How to start your Renault if the key card battery is flat

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Key

In this video, you can see how to start your Renault vehicle even if the battery of your key card is flat. This principle applies to all Renault vehicles with push-button start, such as the Captur, Clio, Megane, and Escape, for example. Even with a flat battery - in an emergency situation - simply bring the card close to the button, so the chip is still recognised, and the vehicle can start normally. Naturally, it is assumed that the first stop will be at a supermarket to obtain a new battery, so it can be replaced as soon as possible.
