To start the car with your key fob, press the unlock button on it several times in quick succession. The door locks should close and the red LED light should begin to flash. If this doesn't happen the battery in your key fob may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby buildings could affect your system.
Another nifty feature is that some key fobs are equipped with a physical key to unlock the car (often only for the driver's door, but sometimes also for the boot). You can open them by lifting the flap or pressing the button. The key's physical part can be removed from a slot in the case to access the lock.

Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote key system enables the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle with the press of a button on the key fob. The key fob, which is different from the traditional key with an opening in the middle, is designed to store a secret copy of the car keys inside.
It does this by using the radio signal, which can only be transmitted if the key is in a certain distance from car. Once the signal is spotted by a solenoid, the door lock translates the electronic command into a mechanical action. The rod is then turned to control the car door locks just as keys on a real key could.
There are several possible causes for the Peugeot keyfob that isn't locking or unlocking your car. The most frequent cause is an unresponsive battery. It can be fixed in minutes. Other causes include worn-out buttons signals interference or water damage or a damaged chip.
Modern vehicles require a precise level of precision to operate and the key fob is not in any way immune to this. The key fob may be programmed incorrectly or it could have a hardware fault that stops the vehicle from responding to the signal of the key. A certified locksmith can reprogram the key fob to ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were among 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 transmits the wrong signal to the car. When it's brand new, this is fantastic, but as they age the chips will wear out and begin to cause issues. This typically happens when you notice a message on your dashboard stating 'anti-theft system active' or a warning lamp that says 'immobiliser failure'.
Usually Peugeot dealerships must be asked to create and program replacement keys. However, a professional locksmith comes with dealer-standard equipment inside their van, meaning they can be with you and making new Peugeot keys by the roadside or at home much quicker than dealerships are capable of.
Generally Peugeot keys start to have issues when the blade of the key wears out. This wear can cause the mouth of the key to fit into the lock properly, causing further wear on the locks. Often simply swapping over the blade will help solve the issue. It may also be helpful to have the teeth on the key refurbished to enable them to operate more efficiently. Only a professional auto locksmith is able to do this, but it could save you lots of time and cash in the long run.
