OWNER’S HANDBOOK

This handbook together with the Passport to Service, provides all the information that you will need to derive maximum pleasurefrom owning and driving your new Range Rover.

For convenience, the handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a particularaspect of driving or caring for the vehicle. Sections are listed on the contents page and you will find it worthwhile to take a little time to read each one, and to get to know your Range Rover as soon as you possibly can. Remember, the more you understand before you drive, the greater the satisfactionwhen you are seated behind the steering wheel.

Introduction

PASSPORT TO SERVICE

Your new Range Rover is covered by the following warranties:

• Land Rover New Vehicle Limited Warranty

• Land Rover Corrosion Perforation Limited

Warranty

• Land Rover Vehicle Emission Control

System Warranty (U.S.A.)

• Land Rover U.S. Emissions Performance

Warranty

Detailed information on these warrantiescan be found in the Passport to Service included in your literature pack. The Passport to Service also contains important vehicle identification information and useful consumer advice.

Most important of all, however, is the section on maintenance. This outlines the servicing requirements for your Range Rover and also incorporates the service record slips, which the Dealer should sign and stamp to certify that routine services have been carried out at the recommended intervals.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Land Rover North America Inc.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your Dealer or Land Rover North America.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Auto Safety HOTLINE toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the HOTLINE.

Introduction

SAFETY WARNINGS

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 Range Rover has a higher ground clearance and hence a 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 road allowing you to anticipate problems. The Range Rover is not designed for cornering at the same speed as conventional passenger cars any more than a low slung sports car is designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the Range Rover correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. Be sure to read the "on-road" and "off-road" driving guidelines that follow.

Introduction

WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE

VEHICLE

If you need to communicate with a Land Rover dealer, you may be asked to quote the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

The VIN and other information concerning your vehicle can be found on the certification label affixed to the lock face of the front left-hand door, where shown (this VIN should match the VIN recorded in the Passport to Service book).

In addition, the Federal VIN plate is mounted to the vehicle body in such a position that it is visible from the outside through the bottom corner of the windscreen on the driver’sside.

WARNING

DO NOT exceed gross weight or axle loads described on the vehicle certification identification label.

WARNING:

HIGHER RISK OF ROLLOVER

Avoid Abrupt Maneuvers

and Excessive Speed.

Always Buckle Up.

Introduction

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

While it may be difficult to deter the ’professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts are carried out by unskilled opportunists. Therefore, take vehicle securityvery seriously and ALWAYS adopt this simple ’four point’ drill whenever you leave your vehicle - even for just a few minutes:

1. Fully close all the windows (and the

sunroof).

2. Remove your valuable belongings (or hide

them out of sight).

3. Remove the starter key.

4. Superlock the vehicle using the remote

handset.

Thieves are attracted by ’vulnerable’vehicles. Even if you have followed the ’four point’ drill, there is still much you can do to make your vehicle a less inviting target.

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY!

• Park where your vehicle can be easily seen

by householders and passers-by.

• At night, park in well lit areas and avoid

deserted or dimly-lit side streets.

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

NEVER leave the keys in the vehicle.

• Do not keep important documents (or

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

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown

safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:-

• Wherever possible, consistent with

safety and traffic conditions, the vehicle should be moved off the main thoroughfare, preferably onto the shoulder as far as possible. If a breakdown occurs on a freeway, pull well over to the inside of the hard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position the warning

triangle (located on the underside of the loadspace floor panel - see ’Warning triangle’) or a flashing amber light at an appropriate distance from the vehicle to warn other traffic of the breakdown (note the legal requirements of some areas).

• Consider evacuating passengers to a

safe area away from the vehicle as a precaution in case your Range Rover is struck by another vehicle.

SECTION 2

Controls & instruments

In this section of the handbook you will find descriptions of the controls and instruments on your vehicle.

For your own safety, it is most important to read this section fully and to gain a thorough understanding of all the controls before driving.

Security Card

The security card, supplied with the literature pack, contains important emergency information. It is ESSENTIAL that you keep the card safe from theft and ensure that it is passed to the new owner if you sell 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 to your vehicle and is essential proof of its specification. The number can also be found in various locations around the vehicle (see ’Vehicle Identification’ in Section 1).

• Radio security code number: Your vehicle

is delivered with the security code disabled. If you wish to have it actuated see your Land Rover dealer.

WARNING

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

Locks & alarm

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm system. In order to ensure maximum security, you are advised to gain a full understanding of the system by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.

LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE

ALARM

You have been supplied with two handset/keys (numbered 1 and 2). While both are identical in operation, they transmit two different sets of information (see ’Key activated memory seats’). Replacement handsets are only available from a Land Rover dealer. Up to two further handsets (3 and 4) can also be obtained.

There are four methods for securing your vehicle:

1. ’Superlocking’ using the handset -

(recommended high security method).

2. ’Superlocking’ using the key.

3. Locking using the handset.

4. Locking using the key. FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY, ALWAYS

’SUPERLOCK’ THE VEHICLE USING THE

HANDSET

(except when the vehicle is to be locked with passengers or animals inside).

The handset

The radio remote handset has three buttons (described below). By pressing the appropriate button, the handset can be used either as a conventional key, or as a remote handset to either lock or ’superlock’the vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Emergency keys

In addition to the two handsets, you have also been supplied with two separate keys. These keys perform the same functions as the key part of the handset and are intended for emergency use only. DO NOT keep the keys inside the vehicle.

1. Key release button.

• Press to release the key, which can then

be used as a conventional key to operate the starter switch, glovebox and door 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 operate the ’Key

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

Once the security system is armed, the following features are activated:

• The central locking system locks all the

doors and the tailgate.

• The perimetric alarm (protecting the

doors, hood and tailgate) is armed.

• If ’handset superlocking’ is activated,the

volumetric alarm is also armed (a sensor inside the passenger compartment monitors the interior space and activates the alarm if an intrusion into the passenger compartment is detected).

The volumetric sensor will enter a self-check mode each time you turn the starter switch off. It will remain active for 60 seconds, or until:

1. The driver’s door is opened and closed.

2. The vehicle is locked with the handset or

key.

NOTE: If the sensor fails its self-checkfive

times consecutively, only the ’perimetric’ elements of the security system will be active (doors, hood and tailgate). Any attempt to

’superlock’ with the handset will result in ’ALARM FAULT’ being displayed on the

message centre and a mislock occurring (see ’Mislock’). Seek qualified assistance to rectify the fault.

NOTE: The handset complies with part 15 of

the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful

interference.

2. This device must accept any interference

received, including interferencethat may cause undesired operation. This applies to both alarm receivers and handset transmitter.

CAUTION: Any changes or modifications to

the transmitter not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Locks & alarm

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

After locking the vehicle, the RED indicator light (arrowed in illustration) flashes rapidly for ten seconds to confirm that the security system has been successfully armed. After ten seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower frequency, and then continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until such time as the security system is disarmed.

If, while operating the handset (or key), the alarm sounds, this indicates that one of the doors, the hood or the tailgate is not properly closed (the message centre display will confirm which aperture is not secure).

Although the handset can be successfully operated from a significant distance from the vehicle, when locking it is wise to be close enough to visually confirm that the door locking buttons have dropped into place and that the indicator light confirms a successful lock.

NOTE: Occasional atmospheric conditions

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

If the message centre displays ’KEY BATTERY LOW’, this indicates that the handset batteries need replacing (see ’Handset batteries’).

SUPERLOCKING

If the vehicle is ’superlocked’ (with either the handset, or the key), the doors CANNOT be unlocked or opened from inside the vehicle.

For this reason DO NOT superlock the vehicle with passengers inside.

’Superlocking’ using the handset:

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

If any door, the hood or tailgate is left open, a mislock will occur (see ’Mislock’).

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

To unlock:

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

If the handset is inoperative, the vehiclecan be unlocked by using the key in the driver’s door lock.

/2seconds). After 15

Locks & alarm

’Superlocking’ using the key:

Wherever possible the handset MUST be used to ’superlock’ the vehicle. However, if the handset is inoperative, the key can be used as follows:

Turn the key in the driver’s door towards the rear of the vehicle (and release)twice within

/2seconds.

NOTE: ’Superlocking’ the vehicle using the

key will provide perimetric protection only volumetric protection (protection of the interior space inside the vehicle)WILL NOT BE ACTIVE! If any door, the hood, or the tailgate is left open, a mislock will occur (see ’Mislock’).

To unlock:

Wherever possible use the handset to unlock the vehicle - press and releasethe ’unlock’ button.

If necessary, the key can also be used to unlock a ’superlocked’ vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If unattended passengers are to be left in the vehicle, it is recommended that they should lock the vehicle from inside by pressing down the driver’s door sill button.

If animals are to be left in the vehicle, volumetric protection MUST NOT be activated - any movement inside the vehicle could trigger the alarm.

NEVER leave children unattended in 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: If the handset ’lock’ button or the door

key are operated once, the central locking will be activated, but the alarm will only be in ’perimetric’ mode and the doors and locks CAN be opened from the inside. ALWAYS, where possible secure the vehicleby ’superlocking’.

’Sill’ locking

To operate the central locking from inside the vehicle, push down either front door sill button.

The security system will NOT be armed.

NOTE: ’Sill’ locking is NOT possible from

outside the vehicle.

Locks & alarm

MISLOCK

A mislock will occur if:

• A door, hood or tailgate are left open.

• The key is left in the starter switch.

• An incomplete ’all close’ is attempted. The

message centre will indicate the cause of a mislock e.g. ’SUNROOF BLOCKED’.

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

’ALL CLOSE’ FEATURE

The key activated ’all close’feature enables you to use the key to close the windows and sunroof at the same time as you secure the vehicle.

To operate:

1. Ensure the doors, hood and tailgate are

properly closed.

2. Turn and hold the key in the ’lock’ position

(turn twice and hold on the second turn if ’Superlocking’).

The doors and tailgate will lock and the windows, followed by the sunroof will close.

NOTE: If a window or the sunroof detects an

obstruction, a mislock occurs and the locking sequence will stop. Remove the obstruction before trying to use the ’all close’ feature again.

KEY ACTIVATED MEMORY SEATS

This feature enables the handsets to be used to recall the pre-set electricseat/mirror positions when you UNLOCK the door. The two handsets are separately identified by different labels and by grey and black battery covers - key 1 corresponds to driver’s seat memory 1, and key 2 to seat memory 2 (see ’Seats’).

NOTE: If additional handset/keys have been

obtained (key 3 & key 4), they are not linked to the memory seat system.

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

/2seconds (the indicator light

NOTE: This feature will only operate if

volumetric protection was activated when the vehicle was locked (ie. by ’superlocking’ using the handset). It will not function if the alarm system has already been triggered since it was last set, and will be cancelled if a door is opened, or if the vehicle is relocked.

Locks & alarm

AUTO RELOCK

Auto relock ensures that, if the vehicleis unlocked accidentally, the vehiclewill relock itself automatically after a 60 second delay.

Once the ’unlock’ button on the handset has been pressed, the alarm system will monitor the vehicle for 60 seconds. If any of the following occur during this period, the vehicle will remain unlocked:

• A door or the tailgate is opened.

• Interior movement is detected.

• The key is inserted into the starter switch,

or the switch is turned to position ’I’.

However, if none of the above has occurred within 60 seconds, then the vehicle will automatically return to its previous ’locked’ state.

OPENING THE DOORS

When opening a door from outside the vehicle, it is recommended that the moving part of the handle is held by the fingers and that the door catch is operated by pushing with the thumb against the fixed part of the handle.

CHILD-PROOF LOCKS (rear doors only)

Move the lever downwards (arrowed in illustration) to engage.

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

WARNING

TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH, NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED IN THE VEHICLE.

Locks & alarm

INERTIA CUT-OFF SWITCH

This switch is a safety device that automatically unlocks the doors in the event of an accident or sudden impact (provided the starter switch is turned on). In addition, the inertia switch inhibits power to the electric fuel pump, turns off the heating and air conditioning fans, and turns on the hazard warning lights, which continue flashing until either the starter switch is turned off or the inertia switch is reset.

The switch is located behind the verticalpanel in the right hand footwell. Remove the cover by using a coin to rotate the turnbuckle anti-clockwise and then prise the cover off.

When the switch is tripped, the message centre will alternately display; ’REFER HANDBOOK’ and ’INERTIA SWITCH’.

To reset the switch, press the rubber top (arrowed in illustration).

NOTE: The vehicle can be secured even if the

switch has been tripped by removing the starter key, opening and closing one of the front doors and then locking the vehicle.

WARNING

Always check for fuel leaks before resetting the switch!

Locks & alarm

Handset batteries

When the batteries need replacing, the message centre will display ’KEY BATTERY LOW’. To replace:

• Remove the battery cover by turning the

cover anti-clockwise with a coin.

• Taking care not to touch the circuit board,

prise the batteries from the cover and fit new ones (with the positive side facing the cover), and replace the cover.

The batteries should be replaced within 1 minute of removing the old ones, otherwise it may be necessary to re-synchronisethe handset (see ’Handset synchronisation’).New batteries are available from your dealer.

Handset synchronisation

The handset transmits a coded message, which changes each time a button is pressed. If a handset is operated too many times out of range of the vehicle or if the handset batteries are removed for longer than a minute, it may need to be re-synchronised.

To synchronise:

• If the vehicle is locked, press the ’unlock’

button on the handset and then unlock the vehicle using the key.

• If the vehicle is unlocked, press the ’lock’

button on the handset and then lock the vehicle using the key.

NOTE: Handset synchronisation cannot be

achieved if the vehicle alarm is armed or if the handset batteries need replacing.

NOTE: Finger marks on the batteries will

adversely affect battery life. If possible, avoid touching the surface of the batteries, and wipe clean before fitting.

Tailgate

OPENING THE TAILGATE

With the vehicle unlocked, press the release button once to release the upper tailgate.

NOTE: There is a handle built into the lower

edge of the upper tailgate to assist in opening and closing.

With the upper tailgate open, press the release button again to release the lower tailgate, which can then be lowered to the horizontal position.

WARNING

Do not drive with the tailgate open; poisonous carbon monoxide fumes will enter the vehicle which could cause serious injury or death.

CLOSING THE TAILGATE

Raise the lower tailgate first and close firmly. Then lower and close the upper tailgate.

Always check that the tailgate is secure before driving and before leaving the vehicle unattended.

NOTE: The tailgate cannot be opened if the

vehicle battery is flat or disconnected; emergency access to the loadspacecan only be achieved, by folding the rear seats from inside the vehicle, (see ’Seats).

Message centre

Driver warning and information messagesare displayed on the message centre in the lower part of the instrument pack. Messages have different priority levels and are grouped into the following categories.

CRITICAL WARNINGS

Critical warning messages are accompanied by an audible warning (three beeps). Messages are displayed continuously while the starter switch is turned on, and remain displayed while the fault persists.

DO NOT ignore these messages - TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION IMMEDIATELY!

Critical warnings are displayedcontinuously, normally on the lower line of the message centre, but if more than one message is to be displayed, then the upper display line will also be used.
