KEYS
You have been supplied with two sets of keys,
comprising:
·a black key for operating the starter
switch.
·a plain metal key for operating the door
locks and fuel filler cap.
·a grey key for operating the cubby box
lock.
Key numbers
The starter key and glovebox key numbers are
stamped on a tag attached to their respective
key rings. The door lock key number is
stamped on the key itself. All key numbers
should be entered on the Security Information
card.
WARNING
Keep the spare keys and key tags in a safe
place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE!
Ensure the key numbers are recorded on the
Security Card supplied with your literature
pack - DO NOT KEEP THE CARD IN THE
VEHICLE!Front doors
From outside the vehicle the door locks can
only be operated with the key. Turn the key
towards the rear of the vehicle to lock and
towards the front to unlock.
Door sill locking buttons
From inside the vehicle, each door can be
individually locked, by depressing the
appropriate sill locking button.
WARNING
DO NOT depress the sill buttons as a means
of locking the doors from outside the vehicle
(this practice - known as slam locking - is
not recommended, because keys can be
locked inside accidentally).

12 ALARM SYSTEM
Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated
anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation
system. In order to combine maximum vehicle
security with minimum inconvenience, you are
advised to gain a full understanding of the
alarm system by thoroughly reading this
section of the handbook.
Features of the alarm system
Perimeter protection:This part of the alarm
system protects the doors, bonnet and
taildoor against unauthorised entry - the alarm
sounding if any one of these apertures is
opened without the alarm first being
disarmed.
Interior protection:Also known as volumetric
protection, this part of the system protects the
space inside the vehicle. If movement within
the passenger compartment, or intrusions
through the windows or sunroof are detected,
the alarm will sound.
Engine immobilisation:The engine is
immobilised electronically whenever the alarm
system is armed. Even if the alarm has not
been armed, engine immobilisation will occur
automatically thirty seconds after the drivers
door is opened, or five minutes after the
starter switch is turned to position 0.
In practice, this means it is virtually
impossible to leave your Defender unattended
without the engine being immobilised.
ARMING THE ALARM
WARNING
If a passenger or animal is to be left inside
the vehicle, or if a window or sunroof is to
be left open, interior protection must be
disabled. Refer to Interior protection
before arming the alarm.
To arm the alarm, aim the handset at the
Defender and press the right hand button
(PADLOCK SYMBOL). Provided all the doors
and other apertures are closed, the direction
indicator lights will flash three times to
confirm that the alarm is armed. All the
security features described previously will be
active.
Once armed, the alarm will sound if a door or
the bonnet is opened, or if movement is
detected inside the vehicle. 
						

							Locks & alarm
13 Disarming the alarm
Within range of the vehicle, briefly press the
left (PLAIN) button on the handset; the
direction indicator lights will flash once to
indicate that the alarm has been disarmed and
the engine re-mobilised.
NOTE:In some territories, the interior lights
will illuminate when the alarm is disarmed.
If the direction indicators fail to flash when
the alarm is armed:
This indicates that a door or the bonnet is not
fully closed, in which case the alarm will still
be partially armed and the engine
immobilised, but interior protection will not be
active.
Once the open door or bonnet is closed, the
direction indicators will flash three times and
the alarm will fully arm as described
previously.
If the alarm sounds:
The vehicle horn and alarm siren will sound
continuously for 30 seconds and then switch
off. The horn and siren can be triggered up to
three times.
To silence the alarm, press either handset
button. If the handset is inoperative, the alarm
can only be disarmed by entering the
emergency key access code (see Engine
immobilisation override).
Anti-theft alarm indicator light
A RED indicator light on the instrument panel
indicates the status of the alarm system.
When the alarm is armed successfully, the
light FLASHES rapidly. After 10 seconds, the
light adjusts to a slower frequency, and
continues flashing as an anti-theft deterrent
until the alarm is disarmed.
If the light fails to illuminate during the rapid
flash phase, this indicates a mislock (door or
bonnet not fully closed or key in starter
switch). If this occurs, the indicator light will
still flash at the slower frequency as an
anti-theft deterrent.
If the light illuminates continuously, this
indicates that the engine has immobilised
passively (see Engine immobilisation).

Interior protection
Interior protection is activated automatically
when the alarm system is armed; twin sensors
inside the vehicle monitor the interior space
and will activate the alarm if an intrusion is
detected.
However, if passengers or animals are to be
left inside the vehicle, or if a window or
sunroof is to be left open, the alarm must be
armed with interior protection DISABLED as
follows:
To disable interior protection:
1. Open the drivers door.
2. With the drivers door open, use the
handset to arm the alarm in the normal way.
3. Close the drivers door (the direction
indicator lights flash three times and the
anti-theft indicator light commences flashing
rapidly). The alarm system is now armed with
interior protection disabled.
WARNING
If the vehicle is to be left with windows or
sunroof open, or with passengers or animals
inside, the interior protection MUST BE
DISABLED, as described above.
NOTE:Interior protection will not operate for
the first 15 seconds after the alarm is set.ENGINE IMMOBILISATION
Engine immobilisation is an important aspect
of the vehicles security system, and occurs
automatically whenever the alarm system is
armed.
The system also includes a feature known as
passive immobilisation, which is designed to
safeguard the vehicle from theft should the
driver forget to lock the doors or arm the
alarm.
Passive immobilisation occurs automatically:
·thirty seconds after the starter switch has
been turned off AND the drivers door
opened.
·five minutes after the starter switch is
turned off or the alarm system is
disarmed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The engine immobilisation system relies
on the handset to re-mobilise the engine.
Look after the handsets at all times,
protecting them from loss, damage and
battery discharge.
If the engine has immobilised passively,
re-mobilisation will occur when the
starter switch is turned to position II,
provided the handset is on the same ring
as the key and in close proximity to the
switch.
·ALWAYS keep the handset on the
same ring as the key.
·NEVER attach both handsets to the
SAME key ring.
Any attempt to start the engine while it is
immobilised will cause the engine
immobilisation warning light (on the left
of the warning light panel) to flash.

15 Engine immobilisation override
If the handset is lost or fails to operate, engine
immobilisation can be overridden by using the
starter key to enter the four digit emergency
key access code (this code is recorded on the
Security Information card). The procedure for
entering the code is described below.
Before entering the code, note the following:
If your handset is lost or inoperative, it is
impossible to disarm the alarm. As soon as
the door is opened, the alarm will sound
(continuously for up to three 30 second
periods), and continue while the code is being
entered. Remove the handset from the key
ring and keep the handset well away from the
starter switch when entering the code.
1. With the drivers door closed, insert the key
into the starter switch, turn to position II and
hold in this position for 5 seconds. Then
switch off, and open and close the drivers
door.2. Turn the switch to position II the required
number of times to enter the first digit of the
code (if the first digit is 4, turn the key to
position II and then back to 0 four times).
3. Open the drivers door (to enter the first
digit) and then close the door again.
4. Turn the starter switch to position II and
back to 0 the required number of times to
enter the SECOND digit of the code.
5. Open the drivers door (to enter the second
digit) and then close the door again.
6. Turn the starter switch to position II and
back to 0 the required number of times to
enter the THIRD digit of the code.
7. Open the drivers door (to enter the third
digit) and then close the door again.
8. Turn the starter switch to position II and
back to 0 the required number of times to
enter the FOURTH digit of the code.
9. Finally, OPEN and CLOSE the drivers door.
If the code has been entered correctly, the
anti-theft indicator light will extinguish and the
engine can be started. 
						

							Locks & alarm
16 If an incorrect code has been entered:
If the code is entered incorrectly, the anti-theft
indicator light will continue to illuminate and
the engine will fail to start. Before entering the
code again, turn the starter switch to position
II and hold in this position for 5 seconds.
After three failed attempts, the security
system invokes a delay period of thirty
minutes during which the system will not
accept any further codes.
WARNING
·NEVER leave the Security Information
card in the vehicle.
·Memorise the emergency key access
code or keep the Security Information
card on your person in case of
emergencies.

HANDSET BATTERY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
·BEFORE replacing a handset battery,
disarm the alarm and unlock the
doors.
·DO NOT remove an expired battery
until you are ready to install the
replacement.
·The engine will immobilise five
minutes after the key is removed
from the starter switch. If handset
battery replacement is NOT
completed within this period, the
emergency key access code will
have to be entered before the
handset can be synchronised.
The handset battery should last for
approximately three years dependent upon
use. When the battery needs replacing it will
be apparent from the following symptoms:
·The handset will only work every other
operation while disarming.
·The direction indicator lights will not flash
when the alarm is disarmed.
