Keyless Entry
Along with opening and locking your car doors, some key fobs are also able to start the engine. This is helpful if the vehicle needs to be left in a hot weather condition or when the trunk is filled with heavy objects that make it difficult to open the door. To open the car using your key fob, press the unlock button on it several times in rapid sequence. The door locks should lock and the red LED light will begin to flash. If this does not occur the battery in your key fob could be dead and requires to be replaced. Alternately, RF interference caused by nearby buildings could affect your system.
The KeyLab is that certain key fobs have a hidden physical key that can be used to unlock the car (often only for the driver's side, but sometimes for the boot too). They can be opened by lifting the flap or pressing a button. The key's physical form can be pulled out of the slot in the case.
Key fobs can be damaged by water - especially if the chips inside them are exposed to soapy or salty water. In certain instances a chip that has been damaged can cause key fobs to stop functioning. In this instance the key fob will need to be replaced by the dealer. However, locksmiths are able to provide replacement keys faster than a dealership, and at a lower cost.
Remote Start
If your key fob comes with the remote start feature, it will allow you to turn on the engine without having to hold the keys to your car in hands.

Certain key fobs have an engine start button you can press to start your car remotely (for example, Ford has a circular an arrow which is moving clockwise around its key fob). Others, like Mazda's requires that you first secure the key, and then press the start button.
If you're unable to start your car, you might have a dead or weak battery inside the key fob. The battery in 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 in your key fob, or try changing the program. This procedure varies from car to vehicle, but you can typically follow the steps in the owner's manual.

Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote allows you to lock or unlock your car by pressing the button on your key fob. This key fob, unlike the traditional key with an opening in the middle, is designed to store an unnoticed copy of the car keys inside.
To accomplish this, it utilizes a special radio signal that is only sent when the key is within a certain range of the car. A solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic command into an actual mechanical one after the signal has been spotted. This moves a rod that opens the door lock similar to the way a physical key used to do.
There are many possible causes for the Peugeot keyfob not locking or unlocking your car. The most frequent reason is the battery is dead. This can be fixed in minutes. Other causes include worn buttons water damage signals interference or a malfunctioning electronic chip.
Modern vehicles require a high level of precision to function and the key fob isn't in any way immune to this. The key fob may have been programmed incorrectly, or it may have a hardware fault that prevents the vehicle from responding to the signal generated by the key. A certified locksmith can reprogram the key fob to ensure that it works with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot was one of the first manufacturers to install an immobiliser inside a key. This stops the car from starting in the event that the key sends the incorrect signal to the car. When new this is great but as they age the chips wear out and start causing issues. This usually occurs when you notice a message on your dashboard stating 'anti-theft system active' or a warning lamp that says 'immobiliser failure'.
Peugeot dealerships are usually used to create and program replacement keys. However, a professional locksmith has dealer-standard equipment in their van, which means they can be there and generating new Peugeot keys on the roadside or at home, much faster than dealers would be able to.
Peugeot keys usually begin to malfunction when the blade begins to wear. The wear causes the mouth of the key to stop from feeding into the lock properly and causing wear on the locks themselves. The problem can be resolved by simply replacing the blade. It can also be beneficial to have the teeth of the key repaired so they work more smoothly. Only a professional auto locksmith is able to do this, but it could save you lots of time and money in the future.
