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. 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 vehicle has a higher ground clearance and, hence, a higher centre of gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This will result in different handling characteristics. Inexperienced drivers should take additional care, particularly in off-road driving situations and when performing abrupt manoeuvres on unstable surfaces. 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 utilises very high voltages. DO NOT touch any ignition components while the starter switch is turned on! 3 Introduction ENGINE COMPARTMENT INFORMATION LABELS Various labels are fixed to your vehicle to draw your attention to specific safety information. The following are of particular importance: A. AIR CONDITIONING B. KEEP CLEAR OF ROTATING PARTS C. VIN LABEL - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER D. BONNET OPENING AND CLOSING INSTRUCTIONS On vehicles with an airbag SRS, remember to take careful note of warning information labels that may be attached to the sun visor or other parts of the vehicle. 4 Introduction VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) If you need to communicate with a Land Rover dealer, you may be asked to quote the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN (and recommended maximum vehicle weights) is stamped on a label fixed to the top panel above the left hand headlight (viewed from the driver's seat). This should also match the VIN recorded in the Service Portfolio book. In addition, as a deterrent to car thieves and to assist the police, the VIN is also stamped on a plate which is visible through the left side of the windscreen. 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. A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) B. Gross vehicle weight (where required) C. Gross train weight (where required) D. Maximum front axle load (where required) E. Maximum rear axle load (where required) · 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. 5 Introduction 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 into a lay-by. If a breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to the inside of the hard 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 countries). · Consider evacuating passengers through nearside doors onto the verge as a precaution should your Range Rover be struck by another vehicle. 6 SECTION 2 Controls & instruments 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.

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 'Lazy 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). The handset The radio remote handset has three buttons. 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. 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. 10 Locks & alarm · 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. 1. Press to release the key, which can then be used as a conventional key to operate the starter switch, glovebox and door locks. NOTE: If the sensor fails its self-check five times consecutively, only the 'perimetric' elements of the security system will be active (doors, bonnet 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. Switching off the alarm sounder If the alarm is triggered, it can be turned off in three ways: 2. Lock button (padlock symbol) · press once to lock. · press twice to 'superlock'. · press and hold to 'lazy lock' (see 'Lazy locking' ). 3. Unlock button · Press the lock button once. · Press the unlock button once. · Turn the key in the driver's door to the 'unlock' position (towards the front of the vehicle). · press once to unlock. · press and hold to operate the 'lazy seat' facility (see 'Lazy seats'). Once the security system is armed, the central locking system locks all the doors and the tailgate, the perimetric alarm (protecting the doors, bonnet and tailgate) is armed, and the engine is immobilised. 11 Locks & alarm 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. 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 bonnet 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. 'Superlocking' using the handset: Press and release the 'lock' button (1) on the handset twice (within 11/2 seconds). After 15 seconds you will hear 'superlocking' engage. If any door, the bonnet 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 emergency key access code (see 'Emergency key access'). NOTE: Occasional atmospheric conditions can significantly reduce the effective range of handset operation. If this occurs, operate the handset closer to the vehicle. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to touch the handset against the radio aerial 'fired' onto one of the rear side windows. 12 Locks & alarm '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 11/2 seconds. 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: '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 bonnet, 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 be used to unlock a 'superlocked' vehicle, but before the engine can be started, it will be necessary to release the engine immobilisation function by entering the emergency key access code (see 'Emergency key access'). IMPORTANT INFORMATION If unattended passengers are to be left in the vehicle, DO NOT superlock. Unattended passengers 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. DO NOT leave children unattended in the vehicle! 13 NOTE: 'Sill' locking (also known as slam locking) is NOT possible from outside the vehicle. Locks & alarm ENGINE IMMOBILISATION Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the Range Rover's 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. The engine is automatically immobilised whenever any of the following conditions occur. 1. When the vehicle is locked using the handset or key. 2. Thirty seconds after the starter switch has been turned off AND the driver's door opened. 3. Ten minutes after the starter switch has been turned off (even if the key remains in the starter switch and the driver's door has not opened). IMPORTANT INFORMATION It is virtually impossible to leave the car unattended or attended without the engine being immobilised automatically. For this reason it is important that all drivers are fully aware of the following: The engine is re-mobilised by pressing the 'unlock' button on the handset or inserting the key in the starter switch. If the handset is lost or damaged and fails to operate, the engine must be re-mobilised by entering the emergency key access code before the vehicle can be driven (see 'Emergency key access'). 14 Locks & alarm EMERGENCY KEY ACCESS If the handset is lost or fails to operate, the engine can be re-mobilised by using the key to enter a unique four digit emergency key access code. The code is recorded on the Security Information card and is entered as follows: 1. Using the key, turn the driver's door lock to the LOCK position 4 times and return the key to the centre position (as shown) after each turn of the key. It is now possible to use the key to enter the separate numerical values of the four digits that make up the emergency key access code. IMPORTANT INFORMATION When entering a code: 2. Enter the FIRST digit of the code. If the first digit is 4, turn the key to the UNLOCK position 4 times. Ensure the key is FULLY returned to the centre position after each turn of the key. 3. Enter the SECOND digit of the code. If the second digit is 3, turn the key to the LOCK position 3 times. Remember; the key must be FULLY returned to the centre position after each turn of the key. 4. Enter the THIRD digit of the code. If the third digit is 2, turn the key to the UNLOCK position twice, ensuring that the key is FULLY returned to the centre position after each turn of the key. 5. Enter the FOURTH digit of the code. If the fourth digit is 1, turn the key to the LOCK position once. Ensure the key is FULLY returned to the centre position after the key has been turned. 6. FINALLY, turn the key to the UNLOCK position once more to disarm the alarm and re-mobilise the engine. If the code has been entered successfully, the anti-theft alarm indicator light will extinguish, the doors will unlock and the engine can be started. · ENSURE each key movement is carried out with care and precision and turned through the full extent of its travel. · After turning the key to either the lock or unlock positions, make sure it is FULLY returned to the centre (vertical) position. · If you forget your place in the sequence of key operations and, therefore, do not complete a code, open and then shut the door and start entering the code again (this will not count as a failed attempt). 15 Locks & alarm NOTE: During the access procedure, the anti-theft indicator light will continue to flash (indicating that the alarm is still partially armed). NOTE: If the handset is inoperable, the emergency key access code must be entered EVERY time you need to start the engine. If an incorrect code has been entered: If the code has been entered incorrectly, the anti-theft alarm indicator light will continue to flash. In this case, return to '1' and re-enter the code. After three failed entry attempts, the security system invokes a delay period of thirty minutes during which the system will not accept any further attempts to enter a code. WARNING · NEVER leave the Security Information card in the vehicle. · Memorise the emergency key access code or keep the Security Information card on your person in case of emergencies (a damaged handset for example). 16 Locks & alarm MISLOCK A mislock will occur if: LAZY SEATS The lazy seat facility is available only on vehicles fitted with a driver's seat memory. The facility 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'). · A door, bonnet or tailgate are left open. · The key is left in the starter switch. · An incomplete 'lazy lock' 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. LAZY LOCKING 'Lazy locking' enables you to use the handset or key to close the windows and sunroof at the same time as you secure the vehicle. To operate lazy locking: 1. Ensure the doors, bonnet and tailgate are properly closed. 2. With the handset - press and hold the 'lock' button (press twice and hold on the second press if 'superlocking'). With the key - turn and hold the key in the 'lock' position. The doors and tailgate will lock and the windows, followed by the sunroof will close. NOTE: If additional handset/keys have been obtained (key 3 and key 4), they are not linked to the memory seat system. Press and hold the 'unlock' button on the handset for 11/2 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: 'Lazy seats' 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. 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 'lazy lock' again. 17 Locks & alarm 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. 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. 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. 18 Locks & alarm 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 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. Always check for fuel leaks before resetting the switch! 19 Locks & alarm 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: Insert the handset key into the starter switch; the handset will then be resynchronised. Handset batteries When the batteries need replacing, the message centre will display 'KEY BATTERY LOW'. To replace: NOTE: Handset synchronisation cannot be achieved if the vehicle alarm is armed or if the handset batteries need replacing. · 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. 20 Tailgate CLOSING THE TAILGATE Raise the lower tailgate first and close firmly. Then lower and close the upper tailgate. WARNING Do not drive with the tailgate open; poisonous carbon monoxide fumes will enter the vehicle. Always check that the tailgate is secure before driving and before leaving the vehicle unattended. 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. If this occurs, access to the loadspace can only be achieved by folding the rear seats from inside the vehicle (see 'Seats'). 21 Message centre Driver warning and information messages are displayed on the message centre in the lower part of the instrument pack. Messages have different priority levels and are grouped into the following categories. CRITICAL WARNINGS Critical warning messages are accompanied by an audible warning (three beeps). Messages are displayed continuously while the starter switch is turned on, and remain displayed while the fault persists. DO NOT ignore these messages - TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION IMMEDIATELY! Critical warnings are displayed continuously, normally on the lower line of the message centre, but if more than one message is to be displayed, then the upper display line will also be used. WARNINGS Warning messages are non-critical, but must be treated with some urgency. They will also be accompanied by an audible warning (three beeps) each time the message is displayed. DO NOT ignore these messages - TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. Warning messages are displayed for approximately 4 seconds. If other warning messages are pending, the display time will be reduced to approximately 2 seconds. 22 INFORMATION MESSAGES General All information messages are displayed for approximately 4 seconds. If other messages are pending, the display time will be reduced to approximately 2 seconds. Note that 'Critical Warning' and 'Warning' messages always override 'Information' messages. These information messages are grouped into three categories: Category 1 Messages in this category will be accompanied by a single beep when the message is displayed for the first time, and also when the starter switch is turned on or off. At any other time, only the message will be presented - TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Category 2 Messages in this category will be accompanied by a single beep each time the message is displayed - TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

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. Backrest movement Rotate the handwheel to achieve the desired backrest angle. Forward/backward movement Raise the lever to slide the seat forward or back. Ensure that the seat is locked in position before driving. Height adjustment (driver only) Extend the lever and either pull or push to set the seat base to the desired height. 33 Seats Head restraint adjustment Head restraints are designed to restrain rearward movement of the head in the event of a collision. Depress the button to raise or lower. Tilt the angle of the restraint to ensure it is as close to the back of the head as possible. WARNING 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. · DO NOT drive with the head restraints removed. · ALWAYS adjust the height of the head restraint to support the back of the head, NOT the neck. 34 Seats POWER OPERATED FRONT SEATS (where fitted) Seat adjustment is only possible when the starter switch is turned to positions 'I' or 'II' or with a front door open when the starter switch is at position '0'. 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 To avoid the risk of loss of control, DO NOT adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion.

Seat cushion height Push the switch up or down to raise or lower the cushion. 35 Seats 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 behind the head to be effective. 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. 36 Seats 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. DRIVER'S SEAT/MIRRORS MEMORY FACILITY (where fitted) 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: Not all electric seat installations include the seat and mirror memory facilities. WARNING Before activating the seat/mirror memory, ensure that the area immediately surrounding the seats is clear of obstructions. 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. 37 Seats 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. Passenger seat memories (if fitted) 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 level. · The message centre will not confirm the storing of a memory position. · Automatic transmission: the one-touch function is NOT available when the engine is running and the gearshift lever is out of 'P' (park). · Manual transmission: the one-touch function is NOT available when the engine is running. Lazy seats The lazy 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 11/2 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 11/2 seconds causes the driver's seat and both mirrors to move to the position stored by memory switch 2. 38 Seats 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. 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. 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 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. position it will not be possible to raise the backrest. WARNING When the seat is erected, the latching mechanism should be visually checked and physically tested to ensure that the latch is secure before driving. 39 Seats Rear seat armrest Pull on the tab at the top of the armrest and fold down to the horizontal position. 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 restaint to ensure it is as close to the back of the head as possible. WARNING Always adjust the height of the head restraint to support the back of the head, not the neck. DO NOT carry passengers with the head restraints removed. 40 Seat belts SEAT BELT SAFETY Seat belts are life-saving equipment. In a collision, unrestrained passengers can be thrown around inside the vehicle, or possibly thrown out of the vehicle, resulting in injury to themselves and to other occupants. DO NOT take chances with safety! · DO use the seat belts to secure large items of luggage that are to be carried on the seats - in the event of an accident, insecure items become flying missiles capable of causing serious injury. · DO NOT fit more than one person into a seat belt, or fit a seat belt that is twisted or obstructed in any way that could impede its smooth operation. · DO make sure that ALL passengers are securely strapped in at all times; even for the shortest journeys. · DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularly sugary food or drink particles) to enter the seat belt locks; such substances can render the seat belt locks inoperative. · ALWAYS adjust seat belts to eliminate any slack in the webbing and to ensure that the diagonal belt passes across the shoulder without slipping off or pressing on the neck. · Pregnant women should ask a doctor for advice about the safest way to wear seat belts. WARNING 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 an accident. The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) (where fitted) is designed to add to the overall effectiveness of the seat belts, it DOES NOT replace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYS BE WORN. · ALWAYS fit the lap belt strap as low on the hips as possible (never across the abdomen). · DO NOT slacken the webbing by pulling the belt away from the body - to be fully effective, the seat belt must remain in full contact with the body at all times. · DO have seat belts checked if the vehicle is involved in an accident. · 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. 41 Seat belts Fastening inertia reel seat belts Draw the belt over the shoulder and across the chest, and insert the metal tongue plate into the lock nearest the wearer; a 'click' indicates that the belt is securely locked. 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 the normal UPRIGHT position; DO NOT allow the front passenger to travel with the seat steeply reclined. 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 the upper illustration) to raise or lower. For maximum benefit, 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 has 'clicked' into one of the locked positions before driving. 42 Fastening 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 to the centre of the vehicle. Seat belts Infant and child restraints 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. When installing and using any infant or child restraint system, always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Failure to properly secure the child restraint system can endanger the child in a collision or sudden stop and cause injury to other passengers. The centre rear seating position is fitted with a lap belt which can be manually tightened to secure an infant or child restraint system. Older children should use the lap/shoulder belt fitted to the outer rear seating positions. Never leave a child unattended in your vehicle. WARNING Infants and children too small for seat belts should be restrained in a child safety seat or restraint system appropriate to their age and/or size, and which is approved for use in your vehicle. Always ensure that the manufacturer's fitting instructions are followed exactly. · 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. · DO NOT use a child seat that 'hooks' over a seat back, it is not secure! · Accident statistics show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front. However, if a forward facing child seat suitable for the size of child is available and it is necessary for a child to travel in the front, set the seat fully rearwards and use an approved FORWARD FACING child seat - DO NOT INSTALL REARWARD FACING CHILD SEATS IN ANY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT POSITION. The above symbol affixed to the fascia panel of your vehicle, warns against the use of a REAR FACING child seat in the front passenger seat, when a passenger airbag is fitted. This type of child seat could cause serious injury to your child in the event of an airbag deployment. 43 Seat belts Caring for seat belts 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 the belts or use the vehicle until they are completely dry. Testing inertia reel seat 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 seat belt fastened, sit back in the seat and ensure any slack has been rewound. Then move the upper body sharply forward from the hips - 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. WARNING Always replace a seat belt that has withstood the strain of an impact or shows signs of fraying. 44 Airbag SRS The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) provides additional protection for the driver, and front seat passenger, in the event of a severe frontal impact on the vehicle. Always remember: the airbag is a supplementary restraint system that provides ADDITIONAL protection in a frontal impact only; it does NOT replace the need to wear a seat belt. For maximum safety protection in all crash situations, a seat belt must be worn. 45 Airbag SRS If the impact is sufficiently severe, the system causes each airbag to inflate. Inflation is instantaneous and accompanied by a loud noise. Also evident, may be traces of smoke and powder, which do not indicate a malfunction of the airbag. An airbag will not inflate as a result of heavy braking, minor bumps or pot holes. After inflation, the airbags will immediately deflate, thereby ensuring that visibility is not impaired. WARNING Following inflation some airbag SRS components are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled. How the airbag SRS works The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) includes twin airbag modules (shown in illustration) to protect both the driver and the front seat passenger. In the event of a collision involving a frontal impact, the airbag control unit crash sensor monitors the deceleration caused by the impact and determines whether the airbag SRS should be activated. 46 Airbag SRS IMPORTANT INFORMATION Even with an airbag SRS fitted, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn because: · Airbags will only provide additional protection in severe frontal collisions. No protection is afforded against the effects of side or rear impacts, roll over accidents or minor frontal impacts. · CHILD SEATS: Do not use a rear facing child seat in the front passenger seat. The inflating airbag could impact with the seat causing injury to the child. If it is necessary for a child to travel in the front, set the seat fully rearwards and ONLY use an approved FORWARD FACING child seat. Airbag SRS warning light 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 a frontal impact. The system should always be checked by a dealer if any of the following symptoms occur: · Inflation and deflation take place instantaneously and will not provide protection against the effects of secondary impacts that can occur during multiple vehicle collisions. The airbag module inflates with considerable speed and force. For your safety: · NEVER attach accessory items to an airbag module cover, or place items of hand luggage or any objects on 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. · The warning light fails to illuminate when the starter switch is turned to position 'II'. · The warning light fails to extinguish within approximately eight seconds after the starter switch is turned to position 'II'. · DO NOT allow occupants to obstruct the operation of the airbag modules by placing their feet, knees or any other part of their person in contact with, or in close proximity to, an airbag module while the vehicle is in motion. · The warning light illuminates or flashes 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 pulse. 47 Airbag SRS Service information After a period of ten years some airbag components will need to be changed (note the 'airbag modules replacement date' shown on page 2 of the Owner Information & Service Record book). To ensure absolute safety, this work must ONLY be carried out by a Land Rover dealer, who should stamp and sign the appropriate page of the Owner Information & Service Record book once the work is complete. In addition, ALWAYS contact your dealer if: 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 the airbag module. ALWAYS 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, instrument and fascia panels. · an airbag inflates. · the front of the vehicle is damaged, even if the airbag has not inflated. · any part of an airbag module cover (the steering wheel centre pad or the passenger side fascia panel) shows signs of cracking or damage. WARNING Do NOT attempt to service, repair, replace or modify any part of the airbag SRS; tampering could cause inadvertent activation of the system resulting in personal injury. · Installation of electronic equipment such as a mobile telephone, two-way radio or in-car entertainment system. · Attachment of accessories to the front of the vehicle. · Modification to the front of the vehicle. In addition: If you sell your Range Rover, 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 in the Owner Information & Service Record book. If the vehicle is to be scrapped: uninflated airbags are potentially very dangerous and must be safely deployed in a controlled environment BEFORE a vehicle is scrapped. 48 Steering column WARNING DO NOT attempt to carry out the following adjustments while the vehicle is in motion. This is extremely dangerous. STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT Adjust the angle and height of the steering column to suit your driving position: 1. Fully withdraw the lever and then pull it towards the steering wheel rim. 2. Keeping the lever in this position, tilt the steering column up or down to the required angle and pull or push to extend or retract the steering wheel. 3. Release the lever to lock the column in position when a comfortable driving position has been achieved 49 Door mirrors Automatic dipping for reverse gear selection (if fitted) Vehicles with a driver's seat memory have a pre-stored function which causes the mirrors to dip automatically whenever reverse gear is selected. If necessary the mirror positions can be altered as follows: 1. Turn the starter switch to position 'I' or 'II' (do not start the engine). 2. Select reverse gear. 3. Adjust either or both mirrors to the desired positions. ELECTRICALLY-OPERATED DOOR MIRRORS 1. Slide the switch left or right to select the appropriate mirror. 2. With the starter switch turned to position 'I' or 'II', press the appropriate side of the rocker switch to tilt the mirror glass up/down/left or right. 4. Press the seat MEMORY STORE switch together with either switch 1 or 2 (whichever corresponds with the driver's seat memory) for 2 seconds (the message centre displays 'MIRROR DIP STORE'). NOTE: If your vehicle has an electrically-operated driver's seat, then the positions of the mirrors can be set in conjunction with the driver's seat positions (see 'Seats'). NOTE: Door mirrors have integral heating elements which disperse ice or mist from the glass. This function operates continuously while the engine is running. 50
