Chipped Keys

If your Renault has transponder chip, it will only start when you use the correct key. This will prevent car theft by stopping the engine from running if an incorrect key is used.

The chip has an unique serial number that matches the one in the computer of your car. When you put the new key in the ignition it sends a message to the immobiliser. It then determines if the number on your chip matches the one that is stored in the system. If the match is a success, then your car will 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 system, the car will not begin and it will enter an enforced safety lockout condition, which usually lasts three to four minutes. Once this happens you won't be able to drive your vehicle and will require a new key.
