1. Press the locking lever to lock the door,
pull the lever to unlock the door. Operating
the locking lever on either front door will
lock or unlock all closed doors.
2. Pull the release lever to open a door. If a
rear door is locked, ope rating the lever will
have no effect.
Note: If the car was locked using the Jaguar
Smart Key, then operating the locking/release
lever will only unlock/release that door and the
alarm will sound.
Note: If the vehicle has been double-locked,
then the interior door lock and release levers
will not operate. The vehicle must be unlocked
using the Jaguar Smart Key.
SINGLE LOCKING
Press the lock button br iefly. Single locking
secures the vehicle and prevents the doors and
luggage compartment being opened from
outside of the vehicle. The doors can be
unlocked and opened from inside the vehicle.
The hazard warning lamps will flash once as
confirmation.
DOUBLE LOCKING
Never double lock the vehicle with
people, children or pets inside. In the
event of an emergenc y they would be
unable to escape, and the emergency
services would be unable to release
them quickly.
When the vehicle is double-locked the
doors cannot be opened, either from
inside or outside the vehicle.
Press the lock button twice within three
seconds. Double locking secures the vehicle
and prevents the doors and luggage
compartment being unlocked or opened from
inside or outside of the vehicle, except with the
correct Jaguar Smart Key. The hazard warning
lamps will flash twice (with a long second
flash) and an audible warning will sound, as
confirmation.
LOCK CONFIRMATION
If you are uncertain whether the vehicle is
locked and armed (either by single or double
locking), press the lock button again. The
hazard warning lights will flash to indicate and
confirm the current armed/disarmed status.
Note: If the vehicle is not already locked and
armed, pressing the lock button will single lock
the vehicle. Press again to double lock.
The audible warning can be
enabled/ disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

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.
GLOBAL CLOSING
Ensure that no children, pets, or
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
lock and the alarm will be fully armed
immediately. After 3 seconds all of the
windows will close.
Note: If the button on the door handle is
released before the windows have fully closed,
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
l container or if it
is shielded by a device with a back-lit
LCD screen, such as a smart phone,
laptop (including la ptop bag), games
console etc.
The vehicle will not lock automatically.
To single-lock the vehicle, press the button on
the door handle once. The hazard warning
lamps will flash once as confirmation (in some
markets, an audible warning will sound).
To double-lock the vehicle, press the button
twice within three seconds. The hazard
warning lamps will flash twice (with a long
second flash). In some markets, a double
audible warning will sound.
Note: Keyless locking will onl y activate if all
doors, bonnet and the luggage compartment
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 .

To set perimeter alarm protection, briefly press
the lock button once. The hazard warning lights
will flash once to confirm the alarm state.

In certain markets, a separate battery backed
sounder is fitted. This device will sound the
alarm if the vehicle battery or the alarm
sounder is disconnected when the security
system is armed.
DEACTIVATING THE ALARM WHEN
TRIGGERED
If the alarm has been triggered, it can be
deactivated by any one of the following
methods:-
• Pressing the unlock button on the Jaguar
Smart Key.
• Opening a door using keyless entry.
• Pressing the START/STOP button with a
valid Jaguar Smart Key present.
TILT SENSOR
The tilt sensor detects any change in the
vehicle's angle to the ground. When the alarm
is armed and the vehicle double-locked, any
change in the vehicle's angle will activate the
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.

Occupant safety
27
If the vehicle is moving at or above 16 km/h (10
mph) and the seat belt of an occupied front
seat is not fastened, the warning lamp will
flash.
The flashing lasts for 10 seconds and repeats
every 10 seconds for approximately 5 minutes
or until the belt(s) is fastened or the vehicle
stops.
If the warning lamp re mains illuminated after
the seat belt(s) fastened, seek qualified
assistance as soon as pos sible. The vehicle can
still be driven with the warning lamp
illuminated, provided the seat belt(s) is
properly fastened.
Note: If a heavy object is placed on the front
passenger seat, it may activate the Beltminder
feature. It is recomme nded that the object be
placed in the luggage compartment or secured
using the seat belt.
Note: Although not advisable, it is possible to
disable the Beltminder function. Please see
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer to disable or
re-instate the function.
ACTIVE SEAT BELTS
The Active Seat Belt System enhances front
seat occupant support during extreme vehicle
manoeuvres such as understeer, oversteer or
high braking forces by te nsioning the seat belt.
Tension is released when the vehicle
manoeuvre is completed. The occupant may
notice a further slight in crease in tension just
prior to release of th e seat belt, which is
entirely normal.
In the unlikely event that tension is not released
after a manoeuvre is completed, bring the
vehicle to a safe stop. Unbuckle and re-buckle
the seat belt, which should then extract and
retract normally, before continuing with the
journey. Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey,
no matter how short.
If the Active Seat Belts Unavailable message
and the yellow general warning symbol are
displayed in the message centre, contact your
Jaguar Dealer/ Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible. The vehicle is still safe to drive and
the Active Seat Belts will still function as
standard seat belts.
CHILD SEATS
For optimum safety, children should
travel in the rear of the vehicle at all
times; front passenger seat travel is
not recommended. However, if it is
essential that a child travels in the
front (not permitted in Australia), set
the vehicle seat fully rearward and
seat the child in an approved
forward-facing child seat. Do not use
a rear-facing child seat - an inflating
airbag could impact with the seat and
cause serious injury.
Do not use a forward facing child seat
until the child usin g it is above the
minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and
able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of
two, a child's spine and neck are not
sufficiently developed to avoid injury
in a frontal impact.
Do not allow a baby or infant to be
held or carried on the lap. The force of
a crash can increase effective body
weight by as much as thirty times,
making it impossible to hold onto the
child.
