2022 Land Rover Discovery Exiting The Vehicle

SINGLE LOCKING

WARNING

Before exiting the vehicle, always select Park (P), switch off the ignition, apply the Electric Parking Brake (EPB), and remove any smart keys. Missing these steps may lead to serious injury or death.

CAUTION

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

Before attempting to lock the vehicle, always make sure of the following:

The ignition is switched off.
All of the doors, the windows, the hood, and the taildoor are closed correctly.

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.

NOTES

The single locking setting should be used in circumstances when pets remain in the vehicle, or if a window must be left open.

Once armed, the alarm activates if:

The hood, taildoor, 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 battery backup sounder.

NOTES

Always secure the vehicle when left unattended.

NOTES

In some markets, the full alarm system, including the alarm sensors, is armed when the vehicle is single-locked. The alarm sensors can be enabled and disabled, for one alarm cycle only, via the Vehicle menu in the touchscreen. See SYSTEM SETTINGS.

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 start.

NOTES

Loose coins, in the same pocket as the smart key, can act as a shield and may affect its detection.

NOTES

Keyless locking activates only if the smart key is detected outside the vehicle. If no smart key is present, locking does not occur.

NOTES

The vehicle does not lock automatically.

To operate keyless locking:

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.

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.

MATLOCK

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

One or more of the doors, the hood, 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 power-fold mirrors (if enabled) do not fold in. Check that all of the doors, the hood, and the 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.

NOTES

Operating the interior or exterior door handles, while attempting to unlock, lock, or change the child lock status of the vehicle including drive-away locking, may cause the security system to ignore any unlock, lock, or child lock requests.

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.

Lock button: Press to lock. With all of the doors closed, press a lock button to lock all of the doors.
Unlock button: Press to unlock. Press an unlock button to unlock all of the doors and the tailgate. Alternatively, pull either front door handle (3) once to unlock all of the doors.
Door handle: Pull to unlock and open a front door. To unlock a rear door, pull the individual door handle.

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 the rear door lock and unlock buttons and the interior door handles. See CHILD SAFETY LOCKS.

CLEAR EXIT MONITOR

WARNING

A clear exit monitor is a useful aid only. Open the door with due care and attention. Make sure the door is opened in a manner that is safe for the vehicle, its occupants, and other road users. Failure to open the door safely could result in injury or death.

CAUTION

Make sure that the clear exit warning icons and indicators are not obscured by stickers or other objects. Obscured warning icons can impair the user’s ability to utilize the feature, which could cause damage to the vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not attach stickers or objects to the rear bumper that may interfere with the radar sensors. Blocked sensors could impair the operation of the clear exit monitor feature, which could cause damage to the vehicle.
A clear exit monitor warns of another vehicle, or moving object approaching from behind when the door has been unlatched. Sensors in the rear bumper monitor nearby traffic. If the system determines that opening the door could be unsafe, due to passing traffic, it gives a visible warning to the occupant. The system does not prevent the door from being opened. A clear exit monitor is fitted to the rear doors only. The clear exit monitor system activates only when the door has been unlatched. The icons illuminate as follows:

Illuminates white to indicate that the system is active.
Illuminates amber if the system determines that it could be unsafe to open the door, due to passing traffic.

The icons extinguish after the door has been closed.

The clear exit monitor system may not be able to detect all approaching traffic in all circumstances. The operation relies on the ability of the sensors to detect moving objects and this may be affected by road and weather conditions, and, also, if:

Vehicles approach very quickly from behind.
The sensors are blocked by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, damage, accessories, or stickers.
The sensor’s line of sight is obscured by objects, such as other vehicles parked particularly wide or close to the vehicle.

Reduced warning times or loss of functionality may be experienced under the circumstances listed above.

A clear exit monitor is available when the vehicle is stationary or traveling at less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The clear exit monitor remains active for 3 minutes after the ignition is switched off.

BATTERY BACK-UP SOUNDER

When the security system is armed, the battery backup 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 backup sounder.

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 KEYLESS 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 in 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. Lock all of the 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:

Make sure all apertures are closed and insert the emergency key blade into the key barrel on the driver door.
Turn the emergency key blade 90° clockwise.
All of the door’s single lock and access to the loadspace is inhibited.
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:

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. Pull the cover to remove it from the door. Keep the lock’s 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 access cover. Rotate the cover clockwise to secure it firmly.
Close the door and check that it is locked.

Repeat the procedure for all other unlocked doors.
