobs have a hidden physical key to unlock the car (often only for the door of the driver, but sometimes, they can also be used for the boot). You can open them by lifting a flap or pressing the button. The key's physical part can be removed from the slot of the case to access the lock.
Water can damage key fobs particularly when the chips are exposed to soapy or salty water. In G28 can cease working completely due an issue with the chip. In this case the key fob has to be replaced by the dealer. Locksmiths are able to replace keys much quicker and at lower costs than dealerships.
Remote Start
If your key fob includes the remote start feature, it will allow you to start the engine without needing to have your car keys in the palm of your hand. This is particularly useful when it's hot outside and you're looking to cool down your car while running on errands. There are a few things you must know before you use this feature.
Some key fobs feature a specific remote engine start button (for example Ford's keyfob has an arrow in a circle that goes clockwise) that you need to press to remotely start your car. Mazdas, for example require you to lock the key first and then press the Start button.
It could be that you have a weak or dead battery in your key fob, if you are unable to start the car. The battery of the key fob isn't as strong to send a signal back to the car system.
If this is the case, you'll need to replace the batteries in the key fob or attempt reprogramming it. This process varies from car to car, but you can usually follow the instructions in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians can also help with this process as we have the specialist equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at your place of work, home or even if you're stuck at the side of the road.
Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote key system enables the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle at the touch of a button on the key fob. The key fob, which is different from the traditional key with an opening in the middle, is designed to store an encrypted copy of the car keys inside.
To do this, it employs a special radio signal that is only sent out when the key is within a certain range of the vehicle. When the signal is recognized, a solenoid inside the door lock transforms the electronic signal into an action that is mechanical. This moves a rod that opens the door lock just like the turning of a key in a physical lock would do.
If you notice that a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are a variety of possible reasons for the issue. Most likely is a dead coin battery, which can be replaced within minutes. Other reasons include worn buttons, water damage or signal interference, or a damaged electronic chip.
Modern vehicles require a high degree of precision in order to function, and the key fob is not immune to this. The key fob could be programmed incorrectly, or may have a hardware issue that prevents it from receiving signals from the vehicle. A locksmith who is certified can reprogram the key fob and ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot was among the first companies to include an immobiliser on the key. This prevents the vehicle from starting if it detects an untrue signal being sent from the key to the car. When it's brand new, this is fantastic however, as they age the chips will wear out and start to cause problems. This typically happens when you notice a message on your dashboard saying 'anti-theft system active or a warning light that reads "immobiliser failure".
Typically, Peugeot dealerships have to be called in to design and program replacement keys. Mobile locksmiths have standard equipment from dealers on their van. This means they can make new Peugeot keys at your house or on the roadside quicker than a dealership.
Peugeot keys typically begin to fail when the blade starts to wear out. The wear causes the mouth part of the key to stop being able to enter the lock in a proper manner, causing more wear on the locks themselves. Often simply swapping over a new blade helps to solve the issue. It is also possible to have the teeth of the key repaired to make them more efficient. This is something only a competent auto locksmith is able to do, but it can save you a lot of frustration and money in the long term.
