What is the Jaguar Smart Key?

Jaguar Smart Key allows you to lock or unlock your car by using a smart key fob. It also comes with many additional features that can make your daily drives more enjoyable and easier.

Jaguar offers two types of Smart Key Systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys have the same functions like traditional keys, which include locking and unlocking as well as remote start. However the Display Key includes a tiny LCD color touchscreen that displays various information about the vehicle such as status updates for the engine, navigation and more. It is also a simple and quick method to control the basic functions of your car, such as turning on the headlights or activating the panic alarms.

To use your Jaguar Smart Key, simply drive up to your car with the fob in your purse or pocket and it will be able to detect it. Once it is within range, pulling any door handle will unlock your XE and deactivate the security system. Once inside, you can press the start button to start the engine, and then put your foot on the brakes to begin driving around Rumson and Colts Neck.

How does the Jaguar Smart Key function with keyless entry

The Jaguar Smart Key, unlike traditional key fobs which require you to insert them into a slot on your Jaguar SUV, can unlock the doors automatically when the Smart Key is within 39 inches. You can also turn on the lights on your headlights and taillights will illuminate with a delay, which you can select from a selection of options.

The Smart Key can also be used for controlling the climate control. You can push the unlock button to open windows and the sunroof. The air conditioning will close when you close the windows. If you hold the button to lock, you will be able to turn on the seat vents to keep your passengers cool.

Your trunk can also be opened using the Jaguar Smart Key. The Jaguar XE will detect the key fob when you press it against the handle of the door. You can then open the trunk lid with the Jaguar Smart Key without reaching into your purse or pockets.

Jaguar's security systems meet stringent industry standards, and are considered 'Superior' quality by Thatcham, the UK insurance research center. The Jaguar Smart Key, which is part of the system, meets the same standards of security as other components like the keyless ignition switch.

How do I program my Jaguar Smart Key?

If your Jaguar X Type key fob is beginning to lose battery, it may be time to replace the battery. This is a typical issue for those who frequently use their keyfobs or participate in sports that require active participation. This process is easier than you think. This is also a good option if you're planning to add an additional key fob to your car.

Jaguar X Type key fobs come with a compact battery that is easily accessible and you can replace with the standard CR2032 coin cells. You can find these in most pharmacies and home improvement stores. Slide the chrome cover of the key fob to reveal the keys made of metal. Use the emergency key to disengage the body from fob. Insert a new CR2032. Be careful not to touch the bottom or top of the battery, as this can lower the life of the battery and cause corrosion contacts.

When the key is replaced the fob will have to be programmed. This can be done using the OBD port of your vehicle. It is essential to note that all key fobs have to be reprogrammed at the same time, and that any previously programmed keys will no longer work on your vehicle. To program a new key fob, connect the newly programmed key to the OBD port and follow the onscreen instructions.

How do I change the battery in my Jaguar Smart Key

If you've noticed recently that the key fob's effectiveness range has decreased, it's a good indication that the battery should be replaced. The message center may display SMART KEY low battery to alert you that a new jaguar key fob battery is needed.

The Jaguar key fob is replaceable by sliding the chrome cover, then releasing the emergency key blade and prying the body open. Slide the key in the metal and use it as lever to open the key case. Remove the old CR2032 battery and insert a brand new one with the positive side facing upwards. Snap the case back into its place and replace the chrome cover.

Once the replacement battery is installed it is time to test the key fob to make sure everything is working exactly as it should. If the low-battery indication appears on the new battery, it could be due to moisture or oil on your hands. Try using a cloth without lint to prevent this issue.
