Start Control Docking Station Unit Door Flap Latch

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

New XK

VIN:
B11607 onwards

Model Year:
2007

CONDITION SUMMARY:

START CONTROL DOCKING STATION UNIT DOOR FLAP LATCH PROVIDED

Situation:
This bulletin has been published to inform Dealers that beginning with VIN B11607 the New XK Start Control docking station door has a latch to allow the docking station door to be held in the open position. This feature ensures that the Smart Key will properly eject during vehicle transportation to dealerships.

NOTE:
The Start Control docking station door flap must be "latched" in the open position during vehicle assembly and remain in the open position until dealer PDI.

While the Start Control docking station flap is latched open, the Smart Key can properly eject during vehicle transportation to a dealership.

CAUTION:
If the Smart Key does not properly eject, the transit relay will not disengage, leaving the potential for unnecessary vehicle battery drain that could require a battery replacement or lead to early-life battery failure.

Action:
After "passive start" has been activated during Dealer Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI), and the Smart Key has been removed from the docking station, the docking station door latch must be released and the docking station door closed to prevent dirt or foreign matter from entering.

PARTS:

No parts required. Information purposes only.

WARRANTY:

No Warranty information required. This bulletin is for information purposes only. Normal warranty policy and procedures apply.
