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

WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE

VEHICLE

Warning labels attached to your vehicle bearing this symbol

mean: DONOT 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!

INFORMATION LABELS ENGINE

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.

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.

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.

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.

’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’.
