Before You Drive
B efore Yo u DriveREPORTING 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 retailer 
or Land Rover North America.
AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto 
Safety HOTLINE toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 
202-366-0123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or 
write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of 
Transportation, Washington, DC 20590. You 
can also obtain other information about motor 
vehicle safety from the HOTLINE.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and 
certain vehicle components contain or emit 
chemicals known to the State of California to 
cause cancer and birth defects or other 
reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids 
contained in vehicles and certain products of 
component wear contain or emit chemicals 
known to the State of California to cause 
cancer, and birth defects or other 
reproductive harm.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related 
accessories contain lead and lead 
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
BEFORE YOU DRIVE
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 vehicle is not designed for cornering at 
the same speed as conventional passenger 
cars any more than a low slung sports car is 
designed to perform satisfactorily under 
off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid 
sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres. As with 
other vehicles of this type, failure to operate 
the Range Rover correctly may result in loss 
of control or vehicle rollover. For important 
safety information, be sure to read the 
‘On-Road’ and ‘Off-Road’ driving guidelines 
given later in this handbook.

identification information, details of your 
entitlement under the terms of the Land Rover 
Warranty, as well as useful consumer advice.
Most important of all, however, is the section 
on maintenance. This outlines the servicing 
requirements for your vehicle and also includes 
the service record slips, which the retailer 
should sign and stamp to certify the routine 
services have been carried out.

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
While it may be difficult to deter the 
‘professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts are 
carried out by unskilled opportunists. 
Therefore, take vehicle security very seriously 
and ALWAYS adopt this simple ‘four point’ drill 
whenever you leave your vehicle - even for just 
a few minutes:
1.Fully close all the windows (and the 
sunroof).
2.Remove your valuable belongings (or hide 
them out of sight).
3.Remove the starter key.
4.Superlock the vehicle using the remote 
handset.
Thieves are attracted by ‘vulnerable’ vehicles. 
Even if you have followed the ‘four point’ drill, 
there is still much you can do to make your 
vehicle a less inviting target.
BE SAFE - NOT SORRY!
•Park where your vehicle can be easily seen 
by householders and passers-by.
•At night, park in well lit areas and avoid 
deserted or dimly-lit side streets.
•NEVER leave the keys in the vehicle.
•Do not keep important documents (or spare 
keys) in the vehicle - these are a real bonus 
for the thief.
IN AN EMERGENCY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Remember the breakdown safety code
If a breakdown occurs while travelling:
•Wherever possible, consistent with 
road safety and traffic conditions, the 
vehicle should be moved off the main 
thoroughfare, preferably onto the 
shoulder as far as possible. 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 
areas).
•Consider evacuating passengers 
through the doors facing away from 
traffic, to a safe area away from the 
vehicle as a precaution in case your 
Range Rover is accidentally struck by 
another vehicle.

Controls & Instruments
Facia ControlsKEYS AND HANDSETS 
You have been supplied with two remote 
handsets with integral keys which operate all 
locks and an emergency key, designed to fit into 
a wallet or purse. The emergency key can be 
used to open the doors only and has no remote 
functionality.
NOTE: The emergency key should not be used 
for extended periods of time.
The keys supplied with your vehicle are 
programmed to your security system - they 
CANNOT be re-programmed and the engine 
cannot be started without a key programmed to 
your vehicle. If a key is lost or broken, a 
replacement can only be obtained from a Land 
Rover retailer.
NOTE: Land Rover retailers do not stock spare 
keys, time has to be allowed for replacements 
to be programmed to your security system and 
then delivered to the retailer.
If you lose a key, contact your Land Rover 
retailer; a key reported lost will be deactivated. 
If the key is recovered, your retailer can have it 
reactivated.
NOTE: Keep the emergency key and spare 
handset key in a safe place - NOT IN THE 
VEHICLE!
