When Should I Replace the Jaguar Key Fob Battery?

There are two ways that Los Angeles drivers will know it’s time for a Jaguar key fob battery replacement. In newer models, your Message Center will send an alert saying your “smart key battery is low.” Another sign is the effectiveness of your Jaguar key fob will diminish.

How to Open Your Jaguar Key Fob Cover

Before replacing the key fob battery, you’ll need to know how to open it. To do so, you can:

• Remove your Jaguar key fob cover by pressing a button on the side of your fob to release the cover.
• Slide it back and pull it off. Doing so exposes your emergency key.
• Turn the key so that it points in the same direction as the arrow.
• Remove it, and use it to pry the key fob body off of the panel that conceals the battery.

Replacing a Dead Jaguar Key Fob Battery

With the battery exposed, make sure you have a fresh CR2032 available, as this is the battery required for your Jaguar key fob. Then:

• Remove the old battery. As you do so, press the upper positive terminal until it touches the negative grid. After recovering the terminal position, the positive contact should be firmly with the upper terminal.
• Put your new battery in with the positive side turned upward. Then, put your key fob back together.
• If your vehicle has passive entry, wait 10 minutes for the battery to recharge before you test your smart key out.
