just heard from transport company that my XKRS is going to sit in a trailer for a week while they wait for 2 other cars to join the ride; it will be 12-14 days sitting with the spare key fob in the glove box. Its active.

Hearing all the battery discharge /CTEK comments on here; do I need to tell them to pull the key from the glove box as the car and fob will be "communicating"?

thanks in advance

 

Can't they just disconnect the car battery?

 

With the Smart Key inside the vehicle, the electrical system is in 'convenience mode' and the following systems are therefore active:

1. Driver position memory
2. Seat and steering column adjustment
3. Interior and exterior lighting
4. Message centre
5. Auxiliary power socket

Keyless entry can develop a mind of its own if the main battery becomes discharged. I'd have them remove the Smart Key from the vehicle and set the alarm to ensure it's in sleep mode during the storage period.

Whichever of my cars I'm using, the other sits in the garage with a CTEK connected so maybe I'm just over cautious!
