How to Deactivate the Immobiliser on the Renault Clio

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Instrument cluster

The immobiliser, also known as the immobilizer, is an electronic security device fitted to cars that prevents the engine from running unless a correct code is transmitted from the remote to the ignition system via a transponder. If, when starting our vehicle, the immobiliser light remains on or continues to flash, follow the instructions below to unlock it. First, insert the key into the ignition, press the button in the centre of the key, and turn the key to position 1 and then immediately to position 2. At this point, the immobiliser LED will turn off, and you will be able to start the engine.
