How a Jaguar Smart Key Works
Jaguar smart key is a great method of locking and unlocking your vehicle from some distance. Like all electronic devices, it requires electricity – supplied by batteries.
If your Smart Key battery is beginning to fail, your car may indicate this by an increase in the range of its signals. The message center might also display the alert “SMART KEY BATTERY LOW”.
Keyless Entry
With this feature, you’ll be able to enter your Jaguar without having to search through your purse or pockets. The system utilizes a proximity sensor to detect the Jaguar Smart Key, which will automatically open your XE. When you approach the vehicle, simply hold any door handle it will open and disarm automatically. When you leave your vehicle, you can lock it by pressing the door handle or by pressing the key fob.
You can also use the Powered Gesture trunk lid feature of your Jaguar XE. You can unlock the trunk by gestures. This is great for carrying groceries, luggage or sporting equipment around Gilbert without having to reach for your wallet or purse. This is a great feature for people who carry gear around Gilbert frequently and do not need to use their hands.
Hold the Activity Key against your trunk when you’re ready to close it. The hazards lights will blink to indicate that it’s been successfully connected.
In contrast to other smart keys, the Jaguar Smart Key’s battery won’t require any replacement. However, you might be able to notice that the range of your key fob starts to decrease, and it won’t respond to commands immediately. When this happens, it is recommended to replace the battery as quickly as possible.
Panic Alarm
With your Jaguar Smart Key, you can quickly turn off your car alarm if it’s playing at a high volume. This feature, called the panic button, might seem straightforward but it can come in handy in certain circumstances.
To activate the panic mode of your vehicle simply press the button on your Smart Key with a headlamp symbol three times within three seconds. It will turn on your vehicle’s lights for a duration of 25 seconds and then sound the alarm five times in order to discourage an offender. When you press the button again, it turns off the alarm in case of panic.
You can also make use of the Jaguar Activity Key without the Smart Key inside to lock and unlock the vehicle. Simply slip the Activity Key onto your wrist, close all doors, turn off your engine, and then hold the Activity Key against the Jaguar emblem on your tailgate. Your vehicle will then be locked and your hazard lights will flash to indicate that the vehicle is secure.
If the battery in the Smart Key fob is low, you will hear a sound warning and see “SMART KEY Battery Low” displayed in the center of the display. If you’re required to replace the battery, remove the chrome cover from the key fob, then take out the CR2032 battery and replace it with a fresh one that is facing towards the upwards.
Improved Security
Jaguar’s keyless entry feature 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. G28CarKeys employs a proximity sensor that will locate your key fob as you drive towards the vehicle. It will open and deactivate the security system when you grasp the handle. This feature is especially useful for drivers who have lost their keys while driving or who have to carry bags, keys and children before taking a drive to work.
You can also secure your Jaguar with its touchscreen. Press the lock icon once to secure your car and activate the alarm. Or press it twice to double-lock your vehicle. This stops the vehicle from being locked or re-opened if anyone smashes the window.
InControl Remote’s Guardian Mode can be used to further increase the security of your Jaguar. This feature will notify your smartphone when it detects any unusual movement of your vehicle. If the vehicle is tampered with the vehicle, an alert will be sent to your mobile phone so that you can inform police immediately. This feature can help protect your Jaguar against theft and is accessible on the majority of E-PACE F-PACE and I-PACE models.
Convenience
A Jaguar smart key can lock your car, without you to turn the knob, allowing you to leave keys in a bag or pocket. It can also remotely begin your vehicle, allowing you to drive away to your Rumson or Colts Neck commute already warmed or cooling.
This feature is especially helpful for those who love the outdoors and do not want to risk putting their car keys in it when hiking or biking. Your smart key can also be used to alter your car’s temperature as well as seat settings. This lets you modify the settings of your Jaguar before you even get inside.
While Jaguar’s smart keys are more secure than a standard key fob, you need to be careful when using it in public spaces such as gas stations or restaurants. They transmit a low-frequency signal that could be picked up by others and used to unlock or even start the car.
Fortunately, this is a simple to avoid by using the remote start system only when you are sure you are in a secure area and that no one else can see your smart key. You can also trigger the alarm from afar which will sound loud enough to scare away any possible thieves. You can also add the Activity Key to your smart key to avoid having to carry a key fob while you’re on the trail or mountain biking.
