Low Frequency (LF) Antennas
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Four LF antennas for the passive start system are positioned in the following locations:
- On the instrument panel cross-car beam, behind the center stack carriers.
- In the floor console, under the stowage compartment.
- On the rear floor, under the trims of the rear side of the luggage compartment.
- Under the rear bumper.
The KVM (Keyless Vehicle Module) transmits an LF signal via the antennas which is received by the smart key. The smart key then responds by transmitting a RF (Radio Frequency) signal, which is received by the RF receiver and passed to the KVM for authorization.
