Hi Anthony Welcome to “the wonderful world of Jaguar”. I was glad to read you’re planning on keeping yours for a while 😁 It’s a weird thing that once bitten by the Jag bug, you can never quite get rid of it! I disappeared off to Lexus for a little while, but when I got the opportunity, I was straight back to a Jag. You’ll read of problems, frustrations and complaints galore, but nobody ever says “that’s it, I give in!” They usually just buy another Jag 😁 Have fun! All the best Si

Yes, this is correct. Had your wife stopped the car, she would not have been able to restart it. Furthermore, there would have been a warning on the dash to say the fob was missing from the car as she drove away.

Certainly possible in mine (2013). Key needs to be detected to start but once started it does not shut down if key is no longer detected, the consequences of that could be horrible.... 70 mph at nght in the rain in the outside lane of the M6! In mine you do get dashboard warning if contact with key is lost but the car continues to run. It detected the key when you started up, if the engine was still running it would continue even though the key was no longer detected and your wife drove off. If it then started up for your wife with no key present that would be diffeent. John
