Rover DEFENDER 2006 Owner Manual

OWNER’S HANDBOOK

Publication Part No. LRL 21 02 51 601

Introduction

This handbook covers current versions of the Land Rover Defender models and, together with other books in your literature pack, provides all of 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 Defender 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.

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

www.ownerinfo.landrover.com

* 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.

Locks and Alarms

ALARM SYSTEM*

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. In order to ensure maximum security and operating convenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the alarm system, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.

Using the remote control

H3619

While it is not necessary to point the remote control at the vehicle, the remote control must be within range of the vehicle when a button is pressed. Note that the operating range may vary depending upon remote control 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 within a few feet of the vehicle.

Vehicles with central door locking

Locking with the remote control: Press the lock (padlock symbol) button once:

• all doors are locked (including the tail door)

• engine immobilised

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors and bonnet)

• interior space protection activated

The direction indicator lamps flash three times to confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator (in the instrument panel) starts to flash.

Locking with the key:

Insert the key and turn the driver’s door lock towards the rear of the vehicle:

• all doors locked (including the tail door)

• engine immobilised

• NO PERIMETRIC ALARM OR INTERIOR

SPACE PROTECTION

The anti-theft alarm indicator (in the instrument panel) starts to flash after 30 seconds to show that the engine is immobilised.

Unlocking with the remote control:

Press the unlock (PLAIN) button once to disarm the alarm and unlock the doors.

The direction indicator lamps flash once and the interior lamps illuminate.

Unlocking with the key:

While all the doors can be unlocked using the key in the driver’s door lock, this method is NOT RECOMMENDED - depending on the specification of the vehicle the alarm may not be disarmed.

Locks and Alarms

Vehicles without central door locking

Locking and unlocking: Each door lock must be operated individually, using the key. The remote control will NOT operate the door locks. Turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle to lock and towards the front to unlock.

Arming & disarming the alarm: Press the lock button on the remote control to arm the alarm.

• Perimetric protection protects the doors and bonnet.

• Interior space protection is activated.

• Engine is immobilised.

Provided the doors and bonnet are securely closed, the direction indicators will flash three times and the anti-theft alarm indicator in the instrument panel will start to flash.

To disarm the alarm, press the unlock (PLAIN) button on the remote control; the direction indicators will flash once and the interior lamps illuminate.

Door sill locking buttons

From inside the vehicle, each door can be individually locked by depressing the appropriate sill locking button.

H3664

WARNING

DO NOT depress the sill buttons as a means of locking the doors from outside the vehicle (this practice - known as ‘slam locking’ - is NOT recommended, because keys can be locked inside accidentally).

On vehicles with central door locking, operation of the driver’s door sill locking button locks all the other doors too. However, engine immobilisation and interior space protection are suspended unless the remote control lock button is pressed as well.

NOTE: Slam locking, as described above, is prohibited on vehicles with central door locking.

The indicator lamp in the speedometer (arrowed in illustration) provides information about the status of the alarm system, as follows:

When the alarm is armed: The lamp flashes rapidly while the alarm is arming itself. After 10 seconds, the lamp adjusts to a slower frequency and continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.

If the engine is immobilised (even though the alarm has been disarmed):

The lamp flashes slowly until the engine is remobilised.

Mislock

If a door is not fully closed when the remote control lock button is pressed, the hazard warning lamps will fail to flash, indicating a mislock. In this case, the alarm system will not be fully armed and on vehicles with central door locking, none of the doors will lock.

As soon as the open aperture is closed, the hazard warning lamps will flash and the anti-theft alarm indicator lamp will resume flashing to confirm that the system has returned to a fully armed state.

NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open door, interior space protection will not be activated.

NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open bonnet, the door apertures will still be protected by the alarm system and interior space protection will be active.

If the alarm sounds

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound for 30 seconds before switching off and resetting itself to the same protection status that existed prior to the alarm being triggered. The alarm can be triggered up to three times before needing to be reset.

If the alarm has been triggered: The lamp will flash rapidly when the alarm is disarmed until the starter switch is turned to position II.

If the remote control battery power is low: The lamp will flash rapidly during the initial 10 seconds after the remote control has been used, while the alarm system is arming.

If the driver’s door is open: The lamp illuminates for 10 seconds, before adjusting to slow frequency flashing.

To silence the alarm, press either button on the remote control.

NOTE: While the alarm is sounding, the hazard warning lamps will flash to provide a visual alarm.

Locks and Alarms

INTERIOR SPACE PROTECTION*

H3597

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

Using the remote control: Interior space protection is activated automatically whenever the remote control is used to set the alarm and can ONLY be deactivated with the remote control.

Key operation: On vehicles fitted with central door locking, using the key to arm the alarm will NOT activate (or deactivate) interior space protection.

NOTE: Interior space protection cannot be activated if a door is open, or if the starter switch is turned on.

Interior protection will not operate for the first 15 seconds after the alarm is set.

Vehicles without central door locking

To disable interior space protection when setting the alarm, use the following procedure:

1. Open the driver’s door.

2. With the driver’s door open, use the

remote control to arm the alarm in the normal way.

3. Close the driver’s door (the hazard

warning lamps flash three times and the anti-theft indicator lamp commences flashing rapidly).

The alarm system is now armed with interior protection disabled.

NOTE: 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.

Locks and Alarms

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION

Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the security system, and includes a feature known as ‘passive immobilisation’. This is designed to safeguard the vehicle from theft, should the driver forget to lock the doors or arm the alarm. Engine immobilisation is automatic whenever any of the following conditions occurs:

• The vehicle is locked using remote control or key.

• Thirty seconds after the starter switch has been turned off AND the driver's door opened.

• Five minutes after the starter switch is turned off, or the alarm system is disarmed.

The engine is re-mobilised when the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control. However, if no further action - such as ignition being turned on - takes place within the next five minutes, passive immobilisation will occur.

The engine immobilisation system relies on the remote control to re-mobilise the engine. Look after the remote control at all times, protecting them from loss, damage and battery discharge.

If the engine has immobilised passively, re-mobilisation will occur when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’, provided the remote control is on the same ring as the key and in close proximity to the switch.

• ALWAYS keep the remote control on the same ring as the key.

• NEVER attach both remote controls to the SAME key ring.

Any attempt to start the engine while it is immobilised, will cause the engine immobilisation warning indicator (in the speedometer) to flash.

Emergency key access

If the remote control is damaged, or fails to operate, the engine can be re-mobilised by using the starter key to enter a unique four number emergency key access code. The code is recorded on the Security card and is entered as follows:

If your remote control is lost or inoperative, it is impossible to disarm the alarm. As soon as the door is opened, the alarm will sound (continuously for up to three 30-second periods), and continue while the code is being entered.

H6631

1. Remove the remote control from the key

ring and keep the remote control well away from the starter switch when entering the code.

2. From inside the vehicle, with the driver’s

door closed, immediately insert the key into the starter switch and turn to position ‘II’. Hold this position until the alarm sounds, then switch off and open and close the driver’s door.

3. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ the

required number of times to enter the first digit of the code (if the first digit is 4, turn the key to position ‘II’ and then back to ‘0’ four times).

4. Open and close the driver’s door (this will

enter the first digit of the code).

5. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and

back to ‘0’ the required number of times to enter the SECOND digit of the code.

6. Open and close the driver’s door again.

7. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and

back to ‘0’ the required number of times to enter the THIRD digit of the code.

8. Open and close the driver’s door again.

9. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and

back to ‘0’ the required number of times to enter the FOURTH digit of the code.

10. Finally, open and close the driver’s door

one more time.

If the code has been entered correctly, the anti-theft indicator will extinguish, the alarm will stop sounding and the engine can be started.

If an incorrect code has been entered:

If the code is entered incorrectly, the alarm sounder will sound twice, the anti-theft indicator lamp will continue to illuminate, and the engine will fail to start. Before entering the code again, turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and hold in this position for 5 seconds.

After three failed entry attempts, the security system invokes a delay period of 30 minutes during which the system will not accept any further attempts to enter a code.

Memorise the emergency key access code or keep the Security card on your person in case of emergencies. NEVER leave the card in the vehicle.

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

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

• The remote control will only work every other operation while disarming.

• The hazard warning lamps will not flash when the alarm is disarmed.

• DO NOT remove a battery until you are ready to install the replacement.

• The engine will immobilise five minutes after the key is removed from the starter switch (or 30 seconds after the starter has been switched off and the driver’s door opened). If remote control battery replacement is NOT completed within this period, the emergency key access code will have to be entered before the remote control can be synchronised.

Always fit a Land Rover STC 4080 or a Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery (available from a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer).

WARNING

The remote control 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.

1. Unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm

system.

2. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’, then

turn to position ‘0’ and remove the key.

3. Carefully prise the remote control apart;

start from the key ring end using a coin or small screwdriver. Avoid damaging the seal between the two halves of the case and DO NOT allow dirt or moisture to get inside the remote control.

4. Slide the battery out of its clip, taking care

to avoid touching the circuit board or the contact surfaces of the clip.

5. Press and hold one of the buttons for at

least five seconds (this will drain any residual power from the remote control).

6. 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.

7. Press the two halves of the remote control

firmly together and ensure that both halves are fully joined, to prevent dirt or moisture from entering the remote control.

8. Operate the PADLOCK symbol button at

least four times within range of the vehicle to synchronise the remote control.

9. Press the unlock button once to unlock the

vehicle.

The remote control is now ready for use.

ALARM OR REMOTE CONTROL DIFFICULTIES

If the alarm goes off unexpectedly: Ensure all the windows and sunroof are closed, or if they need to be left open, disable interior space protection.

If the alarm goes off when a door is opened: Disarm the alarm with the remote control before unlocking. If the remote control has failed, enter the emergency key access code (refer to ‘Emergency key access’, page 26).

If the starter will not operate: Ensure the remote control is on the same key ring as the starter key. If it still will not operate, consult a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

If the hazard warning lamps fail to flash when the alarm is armed:

A door or bonnet is partially opened - close the open aperture and try again.

Battery disconnection

Move the locking levers on the rear doors down to engage the child locks.

With the child-proof locks engaged, the rear doors cannot be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door being opened accidentally while the vehicle is moving.

WARNING

NEVER leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

Before disconnecting the vehicle battery, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to, in order to prevent the alarm from sounding.

If the vehicle battery is disconnected for any reason, the status of the security system prior to disconnection will be memorised and automatically reset when the battery is reconnected.
