- There are two possible scenarios:
- The Z.E. connected services have expired. You can renew them from your computer in the "Catalogue" section on the R-LINK Store (please see FAQ "How do I access the R-LINK Store?" for more information). You will receive an activation code by email. If you do not receive the activation code within 48 hours, please contact our Customer Support
- The Z.E. connected services are still active and valid. You need to contact our Customer Support to recover an activation code.
- Once the activation code has been recovered, go to your MY Renault application and add your new car. During the synchronisation process with your car, you can enter either one of the two activation codes received. After this synchronisation process, you will immediately benefit from your services.
Download here (to be localised) our guide on Z.E. connected services and second-hand cars for more information.
To continue benefiting from your Z.E. connected services,download the MY Renault application free of charge from Apple Store or Google Play. To access your services, you simply need to follow the steps below:
- Create your account by entering your personal information
- Synchronise your car with your activation code and your VIN (information available in the welcome letter received when your car was delivered, and in the emails received after launching MY Renault).
- Enjoy your services on the new MY Renault application and delete the MY Z.E. application.
