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.

Card, supplied in the lite
rature pack. Keep the
Security Card safe, but not in the vehicle.
