How a Jaguar Smart Key Works

Jaguar smart key enables you to lock and unlock your vehicle from a distance. Like all electronic devices, it's powered by a battery.

Your car might show an increase in the range of signals if your Smart Key battery begins to die. G28CarKeys could also display the message "SMART KEY BATTERY LOW".

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 uses proximity sensors to detect the Jaguar Smart Key fob, which triggers your XE's automatic opening. As you approach your vehicle, just grasp any door handle it will be unlocked 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 make use of the Powered Gesture trunk lid feature on your Jaguar XE. You can open the trunk using a gesture. This is great for carrying groceries, baggage, or sporting equipment around Gilbert without reaching for your wallet or purse. This is a great feature for people who carry equipment around Gilbert all the time and don't need to reach for their hands.

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

The battery of the Jaguar Smart Key does not require replacement, unlike other smart keys. You may notice that the range of your key fob is decreasing and it does not respond to commands immediately. When this happens, you should replace the battery as quickly as possible.

Panic Alarm

If your car's alarm sounds at the top of its volume, you can swiftly stop it by using your Jaguar Smart Key. This feature, known as the panic button might seem straightforward however it can be useful in certain circumstances.


To activate the panic mode of your vehicle you need to press the button on your Smart Key with a headlamp symbol three times in three seconds. It will turn on your vehicle's lights for 25 seconds and sound the alarm five times to deter a criminal. Pressing the button again turns off the alarm in case of panic.

Alternately, you can utilize the Jaguar Activity Key to lock and unlock your car without the conventional Smart Key fob inside. Simply slip the Activity Key onto your wrist, close all doors, switch off your engine and hold the Activity Key against the Jaguar emblem on your tailgate. Your vehicle will then be locked and your warning lights will flash to indicate that the car is secured.

If your Smart Key fob battery is getting low, you should hear a warning sound and see the message "SMART KEY BATTERY LOW" in the center of your vehicle's display. If you're looking to replace the battery, remove the chrome cover that covers the key fob, then take out the CR2032 battery and replace it with a fresh one facing upwards.

Security Enhanced

Jaguar's keyless entry system is offered on a variety of models that eliminate the need to play with your keys as you prepare to leave for your Irvine commute. The XE utilizes proximity sensors to sense your key fob as you are near the car and will automatically unlock and arm your security when you grab the door handle. This feature is particularly useful for those who lose their keys while in the car or have to juggle several bags, keys, and kids in the morning before heading to work.

You can also secure your Jaguar with its touchscreen. Simply click the lock icon to lock your vehicle and activate its alarm or press it two times to "double-lock" your vehicle. This will ensure that the vehicle isn't unlocked or opened from inside even if someone breaks an entryway to gain access.

InControl Remote's Guardian Mode can be used to further enhance security of your Jaguar. This feature will send an alert to your smartphone when it detects any unusual movements of your vehicle. A notification will be sent directly to your smartphone in the event that your vehicle has been damaged or altered. This lets you immediately notify the police. This feature helps protect 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 keys in your pocket or bag. It also allows remote start of your car, allowing you to take off for your Rumson or Colts Neck commute with your car already cool or warm.

This feature is particularly useful for those who love the outdoors and aren't willing to leave the keys of their car in it when they go hiking or biking. You can also use your smart key to regulate your car's climate controls and seat settings, which allow you to customize your cabin before you enter your Jaguar.

Although Jaguar's smart keys are more secure than traditional keys, you should be aware when using them at public places, such as restaurants or gas stations. They transmit an extremely low-frequency signal that can be picked up by others and used to unlock or start the vehicle.

Fortunately, this is easy to avoid by using the remote start feature only when you're confident that you're in a secure area and that nobody else will see your smart key. You can also activate your alarm from a distance, that will be loud enough to frighten away possible thieves. You can also add an Activity Key to your smartkey to get rid of the need for the key fob while you're cycling or hiking.
