Keys that are chipped Keys

If your Renault is equipped with a transponder, it'll only turn on when you use the right key. This stops car theft by stopping the engine from starting when an incorrect key is used.

The chip has a serial number that matches with the one that is stored in your car's computer system. When you insert the new key into the ignition, it sends a signal to the immobiliser, which then verifies that the chip's code matches the one that is stored in the system. If the match is successful, your vehicle will allow fuel to flow or turn on the starter motor.

If the key isn't able to send an appropriate match or isn't recognized by the immobiliser system, the car will not begin and it will enter an forced safety lockout, which typically lasts around three to four minutes. Once this happens, you will not be allowed to drive your car and will require a replacement key.

For a new key, you will need to visit your local locksmith. They'll be able to determine the necessary cuts for your car. Once they have the necessary information, they can create a duplicate key. They can also program the new key into your car so that it will start.

Key Cards

Renault key cards are different from chipped keys, but they work in the same way. The card is placed in the car's dash panel reader and when the key button is hit, it will unlock the car and when the engine button is released, it will start the vehicle. The key card can also be encrypted to grant you access to different areas in a building so no one else will be able drive your car or enter certain areas of the office.

These keys can pose a problem since the plastic card could deteriorate over time or the internal mechanisms can bend or crack. If this happens, you'll receive a message on the dash screen stating "card not detected" or sometimes just a blank screen. This indicates that the card must be replaced.

Key Fobs

Key fobs of today have more functions than simple lock and unlock commands. Certain fobs have the ability to remotely open and close doors to the car, and also start the car. Certain fobs come with buttons that roll down the windows. Others let drivers summon their vehicle and then auto-park it.

You may be able to purchase a replacement key fob from your manufacturer. However, this could cost you more than expected.

These keys have a unique serial number and the blade isn't cut like the flat metal keys. These keys are designed to replace traditional flat keys made of metal. They are more difficult to steal and are typically only used by the owner of the vehicle. They can be programmed at the dealership or by a locksmith using a diagnostic tool.

Some people believe transponder key fobs and transponder keys are identical. Knowing the difference between the two can make it easier to understand how they function. While a transponder key can be used to unlock car doors, it is also needed to start the engine. It does this by directing an engine signal via a microchip inside the key. The microchip will then identify the car's unique number and shut off the immobilizer.

It is essential to keep in mind that a dealer will only program keys for you if provide identification document or proof of ownership. This will stop thieves from jotting down the VIN to take it to a local part department to program the key fob to an alternative vehicle.
