If the vehicle has been unlocked using the emergency key blade or the Smart Key is not detected by the vehicle, it will be necessary to use the keyless start backup to disarm the alarm and start the engine.

The keyless start backup can only be used when the message Smart Key Not Found Place As Shown is displayed in the message center.

Position the Smart Key against the underside of the steering column cover with the buttons facing downwards.

Note: There are markings on the cover to help locate the correct position.

When the Smart Key is positioned in this area, it will be recognized by the vehicle and the message Smart Key recognized will be displayed in the message center.

Holding the Smart Key in position and the brake pedal depressed, press and release the START/STOP button to start the engine.

Once the engine has been started, you no longer need to hold the Smart Key against the steering column cover.

Note: If the Smart Key is not recognized or the engine still fails to start, consult your Land Rover Retailer/ Authorized Repairer.

If the engine persistently fails to start, make sure the transmission is in P or N and press the START/STOP button (without applying the brake pedal) to switch on the ignition. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal fully, then hold it in the fully down position and press the START/STOP button with the brake pedal applied. The engine will then begin to crank. Release the accelerator pedal when the engine starts.

If the engine fails to crank, or fails to start, consult your Land Rover Retailer/Authorized Repairer.
