The letter and illustration have been mailed to your Jaguar Car Sales Manager and Sales Representatives for sending to your Jaguar owners. Please ensure that all Service personnel are aware of the problems that can occur when the green key is used as an everyday driving key.
Dear....
We have become aware of an occurrence experienced by a few Jaguar owners who are not familiar with the functions of each of the keys provided for both sedans and S-types.
Each of the keys supplied with the cars has been designed to perform a number of functions and to afford the greatest security for your car and its contents. The key sets are pictured on the next page.
A green plastic headed key is included in both. it is meant to be given to a parking attendant or valet to allow access to the passenger compartment and enable the car to be driven. This key will lock and unlock the doors and combined steering lock/ignition switch. it can also be used to lock the luggage and glove compartments, but cannot unlock them!
For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you do not drive your Jaguar with only the green key in your possession. Without a black plastic headed key you will not have access to luggage or other personal items in either compartment should you use the green key to lock them. Most important of all, you will not be able to access the spare tire and tire changing equipment.
This situation can be particularly inconvenient if you are away from home. if this happens to you, Royal Charter Care Roadside Assistance will not be able to open your trunk or glovebox due to the specialized security aspects of these keys. Forced entry into these compartments will require expensive repairs and/or lock replacements.
During this vacation season, you may want to obtain extra copies of your key set. Commonly available key cutting equipment will not be capable of providing spare or replacement Jaguar keys. We would be happy to order any additional keys you may require before the need arises.
