Engine Immobiliser System - Renault 2013 Clio Handbook

ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents anyone not in posses-
sion of the vehicle's coded ignition
key or card from starting the engine.
Operating principle
When the engine is started, warning
light 1 remains lit for a few seconds
then goes out (refer to the information
on "Starting the engine" in Section 2).
The vehicle is automatically protected
a few seconds after the engine is
switched off.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be dan-
gerous. Work must be carried out
by qualified personnel.

Vehicle protection tell-tale
light
After the ignition has been switched off,
warning light 1 flashes and the vehicle
is protected.
Operating fault warning light
If the warning light continues to flash or
stays lit up permanently following an at-
tempt to start the engine, this indicates
a fault in the system.
In this case, use the second key or card
(supplied with the vehicle). If the fault
is still present, contact an approved
Dealer, as they are the only personnel
qualified to repair the engine immobi-
liser system.
If there is interference and/or the hands-
free RENAULT card is not recognised,
move the card or insert it fully into the
card reader.
