Owner's Handbook

This handbook covers all derivatives in the Freelander range available at the date of publication and, together with the other publications in the literature pack, 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 different aspect of the vehicle. These are listed on the following page and you will find it worthwhile to take a little time to read each one, and get to know your Freelander 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.

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.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your retailer or Land Rover North America.

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.

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.

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

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

WARNINGS IN THIS HANDBOOK

WARNING

Safety warnings are included in this handbook. These indicate a procedure which must be followed precisely in order to avoid the possibility of personal injury.

Introduction

BEFORE YOU DRIVE

Your Freelander 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 maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the Freelander 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.

SYMBOLS USED

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

PASSPORT TO SERVICE

The Passport to Service book included in your literature pack contains important vehicle identification information, details of your entitlement under the terms of the Land Rover warranty, 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 retailer should sign and stamp to certify that routine services have been carried out.

This recycling symbol identifies items

that must be disposed of safely in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the environment.

This symbol identifies features that can be

adjusted or disabled/enabled by a Land Rover retailer

*An asterisk appearing within the text, identifies features or items of equipment that are either optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range.

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. If a breakdown occurs on a freeway, pull well over to the inside of the 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 the traffic, to a safe area away from the vehicle as a precaution in case your Freelander is accidentally struck by another vehicle.

Introduction

BREAKING-IN

Proper breaking-in will have a direct bearing on the reliability and smooth running of your vehicle throughout its life.

In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and tires need time to ‘bed-in’ and adjust to the demands of everyday motoring. During the first 600 miles (1000 km), it is essential to drive with consideration for the breaking-in process and heed the following advice:

• LIMIT maximum road speed to 70 mph

(110 km/h) or 3,000 rev/min. Initially, drive the vehicle on a light throttle and only increase engine speeds gradually once the breaking-in distance has been completed.

• DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the

engine to labour in any gear.

• AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking

except in emergencies.

After the breaking-in distance has been completed, engine speeds may be gradually increased.

KEYS AND HANDSETS

H3519A

You have been supplied with a pair of identical keys and two remote control handsets.

Keep the spare key in a safe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE!

The keys supplied with your vehicle are programmed to the vehicle's security system they CANNOT be reprogrammed and the engine cannot be started without a valid programmed key. If a key is lost or broken, a replacement can be ordered only 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 later recovered, your Land Rover 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 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.

ALARM SYSTEM

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

Locks & Alarm

LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE ALARM

Before locking the vehicle and arming the alarm, ensure that all doors (including taildoor), windows, sunroof and hood apertures are securely closed.

There are three methods for securing your vehicle:

• ‘Superlocking’ using the handset -

(recommended high security method).

• ‘Superlocking’ using the key.

• Locking using the key.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY ALWAYS

SUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE HANDSET

Using the remote handset

Locking

With the remote handset: Press the lock (padlock symbol) button once. Each time the vehicle is locked using the handset, a coded signal is transmitted to a receiver inside the vehicle, which activates the following security features:

• the central door locking system (all the door

locks are activated).

• the perimetric alarm (protects the door,

taildoor, and hood apertures).

Pressing the lock (padlock symbol) a second time within one second of the first action activates:

• ‘Superlocking’ - the door locks cannot be

operated from inside the vehicle.

With both levels of locking, if the doors lock correctly, the direction indicator lights flash three times to confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) will start to flash rapidly.

Once armed, the alarm will sound if any door is opened.

With the key:

Insert the key and turn the door lock clockwise. Turning the key ONCE activates the following:

• all doors locked (not superlocked)

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, hood and taildoor)

H3297

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 within a few feet of the vehicle.

Turning the key TWICE within 1 second activates, in addition to the above:

• Superlocking If the doors lock correctly, the direction

indicators flash three times to confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) will start to flash rapidly.

NOTE: The engine will automatically be immobilised after the starter switch has been turned off.

Locks & Alarm

Superlocking

Provided all the doors are fully closed, the Superlocking feature is activated automatically whenever the vehicle is locked by pressing the padlock symbol on the remote handset twice within one second. 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.

WARNING

For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if passengers are to remain inside the vehicle in an emergency they would not be able to escape.

Mislock

If one of the doors, taildoor or hood is not properly closed when the alarm is armed, a mislock occurs (the horn will sound a warning). The alarm will still be armed and the engine immobilised, but the open aperture will not be protected. If the appropriate aperture is then closed, the alarm will fully arm without the need to press the lock button again unless the driver's door is open, in which case the alarm will be fully armed by pressing the lock button again.

If the taildoor glass is left open when the alarm is armed, the horn will sound as a reminder, but the vehicle will be locked and alarmed as normal. The taildoor glass can be closed from outside the vehicle using the starter key in the taildoor (see ‘Raising and lowering’, page 72).

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

H3298

After locking, the RED indicator light on the instrument panel flashes rapidly while the alarm is arming itself.

After approximately 10 seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower frequency, and continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.

Unlocking

With the remote handset:

If your vehicle is configured with the Single Point Entry security feature, and was locked with the handset, the handset unlocks the vehicle in two stages:

• Press the unlock (Land Rover) button once

to disarm the alarm and unlock the driver's door only (see ‘Single point entry’, page 30).

• Press the unlock button twice to disarm the

alarm and unlock ALL the doors.

If your vehicle is not configured with Single Point Entry, all the doors will unlock at the first press.

In either case, the direction indicators flash once and the interior lights illuminate.

With the key:

Turn the key towards the front of the vehicle. The alarm will be fully disarmed. To remobilise the engine, the key must be inserted into the starter switch.

Locks & Alarm

If the alarm sounds

If the alarm is triggered, it will sound for approximately 30 seconds before switching itself off and can be triggered up to ten times in total before needing to be reset.

To silence the alarm, press either handset button, or operate the door locks using the key in the driver's door.

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, press a second time to unlock the remaining doors and taildoor.

Single point entry can be configured by a Land Rover retailer.

Interior locking switch

H3334

This is a personal security feature which allows the driver to lock (or unlock) all the doors from inside the vehicle (while driving or with the vehicle stationary). Press the lower part of the switch to lock (the alarm will not be armed), and the upper part to unlock.

NOTE: If interior locking has been activated, pull the interior door handle once to unlock, and twice to open the door.

Door handles and door sill locking buttons

From inside the vehicle, each door can be individually locked by depressing the appropriate door sill button. However, doors cannot be unlocked by raising the sill button.

Use the door handles to unlock, as follows:

• First operation of the door handle unlocks

the door.

• Second operation of the door handle opens

the door.

NOTE: The door handles will not open the doors if the vehicle has been superlocked (see ‘Superlocking’, page 29)
