If you can get into the car, open the hood and connect a power source to a positive post on a fuse box.
Alternatively, do you not have a key entry in one of the trunk badges.

See attached to open your trunk.Do NOT use the under hood power points to start your Jaguar. Please follow the directions from the owners manual attached.

Unlike your XK (X150), the XJ (X351) does not have a hidden slot for a mechanical key to open the trunk lid. Thank you, factory engineers, for a truly dumb decision in what is otherwise a brilliant design.
