They can be opened by lifting a flap or pressing a button. The physical key can be slid out of the slot inside the case. Key fobs can be damaged by water, especially when the chips within them are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some cases, key fobs will stop working completely due to a damaged chip.

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. In contrast to the traditional key which has a physical key hole this key fob is able to store an encrypted copy of the car keys inside. It does this by utilizing an electronic signal that can only be sent when the key is within some distance from the car. When the signal is recognized an internal solenoid within the door lock translates the electronic command into a mechanical action. This causes a rod to turn the car door locks, just as the physical key would. If a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the car, there are many possible causes of the problem. The KeyLab is a dead coin battery, which can be replaced within minutes. Other causes include worn buttons water damage, signal interference or a faulty electronic chip.

The key fob might be programmed incorrectly, or have a hardware issue that prevents it from responding to a signal from the vehicle.

Immobiliser Peugeot were one of the first car makers to include an immobiliser chip in the key. The chip prevents the car from starting if it sees an untrue signal being sent from the key to the car. When it's brand new, this is fantastic, but as they age the chips can get worn out and start causing problems. This typically happens when you see an alert on your dashboard stating 'anti-theft system active or a warning light which reads 'immobiliser failed'. Peugeot dealerships are usually used to create and program replacement keys. However, a professional mobile locksmith has dealer-standard equipment in their van, meaning they are able to be with you and generating new Peugeot keys by the roadside or at home more quickly than dealers would be able to.

Sometimes, just swapping out the blade will help resolve the problem. It can also help to have the teeth of the key refurbished to ensure that they function smoothly. This is something only a competent auto locksmith is able to do, but it can save you lots of headache and expense in the end.
