Entering the vehicle

Any person fitted with an implanted medical device should make sure that the device is kept at a distance of at least 22 cm (8.7 inches) away from any transmitter mounted in the vehicle. This is to avoid any possibility of interference between the system and the device.

Interference may cause the implanted medical device to malfunction, causing serious injury or death. For more information on the locations of the security system transmitters, see 265, REMOTE KEY FOB TRANSMITTER LOCATIONS.

To prevent accidental or unauthorised operation, never leave the Smart key unattended in the vehicle. Never leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. The vehicle can be operated when the Smart key is inside the vehicle.

Note: The operational range of the Smart key will vary considerably depending on atmospheric conditions and interference from other transmitting devices.

Note: If any door or the tailgate is locked or unlocked 10 times within a short period, the latch is disabled for approximately 1 minute.

The vehicle is supplied with 2 Smart keys. The Smart keys act as remote controls for the locking and alarm system and allow the vehicle to be locked, unlocked and driven without the use of a conventional key. See 8, KEYLESS

ENTRY, 14, KEYLESS LOCKING and 97, STARTING THE ENGINE. Each Smart key also

has an emergency key housed in a slide out compartment.

Lock:

• Press to secure the vehicle. The vehicle can be Single or Double locked. See

13, SINGLE LOCKING and 13, DOUBLE LOCKING.

Also see, 14, GLOBAL CLOSING.

Unlock:

• Press briefly to unlock the vehicle and deactivate the alarm. The hazard warning lamps will flash twice to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked and the alarm has been deactivated. The exterior lamps, interior lamps and approach lamps will illuminate to assist entry to the vehicle. Also see 8,

GLOBAL OPENING.

Tailgate release/stop/reverse direction/close:

• Press briefly to open/close the tailgate. If the vehicle is locked and armed, the perimeter alarm will remain active while the tailgate is open, but intrusion and inclination sensing systems will be disabled for the duration that the tailgate is open.

When closing the tailgate, if the vehicle is already locked and armed, the hazard warning lamps will flash after a few seconds to confirm the full alarm system has been reactivated. There will also be an audible sound if the vehicle was double locked. See 9, OPENING AND CLOSING THE TAILGATE.

Note: Make sure that the Smart key does not remain in the vehicle before closing. If the vehicle is in an area of localised Radio Frequency (RF) interference or the Smart key is shielded by metal objects, the vehicle may close and lock with no means of opening again.

Panic alarm:

• Press and hold for 3 seconds (or press 3 times within 3 seconds) to activate the horn and the hazard lamps.

• Once active for more than 5 seconds, the alarm can be cancelled by pressing the button and holding for 3 seconds (or pressing 3 times within 3 seconds).

• The emergency alarm will also be cancelled if a valid Smart key is present when the START/STOP button is pressed.

Approach illumination:

• When approaching the vehicle during darkness, press to switch on the approach illumination. Press again to turn the approach lamps off.

Note: In some markets a second press of the button will turn on the headlamps and reversing lamps. A third press will be required to turn the lamps off.

• The approach illumination period set at the factory is 30 seconds. This delay period may be configured to provide illumination lasting between 0 and 240 seconds. See 46, INSTRUMENT PANEL

MENU.

Note: When the driver's door is unlocked using the key blade, the alarm will sound until the Smart key is positioned correctly.

Note: A replacement Smart key can be obtained only from a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer. The Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer will require proof of identification and ownership.

Notify a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately if a Smart key is lost or stolen.

Keyless entry/exit:

• Exterior door handles have separate unlock and lock sensors. The unlock sensor is located on the inner surface of the handle.

SINGLE/MULTI-POINT ENTRY

When you press the unlock button, your vehicle will unlock in 1 of 2 ways:

Single Point Entry: Unlocks the driver's door and fuel filler only. A second press is required to unlock the remaining doors and the tailgate.

Multi-Point Entry: Unlocks all doors, fuel filler flap and the tailgate on the first press.

To change from Single to Multi-Point entry (or vice versa), press both the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The hazard warning lamps will flash twice to confirm the change.

This feature may also be set via the Vehicle

Set-Up menu. See 46, INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION

Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving.

The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags, all contribute to the protection of the user. Correct use of these components will give you greater protection. Therefore, you should always observe the following points:

Sit in an upright position, with the base of your spine as far back as possible. To achieve optimum benefit of the seat belt in the event of an accident, do not recline the seat excessively.

Do not move the driver's seat too close to the steering wheel. Ideally, a minimum distance of 254 mm (10 inches) is recommended between the breastbone and the steering wheel airbag cover. Hold the steering wheel in the correct position, with your arms slightly bent.

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is the same height as the top of the head.

Position the seat belt so that it is mid-way between your neck and your shoulder. Fit the strap tightly across your hips, not across your stomach.

Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and enables you to maintain full control of the vehicle

The driver and front seat passenger must not ride with the seat fully reclined.

Steering wheel

ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL

Never adjust the steering column while the vehicle is in motion.

Manual adjustment: Move the locking lever

(located under the column) downwards to unlock. Move the steering column up, down, in or out, to the desired position. Move the lever fully up to re-lock the column.

Electric adjustment: Move the control up

or down to adjust the tilt/height. Move the control forwards or rearwards to adjust reach.

ENTRY AND EXIT MODE

With the steering column control (2) in the AUTO position, the steering column and driver’s

seat will move to provide easier entry and exit from the vehicle.

On opening the driver’s door, the system will raise the steering column to the highest position and lower the driver’s seat to a lower position, assisting with exit from the vehicle. When the driver’s door is closed and the ignition turned on, the system will return the driver’s seat and steering column to the previous position.

Note: If the driver’s seat or steering column are adjusted during entry or exit operation, automatic movement will stop.

To prevent automatic movement of the driver’s seat and steering column, turn the control clockwise to the manual position.

Note: If the steering column switch is moved away from AUTO when the driver’s seat and steering column is in the exit position, the driver’s seat and steering column will move back to their previous positions when the driver’s door is closed and the ignition is switched on.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL

Press the button to turn the heating steering wheel feature on and off. An amber indicator will illuminate when the heated steering wheel feature is on.

POWER STEERING

A fault with the power steering system is indicated by a message in the Message centre, accompanied by an amber warning lamp (see

49, GENERAL WARNING/INFORMATION MESSAGE (AMBER)). A reduction in power

steering assistance may be experienced. The fault may be caused by overheating due to extensive steering inputs or high ambient temperatures.

Full steering assistance should return when the system has been allowed to cool. If full steering assistance does not return, consult a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Seat belts

USING THE SEAT BELTS

Seat belt height adjustment: Press to

release the catch. With the catch depressed move the mechanism slide up or down to the required height. Make sure the locking mechanism has engaged. When correctly positioned the seat belt should cross the collar bone at the mid-point between the neck and end of your shoulder. Where possible, rear seat passengers should adjust their position on the seat, to enable the seat belt webbing to cross the shoulder without pressing on the neck.

Make sure the height is correctly adjusted and the mechanism is locked in place before driving.

The use of comfort clips or devices that would create slack in the seat belt system is not advised.

WARNING: No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

Putting on a seat belt: Draw the belt out

smoothly, make sure the belt height, the seat and the occupant's position on the seat, are correct.

WARNING: Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.

Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap.

The occupants of the front seats should not travel with the seat back reclined excessively. Doing so will reduce the protection afforded by the seat belt.

Seat belts

Never place anything between you and the seat belt in an attempt to cushion the impact in the event of an accident. It can be dangerous, and will reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing injury.

Fastening a seat belt: With the seat belt

correctly positioned, place the metal tongue into the buckle nearest to you. Press it in until a click is heard. To release the seat belt, press the red button.

Note: When releasing the seat belt it is advisable to hold the belt before pressing the release button. This will prevent the belt from retracting too quickly.

Seat belt use during pregnancy: Position

the lap strap comfortably across the hips beneath the abdomen. Place the diagonal part of the seat belt between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen, as illustrated. Make sure the seat belt is not slack or twisted.

Position the seat belt correctly for the safety of the mother and the unborn child. Never wear just the lap strap and never sit on the lap strap while using just the shoulder strap. Both of these actions are extremely dangerous and may increase the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident or during emergency braking.

SEAT BELT SAFETY

Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.

The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

If any damage, wear, cuts, defects, or impaired operation are noted with the seat belts, the vehicle should be taken to a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for immediate attention. Do not use the vehicle if the seat belts cannot be operated correctly.

Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp items between your person and the seat belt.

Seat belts should be worn by all vehicle occupants, for every journey no matter how short.

Never wear just the lap belt or just the shoulder belt of a lap/shoulder diagonal seat belt. Both of these actions are extremely dangerous and may increase your risk of injury.

When using seat belts to restrain items other than occupants, take care to make sure the belts are not damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.

SEAT BELT CHECKS

Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a fault and the belt should be gently eased out from the upper anchorage.
