A new separate Land Rover back-up start page is up at the site

Land Rover back-up start

After updating Land Rover back-up start procedures it was clear that the company needed its own page. That page is now up. Jaguar gets to keep the original.

When we first made the page, the sister companies shared nearly identical procedures, back up start locations and key fobs. Over time, those have diverged enough to make for a very confusing page. The “New” Range Rover models in particular take a very different route to getting the car started (right).

Back-up start procedures are made necessary by the small disk batteries in the fobs wearing out. And if the car is locked, a back-up entry procedure is needed as well.

Land Rover and Jaguar currently share a page here as well and it also will need separating. Our next project.

Smart Keys or Intelligent Keys, or Access Keys — or whatever the manufacturer of your chooses to call them — that let you into your car and start it with just a touch use up their internal batteries at alarming rates, catching busy drivers unawares — even though the car had tried to warn you.

Our goal is to help you feel safe — and keep you moving or get you moving if at all possible — rather than leave you fretting whenever your key fob stops working. The instructions for getting into and starting most keyless start cars can be found on our pages — without roadside assistance.

You can see the new Land Rover back-up start page here and the original page now only used by Jaguar here.
