Entering the vehicle

UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE

To prevent accidental operation,

never leave the Smart Key in the

vehicle if children or animals are also

left in the vehicle.

Note: The operational range of the Smart Key

will vary considerably depending on

atmospheric conditions and interference from

other transmitting devices.

Entering the vehicle

Note: If any door or the tailgate is unlocked 10

times within a short period, the latch is

disabled for approximately one minute.

When closing the tailgate again, if the

vehicle is already locked and armed,

the hazard warning lamps will flash

after a few seconds to confirm the full

alarm system has been reactivated.

There will also be an audible sound if

the vehicle was double locked. See 8,

OPERATING THE TAILGATE.

The vehicle is supplied with two Smart Keys.

The Smart Keys act as remote controls for the

locking and alarm system and allow the vehicle

to be locked, unlocked and driven without the

use of a conventional key. See 7, KEYLESS

ENTRY, 13, KEYLESS LOCKING and 77,

ENGINE STARTING. Each Smart Key also has

an emergency key housed in a slide out

compartment.

Ensure that the Smart Key does not

remain in the vehicle prior to

closure. If the vehicle is in an area

of localised RF interference or the

Smart Key is shielded by metal

objects, the vehicle may close and

lock with no means of opening

again.

unlocked using the key blade, the alarm

will sound until the Smart Key is positioned

correctly.

automatically to the previous locked state and

the alarm will re-arm.

Entering the vehicle

If only the ignition is on and the Smart Key is

removed from the vehicle and the driver’s door

is the last to be closed, the ignition will switch

off.

KEYLESS ENTRY

Keyless entry allows the vehicle to be opened if

a Smart Key is within 1.0m (3ft) of the door

handle or the tailgate external switch.

Note: The engine cannot be started without the

Smart Key in the vehicle.

The Smart Key may not be detected if it

is placed within a metal container or if it

is shielded by a device with a back-lit

LCD screen, such as a smart phone,

laptop (including laptop bag), games

console etc. Keep the Smart Key clear of

such devices when attempting Keyless

entry or Keyless starting.

The vehicle can still be unlocked and the alarm

disabled. To unlock the vehicle:-

1. Unlock the left side front door using the

driver’s person or in a non-metallic bag or

briefcase. It does not need to be exposed or

handled.

2. Position the Smart Key against the

underside of the steering column cover

with the buttons facing downwards.

When keyless entry operates, the alarm will be

disarmed and the doors unlocked according to

the current unlock/entry setting (Single or

Multi-Point). The hazard warning lamps will

flash twice as ‘unlock’ confirmation. Power

folded mirrors will fold out (if enabled).

Note: If Single Point Entry is the current

security setting and a door other than the

driver’s door is opened first, all doors will

unlock.

that it opens to the programmed height.

Note: If, after performing part 3 of the process
