How to Use Your Citroen Key Fob SmartlyMany car owners are unaware that their keys have some pretty cool features. These tricks are useful when you require your car to be summoned such as Tesla, or deter home intruders.Key fobs are subjected to a variety of physical damage, and they're not impervious to destruction. It's fairly simple to repair an unusable keyfob.Keyless EntryMany modern vehicles 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. These keys have a transponder which transmits a coded message to the car. Only when the signal is received correctly can the vehicle begin to move.Some key fobs come with many features that owners may not be aware of but can prove to be very useful when needed. There are a few things you can do if your citroen's main fob isn't working. It could be due to a fallen object that has damaged the internal chip or it could simply stopped functioning.The first step is to check the battery inside your key fob to check for battery issues. Many of the issues described above are caused by the absence of a key fob battery. It can stop the keyfob from sending signals to the receiver module inside the vehicle. The replacement of the battery is simple, and can be done at home. It is also a good idea to look for damage to the water-based key fob as this can also stop it from functioning. Re-installing the key fob into the ignition after having replaced the batteries will aid in restoring functionality. It is a good idea also to test the locking and unlock functions of each plip button on the key fob.Remote lockingIf your remote doesn't respond when you press the unlock key on the fob that you have, it may be because the battery is dead. If this is the case, the fob needs to be reset to work with your car. This process is slightly different for each car model but the fundamental procedures are generally identical. Before starting, test all of the buttons on your fob to make sure none of them are broken.You should also think about whether the key fob is prone to damage, such as blunt force, water or circuit board scratches. You will need to disassemble the key fob and examine its internal components. If the battery connector terminals are loose or broken, carefully soldering them back to the correct position can return your key fob to good working condition.Certain key fobs come with a "Panic Button". This button is designed to scare away potential thieves from your vehicle, especially if you are in an area that is isolated, like an underground parking garage. Although it's not foolproof but it can discourage criminals from attempting to steal your car or even break into your home. The panic button emits a loud noise, which can scare anyone who comes in.Engine StartIt is possible to switch your car on or off using a special key fob. The system makes sure that the engine will only come on when the key fob is nearby. This feature is particularly helpful in cold weather, since you can precool or warm your vehicle at home.If your car shows an error message stating "key not detected", try holding the keyfob next to the steering column, or on vehicles with more modern technology, place it in the central armrest bin, dashboard or cupholder. The keyfob should be capable of being used to press START to start the vehicle.It is easy to reprogram the key fob of a Citroen for locking and unlocking.
