OWNER’S HANDBOOK

This handbook together with the Passport to

Service, provides all the information that you

will need to derive maximum pleasure from

owning and driving your new Range Rover.

For convenience, the handbook is divided into

sections, each dealing with a particular aspect

of driving or caring for the vehicle. Sections

are listed on the contents page and you will

find it worthwhile to take a little time to read

each one, and to get to know your Range

Rover as soon as you possibly can.

Remember, the more you understand before

you drive, the greater the satisfaction when

you are seated behind the steering wheel.

PASSPORT TO SERVICE

Your new Range Rover is covered by the

following warranties:

• Land Rover New Vehicle Limited Warranty

• Land Rover Corrosion Perforation Limited

Warranty

• Land Rover Vehicle Emission Control

System Warranty (U.S.A.)

• Land Rover U.S. Emissions Performance

Warranty

Detailed information on these warranties can

be found in the Passport to Service included

in your literature pack. The Passport to

Service also contains important vehicle

identification information and useful

consumer advice.

Most important of all, however, is the section

on maintenance. This outlines the servicing

requirements for your Range Rover and also

incorporates the service record slips, which

the Dealer should sign and stamp to certify

that routine services have been carried out at

the recommended intervals.

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.

However, NHTSA cannot become

involved in individual problems between

you, your Dealer or Land Rover North

America.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Auto

Safety HOTLINE toll free at

1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in

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.

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Safety warnings are included in this

handbook. These indicate either a procedure

which must be followed precisely, or

information that should be considered with

great care in order to avoid the possibility of

personal injury or serious damage to the

vehicle.

WARNING

Your Range Rover has a higher ground

clearance and hence a higher centre 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 Range Rover 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 manoeuvres. As with other

vehicles of this type, failure to operate the

Range Rover correctly may result in loss of

control or vehicle rollover. Be sure to read

the «on-road» and «off-road» driving

guidelines that follow.

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.

• At home, if you have a garage, use it — and

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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown

safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:-

• Wherever possible, consistent with

safety and traffic conditions, the

vehicle should be moved off the

main thoroughfare, preferably onto

the shoulder as far as possible. If a

breakdown occurs on a freeway, pull

well over to the inside of the hard

shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position the warning

triangle (located on the underside of

the loadspace floor panel — see

’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 to a

safe area away from the vehicle as a

precaution in case your Range Rover

is struck by another vehicle.

11

In this section of the handbook you will find

descriptions of the controls and instruments

on your vehicle.

For your own safety, it is most important to

read this section fully and to gain a thorough

understanding of all the controls before

driving.

Security Card

14

The security card, supplied with the literature

pack, contains important emergency

information. It is ESSENTIAL that you keep

the card safe from theft and ensure that it is

passed to the new owner if you sell the

vehicle.

• Key number: This is the number of the

starter/door key — essential if you ever

need to obtain a replacement.

• VIN (vehicle identification number): This

identity number is unique to your vehicle

and is essential proof of its specification.

The number can also be found in various

locations around the vehicle (see ’Vehicle

Identification’ in Section 1).

• Radio security code number: Your vehicle

is delivered with the security code

disabled. If you wish to have it actuated

see your Land Rover dealer.

WARNING

Never leave the security card inside the

vehicle when it is unattended.

Locks & alarm

15

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated

electronic anti-theft alarm system. In order to

ensure maximum security, you are advised to

gain a full understanding of the system by

thoroughly reading this section of the

handbook.

LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE

ALARM

You have been supplied with two

handset/keys (numbered 1 and 2). While both

are identical in operation, they transmit two

different sets of information (see ’Key

activated memory seats’). Replacement

handsets are only available from a Land Rover

dealer. Up to two further handsets (3 and 4)

can also be obtained.

There are four methods for securing your

vehicle:

1. ’Superlocking’ using the handset —

(recommended high security method).

2. ’Superlocking’ using the key.

3. Locking using the handset.

4. Locking using the key.

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY, ALWAYS

’SUPERLOCK’ THE VEHICLE USING THE

HANDSET

(except when the vehicle is to be locked with

passengers or animals inside).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Emergency keys

In addition to the two handsets, you have

also been supplied with two separate

keys. These keys perform the same

functions as the key part of the handset

and are intended for emergency use only.

DO NOT keep the keys inside the vehicle.

The handset

The radio remote handset has three buttons

(described below). By pressing the

appropriate button, the handset can be used

either as a conventional key, or as a remote

handset to either lock or ’superlock’ the

vehicle.

1. Key release button.

• Press to release the key, which can then

be used as a conventional key to operate

the starter switch, glovebox and door

locks.

Locks & alarm

16

2. Lock button (padlock symbol)

• press once to lock.

• press twice to ’superlock’.

3. Unlock button

• press once to unlock.

• press and hold to operate the ’Key

activated memory seats’ facility (see ’Key

activated memory seats’).

Once the security system is armed, the

following features are activated:

• The central locking system locks all the

doors and the tailgate.

• The perimetric alarm (protecting the

doors, hood and tailgate) is armed.

• If ’handset superlocking’ is activated, the

volumetric alarm is also armed (a sensor

inside the passenger compartment

monitors the interior space and activates

the alarm if an intrusion into the

passenger compartment is detected).

The volumetric sensor will enter a self-check

mode each time you turn the starter switch

off. It will remain active for 60 seconds, or

until:

1. The driver’s door is opened and closed.

2. The vehicle is locked with the handset or

key.

NOTE: If the sensor fails its self-check five

times consecutively, only the ’perimetric’

elements of the security system will be active

(doors, hood and tailgate). Any attempt to

’superlock’ with the handset will result in

’ALARM FAULT’ being displayed on the

message centre and a mislock occurring (see

’Mislock’). Seek qualified assistance to rectify

the fault.

NOTE: The handset complies with part 15 of

the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful

interference.

2. This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation. This applies to

both alarm receivers and handset

transmitter.

CAUTION: Any changes or modifications to

the transmitter not expressly approved by the

manufacturer could void the user’s authority

to operate the equipment.

Locks & alarm

17

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

After locking the vehicle, the RED indicator

light (arrowed in illustration) flashes rapidly

for ten seconds to confirm that the security

system has been successfully armed. After ten

seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower

frequency, and then continues to flash as an

anti-theft deterrent until such time as the

security system is disarmed.

If, while operating the handset (or key), the

alarm sounds, this indicates that one of the

doors, the hood or the tailgate is not properly

closed (the message centre display will

confirm which aperture is not secure).

Although the handset can be successfully

operated from a significant distance from the

vehicle, when locking it is wise to be close

enough to visually confirm that the door

locking buttons have dropped into place and

that the indicator light confirms a successful

lock.

NOTE: Occasional atmospheric conditions

can significantly reduce the effective range of

handset operation. If this occurs, operate the

handset closer to the vehicle. In the most

extreme cases, it may be necessary to touch

the handset against the radio aerial ’fired’ onto

one of the rear side windows.

If the message centre displays ’KEY BATTERY

LOW’, this indicates that the handset batteries

need replacing (see ’Handset batteries’).

SUPERLOCKING

If the vehicle is ’superlocked’ (with either the

handset, or the key), the doors CANNOT be

unlocked or opened from inside the vehicle.

For this reason DO NOT superlock the vehicle

with passengers inside.

’Superlocking’ using the handset:

Press and release the ’lock’ button (1) on the

handset twice (within 1

1

/

2

seconds). After 15

seconds you will hear ’superlocking’ engage.

If any door, the hood or tailgate is left open, a

mislock will occur (see ’Mislock’).

If a window or sunroof is open, superlocking

will engage immediately, however volumetric

protection will not be activated.

To unlock:

Press and release the ’unlock’ button (2) on

the handset once.

If the handset is inoperative, the vehicle can

be unlocked by using the key in the driver’s

door lock.

Locks & alarm

18

’Superlocking’ using the key:

Wherever possible the handset MUST be used

to ’superlock’ the vehicle. However, if the

handset is inoperative, the key can be used as

follows:

Turn the key in the driver’s door towards the

rear of the vehicle (and release) twice within

1

1

/

2

seconds.

NOTE: ’Superlocking’ the vehicle using the

key will provide perimetric protection only —

volumetric protection (protection of the

interior space inside the vehicle) WILL NOT

BE ACTIVE! If any door, the hood, or the

tailgate is left open, a mislock will occur (see

’Mislock’).

To unlock:

Wherever possible use the handset to unlock

the vehicle — press and release the ’unlock’

button.

If necessary, the key can also be used to

unlock a ’superlocked’ vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If unattended passengers are to be left in

the vehicle, it is recommended that they

should lock the vehicle from inside by

pressing down the driver’s door sill

button.

If animals are to be left in the vehicle,

volumetric protection MUST NOT be

activated — any movement inside the

vehicle could trigger the alarm.

NEVER leave children unattended in the

vehicle!

WARNING

NEVER ’superlock’ the vehicle if passengers

are to be left inside — ’superlocking’

prevents door locks from being operated

from INSIDE as well as outside the vehicle!

NOTE: If the handset ’lock’ button or the door

key are operated once, the central locking will

be activated, but the alarm will only be in

’perimetric’ mode and the doors and locks

CAN be opened from the inside. ALWAYS,

where possible secure the vehicle by

’superlocking’.

’Sill’ locking

To operate the central locking from inside the

vehicle, push down either front door sill

button.

The security system will NOT be armed.

NOTE: ’Sill’ locking is NOT possible from

outside the vehicle.

Locks & alarm

19

MISLOCK

A mislock will occur if:

• A door, hood or tailgate are left open.

• The key is left in the starter switch.

• An incomplete ’all close’ is attempted. The

message centre will indicate the cause of a

mislock e.g. ’SUNROOF BLOCKED’.

If a mislock occurs, a warning ’bleep’ will

sound in which case you should unlock the

vehicle, rectify the cause of the mislock and

then re-lock the vehicle.

’ALL CLOSE’ FEATURE

The key activated ’all close’ feature enables

you to use the key to close the windows and

sunroof at the same time as you secure the

vehicle.

To operate:

1. Ensure the doors, hood and tailgate are

properly closed.

2. Turn and hold the key in the ’lock’ position

(turn twice and hold on the second turn if

’Superlocking’).

The doors and tailgate will lock and the

windows, followed by the sunroof will close.

NOTE: If a window or the sunroof detects an

obstruction, a mislock occurs and the locking

sequence will stop. Remove the obstruction

before trying to use the ’all close’ feature

again.

KEY ACTIVATED MEMORY SEATS

This feature enables the handsets to be used

to recall the pre-set electric seat/mirror

positions when you UNLOCK the door. The

two handsets are separately identified by

different labels and by grey and black battery

covers — key 1 corresponds to driver’s seat

memory 1, and key 2 to seat memory 2 (see

’Seats’).

NOTE: If additional handset/keys have been

obtained (key 3 & key 4), they are not linked

to the memory seat system.

Press and hold the ’unlock’ button on the

handset for 1

1

/

2

seconds (the indicator light

on the handset flashes rapidly), and then

release. The driver’s seat and both mirrors will

move to the positions programmed into the

relevant seat memory.

NOTE: This feature will only operate if

volumetric protection was activated when the

vehicle was locked (ie. by ’superlocking’ using

the handset).

It will not function if the alarm system has

already been triggered since it was last set,

and will be cancelled if a door is opened, or if

the vehicle is relocked.

Locks & alarm

20

AUTO RELOCK

Auto relock ensures that, if the vehicle is

unlocked accidentally, the vehicle will relock

itself automatically after a 60 second delay.

Once the ’unlock’ button on the handset has

been pressed, the alarm system will monitor

the vehicle for 60 seconds. If any of the

following occur during this period, the vehicle

will remain unlocked:

• A door or the tailgate is opened.

• Interior movement is detected.

• The key is inserted into the starter switch,

or the switch is turned to position ’I’.

However, if none of the above has occurred

within 60 seconds, then the vehicle will

automatically return to its previous ’locked’

state.

OPENING THE DOORS

When opening a door from outside the

vehicle, it is recommended that the moving

part of the handle is held by the fingers and

that the door catch is operated by pushing

with the thumb against the fixed part of the

handle.

CHILD-PROOF LOCKS (rear doors only)

Move the lever downwards (arrowed in

illustration) to engage.

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

TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH, NEVER LEAVE

CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED IN THE VEHICLE.

Locks & alarm

21

INERTIA CUT-OFF SWITCH

This switch is a safety device that

automatically unlocks the doors in the event

of an accident or sudden impact (provided the

starter switch is turned on). In addition, the

inertia switch inhibits power to the electric

fuel pump, turns off the heating and air

conditioning fans, and turns on the hazard

warning lights, which continue flashing until

either the starter switch is turned off or the

inertia switch is reset.

The switch is located behind the vertical panel

in the right hand footwell. Remove the cover

by using a coin to rotate the turnbuckle

anti-clockwise and then prise the cover off.

When the switch is tripped, the message

centre will alternately display; ’REFER

HANDBOOK’ and ’INERTIA SWITCH’.

To reset the switch, press the rubber top

(arrowed in illustration).

NOTE: The vehicle can be secured even if the

switch has been tripped by removing the

starter key, opening and closing one of the

front doors and then locking the vehicle.

WARNING

Always check for fuel leaks before resetting

the switch!

Locks & alarm

22

Handset batteries

When the batteries need replacing, the

message centre will display ’KEY BATTERY

LOW’. To replace:

• Remove the battery cover by turning the

cover anti-clockwise with a coin.

• Taking care not to touch the circuit board,

prise the batteries from the cover and fit

new ones (with the positive side facing the

cover), and replace the cover.

The batteries should be replaced within 1

minute of removing the old ones, otherwise it

may be necessary to re-synchronise the

handset (see ’Handset synchronisation’). New

batteries are available from your dealer.

NOTE: Finger marks on the batteries will

adversely affect battery life. If possible, avoid

touching the surface of the batteries, and wipe

clean before fitting.

Handset synchronisation

The handset transmits a coded message,

which changes each time a button is pressed.

If a handset is operated too many times out of

range of the vehicle or if the handset batteries

are removed for longer than a minute, it may

need to be re-synchronised.

To synchronise:

• If the vehicle is locked, press the ’unlock’

button on the handset and then unlock the

vehicle using the key.

• If the vehicle is unlocked, press the ’lock’

button on the handset and then lock the

vehicle using the key.

NOTE: Handset synchronisation cannot be

achieved if the vehicle alarm is armed or if the

handset batteries need replacing.

Tailgate

23

OPENING THE TAILGATE

With the vehicle unlocked, press the release

button once to release the upper tailgate.

NOTE: There is a handle built into the lower

edge of the upper tailgate to assist in opening

and closing.

With the upper tailgate open, press the release

button again to release the lower tailgate,

which can then be lowered to the horizontal

position.

NOTE: The tailgate cannot be opened if the

vehicle battery is flat or disconnected;

emergency access to the loadspace can only

be achieved, by folding the rear seats from

inside the vehicle, (see ’Seats).

WARNING

Do not drive with the tailgate open;

poisonous carbon monoxide fumes will

enter the vehicle which could cause serious

injury or death.

CLOSING THE TAILGATE

Raise the lower tailgate first and close firmly.

Then lower and close the upper tailgate.

Always check that the tailgate is secure before

driving and before leaving the vehicle

unattended.

Message centre

FRONT SEATS

Seat adjustment is only possible when the

starter switch is turned to positions ’I’ or ’II’,

or with a front door open when the switch is

at position ’0’.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of loss of control and

personal injury, DO NOT adjust the driver’s

seat while the vehicle is in motion and

ENSURE that the adjustable backrests are

not reclined by more than 15 degrees when

the vehicle is in motion. An inflating airbag

can cause facial abrasions and other

injuries. The injurious affects of airbag

inflation can be minimised by ensuring

driver and passenger are seated correctly,

with the seat moved back as far as is

practical, and the seat belts worn correctly.

The following functions are available:

Seat forward & rearward

Push and hold the switch forwards or

backwards to move the seat to the desired

position.

WARNING

Your vehicle is fitted with side impact

airbags, The use of seat covers not

approved for use with Range Rover side

airbags will REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS of

those airbags in a crash.

Seat cushion angle

Twist the switch forward or back to tilt the

front or rear of the seat cushion to the desired

position.

Seats

34

Seat cushion height

Push the switch up or down to raise or lower

the cushion.

Lumbar support adjustment

Press the upper button to increase, and the

lower button to reduce, lumbar support.

Head restraint adjustment

Raise or lower the switch, until the head

restraint is level with the back of the head.

WARNING

Head restraints are designed to support the

back of the head (NOT THE NECK) and to

restrain rearward movement of the head in

the event of a collision. The restraint must

be positioned level with the head to be

effective.

Do not drive, or carry passengers with the

head restraints removed.

Seats

35

Seat back adjustment

Twist the switch forward or backward, until

the desired seat back angle is achieved.

WARNING

DO NOT allow occupants to travel with the

seat backs reclined steeply rearwards.

Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat

belt, with the seat back angle set to 15

degrees from the upright (vertical) position.

Folding armrests

An adjustable folding armrest is fitted to the

inboard side of the front seats.

Pull the armrest down into the horizontal

position, then turn the knob at the end of the

armrest to set the desired angle.

36

DRIVER’S SEAT/MIRRORS MEMORY

FACILITY

WARNING

Before activating the seat/mirror memory,

ensure that the area immediately

surrounding the seats is clear of

obstructions.

Your vehicle can memorise two different

driver seating and mirror positions. To store

the positions in the system memory, the

starter switch must be turned to either

position ’I’ or ’II’ and the transmission must

NOT be in reverse gear.

Set the driver’s seat and both door mirrors to

the required positions and store the settings

by pressing and holding the SEAT MEMORY

switch, together with either switch 1 or 2, for

2 seconds. ’MEMORY 1 STORED’ or

’MEMORY 2 STORED’ will be displayed on the

message centre to confirm the storing action.

To recall your stored position, after the seat or

mirrors have been moved by another driver,

press and hold the appropriate switch (1 or

2); the seat and mirrors will return to the

position stored by that memory switch. Once

they have reached their memory positions, a

tone will sound to confirm that the operation

is complete.

NOTE: If the memory positions are stored

whilst the lights are on, the illumination level

of the instrument panel will also be stored in

the memory.

Seats

37

Driver’s seat one-touch operation

The one-touch function is operated by briefly

pressing the relevant memory switch (1 or 2).

The seat will then automatically move to the

memory position.

’One touch’ operation can be cancelled at any

time by pressing either of the memory

switches or any of the seat axis switches.

Pressing either of the seat memory switches

stops all movement immediately: pressing one

of the axis switches cancels the memory seat

movement, but starts the seat moving in the

direction of the switch which is pressed.

Release the switch to stop all movement.

• Automatic transmission: the one-touch

function is NOT available when the engine

is running and the gearshift lever is out of

’P’ (park).

Key activated memory seats

The key activated memory seat facility enables

the handsets to be used to recall seat and

mirror positions when you UNLOCK the

doors.

If the vehicle had been superlocked using a

handset, then pressing the UNLOCK BUTTON

on handset 1 for more than 1

1

/

2

seconds,

causes the driver’s seat and both mirrors to

move to the position stored by memory

switch 1. Pressing the UNLOCK BUTTON on

handset 2 for more than 1

1

/

2

seconds, causes

the driver’s seat and both mirrors to move to

the position stored by memory switch 2.

Passenger seat memories

The operation of the passenger seat memories

is the same as that for the driver’s, apart from

the following:

• One-touch operation is available whenever

normal memory operation is available.

• Passenger seat memories do not include

the mirror positions or instrument panel

illumination levels.

• The message centre will not confirm the

storing of a memory position.

Seats

38

REAR SEAT

WARNING

DO NOT adjust any part of a seat while the

vehicle is in motion.

Ensure your fingers are clear of the seat

latches when folding the rear seats.

Folding the rear seats

One, or both parts of the split rear seat, can be

either partially folded to provide a useful

horizontal surface, or fully folded to further

increase the rear loadspace.

Before folding either part of the rear seat,

ensure that the outer rear seat belts are

correctly stowed in their belt clips (see

illustration). To avoid damaging the centre

seat belt, roll the buckle neatly and stow it in

the space provided at its anchor point in the

centre of the rear seat.

To fold either part of the rear seat, press the

appropriate release button ’A’, then fold the

backrest down to position 1. To further

increase the loadspace, fold the backrest and

seat base together to position 2.

When returning the rear seat to its normal

position, ensure that the backrest is securely

latched in place before driving.

NOTE: If the seat base is not fully latched in

position, it will not be possible to raise the

backrest.

WARNING

When the seat is returned to the upright

position the latching mechanism should be

visually checked and physically tested, to

ensure that the latch is secure before

driving.

Seats

39

Rear head restraint adjustment

Head restraints are designed to restrain

rearward movement of the head in the event

of a collision.

Lift to raise the head restraint. Depress the

button to lower or remove the head restraint.

Tilt the angle of the restraint to ensure it is as

close to the back of the head as possible.

WARNING

Always adjust the height of the head

restraint level with the back of the head, not

the neck.

DO NOT carry passengers with the head

restraints removed.

Rear seat armrest

Pull on the tab at the top of the armrest and

fold down to the horizontal position.

Seat belts

SEAT BELT SAFETY

WARNING

Seat belts are life saving equipment. In a

collision, occupants not wearing a seat belt

will be thrown around inside, or possibly

thrown out of the vehicle. This is likely to

result in more serious injuries than would

have been the case had a seat belt been

worn. It may even result in loss of life!

Don’t take chances with safety!

• DO make sure ALL occupants are

securely strapped in at all times — even

for the shortest journeys.

• The airbag supplementary restraint

system (SRS) is designed to add to the

overall effectiveness of the seat belts, it

DOES NOT replace them. SEAT BELTS

MUST ALWAYS BE WORN.

• Ensure that all seat belts are worn

correctly — an improperly worn seat belt

increases the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of a collision.

• DO use the seat belts to secure items of

luggage that are to be carried on the

seats — in the event of an accident, loose

items become flying missiles capable of

causing serious injury, or even death.

Seat belts

41

WEARING SEAT BELTS CORRECTLY

WARNING

Maladjustment of the seat belt could reduce

its effectiveness in a crash.

Fastening the inertia reel belts

Draw the belt over the shoulder and across

the chest, and then insert the metal tongue

plate into the lock nearest the wearer — a

’CLICK’ indicates that the belt is securely

locked.

In some circumstances, perhaps due to the

vehicle being parked on a slope, the inertia

mechanism may engage, preventing the initial

extension of a belt. This is not a fault — ease

the belt free and use it.

Adjust the seat belt to eliminate any slack in

the webbing. DO NOT slacken the webbing by

holding the belt away from the body — to be

fully effective, the seat belt must remain in full

contact with the body at all times. Also,

ensure that the lap belt fits as low on the hips

as possible and that the shoulder belt passes

across the shoulder without slipping off or

pressing on the neck (see also ’Seating

positions’ in the ’Airbag SRS’ section of this

handbook).

Upper anchorage adjustment

The height of the seat belt upper anchorage

can be adjusted for comfort AND safety. Press

and hold the button (arrowed in upper

illustration) to raise or lower the anchorage.

For safety, the seat belt should always be

worn with the webbing crossing the shoulder

midway between the neck and the edge of the

shoulder.

Ensure that the anchorage is correctly located

in one of the height positions before driving.

For children and young adults where the seat

belt cannot be properly positioned, the use of

a booster seat appropriate to the age and size

of the child is recommended.

Seat belts

42

Lap belts

The rear central seating position is fitted with

a lap belt. To adjust, pull the slider (arrowed in

illustration) along the belt and feed the

webbing through the buckle until the belt is

comfortably tight. Insert the metal tongue

plate into the lock nearest the centre of the

seat, and fit as low as possible on the hips

(never on the abdomen).

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the

bony structure of the body (pelvis, chest and

shoulders), and can only be worn safely with

the seats in a normal, upright, position.

• ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on the

hips as possible (never across the

abdomen) and ensure that the diagonal

belt passes across the shoulder without

slipping off or pressing on the neck.

• DO NOT travel with the seat backs

reclined steeply rearward. Optimum

benefit is obtained when the seat is

reclined no more than 15 degrees from

the upright (vertical) position. A steeply

reclined seat could allow a passenger to

slip under either the shoulder or the lap

belt.

Seat belts

43

WARNING

• DO NOT fit more than one person into a

belt; this could result in the occupants

striking each other and causing injury in

the event of a crash.

• DO NOT use, or attempt to fit, a seat belt

that is twisted or obstructed in any way

that could impede its smooth operation.

If a belt is twisted, it must be

straightened before use. Using a twisted

or obstructed seat belt could increase

the risk of injury in a crash.

• ALWAYS use the seat belt lock (buckle)

nearest the wearer. If the belt is locked

in the wrong place, the seat belt will not

fit correctly and may ride up over the

abdomen, causing serious internal injury

in a crash.

• DO NOT wear the shoulder belt under

your arm. In an accident this could

increase your chances of being injured.

Wearing seat belts during

pregnancy

The seat belts have been designed for all

adults, including pregnant women. In a crash

situation any occupant is less likely to be

injured while correctly restrained by a seat

belt. However, pregnant women should wear

the lap belt as low on the hips as possible to

avoid pressure on the abdomen.

Women should consult their doctor to

establish the best use of seat belts during

pregnancy.

Seat belts

44

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS

The seat belt pre-tensioners activate in

conjunction with the airbag SRS and provide

additional protection in the event of a severe

frontal impact on the vehicle (see ’Airbag

SRS’). The pre-tensioners automatically

retract the seat belts fitted to the front seats.

This reduces any slack in both the lap and

diagonal portions of the belts, thereby

reducing forward movement of the belt wearer

in the event of a severe frontal collision.

The airbag SRS warning light on the

instrument panel will alert you to any

malfunction of the seat belt pre-tensioners.

If the pre-tensioners have been activated, the

seat belts will still function as restraints, and

must be worn in the event that the vehicle

remains in a driveable condition.

NOTE: The seat belt pre-tensioners will NOT

be activated by rear, side or minor frontal

impacts.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The seat belt pre-tensioners will only be

activated once and then MUST BE

REPLACED. Failure to replace the

pre-tensioners will reduce the

effectiveness of the vehicle’s restraint

systems.

After any frontal impact, the seat belts

and pre-tensioners must be checked and,

if necessary, replaced.

In the interests of safety, it is

recommended that removal or

replacement of the front seats, seat belts

and pre-tensioners should only be carried

out by qualified personnel.

Disposing of vehicles

If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform

the new owner that the vehicle is fitted

with pre-tensioners.

If your vehicle is to be scrapped,

unactivated pre-tensioners are potentially

very dangerous and must be safely

deployed in a controlled environment by

qualified personnel, before a vehicle is

scrapped.

Seat belts

45

CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR SMALL CHILDREN

AND BABIES

Children are more likely to receive injuries

from inflating airbags than taller occupants

(see ’Airbag SRS’). For this reason, it is

strongly recommended that infants and

children too small for adult seat belts should

be restrained in the rear of the vehicle in a

child safety seat or restraint system

appropriate to their age and/or size.

All infant and child restraint systems are

designed to be secured in vehicle seats by

means of a lap belt or the lap portion of a

lap/shoulder belt. Always ensure that the

manufacturer’s fitting instructions are

followed exactly.

Accident statistics show that children are safer

when properly restrained in the rear seating

positions than in the front.

WARNING

• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A

REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT BE

INSTALLED IN ANY FRONT PASSENGER

SEAT POSITION. If the passenger airbag

inflates, it could impact with the child

restraint, causing serious injury or

death.

• Children could be endangered in a crash

if their child restraints are not properly

secured in the vehicle.

• DO NOT allow a baby or infant to be

carried on the lap. The force of a crash

can increase effective body weight by as

much as 30 times, making it impossible

to hold on to the child.

• Young adults and children typically

require the use of a booster seat

appropriate to their age and size,

thereby enabling the seat belts to be

properly fitted, reducing the risk of injury

in a crash.

• DO NOT use a child seat that hooks over

the seat back. This type of seat cannot

be satisfactorily secured, and is unlikely

to be safe for your child.

• Never leave a child unattended in your

vehicle.

Seat belts

46

Tether straps

For child seats designed to use a top tether

strap, your Range Rover is equipped with

three tether strap anchorages, located over

the tailgate. These anchorages are designed to

only be used for tether compatible child

restraint systems, fitted in the three rear

seating positions.

Tether strap installation:

1. Verify that the child seat is equipped with

or appropriate for use with top tether

straps. If in doubt, consult the child seat

manufacturer for confirmation.

2. Remove the appropriate tether strap

anchorage cover.

3. Attach the tether strap to the child seat,

following the child seat manufacturer’s

instructions.

4. Install the child seat using the vehicle seat

belt as per the child seat manufacturer’s

instructions.

5. Route the tether strap over the seat back,

under the headrest.

6. Attach the hook to the appropriate tether

strap anchorage point (the one directly

behind the child seat).

7. Tension the tether strap to the child seat

manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: The front and outside rear passenger

seat belts are fitted with a locking mechanism,

to further secure a child seat — see ’Seat belt

locking mechanism’.

WARNING

ALWAYS follow the child seat

manufacturer’s instructions when installing

a tether strap.

Seat belts

47

Seat belt locking mechanism

The seat belts fitted to the front passenger

seat and two outer rear seats, have a special

locking mechanism, which aids the securing

of child restraint systems. The mechanism

used to secure a child restraint is operated as

follows:

1. Attach the seat belt to the child restraint in

accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

2. Insert the metal tongue of the seat belt

into the lock ensuring that it engages with

a ’click’.

3. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt

until it is fully extended.

4. Allow the belt to retract. A ’clicking’ sound

will confirm that the mechanism has

engaged.

5. Remove slack from the mechanism, by

pulling upwards on the shoulder belt,

immediately above the child restraint.

6. Evaluate the tightness of the installation by

rocking the child seat back and forth to

ensure that it is tight and stable.

7. If the child seat needs to be tightened

further, remove the metal tongue of the

seat belt from the buckle and feed some of

the shoulder belt back into the reel (thus

making the belt shorter). Then reattach the

metal tongue into the buckle (if done

properly it will require some effort).

8. Re-evaluate the tightness of the system. If

the child seat is too loose, repeat the

above procedure making the belt

incrementally shorter (and therefore

tighter). It may be necessary to put your

weight onto the seat (to compress the seat

cover) to be able to fasten the belt.

To turn off the child restraint seat belt locking

feature, allow the seat belt to fully retract.

The centre rear seating position is fitted with a

lap belt which can be manually tightened to

secure the infant or child restraint system.

Older children should use the lap/shoulder

belt fitted to the outer seating positions.

Seat belts

48

CARE & MAINTENANCE OF SEAT BELTS

WARNING

• DO NOT allow foreign matter

(particularly sugary food and drink

particles) to enter the seat belt locks —

such substances can render the locks

inoperative.

• Regularly inspect the belt webbing for

signs of fraying, cuts and wear, also

paying particular attention to the

condition of the fixing points and

adjusters.

• DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing.

Clean the webbing using warm water

and non-detergent soap only — allow to

dry naturally and DO NOT retract or use

the belts until they are completely dry.

• Always replace a seat belt that has

withstood the strain of an impact or

shows signs of fraying.

Testing inertia reel belts

From time to time, carry out the following

tests:

1. With the seat belt fastened, give the

webbing near the buckle a quick upward

pull. The buckle must remain securely

locked.

2. With the webbing half unreeled, hold the

tongue plate and give it a quick forward

pull. The mechanism must lock

automatically and prevent any further

unreeling of the belt.

3. With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the

webbing to the limit of its travel. Check

that unreeling is free from snatches and

snags.

If a seat belt should fail any of these tests,

contact your dealer immediately.

SRS/Airbag

49

PO421

This Range Rover is equipped with an airbag

SRS (supplementary restraint system) that

incorporates front and side airbags and a

lap/shoulder belt with pre-tensioners (see

’Seat belts’) at both the driver and front seat

passenger positions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The SRS/Airbags are a supplementary

restraint system that provides

ADDITIONAL protection in certain types

of front and side impact collisions only —

they DO NOT replace the need to wear a

seat belt. To minimize the risk of severe

injury or death in the event of a crash, all

occupants in all seating positions

including the driver should always use

their seat belt (regardless of whether an

airbag is included at that seating position)

Provided the front seat occupants are

correctly seated with seat belts properly worn,

the airbags are a supplementary restraint

system that provides additional protection to

the chest and facial areas in the event of the

vehicle receiving a severe frontal impact, and

to the side of the body facing the impact, if a

severe side collision occurs.

The front airbags are located in the centre pad

of the steering wheel and in the fascia panel

above the glovebox. Side airbags are

positioned in the backrest padding on the

outward side of both front seats (see

illustration).

SRS/Airbag

50

WARNING

Following inflation, some SRS/airbag

components are hot — DO NOT touch until

they have cooled.

Even with SRS/airbag equipment fitted, seat

belts must ALWAYS be worn because:

• An airbag will only provide additional

protection in certain types of front and

side collisions. NO protection is afforded

against the effects of rear impacts, roll

over accidents, or minor frontal impacts.

• Inflation and deflation take place

instantaneously and will not provide

protection against the effects of

secondary impacts that can occur during

multiple vehicle collisions.

WARNING

The airbag module inflates with

considerable speed and force. For your

safety:

An inflating airbag can cause facial

abrasions and other injuries. The injurious

affects of airbag inflation can be minimised,

by ensuring driver and passenger are seated

correctly, with the seat moved back as far as

is practical, and the seat belts worn

correctly.

NEVER attach accessory items to an airbag

module cover, or place items of hand

luggage or any objects on the top of a

module cover; these could interfere with the

inflation of the airbag, or if the airbag

inflates, be propelled inside the vehicle

causing injury to the occupants.

DO NOT allow occupants to obstruct the

operation of the airbag modules by placing

their feet, knees or any part of their person

in contact with, or close to, an airbag

module while the vehicle is moving.

Activation of an airbag creates dust, causing

possible breathing difficulties for asthma

sufferers or other people with respiratory

problems. If an airbag is activated, any

occupant who suffers from breathing

difficulties should; either leave the vehicle

as quickly as possible, or obtain fresh air by

fully opening the windows or doors.

Both front seating positions are equipped

with knee bolsters to provide knee

protection in the event of an impact. DO NOT

modify the bolsters, or mount after market

equipment on or behind them.

SRS/Airbag

51

To ensure correct deployment of the airbags,

it is essential that obstructions are not allowed

to intervene between an airbag and the

occupant. The following are examples of the

type of obstructions that could either, impede

correct operation of the airbags, or jeopardise

personal safety in the event of an airbag

deployment:

• Accessories attached to an airbag cover.

• Items of hand luggage or other objects

placed on an airbag cover.

• Feet, knees or any other part of the

anatomy in contact with, or in close

proximity to, a front airbag cover.

• Head, arms or any part of the anatomy in

contact with, or in close proximity to, a

side airbag.

• Items of clothing or cushions draped over

the part of a front seat containing the

airbag.

• The use of seat covers that are not

approved for seats equipped with side

airbags will REDUCE the effectiveness of

the side airbags in the event of a crash (in

particular, be aware that seat covers

approved for use with Range Rover

vehicles prior to the introduction of side

airbags will NOT be suitable for vehicles

equipped with side airbags! If in doubt,

seek advice from a Land Rover dealer).

How the airbag SRS works

In the event of a collision, the airbag control

unit monitors the rate of deceleration induced

by the collision to determine whether the

airbags should be deployed.

In the case of a severe frontal collision, both

front airbags will be deployed. In the case of a

severe side collision, only the airbag on the

impact side of the vehicle will inflate.

However, there may also be impact conditions

whereby one side and both front airbags

deploy at the same time, or where front and

side airbags respond separately as a result of

a secondary impact occurring after the initial

collision has taken place.

P0405

SRS/Airbag

52

P0406

Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and

occurs with considerable force accompanied

by a loud noise. The inflated airbag, together

with the seat belt restraint system, limit the

occupant’s movement, thereby reducing the

risk of injury to the head and upper torso.

When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is

released. This is not an indication of a

malfunction, however the powder may cause

irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly

flushed from the eyes and any cuts or

abrasions of the skin. After inflation, an airbag

deflates immediately. This provides a gradual

cushioning effect for the occupant and also

ensures that the driver’s forward vision is not

impaired.

WARNING

Following inflation, some airbag SRS

components are hot — DO NOT touch until

they have cooled.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The airbag SRS is not designed to

operate as a result of rear collisions,

minor frontal or minor side impacts, or if

the vehicle overturns; nor will it operate

as a result of heavy braking or driving

over bumps and potholes.

Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent

entirely on the acceleration or

deceleration forces that are applied to the

vehicle’s passenger compartment as a

result of a collision. The circumstances

affecting different collisions (vehicle

speed, angle of impact, type and size of

object hit for example), vary considerably

and will affect the rate of acceleration or

deceleration accordingly.

It follows, therefore, that in some

instances, significant superficial damage

can occur to the vehicle without the

airbags deploying and, conversely, that in

other circumstances, the airbags will

deploy even though the vehicle has

experienced relatively small amounts of

damage. However, if as a result of an

impact, you suspect that the airbags

should have deployed and have failed to

dos so, please call

1 (800) 637-6837

for advice or to arrange for a Land Rover

representative to inspect the vehicle to

verify that the airbag/SRS system

operated correctly.

Airbags will only deploy when they are

required to supplement the restraining

force of the seat belts.

SRS/Airbag

53

Side airbags

Side airbags are designed to protect the

thorax region of the torso and will only deploy

in the event of a severe side impact. They will

NOT inflate as a result of frontal or rear

impacts.

In the event of a severe side collision, the

airbag on the impact side of the vehicle breaks

through the seat covering, rapidly inflating to

form a cushion between the occupant and the

side of the vehicle.

Note that a part of the outer side of the seat

trim (identified by the woven ’airbag’ label) is

manufactured with a specially constructed

seam which enables the airbag to break

through. The manufacture and materials of the

seat are critical to the performance of the

airbag. For this reason, non-approved seat

covers must NEVER be fitted, and it is

recommended that any repair or replacement

to the front seats be carried out by a Land

Rover dealer (see ’Service information’).

Airbag SRS warning light

Whenever the starter switch is turned to

position ’II’, the diagnostic control unit

monitors the readiness of the system’s

electrical circuits. The elements of the system

being monitored include:

• SRS warning light

• Rotary coupler

• Airbag modules

• Seatbelt pre-tensioners

• Airbag diagnostic control unit

• Front crash sensors

• Airbag wiring harnesses

A warning light, mounted on the instrument

pack, will alert you to any malfunction which

might prevent the airbag SRS from operating

correctly in the event of an impact. The

system should always be checked by a dealer

if any of the following symptoms occur:

• The warning light fails to illuminate when

the starter switch is turned to position ’II’.

• The warning light fails to extinguish within

approximately five seconds after the

starter switch is turned to position ’II’.

• The warning light illuminates while the

vehicle is being driven.

NOTE: After the starter switch is turned to

position ’II’, the system’s diagnostic control

unit checks its own memory and the warning

light bulb for faults. If a fault is found, the

warning light will illuminate.

Seating positions

In order to provide optimum protection in the

event of a severe vehicle impact, it is

necessary for the airbags to deploy with

considerable speed.

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions

and other injuries if the occupant is too close

to the airbag at the time of its deployment.

WARNING

To minimise the risk of accidental injury

from inflating airbags, seat belts should be

correctly worn at all times. In addition, both

driver and front seat passenger should

adjust the seat to provide the maximum

practical distance from the front airbags,

and also ensure that a gap is maintained

between the upper torso and the side of the

vehicle to enable unobstructed inflation of

the side airbags.

SRS/Airbag

54

CHILD SEATS

Children aged 12 years and under are more

likely to receive injuries from inflating airbags

than adult occupants. For this reason, it is

recommended that children should always be

seated in the rear of the vehicle in a child

safety seat or restraint system appropriate to

their age and size (see ’Seat belts’).

However, if it is necessary for a child to travel

in the front, set the seat fully rearwards and

use a front facing child seat ONLY.

WARNING

DO NOT USE A REAR FACING CHILD SEAT IN

ANY FRONT SEAT LOCATION. If the

passenger airbag inflates, it could impact

with the child restraint causing serious

injury or death to the child.

Children could be endangered in a crash if

their child restraints are not properly

secured in the vehicle. Be sure to install

child restraints according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.

Under no circumstances should a rear facing

child seat be installed facing forward in any

seating position.

Service information

After a period of time (10 years for front

airbags, and 15 years for side airbags) from

the original date of registration (or the

installation date of a replacement airbag

module), some components will need to be

replaced. Note the ’airbag module replacement

date’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfolio

book. To ensure absolute safety, it is

recommended that this work is carried out by

a Land Rover dealer who should stamp and

sign the appropriate page of the Service

Portfolio book once the work is complete.

In addition, ALWAYS contact your dealer if:

• an airbag inflates

• the front or side of the vehicle is damaged,

even if the corresponding airbag has not

inflated.

• any part of an airbag module cover shows

signs of deterioration or damage.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to service repair, replace,

modify or tamper with any part of the airbag

SRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbag

SRS component; this could cause the

system to activate, resulting in personal

injury.

SRS/Airbag

55

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The components that make up the airbag

SRS are sensitive to electrical or physical

interference, either of which could easily

damage the system and cause inadvertent

operation or a malfunction of any airbag

module.

For your safety it is recommended that

you seek the assistance of a Land Rover

dealer to carry out any of the following:

• Removal or repair of any wiring or

component in the vicinity of any of

the SRS components (yellow wiring

harness), including: the steering

wheel, steering column, front seats,

instrument and fascia panels.

• Installation of electronic equipment

such as a mobile telephone,

two-way radio or in-car

entertainment system.

• Attachment of accessories to the

front or side of the vehicle such as a

winch or brushbar.

• Modification to the front or side of

the vehicle.

• Removal or replacement or

retrimming of a front seat or seat

cover.

Disposing of vehicles

If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the

new owner that the vehicle has an airbag SRS,

and make the new owner aware of the airbag

module replacement date shown on page 2 of

the Service Portfolio book.

If the vehicle is to be scrapped: uninflated

airbags are potentially very dangerous and

must be safely deployed in a controlled

environment by qualified personnel BEFORE a

vehicle is scrapped.

Steering column

56

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to adjust the steering

column while the vehicle is in motion. This

is extremely dangerous.

STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT

the RED segment, a RED warning light in the

temperature gauge illuminates. Should the

pointer move INTO the red segment, stop the

vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek

qualified assistance before continuing.

7. Fuel gauge

The pointer drops to zero when the starter

switch is turned off, but quickly rises to show

the level of fuel in the tank when the switch is

turned to position ’II’. After refuelling, the

gauge rapidly changes to reflect the increase

of fuel in the tank.

An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates on which

side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is located.

NOTE: The gauge may not indicate fuel level

increases of 4 US gallons (15 litres) or less.

When the fuel remaining in the tank is a

minimum of 2.4 gallons (9 litres), the AMBER

warning light will illuminate. If the light

illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity.

Fuel tank capacity is approximately 25 usable

US gallons (93 litres).

the starter switch is turned to

position ’II’ and extinguishes when the engine

is running. If it remains on, or illuminates

when driving, a fault is indicated. Seek

qualified assistance urgently.

Trailer direction indicators —

GREEN.

This light is only operative when

a trailer is connected to the vehicle via a

multi-pin socket. The light flashes in

conjunction with the vehicle direction

indicators, thus confirming that the trailer

indicator lights are operating correctly. In the

event of the failure of a trailer direction

indicator light, the warning light will not

illuminate.

Low engine oil pressure — RED.

Illuminates as a bulb check when

the starter switch is turned to

position ’II’, and extinguishes when the engine

is running. If it remains on when the engine is

transfer gearbox has completed a change

from one range of gears to another.

DO NOT release the brakes or move the

selector lever out of ’N’ into one of the drive

positions until the light stops flashing.

ABS — YELLOW.

This light illuminates for

approximately 1 second when the

starter switch is turned to position ’II’, and

then briefly extinguishes before coming on

again. The warning light will then remain

illuminated until the vehicle is driven above

approximately 5 mph (7 km/h). If the light

does not extinguish and then illuminate again,

then a fault has occurred with the ABS system

and you should consult your Land Rover

dealer at the earliest opportunity.

If the light remains illuminated once a speed

of 5 mph (7km/h) has been reached, or

subsequently illuminates whilst driving, a fault

has been detected by the self-monitoring

system. The message centre will display ’ABS

FAULT’; this means that full ABS control may

not be available, and you should consult your

extinguishing as soon as traction control

ceases. The light flashing (for at least ten

seconds), indicates that the system has been

over-used; it will be available again once the

system components have cooled.

If the light illuminates continuously, a fault

with the system is indicated; seek qualified

assistance.

Direction indicators — GREEN.

The left or right warning light

flashes in time with the

corresponding left or right direction

indicators, whenever they are operated. A

warning light flashing at twice the normal

speed, indicates that a direction indicator bulb

has failed (the message centre will indicate

which bulb is faulty). If a trailer is connected

and a rear indicator bulb fails, then the

message will not be displayed. When the

hazard switch is pressed, both warning lights

will illuminate in conjunction with the indicator

lights.

Headlight high beam — BLUE.

This light illuminates whenever

the high beam headlights are on.
