Just traded in my wife's 08 Range Rover Sport SC for a 2011 LR4 (Gray, HSE, Vision, 20" wheels, Logic7) and so far we are really loving it. Despite supposedly being a "step down" from the RR Sport, I like everything about the LR4 better, and can't wait to take it on the beach (Assateague Island, MD) this summer.
However, I am currently obsessed with one inconsquential issue that a forum search hasn't been able to clarify. Both the owner's manual and LR instructional videos talk about keyless entry, i.e. pulling on the handle opening a locked door as long as the smartkey is nearby (not pressing the button on the key fob). I simply can't get this to work, and was wondering if I'm missing something. The doors lock/unlock with the fob no problem. Push-button start is A-OK. I wouldn't even have noticed/cared if it wasn't for the manual/video.
The only thing I can see is that the manual also makes reference to "keyless locking" and shows a door handle with a button on it. The video for keyless entry shows the same button. My LR4 doesn't have this button on the handle. Out of curiousity, I drove to the closest RR dealership yesterday and noticed that 2 of the 4 LR4s in the lot had this button. Is this simply an instance (like Voice Command) where later production models no longer have this option?
Any input would greatly ease my curiosity. Thanks!
