OWNER’S HANDBOOK

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

For convenience, the handbook is divided into
sections, each dealing with a particular aspect
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. The more
you understand before you drive, the greater
the satisfaction when you are seated behind
the steering wheel.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The specification of each vehicle will vary
according to territorial requirements and
also from model to model within the
vehicle range. Some of the information
published in this handbook therefore,
may not apply to your particular vehicle.

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 warranties can
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 retailer 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 retailer 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 the
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 a procedure which
must be followed precisely 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 roll-over. For important
safety information, be sure to read the
"on-road" and "off-road" driving guidelines
given later in this handbook.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and
certain vehicle components contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

Introduction

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

If you need to communicate with a Land
Rover retailer, 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.

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’s side.

WARNING

DO NOT exceed gross weight or axle loads
described on the vehicle certification
identification label. Exceeding allowable
vehicle and axle loads will increase the risk
of tyre and suspension failure, increase
vehicle brake stopping distance and
adversely affect vehicle handling and
stability which may result in a crash or
rollover.

WARNING:

!

HIGHER RISK OF ROLLOVER

Avoid Abrupt Maneuvers

and Excessive Speed.

Always Buckle Up.

Introduction

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

whilst it may be difficult to deter the
’professional’car thief, the majority of thefts
are carried out by unskilled opportunists.
Therefore, take vehicle security very 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 easilyseen

by householders and passers-by.

• At night, park in well lit areas and avoid

deserted or dimly-lit side streets.

• 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 whilst 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

through the doors facing away from
the traffic, to a safe area away from
the vehicle as a precaution in case
your Range Rover is struck by
another vehicle.

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 retailer.

CAUTION

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

23

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). Whilst 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
retailer. 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 conventionalkey to operate
the starter switch, glovebox and door
locks.

24

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-check five

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 assistanceto 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 or Land Rover North America
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

25

Locks & alarm

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

After locking the vehicle, the RED indicator
light on the top of the fascia, close to the
windscreen (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, whilst 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 necessary to 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

For the reason given above, 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 vehicle can
be unlocked by using the key in the driver’s
door lock.

26

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

1

1

/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 release the ’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 or animals
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 vehicle by
’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.

27

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 mislockand
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 electric seat/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’sseat
memory 1, and key 2 to seat memory 2 (see
’Seats’).

NOTE: If additionalhandset/keyshave 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

AUTO RELOCK

Auto relock ensures that, if the vehicle is
unlocked accidentally,the vehicle will 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
automaticallyreturn 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 whilst the vehicle is
moving.

WARNING

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

INERTIA CUT-OFF SWITCH

This switch is a safety devicethat
automaticallyunlocks 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 vertical panel
in the right hand footwell. Remove the cover
by using a coin to rotate the turnbuckle
anti-clockwiseand 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! Activating the switch when the
fuel system has been damaged (evidenced
by fuel leakage) will cause additional fuel
leakage, increasing the risk of fire or
personal injury.

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-clockwisewith a coin.

• Taking care not to touch the circuit board,

prise the batteries from the cover and fit
new ones (with the positiveside 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-synchronise the
handset (see ’Handset synchronisation’). New
batteries are available from your retailer.

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

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

Seats

FRONT SEATS

Seat adjustment is only possible when the
starter switch is turned to positions ’I’ or ’II’,
or with a front door open when the switch is
at position ’0’.

WARNING

• To avoid injury, ensure that fingers are

kept clear of the seat tracks when
adjusting the seats.

• To avoid the risk of loss of control and

personal injury, DO NOT adjust the
driver’s seat whilst the vehicle is in
motion.

• ENSURE that the adjustable backrests

are not reclined by more than 15 degrees
when the vehicle is in motion.

• An inflating airbag 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.

The following functions are available:

Seat forward & rearward

Push and hold the switch forwards or
backwards to move the seat to the desired
position.

WARNING

Your vehicle is fitted with side impact
airbags, The use of seat covers not
approved for use with Range Rover side
airbags will REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE
EFFECTIVENESS of those airbags in a crash.

42

Seats

Seat cushion height

Push the switch up or down to raise or lower
the cushion.

Seat cushion angle

Twist the switch forward or back to tilt the
front or rear of the seat cushion to the desired
position.

Lumbar support adjustment

Press the upper button to increase, and the
lower button to reduce, lumbar support.

43

Seats

Head restraint adjustment

Raise or lower the switch, until the head
restraint is level with the back of the head.

WARNING

Head restraints are designed to support the
back of the head (NOT THE NECK) and to
restrain rearward movement of the head in
the event of a collision. The restraint must
be positioned level with the head to be
effective. Failure to properly position the
head restraint will increase the potential for
’serious’ injuries.

Do not drive, or carry passengers with the
head restraints removed.

Seat back adjustment

Twist the switch forward or backward, until
the desired seat back angle is achieved.

WARNING

DO NOT allow occupants to travel with the
seat backs reclined steeply rearwards.
Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat
belt, with the seat back angle set to 15
degrees from the upright (vertical) position.
Failure to maintain the correct seat back
angle will reduce the effectiveness of the
seat belts and increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a crash.

44

Folding armrests

An adjustable folding armrest is fitted to the
inboard side of the front seats.

Pull the armrest down into the horizontal
position, then turn the knob at the end of the
armrest to set the desired angle.

DRIVER’S SEAT/MIRRORS MEMORY

FACILITY

CAUTION

Before activating the seat/mirror memory,
ensure that the area immediately
surrounding the seats is clear of
obstructions.

Seats

Your vehicle can memorise two different
driver seating and mirror positions. To store
the positions in the system memory, the
starter switch must be turned to either
position ’I’ or ’II’ and the transmission must
NOT be in reverse gear.

Set the driver’s seat and both door mirrors to
the required positions and store the settings
by pressing and holding the SEAT MEMORY
switch, together with either switch 1 or 2, for
2 seconds. ’MEMORY 1 STORED’ or
’MEMORY 2 STORED’ will be displayedon the
message centre to confirm the storing action.

To recall your stored position, after the seat or
mirrors have been moved by another driver,
press and hold the appropriateswitch (1 or

2); the seat and mirrors will return to the
position stored by that memory switch. Once
they have reached their memory positions, a
tone will sound to confirm that the operation
is complete.

NOTE: If the memory positions are stored

whilst the lights are on, the illumination level
of the instrument panel will also be stored in
the memory.

46

Seats

Driver’s seat one-touch operation

The one-touch function is operated by briefly
pressing the relevant memory switch (1 or 2).
The seat will then automatically move to the
memory position.

’One touch’ operation can be cancelledat any
time by pressing either of the memory
switches or any of the seat axis switches.
Pressing either of the seat memory switches
stops all movement immediately: pressing one
of the axis switches cancels the memory seat
movement, but starts the seat moving in the
direction of the switch which is pressed.
Release the switch to stop all movement.

• Automatic transmission: the one-touch

function is NOT available when the engine
is running and the gearshift lever is out of

’P’ (park).

Key activated memory seats

The key activated memory seat facility enables
the handsets to be used to recall seat and
mirror positions when you UNLOCK the
doors.

If the vehicle had been superlockedusing a
handset, then pressing the UNLOCK BUTTON
on handset 1 for more than 1
causes the driver’s seat and both mirrorsto
move to the position stored by memory
switch 1. Pressing the UNLOCK BUTTON on
handset 2 for more than 1

Seats

REAR SEAT

WARNING

DO NOT adjust any part of a seat whilst the
vehicle is in motion. Vehicle movement may
cause the unlatched seat to suddenly shift,
potentially causing injury.

To avoid injury, ensure your fingers are
clear of the seat latches when folding the
rear seats.

Folding the rear seats

One, or both parts of the split rear seat, can be
either partially folded to provide a useful
horizontal surface, or fully folded to further
increase the rear loadspace. Before folding
either part of the rear seat, ensure that the
outer rear seat belts are correctly stowed in
their belt clips (see illustration). To avoid
damaging the centre seat belt, roll the buckle
neatly and stow it in the space provided at its
anchor point in the centre of the rear seat.

To fold either part of the rear seat, press the
appropriate releasebutton ’A’, then fold the
backrest down to position 1. To further
increase the loadspace, fold the backrest and
seat base together to position 2.

When returning the rear seat to its normal
position, ensure that the backrest is securely
latched in place before driving.

NOTE: If the seat base is not fully latched in

position, it will not be possible to raise the
backrest.

WARNING

When the seat is returned to the upright
position the latching mechanism should be
visually checked and physically tested, to
ensure that the latch is secure before
driving. In a frontal impact, if the rear seat
is not secured (fully latched), it may swing
forward contacting the seat in front of it,
increasing the risk of injury or death to
occupants in those seats.

48

Rear head restraint adjustment

Head restraints are designed to restrain
rearward movement of the head in the event
of a collision.

Lift to raise the head restraint. Depress the
button to lower or remove the head restraint.

Tilt the angle of the restraint to ensure it is as
close to the back of the head as possible.

Seats

Rear seat armrest

Pull on the tab at the top of the armrest and
fold down to the horizontal position.

WARNING

Always adjust the height of the head
restraint level with the back of the head, not
the neck.

DO NOT carry passengers with the head
restraints removed.

Failure to have the head restraint installed
and properly adjusted will increase the
potential for serious injuries.

49

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 airbag supplementary 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 that are to be carried on the
seats - in the event of an accident, loose
items become flying missiles capable of
causing serious injury, or even death.

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 event of a crash.

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

that is twisted or obstructed in any way
that could impede its smooth operation.
If a belt is twisted, it must be
straightened before use. Using a twisted
or obstructed seat belt could increase
the risk of injury in a crash.

• ALWAYS use the seat belt lock (buckle)

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

• DO NOT wear the shoulder belt under

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

50

Seat belts

WEARING SEAT BELTS CORRECTLY

WARNING

Maladjustment of the seat belt could reduce
its effectiveness in a crash, thereby
increasing the risk of serious injury or
death.

Fastening the inertia reel belts

Draw the belt over the shoulder and across
the chest, and then insert the metal tongue
plate into the lock nearest the wearer - a
’CLICK’ indicates that the belt is securely
locked.

In some circumstances, perhaps due to the
vehicle being parked on a slope, the inertia
mechanism may engage, preventing the initial
extension of a belt. This is not a fault - ease
the belt free and use it.

Adjust the seat belt to eliminate any slack in
the webbing. DO NOT slacken the webbing by
holding the belt away from the body - to be
fully effective, the seat belt must remain in full
contact with the body at all times. Also,

ensure that the lap belt fits as low on the
hips as possible and that the shoulder belt
passes across the shoulder without slipping
off or pressing on the neck (see also ’Seating

positions’ in the ’Airbag SRS’ section of this
handbook).

Upper anchorage adjustment

The height of the seat belt upper anchorage
can be adjusted for comfort AND safety. Press
and hold the button (arrowed in upper
illustration)to raise or lower the anchorage.
For safety, the seat belt should always be
worn with the webbing crossing the shoulder
midway between the neck and the edge of the
shoulder.

Ensure that the anchorage is correctlylocated
in one of the height positions before driving.

For children and young adults where the seat
belt cannot be properly positioned, the use of
a booster seat appropriate to the age and size
of the child is recommended.

51

Seat belts

Lap belts

The rear central seating position is fitted with
a lap belt. To adjust, pull the slider (arrowed in
illustration)along the belt and feed the
webbing through the buckle until the belt is
comfortably tight. Insert the metal tongue
plate into the lock nearest the centre of the
seat, and fit as low as possible on the hips
(never on the abdomen).

Wearing seat belts during

pregnancy

The seat belts have been designed for all
adults, including pregnant women. In a crash
situation any occupant is less likely to be
injured whilst correctly restrained by a seat
belt. However, pregnant women should wear
the lap belt as low on the hips as possible to
avoid pressure on the abdomen.

Women should consult their doctor to
establish the best use of seat belts during
pregnancy.

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 seats in 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 passes across the shoulder without
slipping off or pressing on the neck.

• DO NOT travel with the seat backs

reclined steeply rearward. Optimum
benefit is obtained when the seat is
reclined no more than 15 degrees from
the upright (vertical) position. A steeply
reclined seat could allow a passenger to
slip under either the shoulder or the lap
belt.

• DO NOT wear the shoulder belt under

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

Seat belts

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS

The seat belt pre-tensioners activate in
conjunction with the airbag SRS and provide
additional protection in the event of a severe
frontal impact on the vehicle (see ’Airbag
SRS’). The pre-tensioners automatically
retract the seat belts fitted to the front seats.
This reduces any slack in both the lap and
diagonal portions of the belts, thereby
reducing forward movement of the belt wearer
in the event of a severe frontal collision.

The airbag SRS warning light on the
instrument panel will alert you to any
malfunction of the seat belt pre-tensioners.

If the pre-tensioners have been activated, the
seat belts will still function as restraints,and
must be worn in the event that the vehicle
remains in a driveable condition.

NOTE: The seat belt pre-tensioners will NOT

be activated by rear, side or minor frontal
impacts.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The seat belt pre-tensioners will only be
activated once and then MUST BE
REPLACED. Failure to replace the
pre-tensionerswill reduce the
effectivenessof the vehicle’s restraint
systems.

After any frontal impact, the seat belts
and pre-tensioners must be checked and,
if necessary, replaced.

In the interests of safety, it is
recommended that removal or
replacement of the front seats, seat belts
and pre-tensioners should only be carried
out by qualified personnel with the use of
factory specified parts.

Disposing of vehicles

If you sell your vehicle,be sure to inform
the new owner that the vehicle is fitted
with pre-tensioners.

If your vehicle is to be scrapped,
unactivated pre-tensionersare potentially
very dangerous and must be safely
deployed in a controlled environment by
qualified personnel, before a vehicle is
scrapped.

CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR SMALL CHILDREN

AND BABIES

The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are
designed for adults and larger children. For
their safety, it is very important that all infants
and young children are restrained in child
safety seats appropriate to their age and/or
size.

All infant and child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in vehicleseats by
means of a lap belt or the lap portion of a
lap/shoulder belt. Always ensure that the
manufacturer’sfitting instructions are
followed exactly.

Accident statistics show that children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front.

WARNING

• Children under the age of 12 should

always be transported in the rear seats,
and be properly restrained in appropriate
child restraints.

• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A

REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT BE
INSTALLED IN ANY FRONT PASSENGER
SEAT POSITION. If the passenger airbag
inflates, it could impact with the child
restraint, causing serious injury or
death.

• Children could be endangered in a crash

if their child restraints are not properly
secured in the vehicle.

• 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 hold on to the child.

• Young adults and 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 a crash.

• DO NOT use a child seat that hooks over

the seat back. This type of seat cannot
be satisfactorily secured, and is unlikely
to be safe for your child.

• Never leave a child unattended in your

vehicle.

54

Seat belts

Tether straps

For child seats designed to use a top tether
strap, your Range Rover is equipped with
three tether strap anchorages, located over
the tailgate (as illustrated). These anchorages
are designed to only be used for tether
compatible child restraint systems, fitted in
the three rear seating positions.

Tether strap installation:

1. Verify that the child seat is equipped with

or appropriate for use with top tether
straps. If in doubt, consult the child seat
manufacturer for confirmation.

2. Remove the appropriate tether strap
anchorage cover.

3. Attach the tether strap to the child seat,
following the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions.

4. Install the child seat using the vehicle seat
belt as per the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions.

5. Route the tether strap over the seat back,
under the headrest.

6. Attach the hook to the appropriate tether
strap anchorage point (the one directly
behind the child seat).

7. Tension the tether strap to the child seat
manufacturer’sinstructions.

NOTE: The front and outside rear passenger

seat belts are fitted with a locking mechanism,
to further secure a child seat - see ’Seat belt
locking mechanism’.

WARNING

ALWAYS follow the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions when installing
a tether strap.

55

Seat belts

Seat belt locking mechanism

The seat belts fitted to the front passenger
seat and two outer rear seats, have a special
locking mechanism, which aids the securing
of child restraint systems. The mechanism
used to secure a child restraintis operated as
follows:

1. Attach the seat belt to the child restraint in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.

2. Insert the metal tongue of the seat belt
into the lock ensuring that it engages with
a ’click’.

3. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt
until it is fully extended.

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

5. Remove slack from the mechanism, by
pulling upwards on the shoulder belt,
immediately above the child restraint.

6. Evaluate the tightness of the installationby
rocking the child seat back and forth to
ensure that it is tight and stable.

7. If the child seat needs to be tightened
further, remove the metal tongue of the
seat belt from the buckle and feed some of
the shoulder belt back into the reel (thus
making the belt shorter). Then reattachthe
metal tongue into the buckle (if done
properly it will require some effort).

8. Re-evaluatethe tightness of the system. If
the child seat is too loose, repeat the
above procedure making the belt
incrementallyshorter(and therefore
tighter). It may be necessary to put your
weight onto the seat (to compress the seat
cover) to be able to fasten the belt.

To turn off the child restraint seat belt locking
feature, allow the seat belt to fully retract.

The centre rear seating position is fitted with a
lap belt which can be manually tightened to
secure the infant or child restraintsystem.
Older children should use the lap/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 using warm water
and non-detergent soap only - allow to
dry naturally and DO NOT retract or use
the belts until 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 the following
tests:

1. With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.

2. With the webbing half unreeled, hold the
tongue plate and give it a quick forward
pull. The mechanism must lock
automaticallyand prevent any 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 from snatchesand
snags.

If a seat belt should fail any of these tests,
contact your retailer immediately.

PO421

SRS/Airbag

This Range Rover is equipped with an airbag
SRS (supplementary restraint system) that
incorporates front and side airbags and a
lap/shoulder belt with pre-tensioners (see
’Seat belts’) at both the driver and front seat
passenger positions.

WARNING

The SRS/Airbags are a supplementary
restraint system that provides ADDITIONAL
protection in certain types of front and side
impact collisions only - they DO NOT replace
the need to wear a seat belt. To minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash, all occupants in all seating
positions including the driver should always
use their seat belt (regardless of whether an
airbag is included at that seating position).

Provided the front seat occupants are
correctly seated with seat belts properly worn,
the airbags are a supplementary restraint
system that provides additional protection to
the chest and facial areas in the event of the
vehicle receivinga severe frontal impact, and
to the side of the body facing the impact, if a
severe side collision occurs.

The front airbags are located in the centre pad
of the steering wheel and in the fascia panel
above the glovebox. Side airbags are
positioned in the backrest padding on the
outward side of both front seats (see
illustration).

58

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 airbag will only provide additional

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

• Inflation and deflation take place

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

WARNING

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

An inflating airbag can cause facial
abrasions and other injuries. The injurious
effects 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 or any 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 contact with, or close to, an airbag
module whilst the vehicle is moving.

Activation of an airbag creates dust, causing
possible breathing difficulties for asthma
sufferers 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.

59

SRS/Airbag

To ensure correct deployment of the airbags,
it is essential that obstructions are not allowed
to intervene between an airbag and the
occupant. The following are examples of the
type of obstructions that could either, impede
correct operation of the airbags, or jeopardise
personal safety in the event of an airbag
deployment:

• Accessoriesattachedto an airbag cover.

• Items of hand luggage or other objects

placed on an airbag cover.

• Feet, knees or any other part of the

anatomy in contact with, or in close
proximity to, a front airbag cover.

• Head, arms or any part of the anatomy in

contact with, or in close proximity to, a
side airbag.

• Items of clothing or cushions draped over

the part of a front seat containing the
airbag.

• The use of seat covers that are not

approved for seats equipped with side
airbags will REDUCE or ELIMINATE the
effectivenessof the side airbags in the
event of a crash (in particular,be aware
that seat covers approved for use with
Range Rover vehicles prior to the
introduction of side airbags will NOT be
suitable for vehicles equipped with side
airbags! If in doubt, seek advice from a
Land Rover retailer).

How the airbag SRS works

In the event of a collision, the airbag control
unit monitors the rate of deceleration induced
by the collision to determine whether the
airbags should be deployed.

In the case of a severe frontal collision, both
front airbags will be deployed. In the case of a
severe side collision, only the airbag on the
impact side of the vehicle will inflate.
However, there may also be impact conditions
whereby one side and both front airbags
deploy at the same time, or where front and
side airbags respond separately as a result of
a secondary impact occurring after the initial
collision has taken place.

P0405

60

SRS/Airbag

P0406

Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and
occurs with considerable force accompanied
by a loud noise. The inflated airbag, together
with the seat belt restraint system, limit the
occupant’s movement, thereby reducing the
risk of injury to the head and upper torso.

When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is
released. This is not an indicationof a
malfunction, however the powder may cause
irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly
flushed from the eyes and any cuts or
abrasions of the skin. After inflation, an airbag
deflates immediately. This provides a gradual
cushioning effect for the occupant and also
ensures that the driver’s forward vision is not
impaired.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The airbag SRS is not designed to
operate as a result of rear collisions,
minor frontal or minor side impacts, or if
the vehicle overturns; nor will it operate
as a result of heavy braking or driving
over bumps and potholes.

Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent
entirely on the acceleration or
decelerationforces that are applied to the
vehicle’spassengercompartmentas a
result of a collision. The circumstances
affecting different collisions (vehicle
speed, angle of impact, type and size of
object hit for example), vary considerably
and will affect the rate of acceleration or
decelerationaccordingly.

It follows, therefore, that in some
instances, significant superficialdamage
can occur to the vehiclewithout the
airbags deploying and, conversely, that in
other circumstances, the airbags will
deploy even though the vehiclehas
experiencedrelativelysmallamounts of
damage. However, if as a result of an
impact, you suspect that the airbags
should have deployed and have failed to
do so, please call
advice or to arrange for a Land Rover
representativeto inspect the vehicle to
verify that the airbag/SRS system
operated correctly.

1 [phone] for

WARNING

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

61

SRS/Airbag

Side airbags

Side airbags are designed to protect the
thorax region of the torso and will only deploy
in the event of a severe side impact. They will
NOT inflate as a result of frontal or rear
impacts.

In the event of a severe side collision, the
airbag on the impact side of the vehicle breaks
through the seat covering, rapidly inflating to
form a cushion between the occupant and the
side of the vehicle.

Note that a part of the outer side of the seat
trim (identified by the woven ’airbag’label)is
manufactured with a specially constructed
seam which enables the airbag to break
through. The manufacture and materials of the
seat are critical to the performance of the
airbag. For this reason, non-approved seat
covers must NEVER be fitted, and it is
recommended that any repair or replacement
to the front seats be carried out by a Land
Rover retailer (see ’Service information’).

Airbag SRS warning light

Whenever the starter switch is turned to
position ’II’, the diagnostic control unit
monitors the readiness of the system’s
electricalcircuits.The elements of the system
being monitored include:

• SRS warning light

• Rotary coupler

• Airbag modules

• Seatbelt pre-tensioners

• Airbag diagnostic control unit

• Front crash sensors

• Airbag wiring harnesses

A warning light, mounted on the instrument
pack, will alert you to any malfunction which
might prevent the airbag SRS from operating
correctly in the event of an impact. The
system should always be checked by a retailer
if any of the following symptoms occur:

• The warning light fails to illuminate when

the starter switch is turned to position ’II’.

• The warning light fails to extinguish within

approximatelyfive seconds after the
starter switch is turned to position ’II’.

• The warning light illuminates whilst the

vehicle is being driven.

NOTE: After the starter switch is turned to

position ’II’, the system’s diagnostic control
unit checks its own memory and the warning
light bulb for faults. If a fault is found, the
warning light will illuminate.

Seating positions

In order to provide optimum protection in the
event of a severe vehicle impact, it is
necessaryfor the airbags to deploy with
considerablespeed.

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions
and other injuries if the occupant is too close
to the airbag at the time of its deployment.

WARNING

To minimise the 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 also ensure that a gap is maintained
between the upper torso and the side of the
vehicle to enable unobstructed inflation of
the side airbags.

62

SRS/Airbag

CHILD SEATS

Children aged 12 years and under are more
likely to receive injuries from inflating airbags
than adult occupants. For this reason, it is
recommended that children should always be
seated in the rear of the vehicle in a child
safety seat or restraint system appropriate to
their age and size (see ’Seat belts’).

However, if it is necessary for a child to travel
in the front, set the seat fully rearwards 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 or death 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

Certain components of the SRS/airbag must
be replaced by a Land Rover retailer after 10
years for front airbags, and 15 years for side
airbags from the date of manufacture (shown
on the certification plate attached to the lock
face of the front left-hand door).

In addition, ALWAYS contact your retailerif:

• an airbag inflates.

• the front or side of the vehicle is damaged,

even if the corresponding airbag has not
inflated.

• any part of an airbag module cover shows

signs of deterioration or 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.

63

SRS/Airbag

WARNING

The components that make up the
SRS/airbag are sensitive to electrical or
physical interference, either of which could
easily damage the system and cause
inadvertent operation or a malfunction of the
airbag module.
To prevent any SRS/airbag malfunction,
ALWAYS consult a Land Rover retailer
before fitting any of the following.

• Electronic equipment such as a mobile

phone, two-way radio or in-car
entertainment system.

• Accessories attached to the front or side

of the vehicle such as a winch or
brushbar.

• Any modification to the front or side of

the vehicle including the bumper or
chassis.

• Any modification involving the removal

or repair of any wiring or component in
the vicinity of any of the SRS
components (yellow wiring harness),
including: the steering wheel, steering
column, front seats, instrument and
fascia panels.

• Any modification to the fascia panels,

steering wheel or front seats.

Disposing of vehicles

If you sell your vehicle,be sure to inform the
new owner that the vehiclehas an airbag SRS,
and make the new owner aware that certain
components of the system will need renewing
after either 10 years (front airbag) or 15 years
(side airbag).

If the vehicle is to be scrapped: uninflated
airbags are potentially very dangerous and
must be safely deployed in a controlled
environment by qualified personnel BEFORE a
vehicle is scrapped.

WARNING

Only use Land Rover approved seat covers
for use with seats fitted with side airbag
modules. The use of non-approved seat
covers will REDUCE the effectiveness of the
side airbags in the event of a crash
condition.

serious fault exists. If a red warning light
illuminates, always stop the vehicle and
review the specific instructions relating to
that warning light contained in this
section of the manual.

Parking brake/brake system ­RED.

Illuminates for 3 seconds as a
bulb check when the starterswitch is turned
to position ’II’ and also illuminates when the
parking brake is applied and the starter switch
is in position ’II’.

The light should extinguish when the parking
brake is fully released or after the bulb check if
the parking brake is off. If the light illuminates
whilst driving, a fault is indicated.Stop the
vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek
qualified assistancebefore continuing.

In-Car Telephones

NOTE: Refrain from operating a telephone

fitted with its own aerialinside the vehicle (see
main text).

Your vehicle utilises a number of electronic
systems designed to provide you with
maximum comfort, safety and economy.
These systems may be affected by the use of
mobile communication equipment inside the
vehicle. However, the use of an external aerial
will greatly reduce the likelihood of this
occurrence.

For your safety, always note the following
precautions before fitting or using an in-car
telephone, or any mobile communication
equipment.

• Only use an installation kit incorporating

an aerial external to the vehicle.

• Ensure that the installation is carried out

by a competent installer.

• Refrain from operating a mobile phone

fitted with its own aerialinside the vehicle

- the electromagnetic field radiated by the
phone may interfere with the vehicle’s
electricalsystems.

CAUTION

For your safety and that of others, using any
hand-held appliance whilst driving can be
dangerous. Always stop the vehicle before
making a call and ensure the telephone is
switched off whilst you are driving.

Land Rover HomeLink®

HOMELINK TRANSMITTER*

The Land Rover HomeLink Universal
Transmitter provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This innovative
feature will learn the radio frequency codes of
most current transmitters to operate garage
doors and gates. With the availableaccessory
package, the HomeLink Transmitter can also
control home or office lighting and security
systems. For reliability, the HomeLink
Transmitter is powered by your vehicle’s
battery and charging system.

Precautions

WARNING

Do not use this HomeLink Transmitter with
any garage door that lacks safety ’stop’ and
’reverse’ features, as required by federal
safety standard (this includes any garage or
door opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which
cannot ’detect’ an object in the path of a
closing door and then automatically ’stop’
and ’reverse’ the door, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these features
increase the risk of serious injury or death.
For more information on this matter, call
toll-free: 1-800-355-3515.

CAUTION

When programming your HomeLink
Transmitter, you will be operating the
garage door or gate. Be sure that people
and objects are out of the way, to prevent
potential harm or damage.

H4062

If after repeated attempts you do not
successfullyprogram the HomeLink
Transmitter to learn the signal of the
hand-held transmitter, call toll-free for
customer assistance: 1-800-355-3515.

1. If you have previously programmed your

HomeLink Transmitter, proceed to step 2.
Otherwise, hold down the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink Transmitteruntil
the red light begins to flash. Release both
buttons.

2. Decide which one of the three channels

you want to program.

4. Using both hands, push the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button
on the HomeLink Transmitter. Continue to
press both buttons through step 5.

5. Hold down both buttons until you see the
red light on the Land Rover HomeLink
Transmitter flash, first slowly and then
rapidly. It indicates that you have
successfullyprogrammedthe HomeLink
Transmitter to learn the new frequency
signal. Release both buttons once the
rapid flashing begins.

Operating the Land Rover HomeLink

Transmitter

Once it is programmed, the HomeLink
Transmitter can be used in place of your
hand-held transmitter(s).To operate, simply
press the appropriate button on the HomeLink
Transmitter. The red light comes on while the
signal is being transmitted.

NOTE: If your hand-held transmitter appears

to program the HomeLink Transmitter, but
does not open your garage door and, if your
garage door was manufactured after 1995,
your garage door opener may have a ’code
protected’ or ’rolling code’ feature.

A ’rolling code’ type of system will change the
’code’ of your garage door opener every time

you open or close your garage door.
To determine if you have one of these

systems, depress the button on your
HomeLink Transmitter that you programmed.
If the red light on the HomeLink Transmitter
flashes rapidly for 1-2 seconds, then turns
solid, your garage door opener has a rolling
code system.

Training a garage door opener equipped

with ’rolling codes’

To train your ’rolling code’ garage door
opener to operate from your HomeLink
Transmitter, follow these steps:

1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the
HomeLink Transmitter by following the
procedures outlined in ’Programming’, (if
you already completed this programming,
proceed to the next instruction).

2. Train your garage door opener receiver to
recognize your HomeLink Transmitter:
(your garage door opener receiver will
learn to recognize the HomeLink
Transmitter by following the same process
used to train the hand-held transmitter)
a) Remove the cover panel from your
garage door opener receiver (the receiver
should be located by the garage door
motor).
b) Locate the training button on the
garage door opener receiver. The exact
location and colour of the button may vary
by garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty locating the training button,
reference your garage door opener
manual, or call 1-800-355-3515.
c) Press the training button on the garage
door opener receiver for 1-2 seconds.
d) Return to the HomeLink Transmitter in
the vehicle and depress the programmed
HomeLink Transmitter button for the
duration of the rapid flash of the
HomeLink’s red light, (1-2 seconds).
Release the button and depress the button
to confirm that the HomeLink Transmitter
has been trained to the receiver.
