The Top Companies Not To Be Monitor In The Peugeot 3008 Key Fob Industry
What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob
Peugeot Key Fob lets drivers start the car from afar. This feature is beneficial in hot or cold weather, as it allows drivers to warm the interior and engine before entering the vehicle.
Dealerships can program and create new Peugeot keys, but only if they are able to do so. We can cut keys, program them, and then deliver new Peugeot keys faster with KeyNOW.
Keyless Entry
Some key fobs are also able to start the engine of your car. This is useful in the event that you need to leave the vehicle during hot weather, or if you're carrying large items in the boot that make it difficult to open the door manually. Press The Keylab on your key fob a several times quickly to begin the vehicle. The door locks will close and the red light will begin to flash. If this does not happen then your key fob battery may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately, the RF interference created by nearby buildings could interfere with your system.
Another nifty feature is that certain key fobs contain a physical key to unlock the car (often only for the driver's door but sometimes for the boot too). You can open them by lifting the flap or pressing the button. The physical key may then be removed from an opening in the case to access the lock.
Water can cause damage to key fobs particularly if the chips are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some instances a chip that has been damaged can cause key fobs to cease working. In this case the key fob needs to be replaced by the dealer. However, locksmiths can often provide replacement keys quicker than dealers, and at a significantly lower cost.
Remote Start
If your key fob is equipped with the remote start feature it can turn on the engine without needing to have your car keys on hands. This is especially helpful if it's hot and you want to cool down your car while running errands. There are some things you must be aware of before you use this feature.
Some key fobs have a dedicated remote engine start button (for instance, Ford's key fob has an arrow that is circular and going clockwise) which you must press in order to remotely start your car. Other key fobs, like Mazda's keys, require you to secure the key, and then press the start button.
There may be a dead or weak battery in your key fob, if you aren't able to start your car. The battery inside the key fob is no longer strong enough to send a signal to your car's system.
If this is the scenario, you'll have to replace the batteries on your key fob or try reprogramming it. The procedure is different for each vehicle, however the instructions are usually found in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are also capable of helping you with this process. We have the specialist equipment needed to cut and program a new Peugeot key at office, home or when you're stuck on 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. The key fob, in contrast to the traditional key with an actual hole, can store an unnoticed copy of the car keys inside.
It does this by using an electronic signal that can only be sent when the key is at a certain distance from the car. When the signal is detected an internal solenoid within the door lock translates the electronic command into an action mechanical. This turns a rod to control the car door locks just as keys on a real key could.
If a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the car, there are many possible reasons for the issue. The most common is an unresponsive coin battery which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Other reasons include worn buttons, water damage, signal interference or a malfunctioning electronic chip.
The key fob in modern vehicles isn't an exception. Modern vehicles require an extremely high level precision to function. The key fob may be programmed incorrectly, or may have a hardware issue that prevents it from receiving signals from the vehicle. A certified locksmith can reprogramme your key fob in order to ensure it is compatible with the vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were among the first car manufacturers to include an immobiliser chip in the key. This stops the vehicle from starting if it sees an error in the signal sent from the key to the car. If it's new, this is great but as they age the chips can get worn out and begin to cause issues. This usually starts when you see an alert on your dashboard stating 'anti-theft system active or a warning lamp which reads 'immobiliser failed'.
Peugeot dealerships are usually used to create and program replacement keys. However, a professional mobile locksmith is equipped with dealer-standard equipment in their van, which means they are able to be with you and creating new Peugeot keys by the roadside or at home more quickly than dealerships would be able to.
Generally Peugeot keys begin to exhibit problems because the key blade wears out. This wear causes the mouth part of the key to stop being able to enter the lock in a proper manner which causes more wear on the locks themselves. Sometimes, just swapping a new blade can help resolve the problem. It could also be beneficial to have the teeth of the key replaced in order to make them perform more smoothly. This is something only a qualified auto locksmith can do however it can reduce the hassle and expense in the end.
