1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and maintenance of your new Jetour Smart Remote Key. This is an aftermarket replacement key designed to function with various Jetour models, including the T2, T1, T3, TX, and Dashing Traveller. It features keyless entry and remote control functions for your vehicle.
2. Setup and Programming
The Jetour Smart Remote Key requires professional setup to function correctly with your vehicle. This process involves:
- Chip Decoding: The key's internal chip must be decoded and matched to your vehicle's security immobilizer (immo) system.
- Remote Programming: The remote functions (lock, unlock, etc.) need to be programmed to communicate with your car's receiver.
- Key Blade Cutting: If your key includes a physical blade, it must be precisely cut to match your vehicle's ignition and door locks.
It is crucial that these steps are performed by a qualified and experienced automotive locksmith. Attempting to program or cut the key yourself without the necessary tools and expertise may damage the key or your vehicle's systems.
3. Operating Your Smart Remote Key

- Remote Start/Panic Button ('): This button may serve different functions depending on your vehicle model.

Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific functionality.
4. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Jetour Smart Remote Key, follow these care guidelines:
- Avoid Water Exposure: Do not expose the key to water or excessive moisture, as this can damage the internal electronics.
- Protect from Drops: Avoid dropping the key, especially on hard surfaces, as impact can cause internal components to break.
- Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave the key in direct sunlight or in places with extreme temperatures (e.g., on the dashboard in summer), as this can degrade the battery and plastic casing.
- Battery Replacement: While no specific battery information is provided, remote keys typically use a small coin-cell battery (e.g., CR2032). If the remote's range decreases or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement. Consult your vehicle's manual or a locksmith for the correct battery type and replacement procedure.
- Cleaning: Clean the key with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
5. Troubleshooting

- Ensure you are within range of the vehicle.
- Verify that the key has been correctly programmed to your vehicle by a professional locksmith.
- Reduced Remote Range:
- Replace the battery.
- Environmental interference (e.g., strong radio signals, large metal structures) can affect range.
