The Jaguar Activity Key Eliminates the Need to Carry Your Primary Key
The Jaguar Activity Key is an ultra-lightweight wristband, which allows you to not carry your primary key fob. It's ideal for activities like hiking, boating and running errands around Huntington Harbor.
To use it, turn off your vehicle and keep your normal key fob in the cabin. Press and hold the tailgate release button in order to activate the Activity Key antennae for 30 seconds.
Locking and unlocking your vehicle
The last thing you'll need to do while on the go is spend a few minutes looking through your pockets or purse for your Jaguar keyfob. The good news is that the new Jaguar XE has technology that removes this hassle from Rumson and Colts Neck. It's called the Activity Key and is a lightweight wristband which can unlock and lock your car. It does this by recognizing the conventional Jaguar smart key fob that's inside the vehicle. Press the tailgate release button to activate the antenna of the Activity Key. Then you must hold it against the Jaguar "J" which is located on the rear tailgate of your vehicle. After a short time the hazard lights flash to show that your vehicle has been locked and secure.
The Activity Key is roughly the same size as a Fitbit sports-activity monitor. It's also waterproof and sweat-proof. It even comes with a convenient wristband extension to fit a wide range of sizes. It's user-friendly, and Consumer Guide tests showed it to work well.

We can upgrade your vehicle to a $1200 Convenience Pack that includes a powered tailgate that automatically shuts and opens as well as a heated power-fold door mirror with approach light to improve visibility.
Unlocking the vehicle when you are not inside it
The Jaguar Activity Key frees you from the need to carry the traditional key fob when you're out on adventures like mountain biking, kayaking, and skiing in Glen Cove. The Activity Key wristband lets you lock and unlock your vehicle while you are doing these outdoor activities.
To make use of the Jaguar Activity Key to unlock your vehicle while not in it, first ensure that the doors are closed and that the tailgate is opened. Press the tailgate release to activate the Jaguar Activity Key and then place your wristband against the letter "J". Once you've done this your car will open and the hazard lights will flash.
This is a simple method to use on newer cars equipped with power door locks and lock buttons on the armrest. In older vehicles, you'll need to find something like a rod or a straight wire clothes hanger can be inserted into the space between the top of one of the front-door window frames and the body. This way, you can move or press the door lock flipper of your vehicle or button to open it. After you've opened the doors and you're ready to use your wristband to operate the buttons in the vehicle.
Storing The Key Lab in your vehicle
Put your key fob in your vehicle to avoid having to look for it. Whether you have it in a pocket, around your belt, or just close to the console, you will be able to easily gain access to your vehicle without having to go through a complicated locking system. Make sure that your Jaguar XE has sensed the key fob prior to trying to open an entrance or close it and you'll be good to go!
You can also use your key fob in order to activate your panic button. This feature is intended to deter criminals away from your vehicle when you are in a private location, like a parking garage, so that it gives you time to react. The alarm will sound when you press the button, which should dissuade criminals.
When you find that the range of your Wichita key fob is decreasing, it's probably time to replace it. The Message Center in your Jaguar vehicle might also show SMARTKEY LOW, so you can resolve the problem. To replace the battery, slide or snap the fob cover off and make use of the emergency key blade to remove the body. Install a new CR2032 with the positive side facing up, then replace the cover. Make sure it clicks securely into the right position.
The pairing of your key with your vehicle
Jaguar models are fitted with cutting-edge technology that will make your driving experience more enjoyable. One example is keyless entry which allows you the freedom to unlock your vehicle without having to search for keys or scouring your pockets. To use this feature, simply place your smart key fob near the Jaguar XE, and it will automatically detect it. When you grab the door handle the alarm will go off and the vehicle will be unlocked.
You can secure your car using the Jaguar Activity Key for even more security. This wristband is perfect for those who take on active excursions like mountain biking or hiking in Glen Cove. Just press the tailgate release button to activate the antenna, and then secure your wristband against the Jaguar "J" to lock the vehicle and disable your primary key fob until you return.
