If this doesn't occur, your key fob battery may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately, the RF interference created by nearby structures could interfere with your system.
Some key fobs have physical keys that can be used to open your vehicle (often for the driver's side door, but occasionally the boot too). They can be opened by lifting the flap or pressing a button. The key's physical part can be removed from the slot in the case.
Key fobs are susceptible to being damaged by water, especially if the chips inside them are exposed to salty or soapy water.

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 traditional key with a physical hole, holds a hidden copy of the car keys inside.
It does this by utilizing the radio signal which can only be sent when the key is located at a certain distance from car. Once the signal is detected an internal solenoid within the door lock converts the electronic signal into a mechanical action. This causes a rod to control the car door locks, the same way a physical key would.
There are a variety of possible reasons for the Peugeot keyfob not locking or unlocking your vehicle. The most common is the battery of the coin is dead, which can be replaced in minutes. Other causes are worn buttons, water damage signal interference or a faulty electronic chip.
The key fob in modern cars is no exception. Modern cars require extremely high level of precision to function. The key fob may have been programmed incorrectly, or it could have a hardware fault that prevents the vehicle from responding to the signal sent by the key. A locksmith certified by the ICRC can reprogram your key fob to ensure it is compatible with your vehicle.
Immobiliser

This is great when they are new however, over time, the chips may get worn out and cause issues. This typically happens when you notice a message on your dashboard that says 'anti-theft system active or a warning lamp that reads "immobiliser failure".

The issue can be fixed by simply replacing the blade. It could also be beneficial to have the teeth of the key repaired in order to make them perform more smoothly. Only a qualified auto locksmith can do this, but it could save you lots of time and money in the future.
