Keyless Entry
Some key fobs can also start your car's engine.

To start the car using your key fob, press the unlock button a few times in quick intervals. The door locks will close and the red light will begin to flash. If it doesn't then the battery in your key fob might be dead and in need of replacement. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby structures could interfere with your system.
Some key fobs have physical keys that can be used to open your vehicle (often for the driver's side door, but sometimes the boot as well). They can typically be opened by flipping up an opening on the fob, or a button on the case. The key's physical part can slide out of the slot of the case, allowing access to the lock.
Key fobs may be damaged by water particularly if the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some cases key fobs may cease working completely due an issue with the chip.

Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote system allows you to lock or unlock your vehicle by pressing the button on your key fob. This key fob, unlike the standard key that has an actual hole, can store an unnoticed copy of the car keys inside.
To accomplish this, it relies on the use of a specific radio signal that is only sent when the key is within a specific range of the car. A solenoid inside the door lock transforms the electronic command into a mechanical one once the signal has been detected. This is when a rod turns to control the car door locks, just as keys on a real key would.
There are several possible causes for an Peugeot keyfob that is not locking or unlocking your car. The most common cause is the battery of the coin is dead, which is easily replaced in a matter of minutes. Other reasons include worn-out buttons, water damage or signal interference, or a faulty chip.
The key fob on modern cars is no exception. Modern vehicles require an extremely high level of precision in order to operate. The key fob may have been programmed incorrectly, or it could have a hardware issue that prevents the vehicle from responding to the signal from the key. A locksmith who is certified can reprogram the key fob to ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were among the first car makers to implement an immobiliser device in a key. This prevents the vehicle from starting if it detects an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. This is great when they are new however, over time, the chips may 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 that reads 'immobiliser failure'.
Peugeot dealerships are usually used to create and program replacement keys. Mobile locksmiths will have standard equipment from dealers on their van. This means that they can design new Peugeot keys at your home or by the roadside much faster than dealers.
Generally Peugeot keys start to have problems when the blade wears out. This wear causes the mouth of the key to stop feeding into the lock correctly and causing wear on the locks themselves. Sometimes, simply changing the blade will help solve the issue. It may also be helpful to have the teeth of the keys rehabilitated to make them more efficient. This is something only a fully competent auto locksmith is able to do, but it can save you lots of headache and expense in the long run.
