Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote key system enables the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle at the touch of a button on the key fob. The key fob, in contrast to the standard key that has a physical hole, holds a secret copy of the car keys inside.

When the signal is detected by a solenoid, the door lock transforms the electronic command into a mechanical action. This causes a rod to turn the car door locks, the same way the physical key could.
