Understanding Walk-away Lock and Approach Unlock

These features are designed to simplify vehicle access and security, making your interactions with your Range Rover Sport more intuitive and effortless. Let’s delve deeper into how each function operates:

Walk-away Lock: Automatic Security as You Depart

The Walk-away Locking feature activates automatically when the key fob moves approximately 2 meters (around 6.5 feet) away from your vehicle. Upon activation, you’ll notice several actions taking place, confirming your car is securely locked:

  • Door Handles Retract: The door handles will automatically move into their closed, flush position, providing a sleek look and enhanced security.
  • Side Mirrors Fold In: The side mirrors will fold inwards, reducing the risk of damage in tight parking spaces and further indicating the vehicle is locked.
  • Security System Engages: Your Range Rover Sport’s security system is fully activated, providing comprehensive protection against theft and unauthorized access.

This feature offers peace of mind, ensuring your vehicle is always locked without the need to manually press any buttons, especially useful when your hands are full or you’re in a hurry.

Approach Unlock: Effortless Access as You Return

The Approach Unlocking feature works in reverse, providing seamless entry to your vehicle. As you approach your Range Rover Sport with the key fob within a 1.5-meter (approximately 5 feet) radius, the system springs into action:

  • Door Handles Deploy: The door handles will automatically present themselves, extending outwards for easy access.
  • Side Mirrors Unfold: The side mirrors will unfold to their normal driving position, providing immediate visibility.
  • Vehicle Disarms: The security system is disarmed, allowing you to open the door and enter your vehicle without delay.

This feature enhances convenience, particularly in situations where you’re carrying items or simply prefer a keyless entry experience as you approach your car.

Customization via PiVi Pro

Both the Walk-away Lock and Approach Unlock features are easily customizable to your preferences. You can conveniently enable or disable these functions through your Range Rover Sport’s intuitive PiVi Pro infotainment system. Simply navigate to the “Vehicle,” then “Safety,” and finally “Security” menus to manage these settings.

Note: These features are compatible with Range Rover Sport models from 2022 onwards.
