JLR introduces InControl advanced connectivity package

Jaguar Land Rover has introduced assistance and connectivity features like Protect, Remote Premium and Secure Tracker as part of the InControl Package. These features are now available on the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery models.

Protect:

In an event of a breakdown, the driver can request roadside assistance by pressing the 'Optimised Assistance' button on the left side of the overhead console. This will connect the driver with a helpline operator who will then guide the service unit to the vehicle. The InControl Remote Smartphone App can also be used to request for assistance. 

In case of an emergency, the driver can send out an SOS by pressing the button on the right side of the of the overhead console. However, a serious incident such as an accident would automatically trigger the SOS Emergency Call feature and connect the user to the emergency response team. 

Remote Premium:

Owners can use the smartphone app to remotely control some of the vehicle functions. Users can activate heating or cooling and set their desired temperature before entering the vehicle. Using the app, users can remotely lock or unlock the vehicle. The app displays alerts when the vehicle alarm has activated and can also help locate the vehicle in a crowded parking lot. The app also has a seat fold function.

Secure Tracker:

If the vehicle is stolen, this feature can automatically notify it to the 'Stolen Vehicle Tracking Centre' that will immediately alert the owner. The exact location of the stolen vehicle can be traced at the request of the local law enforcement agency.
