Just got my March'07 HSE back from LR having fixed a few of the minor ECU issues again [non start/trip reset, SRS message on startup, roof linning loose after sunroof fix, clunk noise in driver door also asked them to check GRC funtion - just can't seem to get it to function on 10% hills]. I always dead lock the car at night, yesterday morning unlocked the LR with a single press of the key fob and it did not unlock the boot (trunk for the US guys), thought nothing of it as figured I pressed the button. This morning the same thing , played with the different lock options. If you dead lock the car it would appear after these ECU updates it does not unlock the boot unless you do a full car unlock or just the boot release or do the particle lock (single lock). Anyone else seen the same - is this a new feature or just another ECU screw-up or just me ?

Hi Mork

I have not had a system update for a while, but upon opening my deadlocked car with one press the drivers door and boot are unlocked. two presses the other doors unlock.

I would prefer to have the one press one-door option, and press the boot button if i want to go in the boot as i feel the boot should remain locked unless to want to go in there or the door unlock button is pressed twice.

Mork,

My car was in a couple of weeks ago and had ECU updates which have changed the locking/unlocking actions similar to what you describe. Reason the car was in was that boot lock switch had failed, could not open boot form outside.

Previously from lock or dead lock a single press of unlock would allow drivers door and boot to be opened, unlock all doors required a second press of unlock.

Now from either lock or dead lock a single press of unlock only allows the drivers door to be opened, a second press of unlock is now required for the boot as well as other doors.

I noticed this change when I was checking the car before I left the dealer, technician came out and I explained to him, but didn't get an explanation from him as to why the change had occured.

Its no big deal but its strange when these changes take place without explanation !!!

check the handbook, to change between the two locking options just unlock car and continue to hold down unlock button for a few seconds.

Hmmmmmmm............this is strange

Had a software update 2 days ago, my doors open as they did before the update.

1 press opens drivers door, fuel filler cap, and boot.
2 presses opens the rest of the doors.

Is there different software going around  ______________________

Just had a software update a week ago and unlocking function changed to what Mork describes. I'll try Tandemman's way of switching back to the old way. Actually the new unlocking function is safer, but I usually use the boot when I first unlock the car, so...

With you all mentioning software updates is there a reason why your getting theses updates i am only asking as i have never had or been told that i would have to have an update ...is this something that is done just when the car goes back to the dealer if you have a problem?

Letters from LR to inform us about recalls, etc, etc?
For the time being it's just me who sends them letters trying to convince them to take my problems seriously.

SRS message on startup

I've seen this a few times, but everything works fine.
Does somebody know what it means

I sometimes get this message on start-up but not every time so have taken no notice of it ______________________

Thanks for all your feedback. Popped into the dealer on the way back from customer visit and spoke to the sales guy. Well this is interesting, he confirmed this is standard behaviour until I showed him the user manual... then "hummmmm"... he said the hand book is misleading and this was in fact how "his" car worked. We then had a play with the showroom model, which behaved like mine, to unlock the boot you either double pressed the unlock or just the boot opener button. So I have changed the method of opening the car to unlock all the doors with one press (see hand book) as I have had my wife lock keys in the boot in the past by just using the boot unlock and putting the keys down while putting shopping in so don't trust the boot only unlock method. As I open the driver door and boot most journeys thsi saves the double press method

Interesting twist to ECU update though.

The SRS message for me only happened on start-up.
