How to Bypass Key Coding on Renault Clio

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Key

Bypassing the key coding on the Renault Clio that "immobilises" the vehicle is relatively simple. If you try to start the car without the coding, you will see (as illustrated in the images) that the car does not start. To bypass this issue, turn the key, inserted in the ignition, to the off position, then turn it back to the position just before starting the engine. At this point, press and hold the unlock button on the key and turn it to the intermediate position between off and the previous position. While still holding the button, turn the key back to the position just before ignition and you're done. The car will start as shown in the video.
