The Jaguar Activity Key Eliminates the Need to Carry Your Primary Key
The Jaguar Activity Key is a lightweight wristband that eliminates the requirement to carry your main key fob. It's perfect for activities such as boating, hiking and running errands in Huntington Harbor.
To activate it, you must shut off your vehicle and keep your normal key fob inside the cabin. Then, press and hold the tailgate release button to activate the Activity Key antennae for 30 seconds.
Unlocking and locking your vehicle
The last thing you need to do while on the go is take a few minutes to search through your purse or pockets for your Jaguar keyfob. The good news is that the new Jaguar XE has technology that will eliminate this hassle in Rumson and Colts Neck. Known as the Activity Key, it's a lightweight wristband that can unlock and lock your car. It works by recognizing the conventional Jaguar smart key fob that is still inside the vehicle. Simply press the tailgate release button to activate the antenna on the Activity Key and then place it against the Jaguar "J" emblem on the back of your vehicle's tailgate. After a few seconds, the hazard light will flash to indicate that your car is secured and locked.
The Activity Key is as big as the Fitbit sports-activity monitor. It is also waterproof and sweat-proof. It also has a handy wristband extension that accommodates various sizes. It's user-friendly, and Consumer Guide testing found it to work well.
Contact Jaguar Monmouth if you would like to add Keyless Entry to the Jaguar XE. We can upgrade your vehicle to a $1200 Convenience Pack which includes a tailgate powered that opens and shuts automatically, and a heated power-fold mirror in the door with a light for approaching for better visibility.
Unlocking the car when you are not in it
The Jaguar Activity Key frees you from carrying the traditional key fob when you take on outdoor adventures like kayaking, mountain biking, and skiing in Glen Cove. Rather than have your key fob dangling in your pocket while you're doing these activities, the Activity Key is a lightweight wristband that allows you to secure and unlock your vehicle even when you're out of it.
To make use of the Jaguar Activity Key to unlock your vehicle without having to be in it, first ensure that the doors are shut and that the tailgate is opened. Then, press the release button on the tailgate to activate the Jaguar Activity Key antennae and then put your wristband against the letter "J" in the Jaguar logo. After you have done this the car will be unlocked and the hazard light will turn on.
This method is simpler to apply on vehicles which have door locks that are powered and their lock buttons on the armrest. In older models, you'll have to find something similar to a rod or a straightened wire clothes hanger that can be inserted into the space between the top of one of the front door window frames and its body. This means that you can move or press the door lock flipper of your vehicle or button to unlock it. Once you've opened the car door then you can utilize the wristband for the other buttons.
Storing your key fob in your car
One way to avoid fumbling around with your key fob is to simply put it in your vehicle. It doesn't matter if it's in your pocket, on your belt, or just at your fingertips in the console, you can easily gain access to your vehicle without the need to use the hassle of a complicated locking system. Just ensure that your Jaguar XE has sensed the key fob before trying to open an entrance or close it, and you'll be good to go!
You can also use your key fob in order to activate your panic button. This feature is designed to deter criminals from your car when you are in a remote location, like an underground parking garage, so that you have time to respond. Just press the button and the alarm will blast, which should be enough to deter criminals from committing any crime.
When you notice that the range of your Wichita key fob is diminishing It's likely time to replace it. Your Jaguar vehicle's Message Center might also display the message SMART KEY BATTERY LIFE, to help you determine the cause of the issue. To replace the battery, slide or take off the fob cover and make use of the emergency key blade to remove the body. Install a new CR2032 with the positive side facing upwards, then replace the cover. Make sure it clicks firmly into the correct position.
The pairing of your key with your vehicle
Jaguar models come with advanced technology that enhances your driving experience. Keyless entry is just one example that lets you unlock your car without having to look for keys or fiddle with your pockets. This feature is activated by simply placing your smart key fob next to the Jaguar XE. It will detect it automatically. When you reach for the door handle the alarm will go off and the vehicle will be unlocked.
