OWNER’S HANDBOOK
Publication Part No. LRL 18 02 54 602
© Land Rover 2005
Introduction
Congratulations on acquiring your new Land Rover vehicle. We trust that you will enjoy many years
of safe, dependable driving.
This handbook forms part of the Owner literature supplied with your new vehicle. The first section is
a Quick Start area, designed to aid the initial driver set up and explain some of the unique features.
Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the equipment descriptions and operating
instructions before you drive. The more that you understand about your new vehicle, the greater the
safety, economy and pleasure you will derive from driving it.
To include vehicle design changes made after this handbook was printed, it may have been necessary
to issue a handbook supplement. Any supplements will be stored in the literature pack. If further
updates are required, they will be posted on the Land Rover internet site and can be accessed at;
www.ownerinfo.landrover.com.
Remember to pass on the Owner Literature when reselling the vehicle. It forms an integral part of
the whole vehicle package and will help to familiarise the next owner with this vehicle.
This handbook covers all current versions of the Range Rover Sport 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.
Important
The information contained in this handbook covers all vehicle derivatives and optional equipment.
Some of the options may not be fitted to your vehicle, unless they formed part of the original vehicle
specification. Therefore, some parts of this handbook may not apply to your vehicle. Furthermore,
due to printing cycles, it may include descriptions of options before they become generally available.
We operate a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserve the right to change
specifications, without notice, at any time. While 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 Dealer, except in respect of personal injury caused by the
negligence of the manufacturer or Dealer.
All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or

Quick Start
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 curbside 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 Reverse mirror dipping,
71.
RESONANCE WITH LOWERED
WINDOWS
If a resonance/booming sound occurs with only
the rear windows open, lowering an adjacent
front window about 25 mm (1 inch) will greatly
reduce 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.
OCCUPANT DETECTION
The cushion of the front passenger seat is fitted
with an occupancy detection system that
measures the weight on the cushion and
changes the passenger airbag status to suit.
The sensor will adjust the passenger airbag
status and operate the status indicator as
follows:
Seat
occupancy

Completely
empty
Low weight
occupant/

The operational status indicator is located on

Insert
When inserting a disc into either player, ensure
that the label side of the disc is facing upwards
and present the disc to the slot. Do not push it
into the slot, the player mechanism will draw
the disc in automatically.
There will be a short pause whilst the player
reads the information from the disc, which will
then be displayed on the screen. Play will
commence at the first track on the newly
inserted disc.
Dual and DVDPlus discs
Please be aware that a new generation of DVD
discs is being adopted by the music industry.
They are known as Dual Discs or DVDPlus
discs. They have digital music on one side and
video content on the other. Current in-car audio
systems with a front loading CD player may
load and play this type of disc, however, it is
likely that the disc will not eject and will block
up the player. Such damage to a CD player will
not be covered under warranty.

Before inserting a CD into the audio unit, select
CD mode by pressing the CD button.
Note: On Premium audio units it is necessary to
then select an empty CD slot, by pressing the
appropriate disc selection button (e.g. 3). The
six circles at the bottom left-hand side of the
screen represent the six available CD slots. As
soon as one has a CD in it, its number will
appear in the circle. Empty slots are, therefore,
those without numbers.

of not lower than 87 may also be used, but performance and fuel
economy will be reduced.
TIRE PRESSURES
Air pressure naturally increases in warm tires
(after the vehicle has been driven for a while). If
you have to check warm tires, you should
expect the pressures to have increased by
between 30 and 40 kPa (0.3 to 0.4 bar) (4 to 6
2
). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out
lb/in
of the tires in order to match the recommended
pressures.

HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
Your vehicle 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.
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 vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or vehicle roll-over. For important
safety information, be sure to read the driving
guidelines given later in this handbook.

It is important that you are familiar with these
subjects to ensure that your vehicle and its
features are used safely. Using the index at the
back of this handbook, refer to the relevant
topic for more information.
ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
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. Lock the vehicle using the remote control
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.

General Information
DATA RECORDING
Event data recording
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 Remote Controls
Controls and Instruments
KEYS AND REMOTE CONTROLS
H5966G
You have been supplied with two remote
controls with integral keys which operate all of
the vehicle’s locks.
The operation of all buttons, on remote
controls, will be inhibited whilst a key is in the
starter switch.
Note: The remote control 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
remote control as close as possible to the
vehicle, or use the key in the door lock. See
Emergency locking/unlocking, 35.
The remote controls supplied with your vehicle
are programmed to your security system - the
engine cannot be started without a remote
control programmed to your vehicle.
Caution: Keep the spare remote control in a
safe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE.
Note: Should a remote control be lost or
damaged, a replacement can only be obtained
from your Land Rover Dealer, where it will be
programmed to your vehicle. The Dealer will
require proof of ownership, and keep a log of all
enquiries for replacement remote controls.
It is advisable to notify your Dealer as soon as
possible if a remote control is lost or stolen,
and have the remaining remote control
reprogrammed. This will prevent access to the
vehicle using the lost/stolen remote control.
Compliance
The remote control 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.
Any changes or modifications to the remote
control not expressly approved by the
manufacturer or Land Rover North America Inc.
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
