Alarm Systems

R

BATTERY RECONNECTION

If the battery has been disconnected and 
is subsequently reconnected, the alarm 
system will rearm as the battery is 
reconnected.

Note: Make sure that a key transmitter is 
available to disarm the system when 
reconnecting the battery. Either press the 
unlock button on the transmitter, or insert 
the key in the ignition switch.

REMOTE HEADLIGHT 
CONVENIENCE

By pressing the key transmitter button 
with the dipped headlamp symbol once, 
the headlamps will come on for 25 
seconds, unless the headlamp button is 
pressed again, or if the key is inserted in 
the ignition switch and turned to
position II.

PANIC ALARM

When in or near the vehicle, the panic 
alarm can be set off to deter a possible 
offender. For this feature to operate, the 
key must not be in the ignition switch.

Pressing the headlamp convenience and 
panic button on the key transmitter three 
times within three seconds will activate 
the Panic Alarm.

The alarm is stopped by inserting the key 
in the ignition switch or by pressing the 
headlamp convenience and panic button 
on the key transmitter three times within 
three seconds.

Garage Door Opener

GARAGE DOOR OPENER 
TRANSCEIVER

The garage door opener transceiver is 
located in the roof console. This 
transceiver can be programmed to 
transmit the radio frequencies of up to 
three different transmitters, which can be 
used to activate garage doors, entry 
gates, home lighting, security systems, or 
other radio frequency operated devices.

Although this section mainly describes 
the procedures for a garage door opener, 
it also equally applies to the previously 
mentioned applications.

In some countries this feature is also 
known as the HomeLink® Universal 
Transceiver.

The transceiver radio frequency approval 
numbers for the USA and Canada are 
shown below:

USA - FCC: K8597 R315.

Canada - CAN: 2145 101 790A.

For further information, or for assistance, 
contact your Jaguar Dealer, or the 
supplier, by phone or via the internet. For 
details, see Information and assistance on 
page 53.

!

WARNING:

• Do not use the transceiver with any 

garage door opener that lacks the 
safety stop and reverse feature, as 
required by safety standards. A 
garage door opener which cannot 
detect an object, signalling the 
door to stop and reverse, does not 
meet current safety standards. 
Using a garage door opener 
without these features increases 
the risk of serious injuries or death.

• When programming the transceiver 

to a garage door opener or entry 
gate, make sure that people, 
vehicles and objects are out of the 
way to prevent potential harm or 
damage, as the gate or garage door 
will activate during the programme.

• This device may suffer from 

interference if operated in the 
vicinity of a mobile or fixed station 
transmitter. This interference is 
likely to affect the hand-held 
transmitter as well as the in-car 
transceiver.

Before Programming

Caution: When programming a garage 
door opener or entry gate, that may 
require you to press and re-press the 
hand-held transmitter (cycle), unplug 
the device during the cycling process 
to prevent possible motor failure.

It is recommended that for best results, fit 
a new battery to the hand-held transmitter 
of the garage door opener (or other 
device) before programming. If your 
garage door opener receiver (located in 
the garage) is equipped with an antenna, 
make sure that the antenna is hanging 
straight down.

To erase all programming

For first time programming, make sure 
that the engine is switched off:

1. Turn the ignition switch to position I.

2. Press and hold the two outer buttons 

on the garage door opener in the 
overhead console. Keep the buttons 
pressed; the indicator lamp will 
illuminate. The indicator lamp is part 
of the middle button in the garage 
door opener in the overhead console.

3. Release the buttons when the lamp 

begins to flash (this will take 
approximately 20 seconds).

All memories in the garage door opener 
have now been cleared.

Note: Do not perform this procedure 
when programming the additional garage 
door opener buttons.

Programming the vehicle

Making sure that the engine is switched 
off:

1. Turn the ignition switch to position I.

2. Hold the end of the original garage 

door opener hand-held transmitter 
approximately 5.0 to 15.0 cm 
(2 to 6 inches) away from the 
transceiver in the roof console, 
keeping the indicator lamp in view.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously 

press and hold both the desired 
garage door opener button on the 
overhead console and the hand-held 
transmitter button. Keep both buttons 
pressed. The lamp will flash slowly at 
first and then change to a fast flash. 
When the indicator lamp flashes 
rapidly, release both buttons. The 
rapid flashing lamp indicates 
successful programming.

4. If, after 60 seconds, the indicator lamp 

does not flash rapidly, release both 
the transceiver and the hand-held 
transmitter buttons and repeat the 
procedure starting with Step 2. 
Position the hand-held transmitter at 
a different angle and or distance.

5. Press and hold the programmed 

overhead console garage door opener 
button and observe the indicator 
lamp.

• If the indicator lamp is solid or 

continuous, programming is complete 
and your device should activate when 
the garage door opener button is 
pressed and held for approximately 
one to two seconds and then 
released.

• If the indicator lamp blinks rapidly for 

two seconds and then turns a solid or 
continuous light, proceed with the 
following programming instructions 
for rolling code device equipment.

Note: To programme additional 

garage door opener buttons, begin at 
Step 2.

Rolling code device equipment 
programming

Note: A second person may make the 
following steps quicker and easier, as 
once the button has been pressed there 
are only 30 seconds in which to complete 
Step 3.

1. At the garage door opener receiver 

(motor head unit) in the garage, locate 
the learn or smart button or switch.

Note: The name of the button or 

switch may vary between 
manufacturers.

2. Press and release the learn or smart 

button.

3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press 

and hold the programmed garage 
door opener button for two seconds 
and release.

4. Repeat the press and hold and 

release sequence three times to 
complete the training process.

The garage door opener in the overhead 
console should now activate the rolling 
code device.

Reprogramming a single garage door 
opener button

To programme a device to previously 
trained button:

1. Press and hold the desired 

pre-programmed garage door opener 
button for at least 20 seconds, but no 
longer than 30 seconds, until the 
indicator lamp begins to flash.

2. Without releasing the overhead 

console button, position the 
hand-held transmitter approximately 
5.0 to 15.0 cm (2 to 6 inches) away 
from the transceiver in the overhead 
console, keeping the indicator lamp in 
view.

3. Carry out Step 3 of Programming the 

vehicle on page 51.

Entry gate - Canadian programming

The technology of some entry gates 
requires you to press and re-press (cycle) 
the hand-held transmitter button every 
two seconds during programming.

Continue to press and hold the desired 
overhead console button while you cycle 
your hand-held transmitter, until the 
indicator lamp flashes rapidly.
