LF Antenna
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Three LF antennae for the passive start system are positioned in the following locations:
- Behind the center console, below the heater assembly and audio modules
- In the floor console, between the driver and passenger seats, and below the start control module
- On the battery tray.
NOTE:
On vehicles with the passive entry system, three additional antennae are used. One integrated into the rear bumper and one in each door handle assembly. These are only used by the passive entry system and have no function in the passive start system.
The keyless vehicle module transmits an LF signal via the antennae which is received by the smart key. The smart key then responds by transmitting a RF signal, which is received by the RF receiver and passed to the keyless vehicle module for authorization.
