2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Exiting The Vehicle
SINGLE LOCKING
Before exiting the vehicle, always make sure of the following: Park (P) gear is selected. The engine is switched off. The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied. The smart key is removed from the vehicle.
This is to protect the safety of those inside and outside the vehicle.
No modifications or additions should be made to the security system. Such changes could cause the system to malfunction.
Briefly press the lock button on the smart key to lock the vehicle and arm the perimetric alarm. The hazard warning lights flash to confirm.
Single locking secures the vehicle and prevents the doors from being opened from the outside. The doors may still be unlocked and opened from inside the vehicle.
Once armed, the alarm activates if:
- The hood, tailgate, or a door is opened.
- The engine START/STOP button is pressed without a valid smart key present.
- The vehicle’s battery is disconnected.
- An attempt is made to disconnect the alarm’s siren.
- An attempt is made to disconnect the battery back-up sounder.
Always secure the vehicle when left unattended.
KEYLESS LOCKING
The smart key may not be detected if it is inside a metal container, or is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen. For example, a smartphone, laptop, including when inside a laptop bag or a games console. Keep the smart key clear of such devices when attempting keyless entry, keyless locking, or push button starting.
Loose coins, in the same pocket as the smart key, may also affect its detection.
The vehicle does not lock automatically.
Keyless locking activates only if the smart key is detected outside the vehicle. If no smart key is present, locking does not occur.
The vehicle has deployable door handles.
Door lock/unlock button (1) Press to lock or unlock the vehicle.
Keyless unlocking: The smart key must be in range of the door being unlocked.
To unlock the vehicle without using the smart key, press the button on any retracted door handle to unlock.
When the door handle is in the deployed position, the door is unlocked.
Keyless locking: The smart key must be in range of the door being locked. All of the doors, the tailgate, and the hood must be closed and the ignition must be switched off.
To lock the vehicle using the lock/unlock button (1) press the door lock/unlock button twice within 3 seconds from any deployed door handle. When the doors lock, the door handles retract to the flush position. The hazard warning lights flash twice to confirm that the vehicle is locked and the full alarm is armed. An audible confirmation may also sound.
If any door, the tailgate, or the hood is open, or the ignition is switched on, no audible mislock error warning sounds. The hazard warning lights do not flash and the power-fold mirrors, if enabled, do not fold in.
Make sure that the ignition is switched off, and that all of the doors, the hood, and the tailgate are closed properly. Lock the vehicle again. If the mislock persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
LOCK CONFIRMATION
If uncertain about the vehicle’s locked and armed status, press the lock button on the smart key. With keyless entry, touch a lock button on an exterior door handle. The hazard warning lights flash once to indicate and confirm the current lock status. One short flash means that the vehicle is single locked.
MISLOCK
When locking the vehicle with the smart key, a mislock can occur if:
- One or more of the doors, the hood, or the tailgate are not fully closed.
- One or more of the doors have failed to lock.
- The vehicle’s ignition is switched on.
If any of the above are present, the vehicle does not lock and an audible mislock error warning sounds. The hazard warning lights do not flash and the power-fold mirrors, if enabled, do not fold in. Check that all of the doors, the windows, the hood, and the tailgate are closed properly. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is switched off. Lock the vehicle again. If the mislock persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
Operating any door handle while attempting to unlock, lock, or change the child lock status may cause the security system to ignore any requests.

In the event of a fault with the alarm and/or locking system, manually secure the vehicle by locking all doors via the driver’s door key barrel.
The emergency key blade is required for this procedure. See SMART KEY OPERATION.
Using the emergency key:
- Make sure all apertures are closed and insert the emergency key blade into the driver’s door key barrel.
- Turn the emergency key blade 90° clockwise.
- All of the doors single lock and access to the luggage compartment is inhibited.
- Pull the exterior door handles to check that the doors are locked. When doing so, make sure any valid smart keys are at least 2 m away from the doors.
If the issue persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer for rectification as soon as possible.
In the event of the battery discharging, each of the doors must be locked manually.
The emergency key blade is required for this procedure. See SMART KEY OPERATION.
Using the emergency key:
- Open a door and locate the emergency lock access cover on the edge of the door. The cover has an embossed lock icon. Insert the emergency key blade into the cover’s slot. Rotate the cover counter-clockwise to first release it, then pull to remove it from the door. Keep the lock access cover safe.
- Insert the emergency key blade firmly into the emergency lock. A firm push activates the door’s locking mechanism.
