2023 Land Rover Discovery Sport EXITING THE VEHICLE

SINGLE LOCKING

WARNING
Before exiting the vehicle, always make sure of the following: Park (P) gear is selected. The engine is switched off. The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied. The smart key is removed from the vehicle.

This is to protect the safety of those inside and outside the vehicle.

CAUTION
No modifications or additions should be made to the security system. Such changes could cause the system to malfunction.

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.

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.

Once armed, the alarm activates if:

  • The hood, 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.
  • An attempt is made to disconnect the battery back-up sounder.
NOTES
Always secure the vehicle when left unattended.

LOCK CONFIRMATION

If uncertain about the vehicle’s locked and armed status, press the lock button on the smart key. With keyless entry, touch a lock button on an exterior door handle. The hazard warning lights flash once to indicate and confirm the current lock status. One short flash means that the vehicle is single locked.

KEYLESS LOCKING

NOTES
  • 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, 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 push button starting.
  • Loose coins, in the same pocket as the smart key, can act as a shield and may affect its detection.
  • keyless locking activates only if the smart key is detected outside the vehicle. If no smart key is present, locking does not occur.
  • The vehicle does not lock automatically.

To operate keyless locking:

  1. Lock sensor area: To lock the vehicle, only touch the lock sensor once, without grabbing the door handle. The hazard warning lights flash once to confirm locking.
NOTES
Do not grip the door handle while touching the sensor. Doing so prevents the vehicle from locking.

When using keyless locking, the vehicle does not lock when:

  • Any door(s) is open.
  • The hood is open.
  • The tailgate is not fully closed.
  • The ignition is switched on.

No audible mislock error warning is given. The hazard warning lights do not flash and the power-fold mirrors, if enabled, do not fold in.

Make sure that the ignition is switched off, and that all of the doors, the hood and the tailgate are closed properly. Lock the vehicle again. If the mislock persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.

BATTERY BACK-UP SOUNDER

When the security system is armed, the battery back-up sounder activates if:

  • The vehicle’s 12V battery is disconnected.
  • An attempt is made to disconnect the alarm’s siren.
  • An attempt is made to disconnect the battery back-up sounder.

DOOR LOCKS AND HANDLES

WARNING
While a door is open, the locking latch is exposed. If the latch has the soft-close feature, do not attempt to manually close the latch. It may automatically soft-close and trap items or body parts.

To operate the door locks and handles:

  1. Door handle: Pull to unlock and open a door. If the door is locked, pull either front door handle once to unlock all of the doors.

    Pull either rear door handle once to unlock the individual rear door.

  2. Unlock button: Press to unlock all of the doors. Alternatively, pull either front door handle (1) once to unlock all of the doors.
  3. Lock button: With all of the doors closed, press to lock all of the doors.

    Door handle: Pull to unlock and open a door. If the door is locked, pull either front door handle once to unlock all of the doors.

NOTES
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.
NOTES
The rear door child safety locks inhibit operation of the rear door lock and unlock buttons and the door handles. See CHILD SAFETY LOCKS.

MISLOCK

When locking the vehicle with the smart key, a mislock can occur if:

  • One or more of the doors, the hood, or the tailgate are not fully closed.
  • One or more of the doors have failed to lock.
  • The vehicle’s ignition is switched on.

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 power-fold mirrors, if enabled, do not fold in. Check that all of the doors, the windows, the hood, and the tailgate are closed properly. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is switched off. Lock the vehicle again. If the mislock persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.

NOTES
Operating any door handle while attempting to unlock, lock, or change the child lock status may cause the security system to ignore any requests.

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. See SMART KEY OPERATION.
  • Open a door using keyless entry. See PASSIVE ENTRY.
  • Press the START/STOP button with a valid smart key inside the vehicle. See STARTING THE ENGINE.

The cause of the last alarm activation can be displayed from the Vehicle menu on the touchscreen. See SYSTEM SETTINGS.

EMERGENCY LOCKING

NOTES
Do not leave the emergency key blade in the vehicle at any point during the emergency locking procedure.

In the event of a fault with the alarm and/or locking system, manually secure the vehicle by locking all doors via the driver’s door key barrel.

The emergency key blade is required for this procedure. See SMART KEY OPERATION.

Using the emergency key:

  1. Make sure all apertures are closed and insert the emergency key blade into the driver’s door key barrel.
  2. Turn the emergency key blade 90° clockwise.
  3. All of the doors single lock and access to the luggage compartment is inhibited.
  4. Pull the exterior door handles to check that the doors are locked. When doing so, make sure any valid smart keys are at least 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. See SMART KEY OPERATION.

Using the emergency key:

  1. 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 to remove it from the door. Keep the lock access cover safe.
  2. Insert the emergency key blade firmly into the emergency lock. A firm push activates the door’s locking mechanism.

    Remove the emergency key blade.

  3. Refit the emergency lock access cover. Rotate it clockwise to secure it firmly.
  4. Close the door and check that it is locked.

Repeat the procedure for all other unlocked doors.
