You can access them by lifting a flap or pressing the button. The key can then slide out of the slot of the case, allowing access to the lock.

Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote key system enables the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle by pressing of a button on the key fob. The key fob, in contrast to the standard key that has an opening in the middle, is designed to store an encrypted copy of the car keys inside.
It does this by utilizing an electronic signal that is only transmitted if the key is located at some distance from the car. A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic command to an actual mechanical one after the signal is detected. This is when a rod turns to operate the door locks, just as a physical key would.
If you notice that a Peugeot key fob has stopped locking or unlocking the vehicle, there are many possible causes of the problem. The most common is a dead coin battery, which is easily replaced in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn buttons water damage signals interference or a faulty electronic chip.
The key fob of modern cars is no exception. Modern vehicles require an extremely high level precision to function. The key fob could have been programmed incorrectly or it could be faulty in hardware that stops the vehicle from responding to the signal sent by the key. A certified locksmith can reprogramme your key fob in order to ensure it is compatible with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot was one of the first manufacturers to install an immobiliser inside the key. The immobiliser chip stops the car from starting if it detects an untrue signal coming from the key to the car. This is a great feature when they're brand new, but over time the chips get worn out and cause issues. This typically happens when you see a message on your dashboard saying 'anti-theft system active' or a warning lamp that reads "immobiliser failure".
