SEAT BELTS/CHILD RESTRAINTS

A warning indicator in the

instrument pack will illuminate to alert you that the driver’s and/or

front passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled. An intermittent chime may also be heard.

Automatic Locking Reels (ALR)

All passenger seat belts have ALR fitted for use with child seats or securing large items.

To engage: extend seat belt to maximum length to enable locking mechanism.

Allow seat belt to retract onto the child seat/large item (a clicking sound will be heard as the belt retracts). Ensure there is no slack by pressing the seat/item firmly into the vehicle seat.

To disengage: unbuckle belt and allow belt to fully retract.

With ALR enabled, as the seat belt retracts, it will automatically lock, preventing re-extension.

Ensure passengers do not fully extend the restraints and inadvertently engage this feature during normal use.

Child Seats

It is important to remember that the child’s weight, rather than age, determines the type of seat that is required.

See CHILD SEATS, 67.

Recommended child seat

Land Rover strongly recommends the use of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child seats.

LATCH child seats can only be fitted in the rear, outer seating positions.

AUTO (Automatic) MODE

Press AUTO to select automatic operation of the system, both LEDs in the switch will illuminate.

The system adjusts heat output, blower speed, air intake and airflow distribution to maintain your the selected temperature(s) and reduce misting without further adjustments.

Use the air distribution and blower controls to adjust the automatic settings. The appropriate LED in the AUTO control will extinguish.

Recommended mode

Select AUTO as the normal operating mode. This will help prevent window misting and odours from the climate control system.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning provides cooled and dehumidified air for occupant comfort. Dry airflow is effective in preventing misting of windows and is also beneficial at low external temperatures.

Air conditioning is automatically switched on and controlled whenever the system is not operating in ‘Economy’ mode.

External water deposits

The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air and deposits excess water beneath the vehicle. Puddles may form, but this is normal and no cause for concern.

Temperature selection

Rotate the controls 1 to adjust the temperature for the respective side of the passenger compartment.

Operating note

It is not possible to achieve a temperature differential of more than 4°C (7°F) between left and right.

General Information

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.

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.

DATA RECORDING

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, accelerator, 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

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.

Parts and Accessories

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

WARNING

The fitting of non-approved parts and accessories, or the carrying out of non-approved alterations or conversions, may be dangerous and could affect the safety of the vehicle and occupants and also invalidate the terms and conditions of the vehicle warranty.

Land Rover will not accept any liability for death, personal injury or damage to property which may occur as a direct result of fitment of non-approved accessories or the carrying out of non-approved conversions to Land Rover vehicles.

Land Rover strongly advise against making any modifications to the suspension or steering system. This could seriously affect the handling and stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control or roll-over.

The vehicle has been designed, built and tested to cope with a variety of off-road driving conditions, some of which can place the severest possible demands on control systems and components. As such, fitting replacement parts and accessories that have been developed and tested to the same stringent standards as the original components will safeguard the continued reliability, safety and performance of the vehicle.

To augment the vehicle's already impressive performance, a comprehensive range of Land Rover approved spare parts and accessories is available, enabling the vehicle to fulfil a wide variety of roles, and enhancing and protecting the vehicle in the many tasks to which it can be applied.

Land Rover parts are the only parts built to original equipment specifications AND approved by Land Rover designers; this means that every single part and accessory has been rigorously tested by the same engineering team that designed and built the vehicle and can therefore be guaranteed for twelve months with unlimited mileage.

A full list and description of all accessories is available from Land Rover Dealer.

Electrical equipment

WARNING

It is extremely hazardous to fit or replace parts or accessories, the installation of which requires the dismantling of, or addition to, either the electrical or fuel systems.

ALWAYS consult a Land Rover Dealer before fitting any accessory.

Fitting inferior quality parts or accessories, may be dangerous and could invalidate the vehicle warranty.

It is recommended that you always consult a Land Rover Dealer for advice regarding the approval, suitability, installation and use of any parts or accessories before fitting.

In certain countries, it is illegal to fit parts which have not been made to the vehicle manufacturers' specification.

Owners should ensure that any parts or accessories fitted to the vehicle while travelling abroad will also conform to the legal requirements of their own country when they return home.

KEYS AND REMOTE CONTROLS

Caution: Keep the spare remote control in a safe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE.

LAN0112G

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, 50.

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.

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.

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. The system prevents the engine from being started unless the GENUINE remote control key is inserted into the starter switch.

Engine immobilisation is automatic five seconds after the key is removed from the starter switch.

Note: The engine will be re-mobilised automatically whenever the genuine remote control key is inserted into the starter switch.When this happens, the anti-theft alarm indicator will illuminate for one second and then extinguish.

Caution: The immobiliser may suffer interference from other legal users of this frequency band.

The immobiliser system operates on a frequency subject to USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS-210 of the industry Canada.

Operation is subject to the two following conditions:

1.The device may not cause harmful interference.

2.This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The immobiliser frequency approval numbers for the USA and Canada are shown below:
