DOCKING/UNDOCKING THE JAGUAR
SMART KEY
Docking the Jaguar Smart Key
During normal operation, it is not necessary to
dock the Jaguar Smart Key. However, if the
unlock button on the Smart Key fails to operate
and the vehicle has been unlocked using the
emergency key blade, it will be necessary to
dock the Jaguar Smart Key to deactivate and
disarm the alarm system.
The Smart Key should also be docked when the
vehicle is being towed, in order to prevent the
steering column from locking.
Insert the Jaguar Smart Key into the starter
control unit, located on the driver's side of the
vehicle, as shown.
Note: When docking the Jaguar Smart Key, it is
recommended that the emergency key blade is
left in place. The end of the key blade can then
be used as a handle, to pull the Smart Key from
the control unit when undocking.
