What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob
Peugeot Key Fob is a convenient feature that lets drivers start their car from the distance. This feature is useful in hot or cold weather, as it gives drivers to warm the interior and engine before entering the vehicle.
Dealerships are able to program and create new Peugeot keys, but only if they have the time. KeyNOW can cut and program, then deliver new Peugeot keys faster with KeyNOW.
Keyless Entry
As well as unlocking and opening your car doors, some key fobs can also be used to start the engine. This is useful when the vehicle needs to be left in a hot weather condition or when the trunk is full of heavy objects that make it difficult to open the door. To start the car with your key fob, press the unlock button on it a few times in quick intervals. The door locks should be locked and the red LED light should start to flash. If it doesn't it means that the battery inside your key fob could be dead and requires replacement. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby buildings could disrupt your system.
Some key fobs have an actual key that can be used to unlock your vehicle (often for the driver's side door, but occasionally the boot too). You can access them by lifting a flap or pressing the button. The key's physical form can be removed from the slot inside the case to access the lock.
Water can damage key fobs particularly when the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some cases a chip that has been damaged could cause key fobs to cease working. In this scenario the key fob has to be replaced by the dealer. Locksmiths are able to replace keys much faster and at a lesser cost than dealerships.
Remote Start
If your key fob has the remote start feature, it will allow you to turn on the engine without needing to have your car keys in hands. This is especially helpful when it's hot and you want to cool down your car while running on errands. However, there are a few things you should know before using this feature.
Certain key fobs have a separate 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. Others, like Mazda's, require that you first secure the key, and then press the start button.
If you're unable to start your car, you might have a weak or dead battery in the key fob. This is because the batteries in the key fob are no longer able to send a strong signal to the car's system.
If this is the scenario, you'll have to replace the batteries on your key fob or try changing the program. The procedure varies for each car, but the instructions are usually in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are capable of helping you with this procedure. We have the specialist equipment needed to cut and program a new Peugeot key at workplace, at home, or when you're stuck by the roadside.
Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote key system allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle by pressing of a button on the key fob. This key fob, unlike the standard key that has an actual hole, can store a hidden copy of the car keys inside.
To accomplish this, it uses a special radio signal that is only sent when the key is within a specific range of the vehicle. A solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic command to a mechanical one once the signal is detected. The rod is then moved to is used to operate the car door locks similar to the way a physical key used to do.
If you find that your Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the car, there are many possible causes. Most likely is a dead battery for the coin, which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn-out buttons water damage or signal interference or a defective chip.

A licensed locksmith can reprogram the key fob, and ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle.
g28carkeys.co.uk was one of the first companies to include an immobiliser inside the key. The chip prevents the car from starting if it detects an untrue signal coming from the key to the car. This is great in the beginning however over time, the chips will get worn out and cause issues. It usually starts with an alert that reads 'anti theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light illuminated stating 'immobiliser fault'.
Peugeot dealerships are usually used to design and program replacement keys.
