2-2 Security and locks
Vehicle security
When leaving the vehicle unoccupied,
remember the following:
• Apply the handbrake and with
automatic transmission, move the
gear selector to Park ‘P’.
• Do not leave children or pets in the
vehicle unattended.
• Do not leave luggage or valuables on
view. Always take your valuables with
you or lock them in the luggage
compartment.
• Remove the ignition key and spare
keys, even when the vehicle is in your
garage.
• Close all windows and lock all doors
securely.
• Park the vehicle where it can be seen.
At night, park in a well-lit area.
• When leaving the vehicle unattended,
for maximum security ensure that the
doors are double-locked.
Ensure that all keys and key transmitters
are removed from the vehicle before
locking the doors, and that all doors, the
luggage compartment and the bonnet are
closed.
It is important to keep your keys in safe
places at all times. Leaving them in
conspicuous places is an invitation for a
thief to steal them and, consequently,
your vehicle or belongings. Keep them as
secure as you would your wallet or purse,
both at home and away.
Security light
This vehicle is equipped with an
immobilisation system.
An electronic device is fitted in the head
of each key which is programmed to the
vehicle electronics. When the key is
placed in the ignition switch the vehicle
electronics recognise the correct key and
allow engine start. The engine cannot be
started with a key not programmed to the
vehicle electronic systems.
If an ignition key is placed in the ignition
switch and turned to position ‘II’ and the
alarm security light on the centre console
remains flashing after three seconds, it is
possible that the engine will not start. In
any event, please contact a Jaguar Dealer
to investigate the cause of the light
flashing.
Keys
The key operates all the locks on your
vehicle.
Vehicles are supplied with either two key
transmitters or one key transmitter and
one key without a transmitter, depending
on the vehicle model.
