Locking and unlocking your vehicle
The last thing you'll need to do when you're on-the-go is spend a few minutes looking through your pockets or purse to find your Jaguar keyfob. The good news is that your new Jaguar XE has technology that can eliminate this hassle in Rumson and Colts Neck.

Unlocking the vehicle when you aren't in it
The Jaguar Activity Key allows you to go on outdoor activities like mountain biking, skiing, and kayaking in Glen Cove without having to carry around the traditional keyfob. The Activity Key wristband lets you lock and unlock your vehicle while you're engaged in these outdoor activities.
To use the Jaguar Activity Key without being inside your vehicle, ensure the doors are closed and the tailgate has been opened. Then, press the release button on the tailgate to activate the Jaguar Activity Key antennae, and then, hold your wristband against the letter "J" in the Jaguar logo. After that the hazard lights will blink and your car will no longer be locked.
This method is simpler for modern vehicles that have locks for doors that are powered by the armrest. In older vehicles, you'll need to find something similar to rods or a straightened wire clothes hanger that can be inserted into the space between the top of one of the front-door window frames and its body. This means you can slide or push the door's flipper or button to unlock it. Once you've opened your door, you can use your wristband to activate all of the other buttons of the vehicle.
Storing your key fob inside your vehicle
Keep your key fob in your vehicle to avoid having to look for it. You can quickly access your vehicle by putting the key fob in your pocket on your belt, or inside the console. Make sure your Jaguar XE has sensed the key fob before you try to open the door or lock it, and you'll be good to go!
Another benefit of keeping your key fob in your vehicle is that you can use it to activate the panic button. This feature is designed to scare criminals away from your car in areas with no security, such as parking garages, so that you can have time to react appropriately. Simply press the button, and the alarm will blast that should be enough to deter criminals from carrying out any type of crime.
You'll know that it's time to replace the battery of your key fob in your Wichita vehicle when you notice an improvement in its range.

Then insert a new CR2032 battery, with the positive side facing upwards and then replace the cover and make sure it clicks securely.
The pairing of your car key with your key

The feature is activated by simply placing your smart key fob next to the Jaguar XE. It will detect it automatically.
