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.

requirements for your vehicle and also includes
the service record slips, which the retailer
should sign and stamp to certify the routine
services have been carried out.

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.

Locks & Alarm
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!

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

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.

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.
26
Locks & Alarm
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 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.

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.
