The Jaguar Activity Key Eliminates the Need to Carry Your Primary Key
The Jaguar Activity Key is a lightweight wristband that eliminates the need for you to carry your primary key fob. It's great for activities like hiking, boating, and running the errands of Huntington Harbor.
To use it, turn off your vehicle and keep your regular key fob inside the cabin. Press and hold the tailgate release button to turn on the Activity Key antennae for 30 seconds.
Unlocking and locking your vehicle
The last thing you want to do while on the go is spend a few minutes searching through your pockets or purse for your Jaguar keyfob. The good news is that your new Jaguar XE has technology that can eliminate this hassle in Rumson and Colts Neck. It's known as the Activity Key, it's a lightweight wristband that can unlock and lock your vehicle. It does this by recognizing the standard Jaguar smart key fob that is still inside the car. Simply press the tailgate release button to activate the antenna on the Activity Key, and then place it against the Jaguar "J" symbol on the back of your vehicle's tailgate. After a short time, the hazard light will flash to indicate that your vehicle is locked and secure.
The Activity Key is approximately the size of a Fitbit brand sports-activity monitor. It is sweat-proof and water-resistant. It has a wristband extension that can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of sizes. It's simple to use, and Consumer Guide tests found it to function well.
Contact Jaguar Monmouth if you would like to add Keyless Entry to the Jaguar XE. We can upgrade your car to a $1200 Convenience Package that includes a power tailgate which shuts and opens automatically and a heated power-fold door mirror with approach light to increase visibility.
Unlocking the vehicle when you aren't in it
The Jaguar Activity Key frees you from carrying an ordinary key fob when you take on outdoor adventures like kayaking, mountain biking, and skiing in Glen Cove. G28CarKeys lets you lock and unlock your car while you're engaged in these outdoor activities.
To use the Jaguar Activity Key without being inside your vehicle, ensure that the doors are shut and the tailgate is open. Then, press the tailgate release button to activate the Jaguar Activity Key antennae and then put your wristband against the letter "J" in the Jaguar logo. After this is done, the hazard lights will light up and your car will be unlocked.
This method is easier to use on newer cars equipped with power door locks with lock buttons on the armrest. In older vehicles, you will need to put wire or a rod hanger to the space between one of the window frames on the front door and the body. You can unlock the door by sliding it open or pressing the button or flipper on the car. After you have opened the car's door, you can use the wristband to operate the other buttons.
The key fob you have stored inside your vehicle
One method to avoid messing around with your key fob is to put it in your vehicle. If you keep it in your pocket, on your belt, or close to the console, you can easily gain access to your vehicle without having to go through an intricate locking system. Make sure your Jaguar XE has sensed the key fob prior to attempting to open an entrance or close it and you'll be good to go!
You can also utilize your key fob to activate your panic button. This feature is intended to deter criminals from your vehicle if you are in a private area, such as the parking garage, which means that you have time to act. The alarm will sound when you press the button, which should deter criminals.
When you notice that the range of your Wichita key fob is diminishing it's time to replace it. Your Jaguar vehicle's Message Center might also display the message SMART KEY BATTERY LOSS, to help you determine the cause of the problem. To replace the battery, you will need to slide or take off the fob cover, and then utilize the emergency key blade. Then, you can insert a brand new CR2032 battery with the positive side facing upwards, and then replace the cover. Make sure it clicks securely.
Linking your keys to your vehicle
Jaguar models come with advanced technology that can enhance your driving experience. One example of this is keyless entry which gives you the ability to unlock your vehicle without fumbling with keys or scouring your pockets. This feature can be activated by simply placing your smart key fob next to the Jaguar XE. It will detect it automatically. When you pull the door handle to open the door it will open and disable the alarm, which allows you to begin your drive in Newport Beach or Irvine.
