injury or death, you shouldimmediately
inform the NationalHighway TrafficSafety
Administration (NHTSA) inaddition to
notifying Land Rover North AmericaInc.
If NHTSAreceivessimilar complaints, it may

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.
12
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.
14
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

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

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.
