How a Jaguar Smart Key Works
Jaguar smart key enables you to lock and unlock your vehicle from afar. Like all electronic devices, it's powered by a battery.
Your car could display a decrease in its effective range of signals if your Smart Key battery begins to go out of service. The message center may also show the alert "SMART KEY BATTERY LOW".
Keyless Entry
With this feature, you'll be in a position to enter your Jaguar without having to search through your pockets or purse. The system utilizes a proximity sensor to detect the Jaguar Smart Key, which will initiate the automatic opening of your XE. As you approach your vehicle, just grasp any door handle and it will unlock and arm itself automatically. After you leave your vehicle, you can lock it by pressing a button on the door handle or pressing the key fob.
You can also utilize the Powered Gesture trunk lid feature on your Jaguar XE. You can open the trunk using a gesture. This is ideal for carrying groceries, baggage, or sporting equipment around Gilbert without reaching for your wallet or purse. This is a wonderful feature for people who carry equipment around Gilbert frequently and do not wish to use their hands.
Hold the Activity Key against your trunk when you're ready close it. The hazard light will flash after it has been successfully connected.
The battery of the Jaguar Smart Key does not need to be replaced unlike other smart keys. However, you might observe that the range of the device starts to decrease, and it won't respond to commands immediately. When this happens, you need to replace the battery as quickly as possible.
Panic Alarm
With your Jaguar Smart Key, you can quickly shut off your car alarm when it is playing at a maximum volume. The panic button is a basic feature that can be useful in certain situations.
Press the Smart Key button with a headlamp symbol three times in three seconds to activate panic mode. It will turn on the vehicle's lights for a period of 25 seconds, and then sound the alarm five times in order to dissuade an offender. The button is pressed again to turn off the panic alarm.
You can also use the Jaguar Activity Key to lock and unlock your vehicle without having the conventional Smart Key fob inside. Just slip the Activity Key on your wrist, turn off the engine and shut all doors and hold your Activity Key up to the Jaguar emblem on the tailgate. The vehicle will be secured and the danger lights in your vehicle will flash to indicate that it's secure.
If your Smart Key fob battery is getting low, you'll hear a beep warning and see the message "SMART KEY BATTERY LOW" in the center of your vehicle's display. If you're looking to replace the battery, simply remove the chrome cover on the key fob, then take out the CR2032 battery and replace it with a fresh one facing upwards.
Enhanced Security
Jaguar's keyless entry feature is available on a range of models, which eliminates the need to fiddle 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 get to the car, and it will automatically unlock and arm your security when you reach for the door handle. This feature is particularly useful for drivers who tend to lose their keys when in the car or have to juggle several bags, keys, and children in the morning before heading off to work.
You can also secure Jaguar by using the touch screen. Press the lock icon once to secure your car and activate its alarm. Press it two times to lock the vehicle in two places. This ensures that your vehicle isn't unlocked or opened from inside, even if someone breaks a window to gain access.
InControl Remote's Guardian Mode can be used to enhance the security of your Jaguar. This feature will send an alert to your smartphone when it detects any unusual movement of your vehicle. The Keylab will be immediately sent to your smartphone if the vehicle has been damaged or altered. This allows you to immediately notify the police. This feature can help protect your Jaguar against theft and is available on the majority of E-PACE FACE and I-PACE models.
Convenience
Jaguar smart keys can secure your vehicle, without you needing to press the knob. This lets you keep your keys in your bag or pocket. It can also remotely start your vehicle so you can drive away to your Rumson or Colts Neck commute already warmed or chilled.
This feature is especially useful for outdoor enthusiasts who do not want to risk putting their keys in their car while hiking or biking. You can also make use of your smart key to regulate your car's climate controls and seat settings, which allows you to customize your car before you even enter your Jaguar.
While Jaguar's smart key may be more secure than a traditional key fob however, you must be aware when using it in public places like gas stations or restaurants. They transmit signals at low frequencies that could be picked up by others and used to unlock or start the vehicle.
Fortunately, this is simple to avoid by using the remote start feature only when you're confident that you're in a secure location and that no one else can see your smart key. You can also activate your alarm from a distance which will sound loud enough to scare away possible thieves. You can also add the Activity Key to your smart key to eliminate the need to bring keys when you're on the trail or mountain biking.
