Remote Start

If you're unable to start your car, you may have a weak or dead battery inside the key fob. This is because the batteries in the key fob aren't strong enough to send an effective signal to the car's system.

Once the signal is detected, a solenoid inside the door lock transforms the electronic command into an action mechanical. This moves a rod that controls the door locks exactly like the turning of keys used to do.
If you notice that a
Peugeot key fob isn't locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are a variety of possible reasons for the issue. The most frequent cause is an unresponsive coin battery which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Other reasons include worn-out buttons, signal interference or water damage or a damaged chip.
Modern cars require a very high level of precision for operation and the key fob is not immune to this. The key fob could be programmed incorrectly, or it could have a hardware issue that makes the vehicle unable to respond to the signal of the key. A licensed locksmith can reprogram your key fob to ensure that it is compatible with the vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were among the first car makers to include an immobiliser chip in a key. The chip prevents the car from starting if it detects an untrue signal being sent from the key to the car. When it's brand new, this is fantastic, but as they age the chips will wear out and begin to cause problems. This typically happens when you notice a message on your dashboard that reads 'anti theft system active or a warning lamp that says 'immobiliser failure'.
Peugeot dealerships are usually called to design and program replacement keys. However, a professional locksmith is equipped with dealer-standard equipment in their van, meaning they can be there and creating new

Generally Peugeot keys begin to exhibit problems because the key blade wears out. This wear causes the mouth part of the key to stop from feeding into the lock properly which causes more wear on the locks themselves. Sometimes, just swapping out the blade will help resolve the problem. It is also possible to have the teeth on the key refurbished in order to make them work more smoothly. Only a professional auto locksmith can do this, but it could save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
