2. 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.
3. Neither the luggage compartment lid release switch on the fascia
switchpack nor the lid release button
will operate when the vehicle is
armed, or in valet mode. An attempt
to operate these switches whilst in
valet mode will result in an audible
warning chime.

remote luggage compartment switches
more than 15 times within
20 seconds, or opening and closing

opening to be inhibited for
20 seconds. Should this happen wait

resume. If required, the luggage
compartment may be opened by using

period.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.

Two audible signals will be heard
(if enabled) if an atte mpt is made to lock
the vehicle with a key in the drivers door
lock or the lock button is pressed on the
key transmitter if a door, the hood or the
luggage compartment is not fully closed

disarmed, either by pressing the unlock
button on the key tr ansmitter, or by

Security Features
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.
Panic Alarm (if enabled)
When in or near the vehicle, the alarm
can be set off to dete r a possible offender.
For this feature to operate, the key must
not be in the ignition switch.
Pressing the headlamp convenience/panic
button on the key transmitter three times
within three seconds will activate the
‘Panic Alarm’.
The alarm is stopped by:
• Putting the key into the ignition switch and turning to position ‘II’.
Note:
1. The key transmitter cannot be used to cancel the Panic alarm. This prevents
unauthorised cancellation in an
emergency.
2. The panic alarm is normally enabled. If required, this feature can be
disabled or enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer.
3. The vehicle locking status will not change when the panic alarm is
activated.
Passive Arming (Retailer
Option)
Passive arming wi ll not lock the
doors, it only arms the security alarm
system.
Passive arming, if enabled by a Jaguar
Retailer, will automatically arm the
vehicle alarm system 30 seconds after the
last protected entry (door, luggage
compartment) is closed following the key
being removed from th e ignition switch.
When passive arming occurs the direction
indicators will flash once and a single
tone will be heard (if enabled). The red
security light on the fascia will start to
flash and will continue for as long as the
alarm is armed.
Opening the drivers door causes a
warning sound which continues for
15 seconds before the system goes into
the full alarm state. If any other door is
opened before the drivers door,
the system goes into the full alarm state
immediately.
When the system is pa ssively armed and a
key is used to open the trunk, a seven
second warning audible ticking will
sound before the full alarm is activated.

Luggage Compartment Emergency Release
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 familiaris e themselves with the operation
and location of the release handle.
To open the luggage compartment lid from the inside, pull the
illuminated ‘T’ shaped handle and push up the trunk 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.
!WARNING:
1. 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 trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught
not to play in vehicles.
2. On hot days, the temperature in the luggage compartment and 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.
