Jaguar X-Type JJM 21 02 20/15 - Manual (Page 28)

2-10 Security and locks
Security features
The security system has been designed
for:
• Prevention of theft of the vehicle
• Prevention of theft of items from the
vehicle
• Personal security
The security system is integrated with the
vehicle electronics and engine
management systems making it far more
difficult for a thief to penetrate and steal
the vehicle.
Intrusion sensing
A further enhancement to the security
system is the addition of intrusion
sensing. When the vehicle is armed and
double-locked, movement within the
vehicle interior will activate the alarm.
The luggage compartment can be
unlocked, using the key transmitter
button, without sounding the alarm.
When the security system is disarmed the
intrusion sensors are also disarmed.
Note: Ensure that manually operated
rear windows are closed before
double-locking the vehicle. This will
prevent intrusion sensing falsely sounding
the alarm.
Inclination (tilt) sensing
protection
This feature protects against unauthorised
towing away or jacking up. When the
vehicle is double-locked and armed, any
tilting of the vehicle, such as jacking or
lifting, will activate the alarm.
Note: If the vehicle is being transported
by road, rail or sea, the vehicle should not
be double-locked. This prevents the
inclination system from being armed and
sounding the alarm as the vehicle pitches
and rolls.
When the security system is disarmed the
inclination sensor is also disarmed.
Battery reconnection
If the battery has been disconnected and
is subsequently reconnected, the alarm
system will resume the same state as
before the battery was disconnected.
If the alarm was sounding when the
battery was disconnected it will sound
again when the battery is reconnected
and will need the transmitter unlock
button to be pressed or key placed in the
ignition switch and turned to position ‘I’
to disarm it.
Panic alarm
When in or near the vehicle, the 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/panic
button on the key transmitter three times
within three seconds will activate the
‘Panic Alarm’.
The alarm is stopped by:
• putting the key into the ignition
switch and turning to position ‘II’ or
• pressing either the transmitter panic
button three times or one press of the
unlock button.
Battery back-up sounder
In certain markets a separate,
self-contained, battery back-up sounder
is fitted. This device will sound the full
alarm if the vehicle alarm is activated or if
the vehicle battery or the sounder is
disconnected when the security system is
armed.
