key remote/deadbolt?

05 stype My remote key locks the car with one push and on the second press it chirps and sounds like a deadbolt latches. Does pressing twice lock the car even moreso providing greater security? Checked my manual and this site for "deadbolt" and I didn't find anything. My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere.

It appears your manual may have addressed my question but unfortunately mine doesn't. What prompted my question was I thought I had read somewhere on here about a deadbolt or greater degree of security. After reading my manual I could not confirm this...just thought I'd ask. Anyone else care to comment?

As far as I know, the horn sounds on the second press simply to confirm locking if you aren't watching the light show when the button is first pressed. I would guess that all the locks trigger a second time.
By "arm", it means that the alarm is turned on.
Here's the section from the book.

Vehicle Locking and Unlocking
To lock the vehicle and set alarm
• Press the lock button on the key transmitter, or;
• Put the key in the driver’s door lock, turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle and release.
The direction indicators will flash once, the security light on the top of the fascia will start flashing and, after 20 seconds, the alarm will be set.
If a door, the hood or the luggage compartment lid are open and an attempt is made to lock the vehicle with the key in
the driver’s door lock, the direction indicators will flash five times as a warning that the vehicle is not secure.
If a door is open and an attempt is made to lock the vehicle with the transmitter, the direction indicators will flash seven
times as a warning that the vehicle is not secure.
If the hood or luggage compartment lid are open and an attempt is made to lock the vehicle with the transmitter, the
direction indicators will flash five times indicating that the vehicle is not secure.

It was dark so I didn't see much but this is what it appears is happening.

Checked this morning. I sat in the car without the key in the ignition. Locked and unlocked the doors with the remote. First press, locked the doors and generated the light show. Second press....re-cycled the door locks which were already locked and chirped the horn.
IOW, the second press does nothing significant other than honking.

Odd. On other cars the 2nd remote press arms any inernal alarm sensors (ultrasonics) and deadlocks the doors (so the internal handles don't function). Commonly after a short delay, say 30 secs. You didn't leave the key in the ignition?
My STR makes a "thunk" after the 2nd press but not after the 1st, so it's doing something mechanical. I figured deadlocking.

The second press is a deadlock. It is meant to be additional security to deter and make more difficult the act of breaking into the car.You can break the window reach through and open the door on using the first lock - but with the deadlock system this is not possible. I always use it when leaving my car in unfamiliar territory or for a long period of time.

OK, here is my guess.
Please note that this only applies to US vehicles.
First press of the lock button on the fob locks all doors and sets the alarm.
Second press of the lock button on the fob does the same thing as the first but also sounds the horn. The car telling you " I heard you the first time...stop pressing the button"
Jag may have a dead lock feature, but elected to not install it in US cars out of fear that some numb nut would lock themselves in their own car and not realize there is a lock button on the center stack, forcing Jaguar into a class action law suit after multiple instances of starvation....
Sorry...just had to do it... let the beatings begin...
