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 is useful in cold or hot weather conditions and allows drivers to warm up the engine and interior before entering the vehicle. Car dealerships can design and program new Peugeot keys for you but only if they have the patience to wait for weeks to do this. We can cut and program, then deliver new Peugeot keys faster with KeyNOW. In addition to opening and locking your car doors, some key fobs also have the ability to start the engine. This is useful in the event that you need to leave the vehicle on hot days, or if you're carrying large objects in the boot that make it difficult to open the door manually. To start the car with your key fob, simply press the unlock button on it several times in quick intervals. The door locks should unlock and the red LED light should begin to flash. If this does not happen the battery in your key fob may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately, RF interference caused by nearby buildings could interfere with your system. Some key fobs also have a physical key that can be used to unlock your car (often for the driver's side door, but sometimes the boot too). They can usually be accessed by flipping up the flap on the fob, or a button on the case. The key's physical form can slide out of an opening in the case to access the lock. Key fobs may be damaged by water - especially in the event that the chips inside are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some instances a chip that has been damaged could cause key fobs to stop working. If this occurs the key fob will have to be replaced - typically by the dealer. Locksmiths can provide replacement keys much quicker and at a lower price than dealerships. Remote Start You can start your car without having to have your keys in your car. This is especially helpful if it's hot and you want to cool your vehicle while you run some errands. However, there are some things you need to know prior to making use of this feature. Some key fobs include a remote engine start button that you can press to start your vehicle remotely (for example, Ford has a circular arrow moving clockwise on its key fob). Other key fobs, like Mazda's requires that you first secure the key, and then press the start button. It could be that you have an insufficient or dead battery in your key fob, if you aren't able to start the car. The battery inside the key fob isn't strong enough to send a signal to the car's system. If this is the scenario, you'll have to replace the batteries in your key fob, or try to re-programme it. The procedure varies for every car, but the instructions are usually found in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are capable of helping you with this procedure. We have the expert equipment to cut and program a new Peugeot keys at workplace, at home, or when you're stuck by the roadside. Door Locks The Peugeot 3008 remote system lets you to lock or unlock your car by pressing the button on your key fob. The key fob, in contrast to the traditional key with an actual hole, can store a hidden copy of the car keys inside. It does this by utilizing the radio signal which can only be sent when the key is within a certain distance from the car. A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic signal into mechanical after the signal has been spotted. This causes a rod to control the car door locks, the same way keys on a real key would. If you notice that a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the car, there are several possible causes of the problem. The most common is an unresponsive coin battery which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn-out buttons, signal interference, or water damage or a malfunctioning chip. Modern vehicles require a precise level of accuracy to operate, and the key fob isn't in any way immune to this. The key fob could have been programmed incorrectly, or it could have a hardware fault that hinders the vehicle from responding to the signal generated by the key. A locksmith who is certified can reprogram the key fob, and ensure that it works with your vehicle. Immobiliser Peugeot were one of the first car manufacturers to include an immobiliser chip in a key. This prevents the car from starting when the key sends a incorrect signal to the car. This is a great feature when they're new however, over time, the chips can get worn out and cause issues. It usually starts with an alert stating 'anti theft system active' on the dashboard, or a warning light illuminated stating 'immobiliser fault'.
Usually Peugeot dealerships need to be called in to design and program replacement keys. However, a professional mobile locksmith has dealer-standard equipment in their van, meaning they can be with you and creating new Peugeot keys at the side of the road or at your home faster than a dealership would be able to. Peugeot keys typically begin to fail when the key blade starts to wear out. This wear causes the mouth of the key to stop entering the lock correctly which causes more wear on the locks themselves. Sometimes, simply changing a new blade is enough to resolve the problem. It can also be beneficial to have the teeth of the keys rehabilitated so they work more smoothly. Only a licensed auto locksmith can do this, however it will save you a lot of time and money in the future. |
