Replacement Key For Renault Clio
Renault cars come with an immobiliser system that is very complex. The majority of people think that if they lose just one key the only way to get a replacement is to contact their Renault dealer in France.
We offer an alternative that is much cheaper and more efficient. We keep all Renault keys and cards in stock, so we usually can provide you with a brand new substitute within an hour after you call us.
Keys with chips Keys
If your Renault is equipped with transponder, it will only activate when you use the right key. This prevents car theft by stopping the engine from running when an incorrect key is used.
The chip is equipped with a unique serial number that is the same as that in your car’s computer. When you insert the new key in the ignition it sends a signal to the immobiliser which then verifies if the code on your chip 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 is required to do.
If the key does not send a match or isn’t recognised by the immobiliser system then the car will not begin and it will enter an enforced safety lockout mode, which can last from three to four minutes. You won’t be able to drive your car once this happens and you will need a new key.
