Introduction

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

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance and hencea higher centre of gravity than ordinary passenger cars to enable the vehicle to perform in a wide variety of off-road applications. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the roadallowing you to anticipate problems. The Range Rover is not designed for cornering at the same speed as conventional passenger cars any more than a lowslung sports car is designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the Range Rover correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.

Introduction

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

While it may be difficultto deterthe ’professional’car thief,the majorityof thefts are carried outby unskilledopportunists. Therefore, take vehiclesecurity very seriously and ALWAYS adopt this simple’four point’ drill whenever youleave yourvehicle - 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown

safety code

If abreakdown occurs whiletravelling:-

• Wherever possible, consistentwith

safety and trafficconditions, the vehicle should bemoved offthe main thoroughfare, preferablyonto the shoulder as far aspossible. Ifa breakdown occurs on a freeway,pull well over to the insideof thehard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible,position the warning

triangle (located onthe undersideof the loadspace floorpanel -see ’Warning triangle’) ora flashing amber light at an appropriate distance from the vehicle towarn other traffic of the breakdown(note the legal requirementsof some areas).

• Consider evacuating passengersto a

safe area awayfrom thevehicle as a precaution in caseyour RangeRover is struck by another vehicle.

Security Card

The security card,supplied withthe literature pack, contains importantemergency information. It is ESSENTIAL that you keep the card safe from theftand ensurethat itis passed to the new owner if yousell the vehicle.

• Key number: This is the number of the

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

• VIN (vehicle identification number): This

identity number is unique toyour vehicle and is essentialproof ofits specification. The number can also befound invarious locations around the vehicle (see’Vehicle Identification’ in Section1).

• Radio security code number: Thisunique

code must be entered intothe radio whenever the power supply hasbeen disconnected. Without thiscode, theradio unit will not operate (see’Security code’ in the ’In-Car Entertainment’book).

WARNING

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

Page 15

Locks & alarm

Your vehicle isfitted witha sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarmsystem. In order to ensure maximum security,you areadvised to gain a full understanding ofthe systemby thoroughly reading thissection ofthe handbook.

LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE

ALARM

You havebeen supplied withtwo handset/keys (numbered 1and 2).While both are identical inoperation, theytransmit two different sets of information (see’Key activated memory seats’).Replacement handsets are onlyavailable from a Land Rover dealer. Up to two furtherhandsets (3and 4) can also be obtained.

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).

The handset

The radio remote handset hasthree buttons (described below). Bypressing the appropriate button, the handset canbe used either as a conventional key,or as a remote handset to either lock or’superlock’ the vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Emergency keys

In additionto 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 thevehicle.

1. Key release button.

• Press to releasethe key,which can then

be used as a conventionalkey tooperate the starter switch,glovebox anddoor locks.

Page 16

Locks & alarm

2. Lock button (padlock symbol)

• press once to lock.

• press twice to ’superlock’.

3. Unlock button

• press once to unlock.

• press and hold to operatethe ’Key

activated memory seats’facility (see ’Key activated memory seats’).

Once the securitysystem isarmed, the following features areactivated:

• The central lockingsystem locksall the

doors and the tailgate.

• The perimetric alarm(protecting the

doors, hood and tailgate) isarmed.

• If ’handsetsuperlocking’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. Itwill 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, hood 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.

NOTE: Thehandset complieswith part 15 of

the FCC Rules. Operation issubject to the following two conditions:

1. This device maynot causeharmful interference.

2. This device must accept anyinterference received, including interferencethat may cause undesired operation.This appliesto both alarmreceiversand handset transmitter.

CAUTION: Any changes or modificationsto

the transmitter not expressly approvedby the manufacturer could voidthe user’sauthority to operatethe equipment.

Page 17

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 aslower frequency, and then continues toflash asan anti-theft deterrent untilsuch timeas the security system isdisarmed.

If, whileoperating the handset(or key),the alarm sounds, this indicates thatone of the doors, the hood or the tailgate isnot properly closed (the messagecentre displaywill confirm which apertureis notsecure).

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 effectiverangeof handset operation. If this occurs,operate the handset closer to the vehicle.In themost extreme cases, itmay benecessary to touch the handset against the radioaerial ’fired’ onto one of the rear sidewindows.

If themessage centre displays’KEY BATTERY LOW’, this indicatesthat thehandset batteries need replacing (see’Handset batteries’).

SUPERLOCKING

If thevehicle 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 anydoor, the hood or tailgate is leftopen, a mislock will occur(see ’Mislock’).

If awindow 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 thehandset is inoperative,the vehiclecan be unlocked by using the key inthe driver’s door lock.

/2seconds). After 15

’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 hood, or the tailgate is leftopen, amislock willoccur (see ’Mislock’).

To unlock:

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

If necessary,thekey canalso be used to unlock a ’superlocked’vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If unattendedpassengersare tobe leftin the vehicle, it is recommendedthat they should lock the vehicle frominside by pressing down the driver’s doorsill button.

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

DO NOT leavechildren unattendedin the vehicle!

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

Seat belts

SEAT BELT SAFETY

WARNING

Seat belts are life saving equipment. In a collision, occupants not wearing a seat belt will be thrown around inside, or possibly thrown out of the vehicle. This is likely to result in more serious injuries than would have been the case had a seat belt been worn. It may even result in loss of life! Don’t take chances with safety!

• DO make sure ALL occupants are

securely strapped in at all times - even for the shortest journeys.

• The airbagsupplementary restraint

system (SRS) is designed to add to the overall effectiveness of the seat belts, it DOES NOT replace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYS BE WORN.

• Ensure that all seat belts are worn

correctly - an improperly worn seat belt increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

• DO use the seat belts to secure items of

luggage thatare to be carriedon the seats - in the event of an accident, loose items become flying missiles capable of causing serious injury, or even death.

Page 40

Seat belts

WEARING SEAT BELTS CORRECTLY

Fastening the inertia reel belts

Draw the belt over theshoulder andacross the chest, and then insertthe metaltongue plate into the lock nearestthe wearer- a ’CLICK’ indicates thatthe beltis securely locked.

In somecircumstances,perhaps dueto the vehicle being parkedon aslope, theinertia mechanism may engage,preventing theinitial extension of a belt. Thisis nota fault- ease the belt free and useit.

Adjust the seat belt to eliminate anyslack in the webbing. DO NOT slackenthe webbingby holding the belt away fromthe body- tobe fully effective, theseat beltmust remain in full contact with the body at all times.Also, ensure that the lap beltfits aslow onthe hips as possible and that theshoulder beltpasses across the shoulderwithout slippingoff or pressing on the neck (seealso ’Seating positions’ in the ’Airbag SRS’section of this handbook).

Upper anchorage adjustment

The height of the seat belt upperanchorage can be adjusted for comfortAND safety.Press and hold the button (arrowed in upper illustration)to raiseor lowerthe anchorage. For safety, the seat beltshould alwaysbe worn with the webbing crossingthe shoulder midway between the neck andthe edgeof the shoulder.

Ensure that the anchorage iscorrectly located in one of the height positions beforedriving.

For children and young adultswhere theseat belt cannot be properly positioned,the useof a booster seat appropriate tothe ageof the child is recommended.

Page 41

Seat belts

Lap belts

The rear centralseating positionis fitted with a lap belt. To adjust, pull theslider (arrowedin illustration)along thebelt andfeed the webbing through the buckle untilthe beltis comfortably tight. Insertthe metaltongue plate into the lock nearestthe centreof the seat, and fit as low as possibleon thehips (never on the abdomen).

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body (pelvis, chest and shoulders), and can only be worn safely with the seatsin a normal, upright, position.

• ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on the

hips as possible (never across the abdomen) and ensure that the diagonal belt passesacross the shoulder without slipping off or pressing on the neck.

• ALWAYS ensure that any adjustable seat

back is never reclined more than 15 degrees from the upright position, when the vehicleis in motion. Seat belts are only effective when they are properly positioned on the body - a reclined seat could allow a passenger to slip under either the shoulder or the lap belt.

Page 42

Seat belts

WARNING

• DO NOT fit more than one person into a

belt; this could result in the occupants striking each other and causing injury in the eventof a crash.

• DO NOT use, or attempt to fit, a seat belt

that istwisted or obstructed in any way that couldimpede its smooth operation. If abelt istwisted, it must be straightened before use. Using a twisted or obstructed seat belt could increase the riskof injury in a crash.

• ALWAYS use the seat belt lock (buckle)

nearest the wearer. If the belt is locked in thewrong place, the seat belt will not fit correctly and may ride up over the abdomen, causing serious internal injury in acrash.

• DO NOT wear the shoulder belt under

your arm. In an accident this could increase your chances of being injured.

Wearing seat belts during

pregnancy

The seat belts have beendesigned forall adults, including pregnantwomen. Ina crash situation any occupantis lesslikely to be injured while correctlyrestrained by a seat belt. However, pregnantwomen shouldwear the lap belt as low on the hips aspossible to avoid pressure onthe abdomen.

Women should consult their doctorto establish the bestuse ofseat beltsduring pregnancy.

Seat belts

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS

The seat belt pre-tensioners activatein conjunction with the airbag SRSand provide additional protection inthe eventof asevere frontal impact on the vehicle(see ’Airbag SRS’). The pre-tensionersautomatically retract the seatbelts fittedto thefront seats. This reduces anyslack inboth thelap and diagonal portions of the belts,thereby reducing forward movementof thebelt wearer in the event of a severe frontalcollision.

The airbag SRS warning lighton the instrument panel willalert youto any malfunction of the seat beltpre-tensioners.

If thepre-tensionershave beenactivated, the seat belts willstill functionas restraints, and must be worn in the event that the vehicle remains in a driveable condition.

NOTE: Theseat beltpre-tensionerswill NOT

be activated by rear, sideor minorfrontal impacts.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The seat belt pre-tensioners willonly be activated once andthen MUSTBE REPLACED. Failure toreplace the pre-tensionerswill reducethe effectivenessof thevehicle’s restraint systems.

After any frontal impact, theseat belts and pre-tensioners mustbe checkedand, if necessary, replaced.Also, after a period of 15years, the pre-tensionersmust be examined and replaced.

In theinterests of safety,it is recommended that removalor replacement of the front seats,seat belts and pre-tensioners shouldonly becarried out bya Land Rover dealer.

Disposing of vehicles

If yousell your vehicle,be sureto inform the new owner that the vehicle isfitted with pre-tensioners, andmake thenew owner aware that the pre-tensionersmust be examined and replaced byqualified personnel after aperiod of15 years.

If yourvehicle is tobe scrapped, unactivated pre-tensioners are potentially very dangerous andmust besafely deployed in a controlled environmentby qualified personnel, beforea vehicleis scrapped.

CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR SMALL CHILDREN

AND BABIES

Children are morelikely toreceive injuries from inflating airbagsthan talleroccupants (see ’Airbag SRS’).For thisreason, it is strongly recommended thatinfants and children too smallfor adultseat beltsshould be restrained inthe rearof thevehicle in a child safety seator restraintsystem appropriate to theirage and/orsize, and which is approved for use inyour vehicle.

All infant and child restraintsystems are designed to be secured invehicle seats by means of a lap belt or thelap portionof a lap/shoulder belt. Alwaysensure that the manufacturer’sfitting instructionsare followed exactly.

A rangeof safety seats,approved foruse in your vehicle, isavailable from your Land Rover dealer.

NOTE: Somechild seatmanufacturers

recommend the installationof atop tether strap that is mounted to the vehiclebody. Some may also provide ’generic’hardware to install the tetherto thevehicle body. INSTALLATION OF THIS HARDWARE WILL DAMAGE THE HEADLINER OF THEVEHICLE. Such damage will not be covered under warranty. For costand installationof Land Rover approved mounts,please contactyour Land Rover Centre or retailer.

WARNING

• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A

REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT BE INSTALLED IN ANY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT POSITION.

• Accident statistics show that children are

safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front.

• Children could be endangered in a crash

if theirchild restraints are not properly secured.

• DO NOT allow a baby or infant to be

carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight by as much as 30 times, making it impossible to holdon tothe child.

• Young adultsand children typically

require the use of a booster seat appropriate to their age and size, thereby enabling the seat belts to be properly fitted, reducing the risk of injury in acrash.

• DO NOT use a child seat that hooks over

the seatback. This type of seat cannot be satisfactorilysecured, and is unlikely to besafe for your child.

• Never leave a child unattended in your

vehicle.

Page 45

Seat belts

Seat belt locking mechanism

The seat belts fitted tothe frontpassenger seat and two outer rearseats, havea special locking mechanism, whichaids thesecuring of childrestraintsystems. Themechanism is used to secure a childrestraint as follows:

1. Attach the seat belt to the childrestraint in accordance with themanufacturer’s instructions.

2. Insert the metal tongue of the seatbelt into the lock ensuring thatit engageswith a ’click’.

3. Pull on the shoulder sectionof thebelt until it is fully extended.

4. Allow the belt to retract.A ’clicking’sound will confirm that the mechanismhas engaged.

5. Remove all slackfrom themechanism, by pulling upwards on the shoulderbelt, immediately above thechild restraint.

6. Ensure that the child restraintis held securely in place;if not,unlatch the belt and repeat steps 1 to 6.

The centre rearseating positionis fitted with a lap belt which can bemanually tightenedto secure the infant or childrestraint system. Older children shoulduse thelap/shoulder belt fitted to the outer seating positions.

CARE & MAINTENANCE OF SEAT BELTS

WARNING

• DO NOT allow foreign matter

(particularly sugary food and drink particles) to enter the seat belt locks such substances can render the locks inoperative.

• Regularly inspect the belt webbing for

signs of fraying, cuts and wear, also paying particular attention to the condition of the fixing points and adjusters.

• DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing.

Clean the webbing usingwarm water and non-detergentsoap only - allow to dry naturally and DO NOT retract or use the beltsuntil they are completely dry.

• Always replace a seat belt that has

withstood the strain of an impact or shows signs of fraying.

Testing inertia reel belts

From time to time, carryout thefollowing tests:

1. With the seat belt fastened,give the webbing near the buckle aquick upward pull. The buckle must remainsecurely locked.

2. With the webbing half unreeled,hold the tongue plate and give ita quickforward pull. The mechanism must lock automaticallyand preventany further unreeling of the belt.

3. With the seat belt unfastened,unreel the webbing to the limit of its travel.Check that unreeling is free fromsnatches and snags.

If aseat belt should fail anyof thesetests, contact your dealerimmediately.

SRS/Airbag

The airbag SRS (supplementary restraintsystem)incorporates front and side airbagsfor boththe driver and front seat passenger.

Provided the front seat occupantsare correctly seatedwith seatbelts properly worn,the airbags provide additional protectionto thechest and facial areas inthe eventof the vehicle receiving a severe frontal impact,and tothe sideof the body facing the impact, ifa severeside collision occurs.

The front airbags are locatedin thecentre pad of the steeringwheel andin thefascia panel above the glovebox. Side airbags arepositioned in the backrest paddingon theoutward sideof both front seats (seeillustration).

PO407

Page 48

SRS/Airbag

WARNING

Following inflation, some SRS/airbag components are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled.

Even with SRS/airbag equipment fitted, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn because:

• An airbagwill only provide additional

protection in certain types of frontal collisions. NO protection is afforded against the effects of side or rear impacts, roll over accidents, or minor frontal impacts.

• Inflation and deflation takeplace

instantaneously and will not provide protection against the effects of secondary impacts that can occur during multiple vehicle collisions.

WARNING

The airbagmodule inflates with considerable speed and force. For your safety:

An inflatingairbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuries. The injurious affects of airbag inflation can be minimised, by ensuring driver and passenger are seated correctly, with the seat moved back as far as is practical, and the seat belts worn correctly.

NEVER attach accessory items to an airbag module cover,or place items of hand luggage orany objects on the top of a module cover;these could interfere with the inflation of the airbag,or if the airbag inflates, be propelled inside the vehicle causing injury to the occupants.

DO NOT allow occupants to obstruct the operation of the airbag modules by placing their feet, knees or any part of their person in contactwith, or close to, an airbag module whilethe vehicleis moving.

Activation of an airbag creates dust, causing possible breathing difficulties for asthma suffers or other people with respiratory problems. If an airbag is activated, any occupant who suffers from breathing difficulties should; either leave the vehicle as quickly as possible, or obtain fresh air by fully opening the windows or doors.

Both front seating positions are equipped with knee bolsters to provide knee protection in the event of an impact. DO NOT modify the bolsters, or mount after market equipment on or behind them.

Page 49

SRS/Airbag

To ensurecorrectdeployment ofthe airbags, it is essentialthat obstructionsare not allowed to intervenebetweenan airbagand the occupant. The following are examplesof the type of obstructions that couldeither, impede correct operation ofthe airbags,or jeopardise personal safety inthe eventof anairbag deployment:

• Accessoriesattached toan airbagcover.

• Items of hand luggage or other objects

placed on an airbag cover.

• Feet, knees or any otherpart ofthe

anatomy in contact with, orin close proximity to, a front airbagcover.

• Head, arms or any partof theanatomy in

contact with, or in closeproximity to,a side airbag.

• Items of clothing or cushionsdraped over

the part of a front seat containingthe airbag.

• Non-approved, seat coversfitted over a

front seat (in particular, beaware that seat covers approved foruse withRange Rover vehicles prior tothe introductionof side airbags will NOTbe suitablefor vehicles equipped with side airbags! Ifin doubt, seek advice froma LandRover dealer).

How the airbag SRS works

In theevent of a collision, theairbag control unit monitors the rate of deceleration induced by the collision to determinewhether the airbags should be deployed.

In thecase of a severe frontalcollision, both front airbags willbe deployed.In thecase of a severe side collision,only the airbag on the impact side of the vehiclewill inflate. However, there mayalso beimpact conditions whereby one side and bothfront airbags deploy at the same time,or wherefront and side airbags respondseparately as a result of a secondary impactoccurring afterthe initial collision has takenplace.

P0405

Page 50

SRS/Airbag

P0406

Airbag inflation isvirtually instantaneous and occurs with considerableforce accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated airbag,together with the seat belt restraintsystem, limit the occupant’s movement, therebyreducing the risk of injury to thehead andupper torso.

When an airbag inflates, afine powderis released. This isnot anindication of a malfunction, however thepowder maycause irritation to the skin andshould bethoroughly flushed from the eyes andany cutsor abrasions of the skin. Afterinflation, an airbag deflates immediately. Thisprovides a gradual cushioning effect for the occupantand also ensures that the driver’s forwardvision is not impaired.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The airbag SRS is not designed to operate as a result ofrear collisions, minor frontal or minor sideimpacts, orif the vehicle overturns;nor willit operate as a result of heavybraking ordriving over bumps and potholes.

Operation of the airbag SRSis dependent entirely on the acceleration or decelerationforces thatare applied to the vehicle’spassenger compartmentas a result of a collision. Thecircumstances affecting different collisions(vehicle speed, angle of impact, typeand sizeof object hit for example), varyconsiderably and will affect the rateof accelerationor decelerationaccordingly.

It follows,therefore, that insome instances, significant superficialdamage can occur to the vehiclewithout the airbags deploying and,conversely, that in other circumstances, theairbags will deploy even though the vehiclehas experiencedrelatively small amountsof damage.

Airbags will only deploy when they are required to supplement the restraining force of the seat belts.

WARNING

Following inflation, some airbag SRS components are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled.

Page 51

SRS/Airbag

Side airbags

Side airbags aredesigned toprotect the thorax region of the torsoand willonly deploy in the event of a severe sideimpact. They will NOT inflate as a resultof frontalor rear impacts.

In theevent of a severe sidecollision, the airbag on the impact sideof thevehicle breaks through the seat covering, rapidlyinflating to form a cushion between theoccupant andthe side of the vehicle.

Note that a part of the outer side ofthe seat trim (identified bythe woven’airbag’ label) is manufactured with a specially constructed seam which enablesthe airbagto break through. The manufacture and materialsof the seat are criticalto theperformance of the airbag. For this reason, non-approvedseat covers must NEVERbe fitted,and itis recommended that any repair orreplacement to thefront seats be carried outby aLand Rover dealer (see’Service information’).

Airbag SRS warning light

A warninglight, mounted on the instrument pack, will alertyou toany malfunctionwhich might prevent the airbag SRSfrom operating correctly in theevent ofan impact.The system should alwaysbe checkedby a dealer if any of the following symptoms occur:

• The warning light fails toilluminate when

the starter switchis turnedto position’II’.

• The warning light fails toextinguish within

approximatelyfive secondsafter the starter switch isturned toposition ’II’.

• The warning light illuminates whilethe

vehicle is beingdriven.

NOTE: Afterthe starterswitch is turnedto

position ’II’, the system’s diagnosticcontrol unit checks itsown memoryand thewarning light bulb for faults. If a faultis found,the warning light willilluminate.

Seating positions

In orderto provide optimum protection inthe event of a severe vehicleimpact, it is necessaryfor theairbags todeploy with considerablespeed.

An inflatingairbagcan causefacial abrasions and other injuriesif theoccupant istoo close to theairbag at the time of its deployment.

WARNING

To minimisethe risk of accidental injury from inflating airbags, seat belts should be correctly worn at all times. In addition, both driver and front seat passenger should adjust the seat to provide the maximum practical distance from the front airbags, and alsoensure that a gap is maintained between the upper torso and the side of the vehicle to enable unobstructed inflation of the sideairbags.

Page 52

SRS/Airbag

CHILD SEATS

Children aged 12 years andunder aremore likely to receiveinjuries from inflatingairbags than adult occupants. For thisreason, itis recommended that childrenshould alwaysbe seated in the rear ofthe vehiclein a child safety seat or restraint systemappropriateto their age and size (see’Seat belts’).

If itis necessary fora childto travelin the front, set the seat fullyrearwards and use a front facing child seat ONLY.

WARNING

DO NOT USE A REAR FACING CHILD SEAT IN ANY FRONT SEAT LOCATION. If the passenger airbag inflates, it could impact with the child restraint causing serious injury to the child.

Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Be sure to install child restraints according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Under no circumstances should a rear facing child seat be installed facing forward in any seating position.

Service information

After a period of time (10 yearsfor front airbags, and 15 years forside airbags)from the original date of registration(or the installation date ofa replacementairbag module), some components will needto be replaced. Note the’airbag modulereplacement date’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfolio book. To ensure absolute safety,it is recommended that thiswork iscarried out by a Land Rover dealer whoshould stampand sign the appropriatepage ofthe Service Portfolio book once the workis complete.

In addition,ALWAYS contact yourdealer if:

• an airbag inflates

• the front or side of the vehicleis damaged,

even if the corresponding airbaghas not inflated.

• any part of an airbagmodule covershows

signs of deteriorationor damage.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to service repair, replace, modify or tamper with any part of the airbag SRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbag SRS component; this could cause the system to activate, resulting in personal injury.

Page 53

SRS/Airbag

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The components that make up the airbag SRS are sensitiveto electricalor physical interference,either ofwhich couldeasily damage the system and causeinadvertent operation or a malfunction ofany airbag module.

For your safety it isrecommended that you seek the assistance ofa LandRover dealer to carryout anyof thefollowing:

• Removal or repairof anywiring or

component in the vicinity ofany of the SRS components (yellow wiring harness), including: thesteering wheel, steering column,front seats, instrument and fasciapanels.

• Installation of electronicequipment

such as a mobile telephone, two-way radio or in-car entertainment system.

• Attachment of accessoriesto the

front or side of the vehicle.

• Modification to the front or side of

the vehicle.

• Removal or replacementor

retrimming of a front seator seat cover.

Disposing of vehicles

If yousell your vehicle,be sureto informthe new owner that the vehiclehas anairbag SRS, and make the new owner aware ofthe airbag module replacement dateshown onpage 2of the Service Portfoliobook.

If thevehicle is to be scrapped:uninflated airbags are potentiallyvery dangerous and must be safely deployed ina controlled environment by qualifiedpersonnel BEFORE a vehicle is scrapped.

Starting the engine

STARTING

WARNING

The catalyticconverter is easily damaged by improper use, particularly if the wrong fuel is used, or if an engine misfire occurs.

Before starting the engine anddriving, ENSURE that you are familiarwith the precautions shown under’Catalytic converter’ later in this section.

In particular,you should beaware thatif the engine fails to start, continueduse ofthe starter may resultin unburntfuel damaging the catalytic converter.

Starting procedure

1. Check that the parking brakeis applied

and that the gear selectoris in’P’ or ’N’.

2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical equipment.

3. Turn the starter switch toposition ’II’and then on to position ’III’ to operatethe starter motor; DONOT pressthe acceleratorpedal whilestarting. RELEASE THE KEY as soon as the engineis running.

In temperateclimatesDO NOToperate the starter for longerthan 5seconds; ifthe engine fails to start, switch offand waitfor 10 seconds before re-usingthe starter.Note that continued use of the starterwill dischargethe battery. In temperateclimates thebattery charging and oil pressure warninglights should extinguish assoon asthe engineis running. In verycold climates, ifthe enginefails to start after threeattempts, fullydepress the acceleratorand operatethe startercontinually for up to 30 seconds, or until the engineruns.

WARNING

Exhaust fumes contain poisonous substances which can cause unconsciousness and may even be fatal.

• DO NOT inhale exhaust gases.

• DO NOT start or leave the engine running

in anenclosed unventilated area, or drive with the tailgate door open.

• DO NOT modify the exhaust system from

the originaldesign.

• Repair exhaust system or body leaks

immediately.

• If youthink exhaust fumes are entering

the vehiclehave the cause determined and correctedimmediately.

Cold climates

In verycold climates theoil pressurewarning lights may take several secondsto extinguish. Similarly, engine crankingtimes will also increase; at -22˚F(-30˚C) thestarter motor may need to be operated continuously foras long as 30 seconds beforethe enginewill start. For this reason, ensurethat all non-essentialelectrical equipment is switched off.

Additionally, in verycold temperatures,use of a 110V AC block heater will improvethe engine’s starting characteristics.Only approved block heaters,restricted to a maximum of 400W, should be used. Block heaters that exceeedthis outputmay damage the emission controlcomponents. YourLand Rover dealer canadvise you about the supply and use of a block heater.

Page 89

Starting the engine

DRIVING

WARNING

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance and, therefore, a higher centre of gravity than ordinarypassenger cars, to enable the vehicle to perform in a wide variety of off-road applications. An advantage of the higher ground clearance, is a better view of the roadallowing you to anticipate problems. The Range Rover is not designed for cornering at the same speed as conventional passenger cars, any more than a lowslung sports car is designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the Range Rover correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.

Before driving

Learn the layout and functionof allthe instruments, warning lightsand controls. Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position, from which you canensure full control of the vehicle. Always start the vehicle andoperate the controls from the driving position.

Instruments & warning lights

Before driving, itis importantto fully understand the function of the instruments and warning lights described insection 2.

Shift interlock

Your vehicle isfitted withgear changing interlocks, which requirethe starterswitch to be turned on and the brake pedaldepressed, before the gear selector canbe movedfrom the ’P’ (Park) position.

WARNING

When the engine has started, BEFORE moving the gear selector lever out of ’P’ or ’N’, it is important that both parking brake and footbrakeare firmly applied and that the accelerator pedal is not depressed otherwise, the vehicle may move immediately if the gear lever is moved to any of the drive positions (1, 2, 3, D or R). This is particularly important when the engine iscold because the engine will be idling at a fasterspeed than normal. Use the footbrake to control the vehicle, until the engine iswarm and running at normal speed.

NOTE: Redwarning lights are of particular

importance, illumination indicatesthat a fault exists. If a red lightilluminates always stop the vehicle and seek qualifiedassistance before continuing.

Page 90

Starting the engine

Warming-up

In theinterests of fueleconomy, itis advisable to drivethe vehicle straightaway, remembering that harshacceleration or labouring the engine before thenormal operating temperature hasbeen reachedcan damage the engine.

When the engine is cold,engine idlespeeds will be faster than normal.Under these circumstances,use thefootbrake to control the vehicle untilthe engineis warmand running at normal speed, andbe awareof the need to take additional carewhen manoeuvring the vehicle.

Vehicle height

The overall heightof yourvehicle exceeds that of anordinary car (evenwhen ACCESSride height is selected).Always beaware of the height of your vehicle andcheck theavailable clearancebefore drivingthrough low entrances. This isparticularly important if the vehicle is fittedwith aroof rackor if the sunroof is open.

Power assisted steering

The hydraulic power-assistedsteering is equipped with a positive ’centrefeel’ characteristic,which givesenhanced vehicle stability at high speeds andin crosswinds.

Power assistance isprogressively applied the more the steering wheel isturned. For example: where manualsteering effort would normally be greatest(at slowspeeds on maximum lock), powerassistance is at its greatest. Similarly, whereonly minimal steering effort wouldnormally berequired (at high speed with the wheelsstraight ahead), then power assistanceis alsominimal, thus enabling the driverto benefitfrom apparently consistent steering effortat alltimes.

NOTE: Powerassistance is dependenton the

engine running. If the engineis notrunning, greater effort willbe requiredto steer the vehicle.

Auxiliary equipment

WARNING

Do NOT use auxiliary equipment, such as a roller generator, which is driven by one wheel of the vehicle,as this could cause failure of the gearbox differential. In some cases the vehicle may attempt to drive itself forward.

Some local jurisdictions require emission testing using a two wheel roller dynamometer. The Range Rover is equipped with permanent 4-wheel drive and cannot be safely operated on these machines. For more information regarding safe emission testing of your vehicle consult your local Land Roverdealer or Centre.

Page 91

Starting the engine

Parking

After bringing the vehicle toa stop,ALWAYS apply the parking brake andselect ’P’ before releasing the footbrakeand switchingoff the engine.

Switching off

After selecting gearposition ’P’,return the starter switch to position ’I’and thento position ’0’ to remove thekey.

NOTE: Thestarter key cannot be removed

unless the gear selector isin ’P’ (park).

BREAKING-IN

Proper breaking-in willhave a direct bearing on thereliabilityand smoothrunning ofyour vehicle throughout itslife.

In particular,the engine, gearbox,brakes and tyres need time to bed-inand adjustto the demands of everydaymotoring. Itis, therefore, essential todrive with consideration for the breaking-inprocess forat leastthe first 500 miles(800 km) and observe thefollowing advice:

• LIMIT maximum road speed to 70 mph

(110 km/h). Initially,drive thevehicle on a light throttle and only increaseengine speeds gradually oncethe running-in distance has beencompleted.

• DO NOT operateat fullthrottle orallow the

engine to labour in anygear.

• AVOID fast accelerationand heavybraking

except in emergencies.

FUEL ECONOMY

Fuel consumption is influenced bytwo major factors:

• How your vehicleis maintained.

• How you drive your vehicle.

To obtainoptimum fuel economy, it is essential that yourvehicle is maintained in accordance with themanufacturer’s service schedule.

Driving with the gearshift in’D’ in the HIGH range, but not in ’sport’ mode, willprovide the best fuel economy.

Items such as, the conditionof theair cleaner element, tyre pressuresand wheelalignment can have a significant effecton fuel consumption. But above all, theway inwhich you drive is most important.The following hints may help you to obtain evenbetter value from your motoring:

• Avoid unnecessary, short,start-stop

journeys.

• Avoid fast startsby acceleratinggently and

smoothly from rest.

• Do not drive in the lower gearsfor longer

than necessary.

• Decelerategently andavoid sudden and

heavy braking.

• Anticipate obstructions andadjust your

speed accordingly wellin advance.

• When stationary intraffic, selectneutral to

improve fuel economyand airconditioning performance.

Page 92

Catalytic converter

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

The exhaust systemincorporates a catalytic converter, which convertspoisonous exhaust emissions from the engine into environmentallyless harmfulgases, thereby reducing atmospheric pollution.

WARNING

The catalyticconverter can be easily damaged throughimproper use, particularly if thewrong fuel is used or if an engine misfire occurs. For this reason,it isVERY IMPORTANT that you heed the precautions which follow:

Fuel

• Use ONLY fuel recommended foryour

vehicle.

Starting the engine

• DO NOT continue operating thestarter

switch if the engine failsto startafter a few attempts (unburnt fuel maybe drawn into the exhaust system, thereby damaging the catalyst);seek qualified assistance.

• When starting a cold engine,DO NOTdrive

if a misfire is suspected;seek qualified assistance.

Page 93

Catalytic converter

Driving

• Provided the engine has reachedits

normal operating temperature,if amisfire is suspected, or if thevehicle lackspower while driving, itmay bedriven SLOWLY (at risk of damaging thecatalyst) to a Land Rover dealerfor assistance.

• NEVER allow a vehicle torun outof fuel

(the resultant misfirecould destroythe catalyst).

• Engines burning excessiveoil (blue smoke

from the exhaust) will progressively reduce catalyst efficiency.

• On rough terrain, DO NOTallow the

underside of the vehicle tobe subjectedto heavy impacts whichcould damagethe catalytic converter.

• DO NOT overloador excessivelyrevthe

engine.

WARNING

Exhaust system temperatures can be extremely high; DO NOT park on ground where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves could come into contact with the exhaustsystem (in very dry weather a fire could result).

Switching off

• DO NOT switch off the engine whilea

forward or reversedrive gearis selected.

Vehicle maintenance

• Any engine misfirewhich causesthe

Check Engine indicatorto flash(see ’Warning lights’), lossof engine performance or enginerun-on, could seriously damage thecatalytic converter. For this reason, it isvital thatunqualified persons do not tamper with the engine, and that regular systematic maintenanceis carried out by a Land Rover dealer.

• DO NOT run the enginewith aspark plug

or HT lead removed, oruse anydevice that requires an insertinto aspark plug.

Page 94

Fuel

USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL

Octane requirements

Always use PREMIUMUNLEADED GASOLINE with a CLC or AKI octane rating of 90 or 92 (95 or 96 RON).

NOTE: Federallaw requires thatgasoline

octane ratings be posted onthe pumps.The Cost of Living Council (CLC)octane ratingor Anti Knock Index (AKI) octanerating shownis an average of Research OctaneNumber (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON).

Using unleaded fuelwith anoctane rating lower than that recommended, cancause persistent heavy ’engineknock’ (a metallic rapping sound). If severe, thiscan leadto engine damage.

If heavyengine knock isdetected whenusing recommended octane ratedfuel, orif steady engine knocking ispresent whilemaintaining a steady speed on levelroads, contactyour dealer for adviceas soonas possible.Failure to takemeasuresto eliminateeither condition constitutes misuse ofthe vehicle!

NOTE: Anoccasional, light, engine knock

experiencedONLY forshort periodswhile acceleratingor climbinghills is acceptable.

WARNING

DO NOT use leaded fuel! Your engine is designed to use unleaded fuel ONLY. Unleaded fuel is essential for proper operation of the emission control system.

Even a very small quantityof leadedfuel will damage your vehicle’semission control system and could invalidate theemissions warranty. In addition, leaded fuelwill damage the oxygen sensorsin thefuel injection system and also seriously damagethe catalyst in the catalyticconverter.

Reformulated gasolines andgasolines that contain detergents, anti-corrosionand stability additives arerecommended - they will help your vehiclemaintain thecorrect level of emissions and engineperformance.

Fuel system cleaningagents shouldbe avoided, as many of theseproducts canbe harmful to gaskets and othermaterials used in fuel system components.

Driveability

If youencounter driveability, startingand stalling problems, especiallyin high ambient temperatures or athigh altitudewhen the engine is cold, it maybe causedby poor quality fuel. Try an alternativebrand, and if the problem persists, seekadvice from your dealer.

Page 95

Gasoline/oxygenated fuel blends

To avoidinvalidatingthe vehiclewarranty, use ONLY fuels blendedwithin thefollowing limits:

1. Up to 15% of Methyl Tertiary ButylEther (MTBE) and unleaded fuel mix.

2. Up to 15% of Ethyl Tertiary ButylEther (ETBE) and unleaded fuel mix.

3. Up to 10% of Ethanol (Ethyl or grain alcohol) and unleadedfuel mix.

Methanol/unleaded fuel blends

In someareas it ispossible tobuy unleaded fuel that is blended withup to 5% Methanol (Methyl or wood alcohol) andcosolvents and corrosion preventatives. Usingthese blends can cause driveabilityproblems and damage to thefuel system components.Their usemay also invalidate thevehicle warranty. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, AVOID USING FUEL CONTAINING METHANOL!

Octane enhancers

The use of octane enhancersis not recommended, and may invalidate thevehicle warranty.

WARNING

Automotive fuels can cause serious injury, and evendeath if misused. Methanol/unleaded fuel blends, even in small amounts, can cause blindness and possible death if swallowed. Additionally, take precautions to avoid methanol from coming into contact with the skin.

Fuel

FUEL FILLER FLAP

The fuel filleris locatedin therear right-hand fender. Press the fuel fillerswitch (shown in illustration)to openthe fillerflap.

The fuel fillerswitch mayonly beoperated with the starter key turnedto position’0’. It will not operate when theengine isrunning.

GAS STATION SAFETY

Petroleum gases arehighly flammable and, in confined spaces, arealso extremely explosive. Alwaystake sensible precautions when refuelling:

• Switch off the engine.

• Do not smoke or use a nakedflame

or light.

• Take care not to spillfuel.

• Do not overfill the tank.

Page 96

Fuel

WARNING

To avoidany sudden discharge of fuel caused by excessive air pressure,the capis designed to allow the fuel tankto vent during the first half turn. DO NOT fully remove the cap until pressure has been released. Place the cap in the retaining bracket on the rear of the flap whilst refuelling. Unless absolutely necessary, the fuel fillercap should not be removed unless the vehicleis standing on level ground. DO NOT OVERFILL!

WARNING

DO NOT fully fill the tank if the vehicle is to be parkedin direct sunlight or high ambient temperature - expansion of the fuel could cause spillage.

WARNING

Ensure the filler cap is fitted correctly after refueling, otherwise the Check Engine warning light may illuminate.

Empty fuel tank

DO NOT RUN THE FUEL TANK DRY!

Running the fuel tank drycould createan engine misfire capableof damagingthe catalytic converter. Itwill also cause the Check Engine warning light to illuminate.

Fuel filling

Filling station pumpsare equippedwith automatic cut-off sensingto avoidfuel spillage; DO NOTattempt tofill thetank beyond this point or spillagecould resultdue to expansionof the fuel.

The reduced diameterfiller neckaccepts ONLY a narrow filler nozzleof thetype found on pumpsthat deliver unleadedfuel.

INERTIA SWITCH

For information about the operationof the inertia switch see’Locks &alarm’.

Page 97

Automatic transmission

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The automatic transmissionfeatures an ’H-gate’ gear selectormechanism. This combines the operatingmechanism ofboth the main gearbox and thetransfer gears,and enables the gearselector positions,for both the high and low gear ranges, tobe located side by side.

Gear selector lever

Move the selectorlever forwardor back along the driver’s sideof the’H’, toselect the high range of gears. Similarly, bymoving the lever to thepassenger side, thelow rangecan be selected instead. The’H-gate’ illumination is colour coded to identify thetwo ranges:high range illumination isgreen andlow rangeis amber.

A springloaded catch builtinto thehandle of the gear selectorlever, restrictsmovementof the lever, therebypreventing inadvertentgear selection. The catchhas twopressures:

• the first pressureenables gearchanges to

be made within a singlerange ofgears (High range OR Low range).

• the second pressureenables theselector

to bemoved from one range of gears to another (ie. from High TOLow).

NOTE: Gearselection between ’D’and ’3’

(High range) or ’4’ and’3’ (Lowrange) may be made without pressing the catch.

HIGH RANGE GEARS

Use the high range for road drivingand also for off-road driving across dry,level terrain. The message centrewill momentarilydisplay ’HIGH’, as soon as Highrange isselected, and then display the gear selected(eg. ’3’).

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to change to LOW range gears for normal road driving.

Page 98

Automatic transmission

LOW RANGE GEARS

ONLY use low range gearsin situationswhere low speed manoeuvringis necessary,such as reversing a traileror negotiatinga boulder strewn river bed;also uselow rangefor more extreme off-road conditionswhere progressin high range cannot be maintained.

When low range is selected,the message centre displays ’LOW’momentarily, and then ’L’ is displayedalong withthe relevantgear selected (eg.’L2’).

High/low range change warning

An audiblewarning will soundwhilst achange from one gear range to another isattempted. The warning will cease oncethe changeis complete or cancelled.

Using the ’H-gate’

To makea change from high to low orvice versa, the vehicle must be stationary!

• Apply the brakes and select’N’.

• Ensure the vehicleis stationary,then fully

depress the catchbuilt intothe handleof the selector leverand movethe lever across the cross-pieceof the’H-gate’. On reaching the requiredgear rangeposition, the ’H’-gate illuminationand thetransfer gearbox warning light(in theinstrument pack) start to flash andthe audible warning sounds.

• Wait until illuminationof thenew gear

range selector positionsis constantand the transfer gearboxwarning light extinguishes (the audiblewarning will silence and Highor Lowis displayedin the message centre), beforeselecting the desired gear inthe newrange and releasing the brakes.

• If thevehicle is movingwhen atransfer

gear change is attempted, themessage centre will display’SLOW DOWN’and the audible warning willsound.

• If thegear range is changed andforward

or reverse driveengaged withoutfirst waiting in ’N’ for theillumination tostop flashing and the audible warningto stop, the message centrewill display’SELECT NEUTRAL’ and a warning willsound reselect ’N’ andwait forrange change completion before selectingthe required driving gear.

WARNING

To avoidpersonal injury and possible damage tothe transmission,it is essential to ensurethat any change of gear range is fully completed before releasing the brake and driving,i.e:

• Illumination of the gearrange selector

positions is continuous.

• The transfergearbox warning light has

extinguished.

• The audiblewarning is silent.

• The messagecentre displays the

appropriate message - ’HIGH’ or ’LOW’.

Page 99

Automatic transmission

Selector lever positions

(high range)

’P’ Park

In thisposition the transmissionis lockedto prevent the vehiclefrom rollingaway. Select ONLY with the vehicle stationary.

’R’ Reverse

Select ONLY when the vehicleis stationary.

’N’ Neutral

Use this positionwhen thevehicle is stationary and the engine isto idlefor a short period (eg. at traffic lights).

’D’ Drive

In highrange, select ’D’for allnormal driving on goodroad surfaces; fullyautomatic gear changing occurs on all forwardgears according to vehiclespeed andaccelerator position.

’3’ (1st,2nd and 3rd gears)

Automatic gear changingis limitedto first, second and third gears only.In highrange, use in congested traffic conditionsand for town driving.

’2’ (1stand 2nd gears)

Automatic gear changingis limitedto firstand second ratios only.In highrange, usewhen driving up steep gradients andfor negotiating very narrow twistingroads. Thisposition also provides moderate enginebraking for descending slopes.

’1’ (1stgear only)

Use on very severe gradients,particularly when towing, and when maximum engine braking is required.

NOTE: Ifposition ’2’or ’1’ is selected from’D’

or ’3’ while the vehicleis travellingat high speed in high range, then, depending on vehicle speed, thirdgear willimmediately engage. Progressive decelerationwill then cause downshifts into second andthen first gear when appropriatelylow roadspeeds are reached.

WARNING

When parked always leave the vehicle with the gearselector in ’P’ (Park), and the parking brake applied, even when the starter key is not removed.

NOTE: Thestarter key cannot be removed

unless the gear selector isin ’P’ (park).

Page 100

Automatic transmission

Starting and driving

Drivers unfamiliar withthe performance characteristicsof automaticgearboxes should thoroughly familiarise themselveswith the following instructions beforedriving.

• Before starting the engine, ensurethat

both footbrakeand parking brakeare applied.

• After starting the engine, KEEPTHE

BRAKES APPLIED whilst moving the selector lever tothe requireddrive position.

• Keep the brakes applied untilyou are

ready to move - remember,once adrive position is selected,an ’automatic’will tend to creep forward (orbackward).

• Never ’rev’ theengine whileselecting a

forward or reversedrive gear,or while the vehicle is stationarywith adrive gear selected - remember,an ’automatic’will move immediately theaccelerator pedal is pressed.

Gear changing in high range

The road speeds at whichgear changestake place vary accordingto theposition of the accelerator;minimum accelerationwillresult in gear changes at lowroad speeds,while greater throttle openingswill causethe gearbox to delay gear changesuntil faster road speeds havebeen reached(thereby increasing acceleration).

With practice, gearchanges canbe made to occur at a wide rangeof differentroad speeds, depending on acceleratorpedal pressure.

On long inclines, an automaticgearbox will sometimes change backand forthbetween gears. This occursbecause thetransmission does not include a ratiothat isprecisely right for the particularincline andvehicle loading circumstances.Excessive gear changingis wasteful of fuel and resultsin aloss of momentum; it can be preventedby selecting the ’3’ or ’2’ positionswhich limitthe gearbox to lowerratios.

’Kick-down’

To providerapid acceleration for overtaking, ’kick’ the acceleratorpedal to the full extentof its travel in a single,quick movement (this is known as ’kick-down’).Up toa certainspeed, this will causean immediatedownshift into the lowest appropriategear, followedby rapid acceleration.Once thepedal is relaxed,normal gear change speedswill resume(dependent on roadspeed and acceleratorpedal position).
