Owner’s Handbook

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

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

IMPORTANT

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.

Land Rover operates a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without notice at any time. Whilst every effort is made to ensure complete accuracy of the information in this handbook, no liabilities for inaccuracies or the consequences thereof can be accepted by the manufacturer or the retailer, except in respect of personal injury caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the retailer.

Introduction

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.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

BEFORE YOU DRIVE

Your Range Rover has a higher ground clearance and hence, a higher center 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.

AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE

To contact NHTSA, you may either 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.

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. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

The vehicle 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 manoeuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the Range Rover correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. For important safety information, be sure to read the ‘On-Road’ and ‘Off-Road’ driving guidelines given later in this handbook.

Introduction

PASSPORT TO SERVICE

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 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 easily seen

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.

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:

• Wherever possible, consistent with

road 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 motorway, pull well over to the inside of the hard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position a 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 traffic, to a safe area away from the vehicle as a precaution in case your Range Rover is accidentally struck by another vehicle.

KEYS AND HANDSETS

You have been supplied with two remote handsets with integral keys which operate all locks and an emergency key, designed to fit into a wallet or purse. The emergency key can be used to open the doors only and has no remote functionality.

NOTE: The emergency key should not be used for extended periods of time.

The keys supplied with your vehicle are programmed to your security system - they CANNOT be re-programmed and the engine cannot be started without a key programmed to your vehicle. If a key is lost or broken, a replacement can only be obtained from a Land Rover retailer.

NOTE: Land Rover retailers do not stock spare keys, time has to be allowed for replacements to be programmed to your security system and then delivered to the retailer.

If you lose a key, contact your Land Rover retailer; a key reported lost will be deactivated. If the key is recovered, your retailer can have it reactivated.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The handset complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful

interference.

• This device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This applies to both alarm receivers and handset transmitters.

Any changes or modifications to the handset not expressly approved by the manufacturer or Land Rover North America could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Transmitter FCC ID: N5FVALTX3 Receiver FCC ID: N5VALTR3

NOTE: Keep the Security card, emergency key and spare handset key in a safe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE!

Locks & Alarm

ALARM SYSTEM

H4274

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. There are also a number of additional security features, some of which are selectable options and some are standard features of the vehicle. In order to ensure maximum security and operating convenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the features and alternatives available, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.

Using the remote handset

H4273

While it is not necessary to point the handset at the vehicle, the handset must be within range of the vehicle when a button is pressed. Note that the operating range may vary depending upon handset battery condition and may sometimes be limited by physical and geographical factors beyond your control. From a security point of view, it may not be wise to unlock unless you are in close proximity to the vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY ALWAYS SUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE (except when passengers are to be left inside, in which case they must lock the vehicle using the interior locking switch). If it is necessary to leave a window or sunroof open, lock the vehicle by pressing the lock button (or turning the key) twice.

Locks & Alarm

Handset buttons

The three buttons on the handset are used as follows:

1. Lock button: Press to superlock all doors

and to activate the perimetric alarm and interior space protection and activate the tilt sensor (see ‘Superlocking’, page 26 and ‘Tilt Sensor’, page 26).

Press twice to superlock all doors and activate the perimetric alarm, but NOT activate interior space protection and tilt sensor.

Press and hold to activate the convenience locking facility (see ‘Convenience locking/unlocking*’, page 30).

2. Unlock button: Press once to disarm the

alarm and unlock the driver’s door. Press again to unlock the remaining doors (see ‘Single point entry’, page 27).

Press once to activate the memory seats, mirrors and steering column settings (see

‘DRIVER’S SEAT MEMORY FACILITY*’, page 41). This will also activate the

convenience unlocking facility (see

‘Convenience locking/unlocking*’, page 30).

3. Tailgate button: Press to unlock the

tailgate and to disarm the interior space protection. All other apertures remain locked and the perimetric protection on the other apertures remains armed.

Press and hold to activate the panic

alarm

4. Handset indicator light: Flashes once for

each press of any handset button, as confirmation of operation.

Locking

Shut all doors, hood and tailgate, then press the lock (Land Rover) button once or turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards the rear of the vehicle once:

• all doors are superlocked (see

‘Superlocking’, page 26)

• engine immobilised

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, hood and taildoor)

• interior space protection activated

• tilt sensor activated

The direction indicator lights flash once and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (below the rear-view mirror) starts to flash to confirm that the vehicle is secure.

Locks & Alarm

Unlocking with the remote handset

• Press the unlock (arrow) button once to

disarm the alarm and unlock the driver's door only (see ‘Single point entry’, page 27).

• Press the unlock button twice to disarm the

alarm and unlock ALL the doors.

In either case, the interior lights illuminate and the direction indicators flash twice.

Unlocking with the key

After a handset lock:

Turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards the front of the vehicle to unlock the driver’s door - the alarm will sound when the door is opened. Unlocking the door using the key will not disarm the alarm - press the unlock button on the handset, or turn the starter switch to position ‘II’, to disarm the alarm.

After a key lock: Turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards the front of the vehicle to unlock the driver’s door and disarm the alarm. Turn the key a second time to unlock the other doors.

Superlocking

WARNING

For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if passengers are to remain inside the vehicle in an emergency they would not be able to escape. Also, any movement from within the vehicle would activate the alarm, if interior space protection has been activated.

Superlocking immobilises the interior door handles, thereby preventing an intruder from gaining entry by smashing a window and reaching inside the vehicle to operate the door handles.

If superlocking is required, but NOT interior space protection, press the lock button twice within 10 seconds (or turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle twice within the same time period).

Tilt Sensor

Your vehicle is fitted with a tilt sensor which activates the alarm if the vehicle is tilted fore and aft, or side to side, after it has been superlocked.

The alarm will sound if theft is attempted by hoisting onto another vehicle or if a side is lifted to attempt wheel removal.

If you wish to have the doors locked but the tilt sensor disabled (eg. when aboard a ferry or having the vehicle transported on a recovery truck) press the lock button twice within 10 seconds (or turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards the rear of the vehicle twice within 10 seconds).

Partial arming

If the driver’s door is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, all closed doors will lock, but the driver’s door will not. If the driver’s door is subsequently closed, the locking procedure must be repeated to lock the driver’s door.

Superlocking is activated automatically whenever the vehicle is locked using either the handset or the key.

If a passenger door or other aperture is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the ‘partial arming’ attributes of the security system will enable as much of the system to be armed as possible (all fully closed door, hood or tailgate apertures will be protected, but an open door will not!). As soon as the open aperture is closed, the system will automatically revert to an armed state, with interior space protection activating 30 seconds after all apertures are closed.

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

H3920

The light provides information about the status of the alarm system, as follows:

When the alarm is armed: The light flashes at a slow frequency and continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.

If interior space protection is disabled when the alarm is armed (by a double operation of the lock button or key), the light will illuminate constantly for 1 second as confirmation.

When the alarm is partially armed (mislock): The light flashes rapidly for 10 seconds, then flashes at a slower rate as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.

If the alarm has been triggered:

When the alarm is triggered, the light flashes rapidly for 5 minutes, before returning to a slow frequency.

If the light flashes rapidly after the vehicle is unlocked, this indicates that the alarm has been triggered during the driver’s absence. The light will flash rapidly for 10 seconds.

If the alarm sounds

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm will sound for 30 seconds and the hazard warning lights will flash for 5 minutes, before switching off and resetting itself to the same protection status that existed prior to the alarm being triggered.

To silence the alarm, press the unlock button on the remote handset.

Single point entry

This is a personal security feature, which enables the driver's door only to be unlocked, leaving the other doors in a locked state. It can be operated by the remote handset as follows:

• press the unlock button once to unlock the

driver's door (or turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards the front of the vehicle, if the vehicle was locked using the key).

• press the unlock button (or turn the key) a

second time to unlock the remaining doors.

When the vehicle is unlocked using single point entry, if the interior locking button is then pressed, the driver’s door will relock. A second press is required to unlock all the doors.

Single point entry can be disabled or

enabled on all handset keys, or on individual handset keys, by a Land Rover retailer.

Locks & Alarm

Interior locking switch

H3969

This is a personal security feature which allows the driver to lock (or unlock) all the doors from inside the vehicle (while driving or with the vehicle stationary). Press the switch to lock (the alarm will not be armed) or unlock.

Interior door handles and door sill locking buttons

H3976

From inside the vehicle, each door can be individually locked by depressing the appropriate door sill button. However, doors cannot be unlocked by raising the sill button.

Use the door handles to unlock, as follows:

• First operation of the door handle unlocks

the door.

• Second operation of the door handle opens

the door.

When the interior locking switch is activated, all door locking buttons will be depressed automatically.

Locks & Alarm

Interior space protection

Interior space protection is activated whenever the alarm is armed.

CAUTION: Never activate interior space protection if windows or sunroof are to be left open, or if passengers or animals are to be left inside the vehicle - any movement will activate the alarm.

H3802

Interior space protection is designed to protect the interior of the vehicle from intrusion (entry by a thief through a smashed window, for example). A pair of sensors monitors the interior space and activate the alarm if air movement is detected in the passenger compartment.

NOTE: Interior space protection cannot be activated if a door is open.

Disabling interior space protection:

If there is a requirement to disable interior space protection (if a window or sunroof is to be left open, for example), press the lock button twice within 10 seconds. If locking with the key, turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards the rear of the vehicle twice within 10 seconds.

Speed-related locking

This security feature locks all the doors automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h).

Note speed-related locking is not selectable by the driver, and that operation of the door locks by any other means (interior locking switch on the facia panel, for example) will unlock the doors. Speed related locking can be configured by your retailer to automatically relock the doors after they are unlocked, when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h).

Speed related locking can be selected,

deselected or reconfigured for individual handset keys, by a Land Rover retailer.

Automatic relock

If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote, but no door or tailgate is opened after 2 minutes, the vehicle will relock (but not superlock), but the alarm will not be re-armed.

Automatic relock can be selected or

deselected by a Land Rover retailer.

Panic alarm

If the tailgate button on the remote handset (see ‘Using the remote handset’, page 24) is pressed and held, the alarm will sound and the hazard warning lights will flash (market permitting). This feature is to draw attention to the vehicle and driver, to deter potential thieves/attackers.

The panic alarm facility can be selected or

deselected by a Land Rover retailer.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION

Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the security system, it is designed to safeguard the vehicle from theft, should the driver forget to lock the doors and prevents the engine from being started unless the GENUINE handset key or emergency key is inserted into the starter switch. Engine immobilisation is automatic whenever any of the following conditions occur.

• The vehicle is locked using handset or key.

• Three seconds after the starter switch has

been turned off AND the driver's door opened.

• If the key is removed from the starter

switch.

NOTE: The engine will be re-mobilised automatically whenever the genuine handset key is inserted into the starter switch and turned to position ‘I’.

Locks & Alarm

REMOTE HANDSET BATTERY

CAUTION: The handset contains delicate

electronic circuits and must be protected from impact and water damage, high temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight and the effects of solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.

The battery should last for approximately three years dependent upon use. When the battery needs replacing it will be apparent from the following symptoms:

• ‘KEY BATTERY LOW’ will be displayed in the

main message center.

• A gradual deterioration in range and

performance.

Always fit a Panasonic CR2016 replacement battery (available from a Land Rover retailer).

Battery replacement

1. With the handset face down, insert the

blade of a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the rear of the handset and prise the screw cover upwards.

2. Remove the two screws and carefully

remove the back of the handset.

3. Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to

prise the battery from its mounting (see illustration), taking care to avoid touching the circuit board or the metal battery contacts.

4. Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct

polarity is maintained (‘+’ side facing up). Finger marks will adversely affect battery life; if possible, avoid touching the flat surfaces of the battery and wipe them clean before fitting.

Seats

SITTING CORRECTLY

Seats

POWER OPERATED FRONT SEATS

max. 30

H4691

The seats, head restraints, seat belts and airbags all contribute to the protection of the occupants. Optimal use of these components will give you more protection. Therefore, observe the following points:

• Sit in the most upright position with the

base of your spine as far back as possible and the backrest not reclined more than 30 degrees.

• Adjust the head restraints so that the top of

the head restraint is level with the upper portion of the head.

• Do not move the front seat too close to the

instrument panel. The driver should hold the steering wheel with slightly bent arms. The legs should also be slightly bent so that the pedals can be pressed to the floor.

• The seat belt should rest in the center of the

shoulder. The lap part should fit tightly across the hips and not on the stomach.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of loss of control and personal injury, DO NOT adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion.

The seat adjustment controls are situated on the outboard side of the seat plinth.

The driver and front passenger seats should be positioned as far rearward as practical. Ideally the seat should be positioned so that the steering wheel can be held with the arms slightly bent and the seat back in a nearly upright position.

Make sure your driving position is comfortable and enables you to maintain full control of the vehicle. A properly adjusted seat helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to an inflating airbag.

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

H3842

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

WARNING

DO NOT travel with the seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the seat back set to an angle of not more than 30 degrees from the upright (vertical).

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.

Seats
