What peugeot 107 key Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob
Peugeot Key Fob lets drivers start the car from a distance. This feature is useful in hot or cold conditions, as it offers drivers the chance to warm up their engine and interior before entering the vehicle.
Car dealerships are able to create and program new Peugeot keys for you, but only if you have the patience to wait weeks for them to complete the process. At KeyNOW, we can cut programming, cut and give new Peugeot keys to you significantly faster.
Keyless Entry
As well as unlocking and opening the doors of your car, some key fobs can also be used to start the engine. This is useful if the vehicle needs to be left in a hot weather condition or when the car's boot is stuffed with heavy items that make it difficult to open the door. Press the unlock button on your key fob few times to unlock the vehicle. The door locks should close and a red LED light will begin to flash. If it doesn't it means that the battery inside the key fob could be dead and requires replacement. Alternately, RF interference from nearby buildings may cause interference to your system.
Another interesting feature is that certain key fobs have a hidden physical key that can be used to unlock the car (often only for the driver's door but occasionally for the boot too). They are usually accessible by opening the flap on the fob, or pressing a button on the case. The physical key can then be slid out of the slot in the case.
Water can damage key fobs particularly if the chips are exposed to soapy or salty water. In some cases chips that are damaged can cause key fobs not to function. In this case, the key fob must be replaced by the dealer. Locksmiths can provide replacement keys faster and at a lower price than dealerships.
Remote Start
If your key fob is equipped with the remote start feature, it allows you to start the engine without needing to hold your car keys in hands. This is especially helpful in hot weather and you're trying to cool down your car while doing errands. There are a few things you must know before using this feature.
Certain key fobs have an engine start button you can press to start your vehicle remotely (for example, Ford has a circular an arrow which is moving clockwise around its key fob). Mazdas, for instance, require you to lock the key first and then press the Start button.
If you're having trouble starting your car, you might have a weak or dead battery inside the key fob. The battery of the key fob isn't as strong to transmit a signal to the car system.
If this happens, you'll need to either replace the batteries, or re-program your key fob. The procedure varies for each car, but the instructions are usually found in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are able to assist with this process - we've got the specialist equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at your place of work, home or if you're at the side of the road.
Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote key system allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle with a press of a button on the key fob. The key fob, which is different from the standard key that has a physical hole, holds a hidden copy of the car keys inside.
It does this by using the radio signal which is only sent when the key is at some distance from the car. A solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic command into mechanical once the signal is detected. This is accomplished by moving a rod which operates the car door locks exactly like the turning of keys used to do.
If a Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are a variety of possible reasons for the issue. Most likely is an unresponsive coin battery which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn-out buttons signals interference or water damage or a defective chip.
The key fob of modern automobiles is not an exception. Modern vehicles require an extremely high level of precision in order to operate. The key fob could be programmed incorrectly or it could have a hardware fault that stops the vehicle from responding to the signal of the key. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram your key fob to ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were one of the first car manufacturers to include an immobiliser chip in a key. The immobiliser chip stops the car from starting if it detects an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. This is great when they're new, but over time the chips may get worn out and cause issues. This typically starts with an alert stating 'anti theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light flashing with the message 'immobiliser fault'.
Typically, Peugeot dealerships must be called in to design and program replacement keys. However a professional mobile locksmith is equipped with dealer-standard equipment in their van, which means they can be with you and making new Peugeot keys at the side of the road or at your home faster than dealerships are able to.
Peugeot keys usually begin to fail when the blade begins to wear. This wear can cause the mouth of the key not to fit into the lock in a proper manner, causing further wear on the locks. Sometimes, simply changing a new blade helps to resolve the problem. It is also possible to have the teeth of the key repaired to ensure that they function smoothly. Only a qualified auto locksmith can do this, but it can save you lots of time and money in the future.
