Door Locks The Peugeot 3008 remote system allows you to lock or unlock your car by pressing a button on your key fob. The key fob, which is different from the standard key that has an actual hole, can store an encrypted copy of the car keys inside. To do this, it utilizes a unique radio signal which is only sent when the key is within a certain distance of the car. A solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic signal into mechanical after the signal has been spotted. This causes a rod to operate the car door locks just as an actual key could. If the Peugeot key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the car, there are several possible reasons for the issue. The most common cause is an unresponsive battery. This is easily replaced in minutes. Other causes are worn-out buttons signal interference, or water damage or a damaged chip. Modern vehicles require a high level of precision to operate and the key fob is not immune to this. The key fob could be programmed incorrectly or it could be faulty in hardware that hinders the vehicle from responding to the signal sent by the key. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram the key fob and ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle. Immobiliser Peugeot were one of the first car makers to implement an immobiliser device in a key. This stops the car from being started in the event that the key sends the wrong signal to the car. This is a great feature when they are new, but over time the chips will get worn out and cause issues. This usually begins with an alert that reads 'anti theft system active' on the dashboard, or a warning light blinking indicating “immobiliser fault”.

This is something only a qualified auto locksmith can do but it could save you a lot of hassle and expense in the end.
