Land Rover Discovery: Door locks and release levers
While a door is open, the locking
latch is exposed. If your vehicle is
fitted with the 'soft close' feature,
do not attempt to manually close
the latch, as it may also
automatically 'soft close' and trap
items or body parts.

MISLOCK
When locking the vehicle with the Smart
key, a mislock can occur if:
- One or more of the doors, the bonnet
or the luggage area is not fully closed.
- The ignition is ON.
- A Smart key is left inside the vehicle.
If any of the above are present, the vehicle
will NOT lock and there will be an audible
mislock error warning. The hazard warning
lamps will NOT flash and the door mirrors
(if enabled) will NOT fold in. Check that
all of the doors, the bonnet and the
luggage area are closed properly. Make
sure the ignition is switched OFF and lock
the vehicle again. If the mislock persists,
consult your Retailer/Authorised Repairer
DEACTIVATING THE ALARM
WHEN TRIGGERED
If the alarm has been triggered, it can be
deactivated by any one of the following
methods:
- Pressing the unlock button on the
Smart key.
- Opening a door using Keyless entry.
- Pressing the START/STOP button with
a valid Smart key positioned correctly.
The cause of the last alarm activation can
be displayed in the Message centre.
Emergency locking
In the event of the battery discharging, or
a fault with the locking system, each of the
doors must be locked manually.
The emergency key blade is required for
this procedure.
Note: Do not leave the emergency key
blade in the vehicle at any point during
the emergency locking procedure.
