What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob

Peugeot Key Fob lets drivers start the car from a distance. This feature is helpful in hot or cold conditions, as it offers drivers the chance to warm their car's interior and engine before entering the vehicle.

Dealerships can program and create new Peugeot keys, but only if they have the time. We can cut programs, cut, and deliver new Peugeot keys much faster at KeyNOW.

Keyless Entry

In addition to opening and locking your car doors, certain key fobs also have the ability to start the engine. This is useful when the vehicle needs to be left in a hot weather condition or if the boot is filled with heavy objects that make it difficult to manually open the door. To start the car using your key fob, simply press the unlock button on it several times in rapid succession. The door locks should be locked and the red LED light should begin to flash. If not, the battery in your key fob could be dead and requires replacement. Alternately, interference from RF caused by nearby buildings could interfere with your system.

Another cool feature is that certain key fobs come with a physical key that can be used to unlock the car (often only for the door of the driver, but occasionally for the boot too). They are usually accessible by opening the flap on the fob, or by pressing a button on the case. The physical key can be removed from the slot inside the case.

Key fobs may be damaged by water, especially when the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In certain instances keys will stop working completely due damage to the chip. If this happens the key fob has to be replaced - usually by the dealer. However, locksmiths can often provide replacement keys faster than dealers, and at a lower cost.

Remote Start

If your key fob is equipped with the remote start feature it will allow you to start the engine without needing to have your car keys in the palm of your hand. This is especially useful in hot weather and you're trying to cool your car when you're running on errands. But there are a few things you need to know prior to using this feature.

Certain key fobs have a separate remote engine start button (for instance Ford's key fob features an arrow that is circular and going clockwise) that you need to press in order to remotely start your car. Mazdas, for instance, require you to first lock 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're unable to start your car. The battery inside the key fob isn't powerful enough to send a signal back to the car system.

If this is the case, you'll need to replace the batteries on the key fob or attempt to re-programme it. The process is different for each vehicle, however the instructions are usually in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are also capable of helping you with this procedure. We have the specialist equipment required to cut and program a new Peugeot key at office, home or when you're stuck by the roadside.

Door Locks

This is when a rod turns to control the car door locks, just like a physical key would.

Key fobs can be programmed incorrectly, or have an issue with the hardware that stops it from receiving a signal from the vehicle.

Immobiliser
