Hi, tried searching but could not find the answer I need. My remote locking on my 2014 step way is getting intermittent. If I use the car and then use remote to lock, all good. If I leave the car, for say more than a few hours then nothing, this is the same with both keys (and I've put new batteries in to check). Does anyone know if there is a small battery in the car which helps charge the transponder signal from the key. Like I say if I use the car and then get out I can lock car with remote from any distance (on either key), leave it a while though and come back to car and neither key works no matter how close, so I have to use manual door lock in passenger door, and once passenger door open pressing the central dash lock button does nothing so I have to physically go round and unlock all door using internal door handle. Once the car has been used for a while everything back to normal. Main car battery is fine, and never had issues with this. I am presuming that if I unlock passenger door manually, pressing the dash 'lock' button should unlock everything? Any suggestions?

It does sound Lile a sync problem. My VW handbook advises against pressing the keyfob when not within range of the van as it could stop it synchronising with the BCM and it would need to be re-synchronised. Could this be the case here? Many Renault parts and technology is used on Dacia's across the Clio/Scenic range so a sync procedure for one of those may help?
From another post:
All done in 30 seconds
I inserted the key into the ignition and turned ON the engine
I then turned OFF the engine leaving the faulty ignition key in place in the ignition
Then I pressed the central door locking button for just over 10 seconds and after the 10 seconds (keeping my finger on the central door lock button) I pressed the LOCKING button on the key (still in ignition) twice
This worked perfectly and my key is now programmed.
