Jaguar Smart Key allows you to lock or unlock your car via a smart key fob. It comes with several added features to make everyday driving more enjoyable and convenient.
Jaguar offers two types of Smart Key systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys perform the same functions as traditional keys, like locking or unlocking them, as well as remote start.

It also provides a quick and easy method of controlling the basic functions of your car like turning on the headlamps or activating the panic alarm.
To use your Jaguar Smart Key, simply walk towards your vehicle with the fob in your bag or pocket and it will be able to detect it. Take any door handle and unlock your XE after it is in range. Once inside press the start button and put your foot on the brake to start the engine.
