2023 JAGUAR I-PACE ENTERING THE VEHICLE
SMART KEY OPERATION
The smart key system uses Radio Frequency (RF) transmissions that could interfere with implanted medical devices. To avoid any possibility of interference between the system and the device, make sure that the device is kept at a safe distance. The distance should be at least 9 in (22 cm) away from any transmitter. In rare circumstances, interference may cause an implanted medical device to malfunction. Malfunction to an implanted medical device may cause death. See SMART KEY TRANSMITTER LOCATIONS.
To prevent accidental or unauthorized operation, never leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. The vehicle can be operated when the smart key is inside the vehicle. Unauthorized operation may lead to serious injury or death.
The operational range of the smart key varies considerably, depending on atmospheric conditions and interference from other transmitting devices.
If any door, or the tailgate, is unlocked ten times within a short period, the locking latch disables for approximately 1 minute.
A replacement smart key can be obtained only from a retailer/authorized repairer. The retailer/authorized repairer requires proof of identification and ownership. Notify a retailer/authorized repairer immediately if a smart key is lost or stolen.
The security system disarms automatically when the vehicle is unlocked with a smart key. However, if a door is not opened within 40 seconds, the security system re-engages the locks and the alarm (where fitted) re-arms. Automatic re-locking and re-arming is a precautionary action to protect the vehicle when it is unintentionally left unlocked.
The vehicle is supplied with two smart keys. The smart keys act as remote controls for the locking and alarm systems. The smart keys allow the vehicle to be locked, unlocked, and driven without the use of a conventional key. Each smart key also has an emergency key housed behind a slide-off cover. See KEYLESS ENTRY, KEYLESS LOCKING and STARTING THE VEHICLE.
