PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The security system and entry to the vehicle are
controlled by the Jaguar Smart Key remote
control. All doors and the luggage
compartment can be locked and unlocked
using the remote control buttons.
Keyless Entry is an enhancement of the Jaguar
Smart Key and allows entry to the vehicle,
without the need to press a button. Full security
integrity of the vehicl e is still maintained.
See KEYLESS ENTRY (page 33).
The Jaguar Smart Key also allows the vehicle to
be started without the use of a starter key.
See KEYLESS STARTING (page 133).
Two handsets, incorporating a detachable
emergency key blade, are supplied. Separate
emergency key blades are available from
Dealers. The emergency key blade number is recorded
on an attached label. Peel off the label and
attach it to the designated area on the Security
Card, supplied in the lite
rature pack. Keep the
Security Card safe, but not in the vehicle.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO
FREQUENCIES
Note: The radio frequency used by your remote
control may be used by other devices. For
example: amateur radios , medical equipment,
wireless headphones, or other remote control
devices. This may cause the frequency to be
jammed, and prevent your remote control from
operating correctly.
Environmental conditions can affect the
operation of remote controls and the operating
range may vary considerably depending on the
vehicle's location.
CAUTION
Remove all Jaguar Smart Keys from the
vehicle when it is le ft unattended. This
will ensure the vehicle is left in a secure
condition.
If a Jaguar Smart Key is lost, a
replacement can be obtained and
programmed to the vehi cle by your Dealer.
Notify your Dealer as soon as a Jaguar Smart
Key is lost or stolen and have the remaining
Jaguar Smart Key(s) reprogrammed.

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
