If your Renault has a transponder chip then it will only start by using the correct key. This will prevent car theft by stopping the engine from starting if an incorrect key is used.

The chip has an identification number that lines with the one that is stored in the computer system of your car. When you insert your new key into the ignition it sends a signal to the immobiliser which checks that the chip's code matches the one that is stored in the system. If the match is confirmed, then your car will allow fuel flow, turning of the starter motor or any other thing it needs to do.

If the key doesn't send an appropriate match, or is not recognised by the immobiliser, the vehicle will stop functioning and go into a safety lockout mode.

Key Cards

Renault key cards look different from chipped keys, however they operate in a similar manner.

The key card can be encoded so that you have access to specific areas within the building. This will block anyone else from driving your car, or accessing certain areas of your office.

The keys could be a problem because the plastic card can deteriorate over time or the internal mechanisms can bend or crack. You'll see a message saying "card is not detected" on the dash, or perhaps a blank screen. This indicates that the card is failing and needs replacing.
