If your Renault has transponder, it will only start when you press the correct key. This helps prevent theft of your car by stopping the engine from starting if an incorrect key is used.
The chip has an identifier number that matches to the one stored in the computer system of your car. When you insert the new key in the ignition it sends a signal to the immobiliser. It then checks if the code on your chip is the same as the one that is stored in the system. If the match is successful then your car will then allow the flow of fuel, the turning of the starter motor, or any other thing it needs to do.
If the key doesn't send an appropriate signal or isn't recognised by the immobiliser system then the car will not begin and it will enter an enforced safety lockout condition, that typically lasts between three to four minutes. You won't be permitted to drive your car after this occurs and you will need a replacement key.

The key card may also be encoded to give you access to different areas within a building, so no one else will be able access your car or certain areas of the office.

Fobs are equipped with security features that stop their signals from being snatched or copied. You might be able to purchase a replacement key fob from the manufacturer.
