The steering is well-weighted and responsiveness, and was easy to operate when participating in the van’s “parking gymkhana’ challenge (yours really nailed it in the process, by the way). Also, there is a “Panic button which could, theoretically, be used to deter thieves.
Hidden Physical Keys
Modern car keys have a number useful features, such as the ability of starting and stopping the engine from a distance. These hidden features are helpful if you’re in a hurry or need to get out of the rain. Some of these hidden features are also utilized by thieves to gain access to your vehicle.
The key fob emits radio frequencies (RF) that are detected by the receiver inside the car. The receiver interprets these signals and decides whether the button was pressed, such as to unlock or start the engine.
When the new key fob is added to the system, it broadcasts its serial number and current counter for synchronization to the receiver in a specific learning mode. The receiver stores this data in memory and exits learning mode. If the key fob is used in the future, it will use the decryption key and counter for synchronization to authenticate its signal.
While this security measure has been effective in preventing many attacks, it isn’t completely foolproof. A sophisticated attack technique known as RollJam [17] has been able convert this security measure into an attack. To be able to successfully, the attacker will need the future codes sent via the key fob. Once these codes have been obtained, the attacker can perform the replay and gain access to the vehicle.

A feature that is popular among people with Renault Trafic is the ability to unlock the hatchback and trunk by pressing an option on their key fob. This can be very useful when they have a lot of groceries or party supplies in their hands and don’t want to have to lay everything down in order to open the car.
It is also a good method to prevent theft from occurring in the first instance. A simple press of the panic key will deter anyone who tries to steal your vehicle or break into your house. It will also alert your neighbors. If you’re driving and start to feel unsafe pressing the button will immediately notify nearby drivers that something is wrong.
The primary reason the system may not be working properly is that the key fob might be damaged, either from dropping it or washing it. Other causes include a faulty key programmed or a malfunctioning immobilizer and interference by other wireless devices operating at the same frequency. In the case of an immobilizer that is not working properly it is recommended that you visit an authorized mechanic or Renault dealership to investigate the problem. It could be necessary to change the fuses or disconnect the battery for 15 minutes in order to reset the module.
Sunroof Opener
Renault key fobs that are part of the traffic model have an opener for the sunroof which controls the opening and closing of your vehicle’s sunroof. This is crucial to maintain the temperature at a comfortable level while driving in summer. This feature can also let you open the sunroof to vent the car, which can aid in the circulation of air during a scorching drive.
The sunroof can be opened and closed by using the console switch located on the driver’s side (left-hand drive) of the hatch area. This will open the sunroof until it is in a comfortable position, which is approximately 75 75%. This is the typical setting in most automobiles. Touch OPEN for full sunroof operation and CLOSE for closing.
If the sunroof does not function correctly, it could be that the micro-switch may be malfunctioning. The sunroof motor may be operated manually for a brief period of time to test the current of the motor by using an ammeter. Enlarging the adjusting screw will increase the torque of the motor slip clutch, and tightening it will reduce it. Once the slip clutch has been correctly adjusted, apply high strength Loctite to the lock nut for the adjusting screw.
Another issue that can stop your sunroof from raising is a defective Limit Switch 2 or one that has been adjusted incorrectly. The lifting arms retract to the released position to be removed, but not to the locked-open position. The sunroof is only operated on cars manufactured after 1985.5. The ignition switch must be set to the ACESSORY (2) position. The sunroof console switch then moved back (“A” direction) to open and then pushed forward (“B” direction) to close.

A yellow warning light that looks like a car and has swirls under it indicates that the stability control has kicked in to try and prevent loss of traction. It is usually accompanied by an audio warning and should only be in place for a brief amount of time before dissolving in order to restore the traction. If it continues to be on for longer you should check the manual or seek expert assistance from an Renault mechanic or dealer as soon as you can.
