Keys damaged by chipping Keys

If your Renault comes with transponders, they will only activate only when you use the correct key. This prevents car theft by stopping the engine from starting in the event of an unauthorised key being used.

The chip is equipped with an identifier number that matches to the one stored in the car's computer system. When you insert your new key into the ignition it sends an alert to the immobiliser that then checks to see if the code on the chip matches the one in the system. If the match is successful then your car will then allow fuel flow, turning of the starter motor or whatever else it is required to do.

If the key fails to send an appropriate match or isn't acknowledged by the immobiliser, the car will not start and enter an enforced safety lockout mode which usually lasts three to four minutes. You won't be in a position to drive the car when this happens, and you'll require an alternative key.

While a transponder key can be used to unlock car doors and windows, it is also required to start the engine. This is accomplished by sending a signal from the microchip in the car key to the engine.
