Introduction
This handbook, together with the Passport to Service book, provides information you will need to 
derive maximum pleasure from owning and driving your new vehicle.
For your convenience, the handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a particular aspect of 
driving or caring for the vehicle. These are listed on the contents page and you will find it worthwhile 
to take a little time to read each one, and get to know your Range Rover as soon as you possibly can. 
The more you understand before you drive, the greater the satisfaction once you are seated behind 
the steering wheel.
* An asterisk appearing within the text identifies features or items of equipment that are either 
optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range.
     IMPORTANT
The specification of each vehicle will vary according to territorial requirements and also from model 
to model within the vehicle range. Some of the information published in this handbook, therefore, 
may not apply to your particular vehicle.
Land Rover operates a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without 
notice at any time. Whilst every effort is made to ensure complete accuracy of the information in this handbook, no liabilities for 
inaccuracies or the consequences thereof can be accepted by the manufacturer or the retailer, except in respect of personal injury 
caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the retailer.

Quick Guide
Quick OverviewUSING THE REMOTE HANDSETUnlocking
Your vehicle may be configured for Single point 
entry. This personal security feature unlocks 
only the driver’s door and disarms the alarm 
when the handset unlock button (1) is pressed 
once.
To unlock all the remaining doors, press the 
handset button a second time.
If the ‘Lazy’ unlock feature is enabled, a 
continuous press of the unlock button (1) will 
also lower all windows, followed by opening of 
the sunroof. 
Release the button to stop the sequence.
Your Land Rover retailer can disable Single 
point entry so that a single press of the handset 
button will open all doors and disable the alarm. 
See ‘Single point entry’, page 35.
The ‘Lazy’ locking/unlocking feature can also be 
disabled/enabled by your Land Rover retailer. 
See ‘Lazy locking/unlocking*’, page 38.
Locking
Press the lock button (2) once to lock all doors, 
arm the alarm system and activate the tilt 
sensor. 
If interior space protection or the tilt sensor are 
not required, press the lock button twice.
If the ‘Lazy’ locking feature is enabled, all 
windows and the sunroof can be closed 
simultaneously with a press and hold of the 
lock button. 
See ‘Handset buttons’, page 33.
When the locking sequence is completed, the 
direction indicator lights and the side repeater 
lights will flash once. Also the anti-theft alarm 
indicator light built into the rear view mirror, 
will start to flash at a slow rate.
