compartment, and lock all the doors.
• Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.

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.

Garage Door Opener
Transceiver
The garage door opener transceiver is
located in the overhead console.
The transceiver can be programmed to
transmit the radio frequencies of up to
three different transmitters used to
activate garage doors, entry gates, home
lighting, security systems, or other radio
frequency operated devices.Although this section mainly describes
the procedures for the garage door
opener, it also equally applies to the
previously mentioned applications.
In some countries this feature is also
known as HomeLink
® Universal
Transceiver.
For information, or for assistance, contact
your Jaguar Retailer or the supplier by
phone or via the internet. For details
see Information and Assistance on
page 2 - 23.
!WARNING:
1. Do not use the transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks
the safety stop and reverse feature
as required by safety standards.
A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object, signalling
the door to stop and reverse, does
not meet current safety standards.
Using a garage door opener
without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death. 2. When programming the
transceiver to a garage door
opener or entry gate, make sure
that people, the vehicle and
objects are out of the way to
prevent potential harm or damage
as the gate or garage door will
activate during the programme.
3. This device may suffer from interference if operated in the
vicinity of a mobile or fixed station
transmitter. This interference is
likely to affect the hand-held
transmitter as well as the in-car
transceiver.
