When I first bought my Peugeot 408, I couldn't find the unlock button either, but eventually figured it out. Usually on the remote key, there are two buttons for unlocking and locking - just press the unlock button to open the doors. Inside the car, the unlock button is mostly located on the driver's side door handle, near the window controls, with a small unlock icon - a gentle press unlocks all doors. If you really can't find it, checking the owner's manual is most reliable as it provides illustrated instructions. Don't neglect maintenance - the key battery uses CR2032 type and should be replaced every 2-3 years. If the battery dies, you can temporarily use the mechanical key by inserting it into the door lock cylinder. This thoughtful design means new drivers will adapt after driving a few times, avoiding the panic I initially experienced.

I've been driving the Peugeot 408 for several years and remember the unlock button location particularly well: it's directly operated via buttons on the remote key, while inside the car it's positioned near the driver's door armrest, making the buttons clear at a glance. For daily driving, one-touch unlocking is very convenient, but I recommend regularly cleaning around the buttons as dust buildup can cause delayed response. Replace the key battery every two years to avoid failure at critical moments. Be careful not to let children press the buttons randomly to prevent accidental locking issues. This position design is somewhat similar to Volkswagen series cars, with straightforward operation logic. In short, remember the small switch on the door handle, and don't panic if problems arise—take it slow and you'll always find a solution.

I absolutely adore the design of French cars. The unlock button for the Peugeot 408 is conveniently located on the driver's door handle, making it easy to operate while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The buttons on the remote key are also highly responsive—just one press and it's done. This layout is ergonomic; you can reach it effortlessly without distracting from driving. Other Peugeot models like the 508 or 3008 feature similar setups, so switching from the 408 to another model is hassle-free. For maintenance, simply wipe the button area with a soft cloth to prevent dust buildup—just avoid getting it wet. Remember to replace the key battery (CR2032 model, affordable and easy to swap). For safety, always check the doors after unlocking with one press to avoid accidents. Such thoughtful design!
