MISLOCK
If one of the doors, the bonnet, or the luggage
compartment are not shut fully when the
vehicle is locked using the Jaguar Smart Key or
by Keyless locking, the vehicle will not lock and
two warning tones will sound. Check that all
doors, the bonnet and the luggage
compartment are closed properly and lock the
vehicle again.
If one or more of the doors fails to lock
properly when a lock attempt is made using the
Jaguar Smart Key, tw o warning tones will
sound and one or more of the doors may not be
locked.

obstructions are in any open aperture
before operating global closing.
Ensure that all doors are closed, then press and
hold the lock button on the Smart Key for 3
seconds or press and hold the lock button on
the exterior door handle. The vehicle will single

the windows will stop closing.
Note: Global closing can be enabled/disabled
via the Security/ vehicle settings menu on the
touch screen. See 61, VEHICLE SETTINGS .
KEYLESS LOCKING
Remove all Jaguar Smart Keys and
emergency key blades from the vehicle
when it is left unattended. This will help
prevent the alarm being disarmed and
therefore help prevent theft. The Smart Key may not be detected if it
is placed within a meta

LCD screen, such as a smart phone,
laptop (including la ptop bag), games
console etc.

second flash). In some markets, a double
audible warning will sound.
Note: Keyless locking will onl y activate if all

are closed and the Jagua r Smart Key is outside
the vehicle. If the abov e conditions are not met,
two audible error warnings will sound.
FULL ALARM
To set full alarm protection, ensure that all the
windows and the sunroof are closed. Then, on
vehicles fitted with double-locking, press the
lock button twice within three seconds. The
hazard warning lights will flash twice to
confirm the alarm state and, in some markets,
an audible tone will sound.
Note: If the alarm is armed and a window or the
sunroof are left open, the alarm may sound due
to movement of air currents, detected by the
intrusion sensors in th e front interior light
console.
Note: The intrusion sensors can be temporarily
disabled, for the next time the vehicle is locked,
via the Security/ vehicle settings menu on the
touch screen. See 61, VEHICLE SETTINGS .

• Opening a door using keyless entry.
• Pressing the START/STOP button with a

tilt alarm.
Note: The tilt sensor ca n be temporarily
disabled, for the next time the vehicle is locked,
via the Security/ vehicle settings menu on the
touch screen. See 61, VEHICLE SETTINGS .
PASSIVE ARMING
This vehicle is fitted with a passive arming
feature which can, if enabled, automatically
arm the anti-theft system. Passive arming will
automatically arm the perimeter alarm system
60 seconds after the driver's door is closed,
provided all doors, bonnet and luggage
compartment are closed, the ignition is
switched off and there are no valid Jaguar
Smart Keys inside the vehicle.
Passive arming will not lock the vehicle,
although access to the luggage compartment
via the interior or exteri or release buttons will
be prevented and the fuel filler flap will be
locked.
AUTOMATIC RELOCKING AND
RE-ARMING OF THE ALARM
Automatic relock and re-arm is a feature which,
if enabled, automatically relocks the vehicle
and arms the anti-theft system.
If the vehicle is in a locked and armed state and
the remote unlock button is pressed, but none
of the doors or the luggage compartment are
opened within 1 minute, the vehicle will
automatically relock all the doors and the
luggage compartment and will re-arm the
alarm system.
Note: Automatic relocking and arming will only
relock and arm to the last locked and armed
state.
SENSOR FAULTS
If the security systems detect a fault with one
of the security sensors, 2 error tones will
sound from the alarm after the vehicle is
unlocked and disarmed. If this condition
occurs, please visit your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for rectification.
