Owner’s Handbook

This handbook covers all current versions of Land Rover Discovery petrol and diesel models and, together with the Service Portfolio book, provides all the information you need to derive maximum pleasure from owning and driving your new vehicle.

For your convenience, the handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the vehicle. These are listed on the title page and you will find it worthwhile to take a little time to read each one, and get to know your Discovery as soon as you possibly can. The more you understand before you drive, the greater the satisfaction once you are seated behind the steering wheel.

IMPORTANT

The specification of each vehicle will vary according to territorial requirements and also from model to model within the vehicle range. Some of the information published in this handbook, therefore, may not apply to your particular vehicle.

Land Rover operates a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without notice at any time. Whilst every effort is made to ensure complete accuracy of the information in this handbook, no liabilities for inaccuracies or the consequences thereof can be accepted by the manufacturer or the dealer, except in respect of personal injury caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.

Introduction

BEFORE YOU DRIVE

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance and, hence, a higher centre of gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This will result in different handling characteristics. Inexperienced drivers should take additional care, particularly in off-road driving situations and when performing abrupt manoeuvres on unstable surfaces.

SYMBOLS USED

The following symbols used within the handbook call your attention to specific types of information.

This recycling symbol identifies those

items that must be disposed of safely in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the environment.

This symbol identifies those features that

can be adjusted or disabled/enabled by a Land Rover dealer

*An asterisk appearing within the text,

identifies features or items of equipment that are either optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range.

WARNINGS IN THIS HANDBOOK

SECURITY CARD

The security card, supplied with the literature pack, contains important emergency information. It is ESSENTIAL that you keep the card safe from theft and ensure that it is passed to the new owner if you sell the vehicle.

• Key number: This is the number of the

starter/door key - essential if you ever need to obtain a replacement.

• Emergency key access code: You will need

this code in order to start the vehicle if the handset has been lost or damaged (see ‘Emergency key access’, page 18).

• Locking wheel nut number: If your vehicle

has locking wheel nuts, you will have been provided with a special wheel nut socket to remove them. You will need to quote this number to obtain a replacement socket.

• VIN (vehicle identification number): This

identity number is unique to your vehicle and is essential proof of its specification. The number can also be found in various locations around the vehicle (see ‘VEHICLE

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)’, page 162).

• Radio security code number: This unique

code must be entered into the radio whenever the power supply has been disconnected. Without this code, the radio unit will not operate (see 'Security code' in the 'In-Car Entertainment' book).

WARNING

Safety warnings are included in this handbook. These indicate either a procedure which must be followed precisely, or information that should be considered with great care in order to avoid the possibility of personal injury or serious damage to the vehicle.

WARNING

Never leave the security card inside the vehicle when it is unattended.

Memorise the emergency key access code, or keep the card on your person while driving, in case of emergencies.

Introduction

SERVICE PORTFOLIO

The Service Portfolio book included in your literature pack contains important vehicle identification information, details of your entitlement under the terms of the Land Rover warranty, as well as useful consumer advice.

Most important of all, however, is the section on maintenance. This outlines the servicing requirements for your vehicle and also includes the First Service Voucher, and the service record slips, which the Dealer should sign and stamp to certify that the routine services have been carried out at the recommended intervals.

WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE

Warning labels attached to your vehicle bearing this symbol mean: DO NOT touch or adjust components until you have read the relevant instructions in the handbook.

Warning labels showing this symbol indicate that the ignition system utilises very high voltages. DO NOT touch any ignition components while the starter switch is turned on!

GEARBOX SELECTOR LEVER LABELS

H2608

Information concerning operation of the transfer gearbox with either manual ‘A’ or automatic gearbox ‘B’ is printed on the centre console. This is important information and must be understood fully with reference to the ‘Gearbox and Transmission’ sections of this handbook, before using the transfer gearbox.

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:

• Wherever possible, consistent with

road safety and traffic conditions, the vehicle should be moved off the main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If a breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to the inside of the hard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position a warning triangle

or a flashing amber light at an appropriate distance from the vehicle to warn other traffic of the breakdown, (note the legal requirements of some countries).

• Consider evacuating passengers

through nearside doors onto the verge as a precaution in case your vehicle is accidentally struck by other traffic.

Locks & Alarm

KEYS AND HANDSETS

You have been supplied with two remote handsets with integral keys which operate all locks.

The key number is stamped on a tag attached to the key ring. Check that the key number has been entered in the space provided on your Security card.

If the remote handset is lost, contact a Land Rover dealer, who can supply replacement units.

WARNING

Keep the Security card and spare handset in a safe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE!

ALARM SYSTEM

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. There are also a number of additional security features, some of which are selectable options and some are standard features of the vehicle. In order to ensure maximum security and operating convenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the features and alternatives available, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY ALWAYS SUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE HANDSET (except when passengers are to be left inside or if it is necessary to leave a window or sunroof open).

Using the remote handset

H2467

While it is not necessary to point the handset at the vehicle, the handset must be within range of the vehicle when a button is pressed. Note that the operating range may vary depending upon handset battery condition and may sometimes be limited by physical and geographical factors beyond your control. From a security point of view, it may not be wise to unlock unless you are within a few feet of the vehicle.

Locking

With the remote handset: Press the lock (padlock symbol) button once:

• all doors are superlocked (see

‘Superlocking’, page 14)

• engine immobilised

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, bonnet and taildoor)

• interior space protection activated The direction indicator lights flash three times

to confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) starts to flash.

Locks & Alarm

With the key:

Insert the key and turn the door lock towards the rear of the vehicle:

• all doors locked (not superlocked)

• engine immobilised

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, bonnet and taildoor)

• NO INTERIOR SPACE PROTECTION The direction indicator lights flash once to

confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) starts to flash.

Unlocking

With the remote handset:

• Press the unlock (Land Rover) button once

to disarm the alarm and unlock the driver's door only (see ‘Single point entry’, page 16).

• Press the unlock button twice to disarm the

alarm and unlock ALL the doors.

In either case, the direction indicator lights flash once and the interior lights illuminate.

With the key:

While the doors can be unlocked using the key, this method is NOT RECOMMENDED depending on the specification of the vehicle the alarm may not be disarmed.

Superlocking

Provided all the doors are fully closed, the Superlocking feature is activated automatically whenever the vehicle is locked using the remote handset. Superlocking immobilises the interior door handles, thereby preventing an intruder from gaining entry by smashing a window and reaching inside the vehicle to operate the door handles.

Note that locking with the key will not activate superlocking.

WARNING

For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if passengers are to remain inside the vehicle in an emergency they would not be able to escape.

NOTE: If the handset does not operate after the

vehicle has been parked for a long period, unlock the driver's door with the key and then try again. If the handset still fails to operate, enter the EKA code using the procedure shown later in this section.

Locks & Alarm

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

H2546

This light provides information about the status of the alarm system, as follows:

When the vehicle is locked: The light flashes rapidly while the alarm is arming itself. After ten seconds, the light adjusts to a slower frequency and continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.

If the engine is immobilised (even though the alarm has been disarmed):

The light flashes slowly until the engine is remobilised.

If the alarm has been triggered: The light will flash rapidly when the alarm is disarmed until the starter switch is turned to position II.

If the remote handset battery power is low: The light will flash rapidly for ten seconds after the handset has been used when the driver's door is opened.

Mislock

If the driver's door is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound once, indicating a mislock. In this case, none of the doors will lock and the alarm system will not be armed.

If a passenger door or other aperture is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound once, indicating a mislock. However, the ‘partial arming’ attributes of the security system will enable as much of the system to be armed as possible (all fully closed door or bonnet apertures will be protected, but an open door will not!). As soon as the open aperture is closed, the system will automatically revert to a fully armed state.

NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open door, the superlocking and interior space protection features will not be activated.

The mislock audible warning can be disabled by a Land Rover dealer.

If the alarm sounds

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound for 30 seconds before switching off and resetting itself to the same protection status that existed prior to the alarm being triggered.

To silence the alarm, press either button on the remote handset.

Locks & Alarm

Headlight courtesy delay

When locking the vehicle, the remote handset can be used to illuminate the headlights for 30 seconds. At night this will make it easier for you to unlock the garage, or walk to your house in safety. Operate this feature at the same time as you lock the car, by keeping the handset LOCK button pressed for more than 2 seconds (the doors lock and alarm system arms in the usual way).

To extinguish the lights before the 30 second illumination period has expired, press the lock button again.

The headlight courtesy delay can be disabled by a Land Rover dealer.

Single point entry

This is a personal security feature, which enables the driver's door only to be unlocked, leaving the other doors in a locked state. It can be operated by the remote handset as follows:

• press the unlock button once to unlock the

driver's door.

• press a second time (within one minute) to

unlock the remaining doors.

Interior locking switch

H2633

This is a personal security feature which allows the driver to lock (or unlock) all the doors from inside the vehicle (while driving or with the vehicle stationary). Press the lower part of the switch to lock (the alarm will not be armed), and the upper part to unlock.

NOTE: If the locks have already been superlocked, the switch will not release the locks.

Single point entry can be disabled by a Land Rover dealer.

Interior door handles and door sill locking buttons

From inside the vehicle, each door can be individually locked by depressing the appropriate door sill button. However, doors cannot be unlocked by raising the sill button.

Use the door handles to unlock, as follows:

• First operation of the door handle unlocks

the door.

• Second operation of the door handle opens

the door.

Locks & Alarm

Interior space protection

H2468

Interior space protection is designed to protect the interior of the vehicle from intrusion (entry by a thief through a smashed window, for example). Two pairs of sensors monitor the interior space and activate the alarm if air movement is detected in the passenger compartment.

Using the handset:

Interior space protection is activated automatically whenever the remote handset is used to set the alarm and can ONLY be deactivated with the handset.

Key operation:

Using the key will NOT activate (or deactivate) interior space protection.

Speed-related locking

This security feature locks all the doors automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 7 km/h, and unlocks the doors as soon as the starter switch is turned off (provided the doors had previously been locked by the speed related feature).

Note speed-related locking is not selectable by the driver, and that operation of the door locks by any other means (interior locking switch on the fascia panel, for example) will disable the speed-related locking function for the remainder of the journey, or until the starter switch is turned off and on again.

Speed related locking can be selected or deselected by a Land Rover dealer.

NOTE: Interior space protection cannot be activated if a door is open, or if the starter switch is turned on.

WARNING

Never activate interior space protection if windows or sunroof are to be left open, or if passengers or animals are to be left inside the vehicle - any movement will activate the alarm.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION

Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the security system, and includes a feature known as ‘passive immobilisation’. This is designed to safeguard the vehicle from theft, should the driver forget to lock the doors and prevents the engine from being started unless the GENUINE handset key is inserted into the starter switch. Engine immobilisation is automatic whenever any of the following conditions occur.

• The vehicle is locked using handset or key.

• Thirty seconds after the starter switch has

been turned off AND the driver's door opened.

• Five minutes after the starter switch is

turned off, or the alarm system is disarmed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

When entering a code:

• ENSURE each key movement is carried

out with care and precision and turned to the full extent of its travel.

• After turning the key to either the lock

or unlock positions, make sure it is FULLY returned to the centre (vertical) position.

• An interval of 10 seconds or more

between key turns, or the key being held in a locked or unlocked position for 5 seconds or more will cancel an entry attempt, in which case you must start again with operation 1.

NOTE: The engine will be re-mobilised automatically whenever the genuine handset key is inserted into the starter switch and turned to position ‘II’.

Emergency key access

If the handset is damaged, or fails to operate, the engine can be re-mobilised by using the key to enter a unique four number emergency key access code. The code is recorded on the Security Information card and is entered as follows:

1. Ensure that all doors are closed, then using the key turn the driver's door lock to the UNLOCK position (towards the front of the car) and hold in

this position for at least 5 seconds until the alarm sounder sounds once). Then return the key to the centre position. It is now possible to use the key to enter the separate numerical values of the four numbers that make up the emergency key access code.

2. Enter the FIRST number of

the code. If the first number is

4, turn the key (towards the

front of the car) to the UNLOCK

position 4 times. Ensure the

key is FULLY returned to the centre position after each turn.

Locks & Alarm

3. Enter the SECOND number of the code. If the second

number is 3, turn the key (towards the rear) to the LOCK position 3 times. Remember; the key must be FULLY

returned to the centre position after each turn.

4. Enter the THIRD number of the code. If the third number is

12, turn the key to the UNLOCK position twelve times, ensuring that the key is FULLY returned to the centre position

after each turn.

5. Enter the FOURTH number of the code. If the fourth

number is 1, turn the key to the LOCK position once. Ensure the key is FULLY returned to the centre position.

6. Finally, turn the key to the unlock position once more. If the code has been entered correctly, a double ‘bleep’ will sound (a single ‘bleep’ indicates that the code has

been entered incorrectly).

NOTE: If the Mislock audible warning has been deselected (by a Land Rover dealer), the alarm sounder will not sound when an EKA code has been entered. Instead, the alarm indicator light on the instrument panel will flash once (for one second) to indicate a successful code entry.

7. Through the driver's door window, observe the anti-theft alarm indicator light on the instrument panel. If code entry was successful, this light will continue flashing (once every two seconds) for the five minute delay period.

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE until the full delay period has elapsed - this will be indicated by the anti-theft alarm indicator light extinguishing.

8. Now open the door, insert the key into the starter and turn the switch to position ‘II’ IMMEDIATELY! If the starter switch is not turned to position ‘II’ within 30 seconds of the indicator light extinguishing, the engine will automatically immobilise again.

If an incorrect code has been entered:

If an incorrect code has been entered, the alarm sounder will sound once and the anti-theft alarm indicator light will continue to flash. In this case, return to operation ‘1’ and re-enter the code.

After three failed entry attempts, the security system invokes a delay period of ten minutes during which the system will not accept any further attempts to enter a code.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Memorise the emergency key access code or keep the Security card on your person in case of emergencies. NEVER leave the card in the vehicle.

There is now a five minute delay before the alarm and engine immobiliser are deactivated.

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE YET!

REMOTE HANDSET BATTERY

The battery should last for approximately three years dependent upon use. When the battery needs replacing it will be apparent from the following symptoms:

• A gradual deterioration in range and

performance.

• The alarm indicator light in the instrument

panel will flash rapidly for 10 seconds after the driver's door is opened.

Always fit a Land Rover STC 4080 or a Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery (available from a Land Rover dealer).

WARNING

The handset contains delicate electronic circuits and must be protected from impact and water damage, high temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight and the effects of solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.

Battery replacement

H2794

1. With the handset face down, insert the

blade of a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the rear of the handset (see inset) and prise the back upwards.

2. Insert the screwdriver blade as shown in

the right hand inset and then carefully slide it along the joint towards the key to release the back of the handset.

3. Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to

prise the battery from its mounting (see illustration), taking care to avoid touching the circuit board or the metal battery contacts.

4. Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct

polarity is maintained (‘+’ side facing up). Finger marks will adversely affect battery life; if possible, avoid touching the flat surfaces of the battery and wipe them clean before fitting.

5. Press the two halves of the handset firmly

together and ensure that both halves are fully joined to prevent dirt or moisture from entering the handset.

The handset is now ready for use.

Locks & Alarm

CHILD-PROOF LOCKS

H2464

Move the locking levers on the rear doors and taildoor down to engage the child locks.

With the child-proof locks engaged, neither the rear doors nor the taildoor can be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door being opened accidentally while the vehicle is moving.

WARNING

NEVER leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH

H2574

An inertia switch, operational only with the starter switch in position ‘II’ and the alarm disarmed, prevents the doors centrally locking (or if the doors are locked, will unlock them) in the event of an accident or sudden impact.

When the switch operates, the direction indicator lights flash (if market permits), until the system is reset by turning the starter switch on and off, and opening and closing the driver's door.

Note that doors cannot be locked again until the switch is reset.

The inertia switch also cuts off the fuel supply (see ‘FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH’, page 99).

WARNING

Always check for fuel leaks before resetting the switch!

HEAD RESTRAINTS

H2465

Pull the head restraint up or down until the cushion is level with the back of the head.

WARNING

Head restraints are designed to support the back of the head (NOT THE NECK), and to restrain rearward movement of the head in the event of a collision. The restraint must be positioned level with the head to be effective.

FOLDING ARMRESTS*

H2553

Some vehicles are fitted with adjustable front seat armrests, which can be either; stowed vertically in line with the seat backrest when not required, or folded horizontally to serve as an arm/elbow rest.

The height/angle of each armrest can be adjusted by turning the knob set into the end of the armrest: clockwise to raise and anti-clockwise to lower.

Head restraint removal

Turn both mounting collars fully anti-clockwise and pull the restraint upwards to remove.

After replacing a head restraint turn the mounting collars clockwise.

Seats

HEATED FRONT SEATS*

H2517

With the starter switch turned on and the engine running, press the switches to operate the heating elements in either the driver's or front passenger seat (the indicator light in the switch illuminates). Press a second time to switch off.

The seat heaters are thermostatically controlled and operate intermittently to achieve and then maintain a predetermined temperature between 26° - 36°C.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The seat heaters consume considerable power from the battery. For this reason, they should ONLY be operated while the engine is running.

FOLDING THE REAR SEATS

H2493

WARNING

DO NOT adjust any part of a seat while the vehicle is in motion.

One or both parts of the split rear seat can be either partially or fully folded to further increase the rear loadspace.

1. To release either part of the backrest, lift

the lever shown in the inset, and then fold the backrest onto the seat base.

2. Ensure the outer head restraints are fully

lowered, the armrest is stowed and the centre head restraint is removed.

3. To release the seat base, pull the release

strap upward (arrowed in illustration). With backrest and seat base released, the assembly can be folded forward as shown.

Seats

Returning the seat to the upright position

H2549

Push the seat assembly back onto the floor - the floor catches should latch with the base of the seat. Then raise the backrest.

If the backrest cannot be raised easily, DO NOT force it. This indicates that the seat base has not fully engaged with the floor catches (note that the seat assembly is designed to prevent the backrest from being raised unless the seat is properly secured to the floor).

With the seat base secure, the backrest can be raised and locked in position (none of the RED panel on the release lever should be visible when the backrest is correctly latched).

WARNING

After the seat is returned to the upright position, the latching mechanism should be checked and physically tested to ensure that both the seat base and backrest are secure before driving.

Preventing chafing

H3053

When the larger portion (or whole) of the seat is fully folded, some chafing may occur between the seat and the cubby box (note that this is most likely to occur when the front seats are adjusted fully forward). If chafing is apparent, risk of damage to the seat cover can be reduced by fitting the securing strap as shown.

The strap can be found in the tool bag in the tail door storage pocket.

1. Fold the backrest forward.

2. Fit one end of the strap to the press-stud

fastening on the underside of the seat base (it will be necessary to partially raise the seat base in order to visually locate the fastening).

3. Stretch the strap around the folded seat

assembly and secure the free end to the press-stud fastener on the rear of the backrest.

Compressing the folded seat assembly in this way should alleviate chafing and any subsequent damage to the seat cover when the seat is folded fully.

Seats

OCCASIONAL REAR SEATS

WARNING

Before driving with passengers seated in the occasional rear seats, for safety ensure that the floor latches are fully engaged.

Do not carry passengers in the occasional rear seats if a dog guard is fitted between the second row of seats and the loadspace.

Erecting the seats

H3045

H3047

3. Lower the seat to the loadspace floor,

PUSHING DOWN FIRMLY to ensure that the floor latch has fully engaged.

4. Pull the backrest into the upright position.

NOTE: The backrest cannot be raised unless the seat is securely latched to the floor.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember to unfold the head restraints from the roof before driving.

1. Push the lever (shown in inset) and hold to

release the seat from its stowed position.

H3046

2. Swing the seat away from the vehicle side,

at the same time lifting and turning it towards the horizontal.
