The keys contain a transponder that transmits a cryptic message to the car. Only when the signal is received correctly will the car begin to move. Certain key fobs are equipped with several features that owners might not be aware of, but could prove useful when needed. If your citroen key fob stopped working, whether because of dropping on the floor that damaged the chip in the inside or simply because it has been unable to function, then there are some options you might try. The first step is to check the battery in your key fob to check for battery issues.

Replacing the battery is relatively easy and can be done at home. It is also a good idea to inspect for damage caused by water to the key fob since this could hinder its functioning. Re-installing the key fob into the ignition after having replaced the batteries will aid in restoring functionality.

If the battery connector's terminals are damaged or broken and need to be re-soldered, careful insertion into the correct position can bring your key fob back to working condition. Certain models of key fobs have one “Panic” button. This button is designed to deter potential thieves from your vehicle, specifically when you live in an area that is isolated, such as an underground parking garage. The function is not foolproof but it will stop criminals trying to steal your vehicle or break into your home. The panic button emits an alarming sound that will scare anyone in the vicinity.
