Rover FREELANDER 2005 Owner Manual

OWNER’S HANDBOOK

Publication Part No. LRL 18 02 50 501

Introduction

This handbook covers all versions of the Freelander model and, together with the other books in the literature pack, provides the information 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 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.

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 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 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 negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.

All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form, electronic, mechanical, recording or other means without prior written permission from the Service Division of Land Rover.

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. If it subsequently finds that a safety related defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

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

AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE

To contact NHTSA, you may 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.

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 that you can do to make your vehicle a less inviting target.

• Park your vehicle where it will be clearly visible to 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.

NOTE: The label must not be changed, even if different wheels are fitted at a later stage.

General Information

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT

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 warning lamps.

• 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.

ON-BOARD EVENT DATA

Service data recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about 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.

This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or brake systems.

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.

General Information

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 your maximum road speed to 70 mph (110 km/h) and engine speed to 3000 rev/min. 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 increased gradually.
