Jaguar offers two kinds of Smart Key Systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys perform the same functions as traditional keys, including locking or unlocking them, as well as remote start. However, a Display Key comes with a small LCD color touchscreen that displays various vehicle information, including status updates for the engine, navigation and more. It also provides a quick and easy way to control the essential functions of your car like turning on the headlamps or activating the panic alarm.

The Jaguar Smart Key will detect the fob hidden in your bag or pocket as you get close to your vehicle. When it is within range, grabbing any door handle will automatically unlock your XE and disable the security system. Once inside, you can hit the start button to kick off your engine and then place your foot on the brake to start driving around Rumson and Colts Neck.
