Jaguar X-Type Security
General
The Jaguar X Type is equipped with a vehicle immobilisation system.
It is activated and deactivated when the key is inserted or removed from the
ignition switch barrel respectively, an electronic transponder fitted in
each key is matched to the vehicle security system.
When the key is placed in the ignition barrel the vehicle electronics
recognises the transponder in the key (NOT THE KEY FOB), and allows the
engine to be started.
An incorrect un-matched key may still turn within the ignition barrel but
the engine cannot be started. When an unmatched key is turned to position
II, it will cause the alarm security indicator on the center console to
continuously flash, the engine will not start.
Keys
This vehicle is supplied with two integrated keys (key blade with
the key fob) The key number is recorded on a plastic tag, which
is attached to each key, if these are lost your local Jaguar dealership will
be able to supply replacement keys, but you will need to provide documents
to confirm ownership of the vehicle.
Defective key fobs can be separated from the key and replaced, but will
need to be re-matched to the car security system, this is a fairly simple
process.
Note: When obtaining replacement key fobs ensure that the frequency
is correct, UK cars require a 433 MHz transponder US and some European vehicle
will require 315 MHz transponders.
The engine Immobiliser can ONLY be de-activated by use of one of the two
pre programmed keys for the car. Replacement keys must be programmed into
the security system by Jaguar.
The vehicle access security system is controlled remotely by using an encrypted
rf signal, the battery-operated transmitter is activated by pressing one
of the operating buttons on the key fob, Multiple key fobs can be programmed
locally.
Unlocks and disarms the vehicle.
European and UK:-The alarm system will not be
fully armed unless the vehicle is double-locked.

feature and sounds the panic alarm.
