Key fobs are subjected to a wide range of physical damage, and are not impervious to destruction. Fortunately fixing a dead key fob is a simple task.
Keyless Entry
A lot of modern cars are equipped with key fobs that allow owners to unlock and start their vehicle without the need to insert an actual key into the ignition barrel. These keys have a transponder that sends a coded message to the car. Only when the signal is received correctly is the vehicle able to start.
Key fobs have a variety of built-in features, some which owners are not even aware of, but can be extremely useful when needed. If your citroen key fob was not working, whether it was due to dropping it on the floor, which damaged the chip inside or simply because it has stopped working, then there are some solutions you could try.

It is a good idea also to test the lock and unlock functions of all the buttons on the key fob.
Remote locking
If your remote doesn't respond when you press the unlock button on your key fob, it may be because the battery is dead. If this is the case, then the fob needs to be reset to work with your car. This procedure is slightly different for every car model but the fundamental steps are the same.

If the battery connector terminals have become broken or loose, soldering carefully back into place can restore your key fob's functioning condition.
Some key fobs include a "Panic Button". The purpose of this button is to scare off potential thieves, especially if they are in a remote area like an underground parking garage. Although it's not foolproof but it could help discourage criminals from attempting to steal your car or even gaining entry into your home. A push of the panic button will trigger an alarming sound that will alarm anyone who is near it.
Engine Start
It makes it easy to turn your car's ignition on and off by using a signal from a key fob that is unique to you. The system ensures that the engine will only come on when the key fob is in close proximity. This feature is especially useful in cold weather, since you can precool or warm your vehicle at home.
If you get an error message stating "key not detected" put the keyfob in the central armrest bin or on the dashboard on newer vehicles. The keyfob should be able to be used to press START in order to start the vehicle.
