Keyless Entry Along with opening and locking your car doors, a few key fobs also have the ability to start the engine. This is useful if the vehicle needs to be left on a hot day, or when the trunk is filled with heavy objects that make it difficult to open the door. To start the car using your key fob, press the unlock button on it several times in quick sequence. The door locks will close and a red light will start to flash. If not then the battery in your key fob might be dead and requires replacement. Alternately, the RF interference created by nearby structures could interfere with your system. The Key Lab have a physical key that can be used to unlock your car (often for the driver's side door, but occasionally the boot as well). You can access them by lifting a flap or pressing a button. The physical key can then be removed from the slot in the case. Key fobs may be damaged by water particularly if the chips are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some instances, key fobs will cease to function completely due to damage to the chip. If this occurs, the key fob will have to be replaced – usually by the dealer. Locksmiths can supply replacement keys much more quickly and at a lesser cost than dealerships. Remote Start If your key fob has the remote start feature, it will let you turn on the engine without needing to have your car keys on the palm of your hand. This is particularly helpful in hot weather and you want to cool down your car while running on errands. But, there are a few things you should know before using this feature. Some key fobs come with a remote engine start button that you can use to start your car remotely (for example, Ford has a circular an arrow which is moving clockwise around its key fob). Mazdas, for example require you to first lock the key and then press the Start button. If you're having trouble starting your car, you could have a dead or weak battery inside the key fob. This is because the key fob's batteries aren't strong enough to send an energizing signal to the car's system. If this happens, either replace the batteries or reprogram your key fob. 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 process – we've got the specialist equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at your workplace, home, or if you're stuck on the side of the road. Door Locks The Peugeot 3008 remote key system enables the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle by pressing of a button on the key fob. In contrast to the traditional key which has a physical key hole this key fob is able to store an electronic replica of the car key inside. To accomplish this, it uses a unique radio signal which is only transmitted when the key is within a specific range of the vehicle. When the signal is detected, a solenoid inside the door lock transforms the electronic command into an action mechanical. The rod is then turned to operate the car door locks just as keys on a real key would. If a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the car, there are several possibilities of the cause. The most common is a dead battery for the coin, which is easily replaced in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn-out buttons, water damage or signal interference or a defective chip. The key fob of modern cars is no exception. Modern cars require an extremely high level of precision in order to operate. The key fob may be programmed incorrectly, or have a hardware defect that prevents it from receiving signals from the vehicle. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram the key fob and ensure that it works with your vehicle. Immobiliser Peugeot were one of the first car manufacturers to include an immobiliser chip in a key. The immobiliser chip stops the car from starting if it detects an error in the signal sent from the key to the car. This is a great feature when they're brand new but as time passes, the chips wear out and cause problems. This usually occurs when you see an alert on your dashboard that reads 'anti theft system active' or a warning lamp which reads 'immobiliser failed'. Peugeot dealerships are usually used to design and program replacement keys. However, a professional locksmith has dealer-standard equipment in their van, meaning they can be with you and creating new Peugeot keys at the roadside or at home, much faster than a dealership would be able to. Generally Peugeot keys start to show issues when the blade of the key wears out. The wear causes the mouth of the key to stop from feeding into the lock properly and causing wear on the locks themselves. The problem can be resolved by simply changing the blade. It can also help to have the teeth of the key repaired to make them more efficient. Only a licensed auto locksmith can do this, but it can save you a lot of time and cash in the long run.
