On the Renault Megane, the ignition key has been replaced by a card, which has the central locking buttons. This card must be inserted into the designated slot to start the car. It often happens that it is not recognised when inserted: the display shows the message "Card not identified". When this message appears, it may be necessary to replace the card.

A temporary solution is to insert something as a spacer into the slot along with the card: in the video, a knife is used. At this point, it is possible to start the car by pressing the button.

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Jeep Renegade, inflate the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure: this value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver’s door pillar. Once the tyres are properly inflated, navigate through the menu that appears on the instrument cluster until you find the tyre pressure option. At this point, press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to make the warning light disappear.
