How to Replace the Remote Control Battery on a Renault Clio

Model: Renault Clio Clio IV, MK 4, Clio 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

This car model, like many others from the French manufacturer, is equipped with the so-called KEY CARD: the classic remote key has been replaced by a proper card that allows opening and closing the vehicle through the standard buttons, but for starting, it must be inserted into a specific slot to be recognised and enable starting with the corresponding button; unlike the previous model which was quite difficult to open, the new key card has a much simpler battery compartment: once the metal key is removed, simply lever in the corresponding slot to remove the battery compartment cover.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
