If it doesn't it means that the battery inside your key fob might be dead and in need of replacement. Alternately, interference from RF caused by nearby buildings could affect your system.
Some key fobs have an actual key that can be used to open your car (often for the driver's side door, but occasionally the boot as well). You can open them by lifting the flap or pressing a button. The physical key can then be slid out of the slot in the case.
Key fobs may be damaged by water, especially if the chips are exposed to salty or soapy water. In some instances keys will cease working completely due damage to the chip.

Remote Start

Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote allows you to lock or unlock your vehicle by pressing a button on your key fob. In contrast to the traditional key which has a physical key hole the key fob has an encrypted copy of the car's key inside.

A solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic signal into mechanical once the signal is detected. This causes a rod to operate the car door locks, the same way keys on a real key could.
If you find that your Peugeot key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are a variety of possible causes. The most frequent cause is the battery is dead. It can be repaired in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn buttons water damage signal interference or a damaged electronic chip.

A licensed locksmith can reprogram the key fob and ensure that it works with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were one of the first car makers to include an immobiliser chip in a key. The immobiliser chip stops the car from starting if it detects an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. When new this is great however as they age, the chips can get worn out and begin to cause problems. It usually starts with a message saying 'anti theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light is illuminated stating 'immobiliser fault'.

This is something only a competent auto locksmith is able to do however it can save you lots of headache and expense in the end.
