They function by sending an electronic code to the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is activated and the car is started. If the code does not match, the ECU disables certain components that are required to operate the engine and then drive the car away. This stops criminals from using specialized equipment to copy the signal sent by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU and it will start.

The earliest Renault models had static codes that could be copied using special devices, however modern versions have been updated to use rolling or changing security codes that can only be duplicated using the right technology.

One of the designers, Bernard Dumondel, was staying in an hotel when he noticed how simple it was to lock the room using an electronic card.
