Certain Renaults differ from other models in that they do not utilize a standard key, but instead use a key card that is slotted into the dash panel to unlock the car and then start it. It works the same as a standard car key, however it does not need to be turned in order to lock the vehicle. The engine can only be started by pressing the clutch or brake pedal.
Make sure that the Renault key card has been correctly placed in the ignition and that it is activated. You can check this by turning the ignition a few times to make sure it is working.
Another reason that can cause the key card not working is that it has been manipulated. It could be that someone has added an extra key to the system or they’ve used an external remote to open and shut the doors. In either case, the key card will no longer function and you’ll have to have it programmed again.
Transponder Keys
Renaults have a system known as an immobiliser. It’s a device that is attached to the vehicle and when you use your keys to start it is able to disarm the vehicle. This is great for security because it makes it almost impossible for a novice or old-school car thief, to connect the car and then start it without a key.
The majority of Renault cars built in the year 2000 have transponder keys. This is because there is a chip hidden in the head of the key and when you turn the key in the ignition, it sends out a signal to the immobiliser which removes it and allows your car to start.
The older Renaults have a different kind of key that is simply a flat metal key and they function in the same way as you would use a standard mechanical key. They will open the door, but not operate the vehicle. Some newer models have a remote that is similar to the FOBIK chip, but instead of a remote it is a complete unit. They are also known as Smart Keys and Proximity Keys.
The keys are more difficult to steal than the regular transponder keys because they require a small, flat metal tool to be removed from the keys, and these are typically available from a local hardware store. However, these methods do not make it impossible for a professional criminal to steal a car because they also have other options such as an incredibly slim jim, dismantling the door handle and bending the top of the door to expose a ring that can be used to take off the lock.

This makes them a lot more convenient than needing to manually insert your metal key into the lock every time you are required to drive.
