Rover 2005 Owner Manual

OWNER’S HANDBOOK

Publication Part No. LRL 21 02 54 501

Introduction

This handbook covers all current versions of the Range Rover Sport petrol and diesel models and, together with the other books in your literature pack, provides all the information that you 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 different aspect of 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 Sport 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.

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.

To include changes made after the handbook is printed, it is sometimes necessary to issue one or more handbook supplements. When reading this handbook, check the literature pack for possible supplements.

Any further updates will be posted on the Land Rover internet site and can be accessed at

www.landrover.com in the Owner Information area.

* An asterisk appearing within the handbook text identifies features or items of equipment that

are either optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range.

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 dealer, except in respect of personal injury caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.

Quick Overview

AUTOMATIC MIRROR DIPPING

If your vehicle is fitted with the driver’s seat memory option, the door mirrors may dip when reverse gear is selected. This gives the driver a view of the kerbside to aid vehicle positioning when reversing.

The feature is optional and can be adjusted by the user.

For more detailed information on automatic mirror dipping, see Automatic mirror

dipping*, 76.

RESONANCE WITH LOWERED WINDOWS

If a resonance/booming sound occurs with only the rear windows open, lowering a front window about 25 mm (1 inch) will eliminate the condition. This will change the frequency of the air volume moving in/out of the vehicle and thus lessen or remove the booming sound.

AIRBAG DISABLING

The airbag directly ahead of the front passenger seat can be disabled. Although the recommended and safest position for a child seat is in the rear seats, the front passenger seat is an optional position.

H6033L

From the passenger side of the car, open the front door and insert the starter key into the airbag disabling switch. Turn to the ‘OFF’ position.

For more detailed information on airbag disabling, see PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLING SWITCH, 66.

Quick Overview

VOICE RECOGNITION*

Voice control provides a safe and convenient way of operating the audio system without the need to operate the controls manually. This enables you to concentrate fully on driving the vehicle, and removes the need to divert your attention from the road ahead in order to change settings, or receive feedback from the system.

A number of voice commands are available, and with a little experience you will find them easy and convenient to use. Whenever you issue one of the defined commands with the system active, the voice control system converts your command into a control signal for the audio system. Your inputs take the form of dialogues or commands. You are guided through these dialogues by announcements or questions.

Activating the system

To activate voice control:

• Briefly pull the control paddle (your Audio will mute at this point). A brief acoustic signal will be heard, and ‘LISTENING’ will be displayed on the main message centre to indicate that the system is now waiting for a voice command.

Note: It is only necessary to use the steering wheel voice control paddle at the beginning of each voice session.

Defined voice commands

The voice control system understands predefined commands which need to be quoted word for word.

An audio feedback of voice commands is available. To activate the feedback, pull the voice control paddle briefly and give one of the following commands:

General commands

• Voice help: To list all commands.

• Notepad Help: To list Notepad commands.

Audio commands

• Radio help: To list Radio commands.

• CD help: To list CD commands.

Please refer to the Audio System Handbook for full operating instructions.

TYRE PRESSURES

Air pressure naturally increases in warm tyres (after the vehicle has been driven for a while). If you have to check warm tyres, you should expect the pressures to have increased by between 30 and 40 kPa (0.3 to 0.4 bar) (4 to 6

). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out

lbf/in of the tyres in order to match the recommended pressures.

Loading condition kPa bar lbf/in

Normal operating conditions Front 230 2.3 34

Rear 250 2.5 36

Vehicle loaded to maximum gross vehicle weight Front 260 2.6 38

Rear 290 2.9 42

Temporary spare wheel (All operating conditions) 420 4.2 60

General Information

HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS

WARNING

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance and, hence, a higher centre of gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This will result in different handling characteristics. Inexperienced drivers should take additional care, particularly in off-road driving situations and when performing abrupt manoeuvres on unstable surfaces.

SYMBOLS

The following symbols used within the handbook call your attention to specific types of information.

This recycling symbol identifies those items that must be disposed of safely in order to prevent unnecessary damage

to the environment.

This symbol identifies those features that can be adjusted or disabled/enabled by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

WARNINGS IN THIS HANDBOOK

WARNING

Safety warnings are included in this handbook. These indicate either a procedure which must be followed precisely, or information that should be considered with great care in order to avoid the possibility of personal injury.

WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE

Warning labels attached to your vehicle bearing this symbol mean: DO NOT touch or adjust components until you have read the relevant instructions in the handbook.

Labels showing this symbol indicate that the ignition system utilises very high voltages. DO NOT touch any ignition components while the starter switch is turned on!

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.

• Locking wheel nut number: If your vehicle has locking wheel nuts, you will have been provided with a special wheel nut socket to remove them. You will need to quote this number to obtain a replacement socket.

• 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 NUMBER (VIN), 270).

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

Caution: Cautions are included in this handbook. These indicate either a procedure which must be followed precisely, or information that should be considered with great care in order to avoid the possibility of damage to your vehicle.

General Information

SERVICE PORTFOLIO

The Service Portfolio book included in your literature pack contains important vehicle identification information as well as useful consumer advice.

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

Brake pads require a period of bedding in. For the first 800 km (500 miles), you should avoid situations where heavy braking is required.

Regular servicing is vital to ensure that the brake pads are examined for wear and changed periodically to ensure long term safety and optimum performance.

IN AN EMERGENCY

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 into a lay-by. 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 countries).

• Consider evacuating passengers through nearside doors onto the verge as a precaution in case your vehicle is accidentally struck by other traffic.

General Information

ON-BOARD EVENT DATA

Service data recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or brakes.

In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Land Rover and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle.

Event data recording

Other modules in your vehicle - event data recorders - are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near-crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating.

• Whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts were buckled.

• How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the brake pedal.

• How fast the vehicle was travelling.

• Where the driver was positioning the

steering wheel.

To access this information special equipment must be connected directly to the recording modules. Land Rover do not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or third parties acting with lawful authority.

Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Land Rover.

Keys and Handsets

Controls and Instruments

KEYS AND HANDSETS

H5966G

You have been supplied with two remote handsets with integral keys which operate all of the vehicle’s locks.

The operation of all transmitter buttons, on all handsets, will be inhibited whilst a key is in the starter switch.

Note: The key transmitter may not operate correctly in areas that are subject to interference from other radio equipment operating on a similar frequency. Areas where, for example, equipment such as amateur radio, medical devices, telecommunications equipment or other remotely operated alarms are in use may cause difficulty. If such difficulties are experienced, try to operate the transmitter as close as possible to the vehicle, or use the key in the door lock.

The keys supplied with your vehicle are programmed to your security system - the engine cannot be started without a key programmed to your vehicle.

Caution: Keep the spare handset key in a safe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE.

The other two keys that you have received are for locking the main glovebox.

Note: Should a key transmitter be lost or damaged, a replacement can only be obtained from your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer, where it will be programmed to your vehicle. The dealer will require proof of ownership, and keep a log of all enquiries for replacement key transmitters.

It is advisable to notify your dealer as soon as possible if a key transmitter is lost or stolen, and have the remaining transmitters reprogrammed. This will prevent access to the vehicle using the lost/stolen transmitter.

Remote handset battery

The battery is rechargeable. The fact that the battery needs recharging will be apparent from the following:

• ‘KEY BATTERY LOW’ will be displayed in the main message centre.

• A gradual deterioration in range and performance will be noticed.

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.

Battery recharge

Insert the key into the starter switch and start the engine. This will start to recharge the handset battery.

Anti-theft alarm indicator

H5969G

The indicator provides information about the status of the alarm and immobiliser systems, as follows:

When the alarm is armed with interior space protection*:

The indicator will triple flash for 10 seconds then continue to single flash until the vehicle is disarmed and immobilised.

When the alarm is armed without interior space protection:

The indicator will double flash for 10 seconds, then continue to single flash until the vehicle is disarmed and immobilised.

When the alarm is disarmed but the vehicle is immobilised (key out of starter switch):

The indicator will single flash until the alarm is armed or the vehicle is mobilised.

When the alarm is disarmed and the vehicle is mobilised (key in starter switch):

The indicator gives a one-second flash on remobilisation.

If the alarm sounds

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm will sound and the hazard warning lamps will flash for 30 seconds, before resetting to the same protection status that existed prior to the alarm being triggered.

To silence the alarm, press the lock or unlock button on the remote handset or insert the key into the starter switch. Pressing the lock button will keep the alarm armed.

When the vehicle is disarmed, the hazard warning lamps will quickly flash eight times if the alarm has sounded since the vehicle was last armed.

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, or be released by emergency services. Also, any movement from within the vehicle would activate the interior space protection alarm*.

Superlocking is activated by one press of the lock button on the handset.

When the vehicle is superlocked the doors can only be opened from inside or outside of the vehicle with the correct key or key transmitter.

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.
