How a Jaguar Smart Key Works

Jaguar smart key is an easy method of locking and unlocking your vehicle from a distance. Like all electronic devices, it’s powered by a battery.

If your Smart Key battery is beginning to go out of date, your car might indicate this with an increase in the range of its signals. G28 may also show an alert “SMART-KEY BATTERY FAILS”.

Keyless Entry

With this feature, you’ll be in a position to access your Jaguar without having to search through your pockets or purse. The system utilizes proximity sensors to detect the Jaguar Smart Key fob, which will trigger your XE’s automatic opening. When you are near the vehicle, just hold any door handle it will open and then disarm. You can lock your vehicle by pressing the handle of the door or the key fob after you leave the vehicle.

The technology also permits you to use Jaguar XE’s Powered Trunk Lid feature. This allows you to open the trunk using a single gesture, which means you can carry luggage, groceries or sporting equipment, without having to reach into your wallet or purse for the key. This is a fantastic feature for those who haul gear around Gilbert frequently and do not wish to use their hands.

Hold the Activity Key against your trunk until you’re ready to close it. The hazard light will flash when it’s connected.

The battery of the Jaguar Smart Key does not need to be replaced unlike other smart keys. You might notice that the range of your smart key is decreasing, and it will not respond to commands instantly. If this happens, you should replace the battery as soon as possible.

Panic Alarm

If your car’s alarm sounds at the top of its volume, you can swiftly turn it off using your Jaguar Smart Key. This feature, known as the panic button may appear straightforward, but it can be useful in certain scenarios.

Press the Smart Key button with a headlamp symbol three times in a span of three seconds to activate panic mode. The system will turn on the vehicle’s headlamps for 25 seconds and operate the alarm five times in order to deter potential criminals. After pressing the button the panic alarm will be removed.

You can also utilize the Jaguar Activity Key without the Smart Key inside to lock and unlock the vehicle. Just slip the Activity Key on your wrist, turn off the engine, close all doors, and hold your Activity Key until you reach the Jaguar emblem on the tailgate. The vehicle will be locked and the warning lights on your vehicle will flash to indicate that it’s secured.

If the battery in your Smart Key fob is low you will hear a sound warning and see “SMART KEY Battery Low” located in the center of the display. Remove the chrome cover from the key fob and slide out the CR2032 batteries. Replace the batteries with a new one that is facing upwards.

Increased Security

Jaguar’s keyless entry system is available on a variety of models that eliminate the need for you to play with your keys when you are getting ready to leave for your Irvine commute. The XE makes use of proximity sensors to sense the key fob you have when you are near the car and it will then automatically unlock and disarm your security when you reach for the door handle. This feature is particularly helpful for those who frequently lose their keys while on the go or have to juggle multiple bags, keys, and children in the morning before driving to work.

You can also secure your Jaguar with its touch screen. Press the lock icon one time to secure your vehicle and activate the alarm. Press it two times to lock the vehicle in two places. This prevents the vehicle from being unlocked or starting even if someone breaks the window.

InControl Remote’s Guardian Mode can be used to further enhance the security of your Jaguar. This feature will notify your smartphone whenever it detects unusual movements of your vehicle. A notification will be directly sent to your phone if the vehicle has been compromised. This will allow you to alert the police immediately. This feature can help safeguard your Jaguar from theft, and is available on many E-PACE I-PACE, F-PACE, and E-PACE vehicles.

Convenience

A Jaguar smart key can lock your car, without you to turn the knob that allows you to put your keys in your pocket or bag. It also allows remote start of your vehicle, letting you go on your Rumson or Colts Neck commute with your car already warmed up or cooled.

This feature is especially useful for those who love the outdoors and aren’t willing to leave their car keys in it when hiking or biking. Your smart key can be used to alter your car’s temperature and seat setting. This allows you to modify the settings of your Jaguar before you get inside.

Although Jaguar’s smart keys are more secure than traditional key fobs, you should be aware when using them in public places like restaurants or gas stations. Because they transmit a low-frequency signal, others could detect the signal and lock or start your car from a distance.

Fortunately, this is easy to avoid by using the remote start system only when you are sure you are in a safe environment and you are certain that no one else will see your smart key. You can also set off your alarm from a distance which will sound enough to scare off any potential thieves. You can also add the Activity Key to your smart key to avoid having to bring keys when you’re hiking or mountain biking.
