Sleeping In A Range Rover

I don’t know if I’m alone in trying this but a blow up mattress fits nicely in the back of my Range Rover, and it’s quieter and more comfortable in there than in a tent so the other day while camping at a motor racing event I moved the mattress into the car and thought I’d try sleeping in it overnight instead, seemed like a good idea.

It was so annoying! I tried locking it from the inside, I tried not locking it at all I tried locking it with the keys and all of it was a nightmare!

Even if I left the car unlocked, crept inside and shut the door, every 5 minutes the doors would click three times as if they were trying to lock or something, so weird and so annoying! I tried locking it from the drivers door button and still the same “click,click, click” would happen every now and again. Tried locking it with the key, obviously the alarm went off so I went back to just leaving it unlocked and hoping that after a while it would stop.

Has anyone got any tips on sleeping in your Range Rover and locking/not locking it?

Other than that it was brilliant!

Can you isolate the internal alarm with a second press of the key as one does with the 2002-04 models (like mine)? I have to do that to stop that alarm going off when camped when the fridge turns on and its fan disturbs the air.

All of my previous Range Rovers and current have been able to be locked when I was driving it or sat in it with the engine off. I cannot see why you can’t lock it by pressing the appropriate button. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Do the back seats fold down flat? Mine don’t when I put them down but is there a separate way to get them to go flat?

Not sure what you are trying when you say fold flat but they are a two stage fold. First the back folds down on to the seat base with the lever on the back of the seat. When they are folded down, grab the base of the seat and pull upward and forward towards the front seats and you have a longer flatter load space. To get them back down so the seat base clips to the floor, pull the yellow release tab on the bottom of the seat. Current Fleet:-

Hi, was it anything to do with the proximity of the key to the dash? I get a frew solenoid clicks as soon as I am about to put my key in the ignition.... Never just sat in the car for a while after pushing the lock button on the dash. -Must try it!
