It is completed by the “solenoid”. It is an electromagnet that goes under a 12 volt electric impulse to push the fork (link element between the “solenoid” and the electric motor of the starter) and thus engage the starter drive pinion on the engine flywheel. Following this action, once in engagement, the starter motor of your Renault Talisman is activated and turns the drive pinion on the flywheel to start the engine.
