How a Jaguar Smart Key Works

Jaguar smart key lets you to lock and unlock the vehicle from afar. Like all electronic devices, it requires electricity - supplied by batteries.

If your Smart Key battery is beginning to degrade, your vehicle may signal this by an increase in the range of its signals. The message center can also show an alert "SMART-KEY BATTERY LOW".

Keyless Entry

With this feature, you'll be able 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 triggers your XE's automatic opening. When you are near the vehicle, just grasp any door handle it will be unlocked and then disarm. When you leave your vehicle you can lock it with the door handle or by pressing the key fob.

The technology also enables you to use your Jaguar XE's Powered Gesture Trunk Lid feature. You can unlock the trunk by a gesture. This is great for carrying groceries, luggage or sporting equipment around Gilbert without reaching for your wallet or purse. This is a fantastic option for those who spend their time hauling gear around Gilbert and get tired of using their hands.

When you're ready to close your trunk, simply hold the Activity Key up against it. The hazard lights will flash to indicate that it's been successfully connected.

In contrast to other smart keys, the Jaguar Smart Key's battery won't need replacement. You might notice that the range of your key fob is decreasing and it will not respond immediately to commands. Replace the battery as soon you notice this.

Panic Alarm

With your Jaguar Smart Key, you can quickly turn off your car alarm if it's playing at a maximum volume. The panic button is a basic function that can be beneficial in certain situations.

Press the Smart Key button with a symbol of a headlamp three times in three seconds to trigger the panic mode. It will activate the vehicle's lights for a duration of 25 seconds and sound the alarm five times to deter a criminal. The button is pressed again to turn off the alarm that sounds the panic.

Alternately, you can make use of the Jaguar Activity Key to lock and unlock your vehicle, without the traditional Smart Key fob inside. Simply place the Activity Key on your wrist, switch off the engine and close all doors and then hold your Activity Key up to the Jaguar emblem on the tailgate. Your vehicle will then be locked, and your hazards lights will flash to signal that the vehicle is secure.

If you notice that your Smart Key fob battery is getting low, you should hear a beep warning and see the message "SMART Key Battery Low" in the center of your vehicle's display. If you have to replace the battery, simply remove the chrome cover that covers the key fob, then slide out the CR2032 battery and replace it with a fresh one that is facing towards the upwards.

Increased Security

Jaguar offers keyless entry features on many of its models that will eliminate the need to mess around with your keys before you head out for your Irvine commute. The XE makes use of a proximity sensor to detect your key fob when you drive towards the vehicle. It will open and disarm the security system when you grab the handle. This feature is especially beneficial for drivers who lose their keys on the way or who have to carry bags keys, keys, and children prior to getting to work.

You can also lock your Jaguar by using its touchscreen. Press the lock icon once to lock your car and activate the alarm. Or press it twice to lock your vehicle twice. G28CarKeys stops your vehicle from being locked or running even if someone smashes the window.

InControl Remote's Guardian Mode can be used to enhance the security of your Jaguar. This feature will send a notice to your phone if it detects any unusual movement of your vehicle. If the vehicle is tampered with, an alert will be sent to your mobile device so that you can alert police immediately. This feature protects your Jaguar against theft and is available on the majority of E-PACE I-PACE and F-PACE models.





Convenience

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

This feature is especially convenient for outdoor enthusiasts and sports who don't want to put their keys in their car while they're biking or hiking. You can also make use of your smart key to control your car's climate control and seat settings, which allows you to customize your car before you even step inside your Jaguar.

Although Jaguar's smart keys are more secure than traditional key fobs you should still be careful when using them at public places like gas stations or restaurants. Since they transmit a low frequency signal, others could receive the signal and open or start your car from a distance.

This can be avoided by only using the remote-start option when you know you are in a safe area and no anyone else can see your smart key. You can also activate the alarm from afar which will sound loudly enough to scare away potential thieves. You can also add the Activity Key to your smart key to eliminate the need to bring keys when you're hiking or mountain biking.
