Land Rover Discovery: Keyless start backup
If the vehicle is 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
feature to disarm the alarm and start the
engine.
The Keyless start backup feature can only
be used when the message Smart Key
Not Recognised - Reposition or Place As
Shown and Press Start Button is
displayed in the Message centre.

- Position the Smart key flat against the
underside of the steering column, with
the buttons facing downwards.
Note: There are markings on the
steering column to help locate the
correct position.
- While holding the Smart key in
position:
Automatic transmission: Firmly press
the brake pedal.
Manual transmission: Firmly press the
clutch pedal.
- Press and release the engine START/
STOP button.
Once the engine starts, release the brake
pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch
pedal (manual transmission), if it is safe to
do so.
If the Smart key is not recognised, or the
engine fails to start, consult a Retailer/
Authorised Repairer.
