In this video, we will see where to find the slot to insert the key to start the Jaguar XF MK1. If you are not familiar with the vehicle, it can be a bit difficult to locate the key slot, as it is not easily accessible, and you would not think to look for it where it is positioned.

In most cases, it is near the steering wheel or in the central console, either at the top or in the middle, close to the gear lever.

However, you need to look for it on the left side of the steering wheel, at the bottom of the dashboard, near the driver's door and just above the EOBD port. Here, you will find the key slot, which must be inserted fully for the vehicle to start.
