What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob Peugeot Key Fob is a useful feature that allows drivers to start their vehicle from the distance. This feature is useful in cold or hot weather, as it gives drivers the chance to warm the interior and engine before entering the vehicle. Car dealerships can cut and program new Peugeot keys for you, but only if you are willing to wait for weeks for them to do it. We can cut keys, program them, and then deliver new Peugeot keys much more quickly at KeyNOW. Keyless Entry Along with opening and locking your car doors, certain key fobs also have the ability to start the engine. This is useful when the vehicle has to be left in a hot weather condition or in the case that the boot is full of heavy objects that make it difficult to manually open the door. Press the unlock button on the key fob a few times quickly to start the car. The door locks should be locked and a red LED light will begin to flash. If not, the battery in your key fob could be dead and in need of replacement. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby buildings could interfere with your system. Another nifty feature is that some key fobs contain a physical key that can be used to unlock the car (often only for the door of the driver, but sometimes for the boot too). They can be opened by lifting the flap or pressing a button. The physical key may then be removed from a slot in the case to gain access to the lock. Key fobs may be damaged by water – particularly when the chips within them are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some cases chips that are damaged can cause key fobs to stop functioning. In this instance the key fob has to be replaced by the dealer. However, locksmiths often provide replacement keys faster than dealers and at a significantly lower cost. Remote Start If your key fob has the remote start feature it will allow you to turn on the engine without having to have your car keys on hands. This is especially helpful if it's hot and you need to cool your vehicle while you run the errands. However, there are a few important things to be aware of prior to making use of this feature. Some key fobs come with an engine start button that you can press to start your car remotely (for example, Ford has a circular arrow that is moving clockwise on its key fob). Mazdas, for example, require you to first lock the key and then press the Start button. There may be a weak or dead battery in your key fob, if you're not able to start your car. This is due to the fact that the batteries in the key fob aren't strong enough to send an intense signal to the car's system. If this is the case, then you'll need replace the batteries on the key fob or attempt to re-programme it. This process varies from car to car, but you should generally follow the directions in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are competent to assist you with this process. We have the expert equipment to cut and program a new Peugeot key at your home, office or even in case you're stuck at the roadside. Door Locks The Peugeot 3008 remote key system allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle with the press of a button on the key fob. This key fob, unlike the traditional key with a physical hole, stores an encrypted copy of the car keys inside. For this, it utilizes an exclusive radio signal that can only be transmitted when the key is within a specified range of the vehicle. When the signal is recognized, a solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic signal into an action mechanical. This turns a rod to control the car door locks, just like the physical key could. If you find that your Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are many possibilities of the cause. The most frequent cause is an unresponsive coin battery which can be replaced in minutes. Other reasons include worn buttons, water damage, signal interference or a defective electronic chip. The key fob of modern cars is no exception. Modern cars require an extremely high level of precision to function. The key fob might be programmed incorrectly, or may have a hardware issue that prevents it from receiving signals from the vehicle. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram the key fob to ensure that it works with your vehicle. Immobiliser Peugeot were one of the first car makers to use an immobiliser chip in a key. This stops the vehicle from starting if it sees an untrue signal coming from the key to the car. If it's new, this is great but as they age the chips wear out and start causing issues. This usually occurs when you notice an alert on your dashboard saying 'anti-theft system active or a warning lamp that says 'immobiliser failure'. Typically, Peugeot dealerships must be asked to create and program replacement keys. Mobile locksmiths use dealer-standard equipment in their van. This means that they can create new Peugeot keys at your home or at the roadside quicker than dealerships. Peugeot keys generally begin to malfunction when the blade starts to wear out. This wear can cause the mouth of the key not to be able to enter the lock properly, causing further wear on the locks. Sometimes, just swapping out G28 helps to resolve the problem. It may also be helpful to have the teeth of the key refurbished so they work more smoothly. This is something only a qualified auto locksmith can do however it can save you a lot of trouble and cost in the end.
