Vehicle Security System
Lock Alarm System HighlightsThe alarm/locking system is controlled by the BeCM and may be activated by use of the key or remote handset. The remote handset is the preferred method to lock/unlock and arm/disarm the alarm system. The remote handset has a range of approximately 10 meters (33 ft.) The Receiver aerial is in the right rear quarter glass.

Lock/Alarm System Highlights Additional Points
1. Remote activated seats/mirrors will only work when volumetric alarm has been set - safety (to ensure occupants will not be injured).

5. Mislock warning - tone and message when:
Key operated all close is stopped prior to finish.
Incomplete Key Activated All Close Lock
6. Auto relock - vehicle will relock after 60 seconds if:
All doors and tailgates remain closed (No key in ignition)
No interior movement detected (volumetric superlock)
7. Rolling code - code used between the remote handset and the BeCM changes everytime activated to safeguard the security system.
8. Remote handset re-synchronization required if:
1. Handset batteries die
2. Handset is operated approximately 100 times away from vehicle.
To Resynchronize Handset

Locking The Vehicle And Arming The Alarm
The owner has been supplied with two handset/keys (numbers 1 and 2). While both are identical in operation, they can be programmed separately to store two different sets of information (i.e. Remote memory seats). Two additional replacement handsets (3 and 4) can be obtained from the Land Rover Parts Department.
There are four methods for securing your vehicle:
1. 'Superlocking' using the remote handset - (recommended high security method - 2 pushes of padlock button).
2. 'Superlocking' using the key (2 turns).
3. Locking using the remote handset (1 push of padlock button).
4. Locking using the key (1 turn of key).
For maximum security, 'Superlock' the vehicle using the handset.
REMEMBER, in order to FULLY activate the security system, the vehicle must be 'Superlocked' using the handset.
NOTE: Pushing sill buttons down (inside vehicle) locks 4 doors, tailgate NO ALARM.
Slam Locking-'95 MY only Deleted in '96 MY and later.
Push sill buttons down and close door (from outside)
- locks 4 doors, tailgate
- perimetric alarm set (hood, doors, tailgate)
- engine immobilization (starter, fuel pump)
The Handset
The radio remote handset has three buttons (described below). By pressing the appropriate button, the handset can be used either as a conventional key, or as a remote handset to either lock or 'superlock the vehicle from distances of up to ten meters (33 ft.)
1. Key release button - press release the key.
2. Lock button (padlock symbol)
- Press once to lock
- Press twice to 'superlock'
3. Unlock button
- press once to unlock
- press and hold to operate the remote memory seats.
To operate aim the handset at the vehicle and press the appropriate button. The handset will successfully arm or disarm the security system.
NOTE: Will not lock if key is in ignition switch:
Once the security system is armed, the following features are activated:
- The central locking system locks all the doors and the tailgate.
- The perimetric alarm (protecting the doors, hood and tailgate) is armed.
- The engine is immobilized.
- If 'Handset superlocking' is activated, the volumetric alarm is also armed (twin sensors inside the passenger compartment monitor the interior space and activate the alarm if an intrusion into the passenger compartment is detected).
NOTE: If either of the 'superlocking' methods are used, the door sill buttons will be deactivated and the doors cannot then be opened from inside the vehicle.
The volumetric sensors will enter a self-check mode each time you turn the ignition switch off. It will remain active for 60 seconds, or until:
1. The driver's door is opened.
2. The ignition switch is turned on.
3. The vehicle is locked with the handset or key.
NOTE: If the sensor fails its self-check, only the 'perimetric' elements of the security system will be active (doors, hood and tailgate). Any attempt to 'superlock' with the handset will result in 'ALARM FAULT' being displayed on the message center and a mislock occurring (see Mislock bolow).
'Superlocking' Using The key:
Turn the key in the driver's door towards the rear of the vehicle (and release) twice within 2 seconds.
NOTE: 'Superlocking' the vehicle using the key will provide perimetric protection only - volumetric protection (protection of the interior space inside the vehicle) WILL NOT BE ACTIVE! If any door, hood, or the tailgate is left open, a mislock will occur.
To Unlock:
Wherever possible use the handset to unlock the vehicle - press and release the 'unlock' button.
If necessary, the key can be used to unlock a 'superlocked' vehicle.
NEVER 'superlock' the vehicle if passengers are to be left inside - 'superlocking' prevents door locks from being operated from INSIDE as well as outside the vehicle!
NOTE: If the handset 'lock' button or the door key are operated once, the central locking will be activated, but the alarm will only be in 'perimetric' mode and the doors and locks CAN be opened form the inside.
Mislock
A mislock will occur if: A door, hood or tailgate are left open. The key is left in the ignition switch.
An incomplete key activated all close is attempted. The message center will indicate the cause of a mislock i.e. 'Hood Open'.
Key activated all close enables you to use key to close the windows and sunroof at the same time as you secure the vehicle.
To operate key activated all close:
1. Ensure the doors, hood and tailgate are properly closed.
2. With the key - turn and hold the key in the 'lock' position.
The doors and tailgate will lock and the windows, followed by the sunroof will close.
NOTE: If a window or the sunroof detects an obstruction, a mislock occurs and the locking sequence will stop. Remove the obstruction before trying to key activate all close again.
Remote Activated Memory Seats (only superlock/volumetric alarm set)
The memory preset signals are a convenient way of recalling your own personal electric seat/mirror positions when you UNLOCK the vehicle using the remote handset. This system enables the handset to be used to recall the pre-set electric seat/mirror positions when you UNLOCK the door.
The two handsets are separately identified by gray and black battery covers - one corresponds to driver's seat memory 1, and the other to seat memory 2.
Press and hold the 'unlock' button on the handset for 1 - 2 seconds the indicator light on the handset flashes rapidly), and then releases. The driver's set and both mirrors will move to the positions programmed into the relevant seat memory.
It will not function if the alarm system has already been triggered since it was last set, and will be canceled if a door is opened, or if the vehicle is relocked.
Auto Relock
Auto relock ensures that, if the vehicle unlocked accidentally. The vehicle will relock itself automatically after a 60 seconds delay.
Once the 'unlock' button on the handset has been pressed, the alarm system will monitor the vehicle for 60 seconds. If any of the following occur during this period, the vehicle will remain unlocked:
- A door or the tailgate is opened.
- Interior movement is detected.
- The key is left or inserted into the ignition switch, or the switch is turned to position 'I'.
However, if none of the above has occurred within 60 seconds, then the vehicle will automatically return to its previous 'locked' state.
