Chipped Keys
If your Renault has transponder chips, then it will only start by using the right key. This will prevent car theft by stopping the engine from starting when a wrong key is used.
The chip has an ID number that is matched 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 successful, then your car will allow fuel flow, turning of the starter motor, or whatever else it might need to do.
If the key fails to send an appropriate signal, or is not recognised by the immobiliser, the vehicle will stop functioning and enter a safety lockout mode. This typically takes between three and four minutes. You won’t be allowed to drive your vehicle after this occurs and you will need a replacement key.
