It's an anti-theft device used to lock out (disable) the radio in the event that it is stolen. You need the code to unlock it. The code is provided to the owner when purchased and should be with the original paperwork. If you can't find it, you may have to take the car in to a Jaguar dealer and have them unlock it. Good luck.
When new Jaguar put the radio code on a sticker on the underside of the hood sometimes these were never removed, so look there for a four digit code
Manual lever is located by license plate lights, turn key to unlock position and press chrome lever up.
Use your key to turn the lock on the rear of the vehicle.
To open a Jaguar XJ, use the key fob to unlock the doors remotely by pressing the unlock button. If the key fob isn't available, you can use the manual key hidden within the fob to unlock the driver’s door. Additionally, if the vehicle's battery is dead, you may need to access the manual lock mechanism or jump-start the battery to regain power. Always refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions related to your model year.
How to unlock vu with flat battery
To unlock a jammed boot on an X-Type Jaguar, first, ensure the vehicle's battery is charged, as a dead battery can prevent the boot from opening. Use the key fob or the interior boot release button to attempt to open it. If that fails, you can access the boot via the rear seats by folding them down and manually releasing the lock mechanism. If the issue persists, consider consulting a professional for further assistance.

To disable the alarm on a 1995 Jaguar XJ12, you can typically use the key fob to unlock the doors, which should deactivate the alarm. If the fob is not working, insert the key into the driver's side door and turn it to unlock the car. In some cases, you may need to disconnect the car battery for a few minutes to reset the alarm system. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your model.
You have to take the car to the dealer, along with your registration (to prove you own the car). They can look up the code. Most dealers don't charge for that. By the way, in the US Jaguar disabled the radio code so you don't need to enter it if your battery dies. So I'm assuming you're in Europe.
I believe you just lock and unlock it using the keyless entry, if available. If not, try the power locks.
