Introduction

SERVICE PORTFOLIO

The Service Portfoliobook includedin your literature pack containsimportant vehicle identification information anddetails of your entitlement under the terms ofthe LandRover warranty, as wellas usefulconsumer advice.

Most important of all, however,is thesection on maintenance. This outlines theservicing requirements for yourRange Roverand also incorporates the servicerecord slips, which the Dealer shouldsign andstamp tocertify that routine serviceshave been carried out at the recommended intervals.

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 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!

WARNING

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.

Introduction

ENGINE COMPARTMENT INFORMATIONLABELS

Various labels arefixed to your vehicle to draw yourattention tospecific safety information.The following are of particular importance:

A. AIR CONDITIONING B. KEEP CLEAR OF ROTATING PARTS C. VIN LABEL - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

NUMBER

D. BONNET OPENINGAND CLOSING

INSTRUCTIONS

On vehicles withan airbagSRS, rememberto take careful noteof warninginformation labels that may be attached to the sunvisor orother parts of the vehicle.

Introduction

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)

If you need to communicate with aLand Rover dealer, youmay beasked to quote the Vehicle Identification Number(VIN).

The VIN (and recommended maximumvehicle weights) is stampedon alabel fixedto the top panel above the left handheadlight (viewed from the driver’sseat). Thisshould also match the VIN recorded inthe Service Portfolio book.

In addition, as a deterrentto carthieves and to assist the police,the VINis alsostamped on a plate which is visible throughthe leftside of the windscreen.

A. Vehicle IdentificationNumber (VIN) B. Gross vehicleweight (whererequired) C. Gross train weight (whererequired) D. Maximum frontaxle load (whererequired) E. Maximum rear axleload (whererequired)

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

While it may be difficultto deterthe ’professional’car thief,the majority of thefts are carried outby unskilledopportunists. Therefore, take vehiclesecurity very seriously and ALWAYS adopt this simple’four point’ drill whenever youleave your vehicle - even for just a few minutes:

1. Fully close allthe windows(and the

sunroof).

2. Remove your valuablebelongings (or hide

them out of sight).

3. Remove the starterkey.

4. Superlock the vehicleusing theremote

handset.

Thieves are attractedby ’vulnerable’vehicles. Even if you have followedthe ’fourpoint’ drill, there is stillmuch youcan doto makeyour vehicle a lessinviting target.

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY!

• Park where your vehicle canbe easily seen

by householders and passers-by.

• At night, park in well lit areasand avoid

deserted or dimly-litside streets.

• At home, if you have a garage,use it- and

NEVER leave the keys inthe vehicle.

• Do not keep important documents(or

spare keys) inthe vehicle- these are a real bonus for the thief.

Introduction

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown

safety code

If a breakdown occurs whiletravelling:-

• Wherever possible, consistentwith

road safety and traffic conditions, the vehicle shouldbe movedoff the main thoroughfare, preferablyinto a lay-by. If a breakdown occurson a motorway, pull wellover tothe inside of the hard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position a warning

triangle or a flashing amberlight at an appropriate distancefrom the vehicle to warn other trafficof the breakdown. (Note the legal requirements of somecountries).

• Consider evacuating passengers

through nearside doorsonto the verge as a precaution shouldyour Range Rover be struck byanother vehicle.

Locks & alarm

Your vehicle isfitted witha sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarmand engine immobilisation system. Inorder toensure maximum security, youare advisedto gain a full understanding of the systemby thoroughly reading thissection ofthe handbook.

LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE

ALARM

You have been supplied withtwo handset/keys (numbered 1and 2).While both are identical inoperation, theytransmit two different sets of information (see’Lazy seats’). Replacement handsets areonly available from a Land Rover dealer. Upto twofurther handsets (3 and 4) can also beobtained.

There are four methods forsecuring your vehicle:

1. ’Superlocking’using thehandset (recommended high securitymethod).

2. ’Superlocking’using thekey.

3. Locking using the handset.

4. Locking using the key.

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY, ALWAYS

’SUPERLOCK’ THE VEHICLE USING THE

HANDSET

(except when the vehicle isto belocked with passengers or animalsinside).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Emergency keys

In addition to the two handsets, you have also been suppliedwith twoseparate keys. These keysperform thesame functions as the key partof thehandset and are intended for emergencyuse only. DO NOT keep the keysinside the vehicle.

The handset

The radio remote handset hasthree buttons. By pressing the appropriate button,the handset can be used eitheras aconventional key, or as a remotehandset toeither lock or ’superlock’the vehicle.

Locks & alarm

1. Press to releasethe key,which can then be used as a conventionalkey tooperate the starter switch,glovebox anddoor locks.

2. Lock button (padlock symbol)

• press once to lock.

• press twice to ’superlock’.

• press and hold to ’lazylock’ (see’Lazy

locking’ ).

3. Unlock button

• press once to unlock.

• press and hold to operatethe ’lazyseat’

facility (see ’Lazyseats’).

Once the securitysystem isarmed, the central locking system locksall the doors and the tailgate, the perimetricalarm (protecting the doors, bonnet and tailgate) isarmed, andthe engine is immobilised.

• If ’handset superlocking’is activated,the

volumetric alarm isalso armed (a sensor inside the passengercompartment monitors the interiorspace andactivates the alarm if an intrusioninto the passenger compartment isdetected).

The volumetric sensorwill entera self-check mode each time you turn the starterswitch off. It will remain activefor 60seconds, or until:

1. The driver’s dooris openedand closed.

2. The vehicle islocked withthe handsetor

key.

NOTE: Ifthe sensorfails its self-checkfive

times consecutively, onlythe ’perimetric’ elements of the security systemwill be active (doors, bonnet and tailgate). Anyattempt to ’superlock’with thehandset willresult in ’ALARM FAULT’ being displayed onthe message centre anda mislockoccurring (see ’Mislock’).Seek qualifiedassistanceto rectify the fault.

Switching off the alarm sounder

If the alarm is triggered,it canbe turnedoff in three ways:

• Press the lock button once.

• Press the unlock button once.

• Turn the key in the driver’s doorto the

’unlock’ position (towardsthe frontof the vehicle).

Locks & alarm

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

After locking the vehicle, theRED indicator light (arrowed in illustration) flashes rapidly for ten seconds to confirm that thesecurity system has been successfully armed. After ten seconds, the indicatorlight adjuststo a slower frequency, and then continues toflash asan anti-theft deterrent untilsuch timeas the security system isdisarmed.

If, while operating the handset(or key),the alarm sounds, this indicates thatone of the doors, the bonnet or the tailgate isnot properly closed (themessage centre display will confirm whichaperture isnot secure).

Although the handset can be successfully operated from a significant distancefrom the vehicle, when lockingit iswise to be close enough to visually confirm thatthe door locking buttons have dropped intoplace and that the indicator light confirmsa successful lock.

NOTE: Occasionalatmosphericconditions

can significantly reducethe effective rangeof handset operation. If this occurs,operate the handset closer to the vehicle.In extreme cases, it may be necessaryto touch the handset against the radio aerial’fired’ onto one of the rear sidewindows.

SUPERLOCKING

If the vehicle is ’superlocked’(with either the handset, or the key), thedoors CANNOTbe unlocked or opened from insidethe vehicle.

For this reason DO NOTsuperlock the vehicle with passengers inside.

’Superlocking’ using the handset:

Press and releasethe ’lock’button (1) on the handset twice (within1 seconds you will hear ’superlocking’engage.

If any door, the bonnet or tailgateis leftopen, a mislock willoccur (see’Mislock’).

If a window or sunroof is open, superlocking will engage immediately,however volumetric protection will not be activated.

To unlock:

Press and releasethe ’unlock’button (2) on the handset once.

If the handset is inoperative,the vehiclecan be unlocked by using the emergency key access code (see’Emergency key access’).

/2seconds). After 15

Locks & alarm

’Superlocking’ using the key:

Wherever possible thehandset MUST be used to ’superlock’ thevehicle. However, if the handset is inoperative,the keycan be used as follows:

Turn the key in the driver’s doortowards the rear of the vehicle (andrelease) twice within

/2seconds.

NOTE: ’Superlocking’the vehicle usingthe

key will provideperimetric protection only volumetric protection (protectionof the interior space insidethe vehicle)WILL NOT BE ACTIVE! If any door, the bonnet, or the tailgate is leftopen, amislock will occur (see ’Mislock’).

To unlock:

Wherever possible usethe handsetto unlock the vehicle - press andrelease the ’unlock’ button.

If necessary, thekey canbe usedto unlock a ’superlocked’vehicle, but before the engine can be started, it willbe necessaryto release the engine immobilisationfunction byentering the emergency keyaccess code (see ’Emergency key access’).

WARNING

NEVER ’superlock’ the vehicle if passengers are to be left inside - ’superlocking’ prevents door locks from being operated from INSIDE as well as outside the vehicle!

NOTE: Ifthe handset’lock’ button or the door

key are operatedonce, thecentral locking will be activated, but the alarmwill onlybe in ’perimetric’mode andthe doorsand locks CAN be opened from the inside. ALWAYS, where possible securethe vehicleby ’superlocking’.

’Sill’ locking

To operate the central lockingfrom insidethe vehicle, push down either frontdoor sill button.

The security system will NOT be armed.

NOTE: ’Sill’locking (also knownas slam

locking) is NOTpossible fromoutside the vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If unattended passengersare tobe leftin the vehicle, DONOT superlock. Unattended passengers shouldlock the vehicle from insideby pressingdown the driver’s door sillbutton.

If animals are to be left inthe vehicle, volumetric protection MUSTNOT be activated - anymovement insidethe vehicle could triggerthe alarm.

DO NOT leavechildren unattendedin the vehicle!

Locks & alarm

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION

Engine immobilisation isan importantaspect of the Range Rover’s securitysystem, and includes a featureknown as’passive immobilisation’.This isdesigned to safeguard the vehicle from theft shouldthe driverforget to lock the doors. The engine isautomatically immobilised whenever anyof thefollowing conditions occur.

1. When the vehicleis lockedusing the handset or key.

2. Thirty seconds afterthe starterswitch has been turned off AND the driver’s door opened.

3. Ten minutes after the starterswitch has been turned off (even ifthe keyremains in the starter switchand thedriver’s door has not opened).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

It is virtuallyimpossible to leave the car unattended or attended without the engine being immobilisedautomatically. For this reason it isimportant thatall drivers are fullyaware of the following:

The engine is re-mobilised bypressing the ’unlock’ button on the handset or inserting the keyin thestarter switch.

If the handset is lost or damagedand fails to operate, the engine mustbe re-mobilisedby enteringthe emergency key access codebefore thevehicle can be driven (see ’Emergencykey access’).

Locks & alarm

EMERGENCY KEY ACCESS

If the handset is lost or failsto operate,the engine can be re-mobilised byusing the key to enter a unique four digitemergency key access code. Thecode isrecorded on the Security Information cardand isentered as follows:

1. Using the key, turn the driver’s door lockto theLOCK position 4 times and return the key to the centre position

(as shown) after each turnof the key. It is now possible touse thekey to enter the separatenumerical values of the four digits that make up the emergency keyaccess code.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

When entering a code:

• ENSURE each keymovement is

carried out with care andprecision and turned through the full extent of its travel.

• After turning the key to either the

lock or unlock positions, makesure it is FULLY returned tothe centre (vertical)position.

• If you forget your placein the

sequence of key operations and, therefore, do not complete acode, open and then shut the door and start entering the code again(this will not count as a failed attempt).

2. Enter the FIRST digit of the code. If the first digit is4,

turn the key to the UNLOCK position 4 times. Ensure the key is FULLY returned tothe

centre position aftereach turnof thekey.

3. Enter the SECOND digit of the code. If the second digit is

3, turn the key to the LOCK position 3 times. Remember;

the key must be FULLY returned to the centre positionafter eachturn of the key.

4. Enter the THIRD digit of

the code. If the third digit is

2, turn the key to the UNLOCK

position twice, ensuringthat

the key is FULLY returnedto the centre position after eachturn ofthe key.

5. Enter the FOURTH digit of

the code. If the fourth digit is

1, turn the key to the LOCK

position once. Ensure the key

is FULLY returned to the centre position afterthe keyhas been turned.

6. FINALLY, turn the key to

the UNLOCK position once

more to disarm the alarmand

re-mobilisethe engine.If the

code has been entered successfully,the anti-theftalarm indicator light will extinguish,the doorswill unlock and the engine can be started.

Locks & alarm

NOTE: Duringthe accessprocedure,the

anti-theft indicator lightwill continueto flash (indicating that thealarm isstill partially armed).

NOTE: Ifthe handsetis inoperable, the

emergency key accesscode must be entered EVERY time you need to start theengine.

If an incorrect code has been entered:

If the code has been entered incorrectly,the anti-theft alarm indicatorlight will continue to flash. In this case, returnto ’1’and re-enter the code.

After three failedentry attempts,the security system invokes adelay periodof thirty minutes during which the systemwill not accept any furtherattempts toenter acode.

WARNING

• NEVER leave the Security Information

card in the vehicle.

• Memorise the emergency key access

code or keep the Security Information card on your person in case of emergencies (a damaged handset for example).

Locks & alarm

MISLOCK

A mislock will occur if:

• A door, bonnet or tailgate are leftopen.

• The key is left in the starterswitch.

• An incomplete ’lazylock’ isattempted. The

message centre willindicate the cause of a mislock e.g. ’SUNROOFBLOCKED’.

If a mislock occurs, awarning ’bleep’will sound in which case you should unlockthe vehicle, rectify thecause of the mislock and then re-lock the vehicle.

LAZY LOCKING

’Lazy locking’ enablesyou touse the handset or key to close the windows andsunroof at the same time as yousecure thevehicle.

To operate lazy locking:

1. Ensure the doors, bonnet and tailgate are properly closed.

2. With the handset - pressand holdthe ’lock’ button (presstwice andhold onthe second press if ’superlocking’). With the key - turn and holdthe keyin the ’lock’ position.

The doors and tailgate willlock andthe windows, followed by the sunroofwill close.

NOTE: Ifa windowor thesunroof detectsan

obstruction, a mislockoccurs andthe locking sequence will stop.Remove theobstruction before trying to ’lazy lock’again.

LAZY SEATS

The lazy seat facility isavailableonly on vehicles fitted witha driver’sseat memory. The facility enablesthe handsetsto be used to recall the pre-setelectric seat/mirror positions when you UNLOCK the door. The two handsets are separatelyidentified by different labels and by grey andblack batterycovers key 1 correspondsto driver’sseat memory 1, and key 2 to seat memory 2(see ’Seats’).

NOTE: Ifadditional handset/keyshavebeen

obtained (key 3 and key4), theyare not linked to the memory seat system.

Press and hold the ’unlock’button onthe handset for 1 on the handset flashes rapidly),and then release. The driver’sseat and both mirrors will move to the positions programmedinto the relevant seat memory.

NOTE: ’Lazyseats’ will only operate if

volumetric protection wasactivated when the vehicle was locked(ie. by ’superlocking’using the handset). It will not function if the alarmsystem has already been triggeredsince it was last set, and will be cancelled ifa dooris opened, or if the vehicle isrelocked.

Locks & alarm

AUTO RELOCK

Auto relock ensuresthat, ifthe vehicleis unlocked accidentally, thevehicle will relock itself automatically aftera 60 second delay.

Once the ’unlock’button onthe handsethas been pressed, the alarm systemwill monitor the vehicle for 60 seconds.If anyof the following occur duringthis period,the vehicle will remain unlocked:

• A door or the tailgate is opened.

• Interior movement isdetected.

• The key is inserted intothe starterswitch,

or the switch is turnedto position’I’.

However, if none of the above hasoccurred within 60 seconds, then the vehicle will automaticallyreturn toits previous’locked’ state.

CHILD-PROOF LOCKS (reardoors only) Move the lever downwards (arrowedin illustration)to engage.

With the child-proof locks engaged,the rear doors cannot be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby avoidingthe risk of a door being opened accidentallywhile the vehicle is moving.

Opening the doors

When opening a door from outside the vehicle, it isrecommended thatthe moving part of the handle is held bythe fingersand that the door catch is operated bypushing with the thumb against the fixed partof the handle.
