except the starter motor are
activated. The key remains in this
position when driving. III.

Security and Locks 2 - 5
Note:
1. The key transmitter may not operate correctly in areas which are subject to
interference from other radio
equipment operating on the same
frequency. Interference may emanate
from sources such as amateur radio,
telecommunications devices, medical
equipment, and other remote controls
or alarms. Where such interference is
experienced operate the key
transmitter as close as possible to the
vehicle, or use the key in the drivers
door lock.
2. All buttons on the key transmitter will not operate if a key is in the ignition
switch, however, if the doors, hood or
luggage compartment are open, only
button ( D) will not operate.
Each integrated key will operate all the
locks on your vehicle.
Additional integrated key transmitters
can be ordered from your Jaguar Retailer.
See Additional keys on page 2 - 7. Care of key transmitters
The key transmitters must be treated with
care. Do not expose to extremes of heat,
dust, humidity or fluids. Do not leave the
transmitter exposed to direct sunlight.
The battery is the only serviceable part.
Caution: Should a key transmitter be
lost, a new one can be obtained and
programmed to the vehicle by a
Jaguar Retailer, who will ask for proof
of vehicle ownership. It is advisable
to notify a Retailer as soon as a key
transmitter is lost or stolen and have
the remaining key transmitter(s)
reprogrammed. This will then
prevent the lost or stolen key
transmitter from being used to
disarm and unlock the vehicle.
Note:
Retailers keep a log of all enquiries
for replacement keys and notify
Jaguar Cars Ltd. of any such requests.
