2022 Jaguar F-TYPE Exiting The Vehicle
LOCKING
Before exiting the vehicle, select Park P, switch the engine off, apply the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) and remove the smart key from the vehicle. These steps make sure that the vehicle is securely located and not subject to unexpected movement. Unexpected movement could cause injury and vehicle damage. Single locking secures the vehicle and prevents the doors from being opened from the outside. The doors may still be unlocked and opened from inside the vehicle. In this state, only the perimetric alarm is activated. See PERIMETRIC ALARM. Briefly press the lock button on the smart key to lock the vehicle and arm the perimetric alarm. The hazard warning lights flash to confirm.
Always secure the vehicle when left unattended. Where possible, always secure the vehicle to the maximum available level of security.
KEYLESS LOCKING
The smart key may not be detected if it is inside a metal container, or is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen. For example a smartphone, or laptop, including when inside a laptop bag or a games console. Keep the smart key clear of such devices when attempting keyless entry, keyless locking, or keyless starting.
Keyless locking activates only if the smart key is detected outside the vehicle. If no smart key is present, locking does not occur.
When locking the vehicle via keyless locking, the vehicle does not lock if one or more of the doors, the hood, the trunk, or the tailgate are not fully closed. The vehicle does not lock if the ignition is switched on.
Loose coins, in the same pocket as the smart key, may also affect its detection. When the door handle is in the deployed position, the door is unlocked. To lock the vehicle without using the smart key, press the deployed door handle. The door handle retracts to the flush position. The hazard warning lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle is locked and the perimetric alarm is armed.
MATLOCK
When locking the vehicle with the smart key, a mislock can occur if:
- One or both of the doors, the hood or the trunk lid, or the tailgate is not fully closed.
- The ignition is switched on.
- A smart key is left inside the vehicle.
If any of the above are present, the vehicle does not lock and an audible mislock error warning sounds. The hazard warning lights do not flash and the door mirrors, if enabled, do not fold in. Check that all of the doors, the hood, and the trunk lid or tailgate are closed properly. Make sure the ignition is switched off and lock the vehicle again. If the mislock persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
DOOR LOCKS AND HANDLES
- Unlock button (1): Press the unlock button to unlock both the front doors and the trunk.
NOTES
The door handles automatically deploy on both doors.
- Lock button (2): With all of the doors closed, press a lock button to lock both the front doors and the trunk.
NOTES
The door handles automatically retract to the flush position on both doors.
- Door handle (3): Pull to unlock or release the door. Operating a door handle unlocks both front doors.
If the vehicle is locked with the smart key, operating an interior door handle unlocks only that door. If the door is opened, the alarm sounds.
- Keyless unlock: Press to unlock and disarm the vehicle. The door handles move outward on all unlocked doors.
NOTES
A handle in the deployed position indicates an unlocked door. - Keyless lock: Press the lock button on the door handle to single lock the vehicle. See LOCKING.
A handle in the retracted flush position indicates a locked door or a vehicle speed above 5 mph (8 km/h).
PERIMETRIC ALARM
No modifications or additions should be made to the anti-theft system. Such changes could cause the system to malfunction.
The perimetric alarm system arms when the vehicle is locked. See LOCKING.
Once armed, the alarm system sounds if:
- The hood, trunk or tailgate, or a door is opened.
- The engine START/STOP button is pressed without a valid smart key present.
- The vehicle’s battery is disconnected.
- An attempt is made to disconnect the alarm’s siren.
- If the vehicle is fitted with a battery backup sounder, the sounder activates if the battery is disconnected.
- The sounder also activates if an attempt is made to disconnect the sounder.
PASSIVE ARMING
If the passive arming feature is enabled, it automatically arms the perimetric alarm system 60 seconds after the driver’s door is closed. The passive arming feature requires both front doors and the trunk lid or tailgate to be closed. The ignition must also be switched off with no valid smart keys inside the vehicle.
Passive arming does not lock the vehicle, although access to the trunk, via the interior or exterior release buttons, is prevented. The locking fuel filler flap will lock.
Passive arming can be enabled or disabled by a retailer/authorized repairer.
BATTERY BACK-UP SOUNDER
The battery backup sounder sounds the alarm if the vehicle’s battery or the alarm sounder is disconnected when the security system is armed.
DEACTIVATING THE ALARM WHEN TRIGGERED
If the alarm activates, it can be deactivated by any one of the following methods:
- Press the unlock button on the smart key.
- Open a door using keyless entry. See KEYLESS ENTRY.
- Press the START/STOP button with a valid smart key positioned correctly. See ENGINE START BACKUP.
The cause of the last alarm activation can be displayed in the instrument panel. See VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT PANEL.
EMERGENCY LOCKING
Do not leave the emergency key blade in the vehicle at any point during the emergency locking procedure.
In the event of an alarm or locking system fault, lock the doors via the driver’s door key barrel to manually secure the vehicle.
The emergency key blade is required for this procedure. See SMART KEY OPERATION.
Using the emergency key:
- Make sure all apertures are closed and insert the emergency key blade into the driver’s door key barrel.
- Turn the emergency key blade 90° clockwise.
- All of the doors single lock and access to the trunk is inhibited.
- Check that the exterior door handles are locked. When doing so, make sure any valid smart keys are at least 79 in (2 m) away from the doors.
If the issue persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer for rectification as soon as possible.
In the event of the battery discharging, each of the doors must be locked manually.
The emergency key blade is required for this procedure.
Using the emergency key:
- Open a door and locate the emergency lock access cover on the edge of the door. The cover has an embossed lock icon. Insert the emergency key blade into the cover’s slot. Rotate the cover counter-clockwise to first release it, then pull it to remove it from the door. Keep the lock access cover safe.
- Insert the emergency key blade firmly into the emergency lock. A firm push activates the door’s locking mechanism. Remove the emergency key blade.
- Refit the emergency lock access cover. Rotate it clockwise to secure it firmly.
- Close the door and check that it is locked.
Repeat the procedure for all other unlocked doors.
