Keyless Entry

In addition to unlocking and opening your car doors, a few key fobs also have the capability to start the engine. This is a great feature if your vehicle needs to be left in a hot weather condition or if the boot is stuffed with heavy items that make it difficult to manually open the door. To open the car using your key fob, simply press the unlock button on it a few times in quick sequence. The door locks will close and the red light will begin to flash. If this does not occur the battery for your key fob may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby buildings could affect your system.

Another neat feature is that some key fobs have a hidden physical key to unlock the car (often only for the driver's side, 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 can be removed from the slot inside the case.

Key fobs may be damaged by water particularly when the chips are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some cases the chip that is damaged could cause key fobs to stop functioning. If this happens the key fob needs to be replaced, usually by the dealer. Locksmiths can replace keys much quicker and at a lesser cost than dealerships.

Remote Start

If your key fob is equipped with the remote start feature, it will let you turn on the engine without having to hold your car keys in hands. This is especially useful when it's hot out and you're trying to cool your car while you run around. 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 press to start your car remotely (for example, Ford has a circular an arrow which is moving clockwise around its key fob). Others, such as Mazdas, require that you first lock the key and then press the start button.

It could be that you have a weak or dead battery in your key fob if you aren't able to start your [[https://minecraftcommand.science/profile/rateshape47|car]]. This is due to the fact that the batteries in the key fob aren't able anymore to send an intense signal to the car's system.

If this is the situation, you'll need to replace the batteries in your key fob, or try to re-programme it. This process varies from car to vehicle, but you can typically follow the steps in your owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are able to assist with this process as we have the specialist equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at the workplace, at home or if you're on 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. As opposed to the traditional keys that has a physical key hole, this key fob stores an encrypted copy of the car's key inside.

It does this by using a radio signal that can only be transmitted if the key is in an appropriate distance from the car. Once the signal is detected an internal solenoid within the door lock transforms the electronic command into a mechanical action. This is accomplished by moving a rod which operates the car door locks just like the turning of keys used to do.

If a [[https://willysforsale.com/author/banglenickel8/|peugeot 307 key]] key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are many possible reasons for the issue. The most frequent reason is an unresponsive battery. It can be fixed in minutes. Other reasons include worn-out buttons, signal interference, or water damage or a malfunctioning chip.

The key fob in modern cars is no exception. Modern cars require extremely high level precision to function. The key fob may be programmed incorrectly, or it could have a hardware defect that prevents the vehicle from responding to the signal from the key. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram the key fob to ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle.

Immobiliser

Peugeot was one of the first companies to include an immobiliser on a key. This stops the vehicle from starting if it sees an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. When new this is great however as they age, the chips may wear out and start to cause issues. This typically starts with an alert that reads 'anti theft system active' on the dashboard, or a warning light illuminated stating "immobiliser fault".

Usually Peugeot dealerships have to be called to create and programme [[https://willysforsale.com/author/courtjar11/|replacement key for peugeot 308]] keys. Mobile locksmiths will use dealer-standard equipment in their van. This means that they can create new Peugeot keys at home or on the roadside quicker than dealerships.

Generally Peugeot keys start to have issues when the blade of the key wears out. This wear causes the mouth of the key to stop feeding into the lock correctly, causing more wear on the locks themselves. Often simply swapping over the blade will help resolve the problem. It can also be beneficial to have the teeth of the key refurbished so they work more smoothly. This is something only a competent auto locksmith is able to do but it could help you avoid a lot of headache and expense in the end.(Image: [[https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cropped-KeyLab-1-152x69.png|https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cropped-KeyLab-1-152x69.png]])
