Keyless Entry

A lot of modern cars are equipped with key fobs which allow owners to open and start their vehicle without the need to insert a physical key into the ignition barrel. The keys are equipped with a transponder that sends a coded message to the car. Only when the signal is received correctly will the car begin to move.

Certain key fobs have various features that the owners may not be aware of but could prove useful when needed. If your key fob from Citroen has stopped working, whether it was due to dropping on the floor that caused damage to the internal chip or simply because it has been unable to function, then there are some options you can try.

In the first place, you must examine the battery in your key fob to check for battery issues. This is often the cause of many of the issues mentioned above, since a weak or dead battery can prevent the key fob from sending its signals to the receiver module inside the car. The replacement of the battery is simple and can be done at home. Be sure to check for any water damage to the key fob, as this could cause it to stop functioning. Once you've replaced the battery, re-seating the key fob in the ignition could help restore its functionality. It is also recommended to test all the buttons on the key fob to test both lock and unlock functions.

Remote locking

If your remote does not respond when you press the unlock key on the fob that you have, it may be because the battery is dead. The fob will have to be reprogrammed to work with your vehicle if this is the scenario. The process is slightly different for each vehicle model, however, it's generally the same. It is important to check all the buttons on your key fob before you begin to ensure that none of them are damaged.

Think about whether the key fob can be damaged by water, blunt force or circuit board scratch marks. You will need to disassemble the key fob and inspect its internal components. If the battery connector's terminals are damaged or loose and you need to fix them, carefully putting them back in place can bring your key fob to good functioning condition.

Certain models of key fobs have a "Panic" button. This button is designed to deter potential thieves from your vehicle, specifically when you live located in an isolated location like an underground parking garage. While it's not 100% foolproof but it can deter criminals from attempting to steal your car or even breaking into your home. The press of the panic button will create a loud noise that will alarm anyone who is near it.

Engine Start

This makes it easier to turn your car's ignition on and off via an electronic key fob that is unique to you. The system will also ensure that the engine will only be started if your key fob is close by. This feature is particularly helpful in cold weather, since you can precool or heat your car at home.

If you get an error message saying "key not detected" Place the keyfob in the central armrest bin, or on the dashboard on vehicles that are newer. It is then possible to use the keyfob to press START to start the car.
