DOOR INTERNAL LOCKING
AND UNLOCKING

Each internal door handle comprises a
lock lever (1) and release handle (2).

To centrally lock all doors, press the lock
lever on the driver’s or front passenger’s
door.

To lock a rear door, press the lock lever.

To unlock a door, pull the lock lever.

To open a locked door, pull the release
lever.

The driver’s or front passenger’s door
lock lever will unlock all doors.

DRIVE-AWAY DOOR LOCKING

This feature is an additional occupant
safeguard, which locks all the doors and
the luggage compartment after a journey
has been started.

For the feature to operate, the ignition
switch must be in position II, the
parkbrake released and the vehicle
moving forward at a speed above 5 km/h
(3 mph).

Note: For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the gear selector lever must
be moved out of the (Park) P or (Neutral) N
position.

The doors will remain locked, even when
the vehicle is stopped unless the driver or
front passenger unlocks a door. A rear
passenger can only unlock their own
individual door.

If a door is opened during a journey, the
doors will automatically lock again when
the vehicle starts to move.

All vehicles have the drive-away door
locking feature installed during
manufacture. This feature can be
disabled, or reinstated, by a Jaguar
Dealer, if required.

VALET SWITCH

Before handing the green-headed valet
key to the parking attendant, open the
glove compartment, press the valet
switch and then close and lock the glove
compartment with the integrated key or a
black-headed key. The attendant can
then lock the car after parking, but cannot
open the glove compartment or the
luggage compartment.

LID LOCKING AND
UNLOCKING

To open the luggage compartment:
• Press the luggage compartment lid

release switch (1) on the facia
switchpack, or;

• Press the luggage compartment

button (2) on the key transmitter, or;

• With the vehicle unlocked, press the

release button (3) on the compartment
lid.

Note: An ignition key can be used to open
the luggage compartment lid release lock
(4), (turn clockwise to release), but
opening with the key when the vehicle is
armed will cause the alarm to sound. Use
a transmitter, or place the key in the
ignition switch, to turn the alarm off if it
sounds as a result of opening with a key.

If the vehicle alarm system is armed and
the luggage compartment is opened
using the key transmitter, the alarm will
not sound. The system will be rearmed
when the lid is closed, provided the
vehicle has not been disarmed.

Neither the luggage compartment lid
release switch on the facia switchpack,
nor the lid release button will operate
when the vehicle is armed.

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
EMERGENCY RELEASE

!

WARNING:

• Keep vehicle doors and the luggage

compartment locked and keep keys
out of a child’s reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in
an open compartment and risk
injury. Children should be taught
not to play in vehicle.

• On hot days, the temperature in the

luggage compartment and the
vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or
animals to these high temperatures
for even a short time can cause
death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage.
Small children are particularly at
risk.

Your vehicle is equipped with a
mechanical interior luggage compartment
release handle that provides a means of
escape for children and adults in the
event they become locked inside the
luggage compartment.

Adults are advised to familiarise
themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle.

The T-shaped handle is located on the
luggage compartment lid.

To open the luggage compartment lid
from the inside, pull the illuminated
T-shaped handle and push up the lid. The
material that the handle is made of will
glow for hours in the darkness of the
luggage compartment following brief
exposure to ambient light.

Ensure that the T-shaped handle is firmly
returned to its stowed position after use.

Alarm Systems

ALARMS AND AUDIBLE
SIGNALS

Note: In certain markets, legislation
prohibits the use of audible confirmation
signals. In such cases, the sound source
has been removed from the system.

AUDIBLE SIGNALS

Two horn chirps will sound if an attempt is
made to lock the vehicle if a door is not
fully closed. There will be no audible
signal if the vehicle is locked when the
hood or luggage compartment is not fully
closed.

Error signal

The direction indicators will flash five
times whenever the key is out of the
ignition switch and one of the following
conditions is present:
• If any door is open when an attempt is

made to lock the vehicle by inserting a
key in the driver’s door lock.

• The luggage compartment or the

hood is not properly closed when an
attempt is made to lock the vehicle,
either by inserting a key in the driver’s
door lock or by using the key
transmitter.

• If there is an electrical failure within

the intrusion sensing or inclination
sensing systems, and an attempt to
‘disarm’ the security system is made.

The direction indicators will flash seven
times whenever the key is out of the
ignition and one of the following
conditions is present:
• If any door is open when an attempt is

made to ‘arm’ the security system
using the key transmitter.

• If either of the front doors is open

when an attempt is made to lock the
vehicle using the lock levers on the
front two doors.

FULL ALARM

Once armed, any of the following
circumstances will create a full alarm
state; sounding the horns and flashing the
direction indicators:
• Opening a door, luggage

compartment lid (except with
transmitter) or hood.

• Using a key in the ignition switch

which is not programmed to the
vehicle.

• Any attempt is made to remove the

radio.

SECURITY SYSTEM

The security system has been designed
for:
• Prevention of theft of the vehicle.
• Prevention of theft of items from the

vehicle.

• Personal security.

The security system is integrated with the
vehicle electronics and engine
management systems making it far more
difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal
the vehicle.
