10 Healthy Jaguar Key Replacement Habits
The Jaguar Activity Key Eliminates the Need to Carry Your Primary Key
The Jaguar Activity Key is an ultra-lightweight wristband that allows users to carry only their primary key fob. It's ideal for things such as hiking, boating and running errands in Huntington Harbor.
To activate it, switch your vehicle off, and keep your usual key fob in the car. Press and hold the tailgate button for 30 seconds to activate the Activity Key antennae.
Locking and unlocking your vehicle
The last thing you need to do when you're out and about is take a few minutes to search through your pockets or purse to find your Jaguar keyfob. The good news is that the new Jaguar XE has technology that removes this hassle from Rumson and Colts Neck. It's called the Activity Key and is a light wristband that allows you to unlock and lock your car. It does this by recognizing a standard 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 hold it up against the Jaguar "J" emblem on the rear of the tailgate of your vehicle. After a few seconds, the hazard lights will flash to signal that your vehicle is locked and secure.
The Activity Key is approximately the size of a Fitbit brand sports-activity monitor, and is sweat- and water-resistant. It has a wristband extension that can be adjusted to fit the various 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 assist you in upgrading your vehicle with a $1200 Convenience Pack that comes with a tailgate with a power that can be closed and opened automatically, as well as an electric-folding heated mirror in the door with aft lights to increase visibility.
Locking your vehicle even when you're not driving it
The Jaguar Activity Key allows you to go on outdoor activities like mountain biking, ski and kayaking in Glen Cove without having to carry around a traditional keyfob. Instead of having your key fob dangling in your pocket while engaging in these activities, the Activity Key is a lightweight wristband that allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle even when you aren't inside of it.
To utilize the Jaguar Activity Key to unlock your vehicle without being in it, first ensure that the doors are closed and that the tailgate is opened. Then press the release button on the tailgate to activate the Jaguar Activity Key antennae, and then place your wristband against the letter "J" in the Jaguar logo. Once you've done this, your car will unlock and the hazard light will turn on.
This method is more convenient for modern vehicles that have locks for doors that are powered by the armrest. In older cars, you will require wire or a rod hanger for clothes into the space between the window frames on the front door and the body. This way, you can move or press the door's flipper to open it or button to open it. Once you've opened the door you can use your wristband to activate all of the vehicle's other buttons.
Storing your key fob inside your vehicle
One method to avoid messing around with your key fob is to simply put it in your vehicle. Whether you have it in a pocket or on your belt, or just close to the console, you can easily gain access to your vehicle without the need to use the hassle of a complicated locking system. Just make sure that your Jaguar XE has sensed the key fob prior to attempting to open the door or lock it and you'll be good to go!
The other benefit of storing your key fob in your vehicle is that you can use it to activate the panic button. This feature is intended to scare off criminals away from your vehicle when you are in a private location, like parking garages, so that it allows you time to act. The alarm will sound when you press the button, and this should deter criminals.
It's likely that you'll need to replace the battery of your key fob in your Wichita vehicle when you notice a decrease in its effective range. Your Jaguar vehicle's Message Center might also display the message SMART KEY BATTERY LOSS, so you can make steps to fix the problem. To replace the battery, simply slide or remove the fob cover and use the emergency key blade to separate the body. Install a new CR2032 with the positive side facing up and then replace the cover. Make sure that it clicks firmly into the correct position.
