2017 Range Rover Sport

JamieRRS · Dec 29, 2019

Hi,I’ve just bought a 67 plate Range Rover Sport from a dealer, I have found last night that it’s possible to lock one set of the keys in the car, should this happen? It doesn’t seem right to me, but thought I’d check here prior to contacting the dealer.

Many Thanks in advance

Jamie

Hi, if you are remotely locking or even with the key blade then yes this should be possible, ordinarily the keys transponder is sensed by the security system and the doors will not automatically lock when you leave the vehicle, but should lock automatically when the key is sensed out of range from the vehicle and should you not have remote locked it already.

Hope that helps.

Hello and welcome

Welcome...take it back and ask them that's what you paid for... also any other questions you need answers too it's called after sales service...

Am getting too clever for my own liking , I looked in the owners manual, lmao

NOTES
Make sure the smart key does not remain in the vehicle before closing the tailgate. The smart key may not be detected if kept inside a metal container, or shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen. For example, a smartphone, laptop, including when inside a bag, or a games console. Also, if the vehicle is in an area of localised RF interference, it may not be detected. If the smart key is not detected inside the vehicle, the vehicle can be locked. The vehicle does not automatically unlock. The vehicle unlocks only with another valid smart key.

so after finding this I think we all deserve a beer, or two

Oh that’s handy then

WARNING
The smart key system uses Radio Frequency (RF) transmissions that could interfere with implanted medical devices. To avoid any possibility of interference between the system and the device, make sure that the device is kept at a safe distance. The distance should be at least 22 cm away from any transmitter. In rare circumstances, interference may cause an implanted medical device to malfunction. Malfunction to an implanted medical device may cause death.

u saying that , ur supposed to not be able to lock keys in a D4 , But read where some have locked themselves out , read somewhere about sensors in the D4 boot though , will see if I can find it

I hope I never own a keyless entry system ,

It always seemed an odd thing but my old guvnor used to be able to lock his D4 with the spare keys in the door pocket and the Land Rover mechanic said that the sensor was overridden by deliberately locking the car, could have been blagging him to cover up for a known fault though lol

cheers , just looked at the keyless entry fobs is the same ref the above quote that they can be locked in the car

always keep my spare set of car keys at home and parents have a spare house door key , so at least then I know there safe

but have also heard incidents where some carry there spare key in the car, what could possibly go wrong

I’ll see if mine can be locked in the car, but of course whilst I’m sitting in it

know if I unlock the disco and don’t open any door boot it will automatically relock

Just looked in an older model D4 owners manual

quote

KEYLESS LOCKING
Never double lock the vehicle with people, children or pets inside. In the event of an emergency they would be unable to escape, and the emergency services would be unable to release them quickly.
The vehicle will not lock automatically.
• To single lock the vehicle press the keyless locking button (arrowed) on the door handle once. The hazard warning lamps will flash once to confirm. In some markets an audible warning will sound.
• To double lock the vehicle, press the keyless locking button (arrowed) twice within 3 seconds. The hazard warning lamps will flash twice to confirm (with a long second flash). In some markets a double audible warning will sound.
Note: Keyless locking will only activate if the Smart Key is detected outside the vehicle. If no Smart Key is present when the button is pressed, two warning tones will sound.

so wonder if there thinking is a single lock doesn’t put the inside alarm on but two presses does so they maybe assume if single button is pressed there are occupants in the vehicle to unlock is so req

Also has the global locking system where it puts all the windows up

as a side note, like the auto door locking over 5mph when I drive away

Yes and it is supposed to re-lock itself once the key moves outside of the receivers reception so that it locks itself even if you walk away from it. I say supposed to, but as with all things Land Rover, you never really can tell.

I mean, last week I broke the engine oil thermostat housing and when I got a spare with the exact same serial number it was completely different internally

Typical Land Rover really I suppose lol

indeed, that’s why I really prefer having an ign key so know 100% if it’s locked and will stay locked until I tell it to open

Ah yes , does throw a curve ball sometimes with a different design and then wonder if it is actually an improvement of the old design

I know but they could have at least given the upgrade/downgrade a new part number so people like me don't throw the toys out the pram an threaten to burn it on the driveway lol

I don't even have central locking on mine, but having only 3 doors, it's hardly a big drama to lean over and walk round the back lol
