Locks & AlarmKEYS AND HANDSETSYou have been supplied with two remotehandsets with integral keys which operate alllocks.

The key number is stamped on a tag attached tothe key ring. Check that the key number hasbeen entered in the space provided on yourSecurity card.

If the remote handset is lost, contact a LandRover dealer, who can supply replacementunits.

WARNING

Keep the Security card and spare handset in asafe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE!

ALARM SYSTEMYour vehicle is fitted with a sophisticatedelectronic anti-theft alarm and engineimmobilisation system. There are also anumber of additional security features, some ofwhich are selectable options and some arestandard features of the vehicle. In order toensure maximum security and operatingconvenience, you are strongly advised to gain afull understanding of the features andalternatives available, by thoroughly readingthis section of the handbook.

Using the remote handset

While it is not necessary to point the handset atthe vehicle, the handset must be within range ofthe vehicle when a button is pressed. Note thatthe operating range may vary depending upon

handset battery condition and may sometimesbe limited by physical and geographical factorsbeyond your control. From a security point ofview, it may not be wise to unlock unless youare within a few feet of the vehicle.

LockingWith the remote handset: Press the lock (padlock symbol) button once:• all doors are superlocked (see

‘ Superlocking ’ , page 30 )• engine immobilised• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, bonnet and taildoor)• interior space protection* activatedThe direction indicator lights flash three timesto confirm that the vehicle is secure and theanti-theft alarm indicator light (in theinstrument panel) starts to flash.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY ALWAYSSUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THEREMOTE HANDSET (except whenpassengers are to be left inside or if it isnecessary to leave a window or sunroofopen).

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

This light provides information about the statusof the alarm system, as follows:

When the vehicle is locked: The light flashes rapidly while the alarm isarming itself. After ten seconds, the light

adjusts to a slower frequency and continues toflash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm isdisarmed.

If the engine is immobilised (even though thealarm has been disarmed): The light flashes slowly until the engine isremobilised.

If the alarm has been triggered: The light will flash rapidly when the alarm isdisarmed until the starter switch is turned toposition II.

If the remote handset battery power is low: The light will flash rapidly for ten seconds afterthe handset has been used when the driver'sdoor is opened.

MislockIf the driver's door is not fully closed when thehandset lock button is pressed, the alarmsounder or vehicle horn will sound once,indicating a mislock. In this case, none of the

doors will lock and the alarm system will not bearmed.

If a passenger door or other aperture is not fullyclosed when the handset lock button ispressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn willsound once, indicating a mislock. However, the‘partial arming’ attributes of the security systemwill enable as much of the system to be armedas possible (all fully closed door or bonnet

apertures will be protected, but an open doorwill not!). As soon as the open aperture isclosed, the system will automatically revert to afully armed state.

NOTE:If a mislock occurs as a result of an opendoor, the superlocking and interior spaceprotection * features will not be activated.

The mislock audible warning can bedisabled by a Land Rover dealer.

If the alarm soundsIf the alarm is triggered, the alarm sounder orvehicle horn will sound for 30 seconds beforeswitching off and resetting itself to the sameprotection status that existed prior to the alarmbeing triggered.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATIONEngine immobilisation is an important aspect ofthe security system and includes a featureknown as ‘passive immobilisation’. This isdesigned to safeguard the vehicle from theft,

should the driver forget to lock the doors andprevents the engine from being started unlessthe GENUINE handset key is inserted into thestarter switch. Engine immobilisation isautomatic whenever any of the followingconditions occur.• The vehicle is locked using handset or key.• Thirty seconds after the starter switch has

been turned off AND the driver's door

opened.• Five minutes after the starter switch is

turned off, or the alarm system is disarmed.

NOTE:The engine will be re-mobilisedautomatically whenever the genuine handsetkey is inserted into the starter switch andturned to position ‘ II ’ .

Emergency key accessIf the handset is damaged, or fails to operate,the engine can be re-mobilised by using the keyto enter a unique four number emergency keyaccess code. The code is recorded on theSecurity Information card and is entered asfollows:

1. Ensure that all doors areclosed, then using the key turnthe driver's door lock to theUNLOCK position (towards thefront of the car) and hold inthis position for at least

5 seconds until the alarm sounder soundsonce). Then return the key to the centreposition. It is now possible to use the key toenter the separate numerical values of the fournumbers that make up the emergency keyaccess code.

2. Enter the FIRST number ofthe code. If the first number is

4, turn the key (towards thefront of the car) to the UNLOCKposition 4 times. Ensure thekey is FULLY returned to the

centre position after each turn.


When entering a code:• ENSURE each key movement is carried

out with care and precision and turnedto the full extent of its travel.• After turning the key to either the lock

or unlock positions, make sure it isFULLY returned to the centre (vertical)position.

• An interval of 10 seconds or morebetween key turns, or the key beingheld in a locked or unlocked position

for 5 seconds or more will cancel anentry attempt, in which case you muststart again with operation 1.

3. Enter the SECOND numberof the code. If the secondnumber is 3, turn the key(towards the rear) to the LOCKposition 3 times. Remember;

the key must be FULLYreturned to the centre position after each turn.

4. Enter the THIRD number ofthe code. If the third number is12, turn the key to the UNLOCKposition twelve times,ensuring that the key is FULLYreturned to the centre position

after each turn.

5. Enter the FOURTH numberof the code. If the fourthnumber is 1, turn the key to theLOCK position once. Ensurethe key is FULLY returned tothe centre position.

6. Finally, turn the key to theunlock position once more. Ifthe code has been enteredcorrectly, a double ‘bleep’ willsound (a single ‘bleep’ indicates that the code has

been entered incorrectly).

NOTE:If the Mislock audible warning has beendeselected (by a Land Rover dealer), the alarmsounder will not sound when an EKA code hasbeen entered. Instead, the alarm indicator lighton the instrument panel will flash once (for onesecond) to indicate a successful code entry.

There is now a five-minute delay before thealarm and engine immobiliser are deactivated.DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TOENTER THE VEHICLE YET!

7. Through the driver's door window, observethe anti-theft alarm indicator light on theinstrument panel. If code entry was successful,this light will continue flashing (once every twoseconds) for the five minute delay period.

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TOENTER THE VEHICLE until the full delay periodhas elapsed - this will be indicated by theanti-theft alarm indicator light extinguishing.

8. Now open the door, insert the key into thestarter and turn the switch to position ‘II’ IMMEDIATELY! If the starter switch is notturned to position ‘II’ within 30 seconds of theindicator light extinguishing, the engine willautomatically immobilise again.

If an incorrect code has been entered: If an incorrect code has been entered, the alarmsounder will sound once and the anti-theftalarm indicator light will continue to flash. Inthis case, return to operation ‘1’ and re-enterthe code.

After three failed entry attempts, the security

system invokes a delay period of ten minutesduring which the system will not accept anyfurther attempts to enter a code.

SeatBeltsSEAT BELT SAFETYThe seat belts fitted to the front and second rowseats are intended for use by adult sizedoccupants. Each belt should be used by oneoccupant only.

Observe the following precautions:• DO make sure ALL passengers are securely

strapped in at all times - even for theshortest journeys.

• ALWAYS adjust seat belts to eliminate anyslack in the webbing. DO NOT slacken thewebbing by holding the belt away from thebody - to be fully effective, the seat beltmust remain in full contact with the body atall times.

• ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on the hipsas possible (never across the abdomen),and ensure that the diagonal belt passesacross the shoulder without slipping off orpressing on the neck.

• DO NOT wear seat belts over hard, sharp orfragile items in clothing, such as pens, keys,spectacles etc.

• Always replace a seat belt assembly that haswithstood the strain of a severe vehicleimpact, or if the webbing shows signs offraying.

• Where possible use the seat belts to securelarge items of luggage that are to be carriedon the seats - in the event of an accident,insecure items become flying missilescapable of causing serious injury.

• DO NOT use a seat belt that is twisted orobstructed in any way that could impede itssmooth operation.

• DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travelwith the seat backs reclined steeplyrearwards. Optimum benefit is obtainedfrom the seat belt with the seat back angleset to approximately 25º from the upright

(vertical) position.• DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularly

sugary food and drink particles) to enter theseat belt locks - such substances can renderthe locks inoperative.

• In most countries, all occupants arerequired by law to wear a seat belt, unlessthey have been issued with a medicalexemption certificate.

• During pregnancy, women should wear thelap belt across the hips below the baby, withthe diagonal belt passing across theshoulder, between the breasts and to oneside of the baby - if in doubt, consult adoctor.

WARNINGThe airbag supplementary restraint system

(SRS) is designed to add to the overalleffectiveness of the seat belts. It does notreplace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYS BEWORN!

Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly -an improperly worn seat belt increases therisk of death or serious injury in the event of acollision.

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERSThe seat belt pre-tensioners activate inconjunction with the airbag SRS and provideadditional protection in the event of a severefrontal impact on the vehicle (see ‘ HOW THE

AIRBAG SRS WORKS ’ , page 55 ). Thepre-tensioners automatically retract the seatbelts fitted to the front seats. This reduces anyslack in both the lap and diagonal portions ofthe belts, thereby reducing forward movementof the belt wearer in the event of a severe frontalcollision.

The airbag SRS warning light on the instrumentpanel will alert you to any malfunction of the

seat belt pre-tensioners.If the pre-tensioners have been activated, theseat belts will still function as restraints, andmust be worn in the event that the vehicleremains in a driveable condition.

NOTE:The seat belt pre-tensioners will NOT beactivated by rear, side or minor frontal impacts.

CARING FOR SEAT BELTSRegularly inspect the belt webbing for signs offraying, cuts and wear; also pay particularattention to the condition of the fixing pointsand adjusters.

DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing and avoidcontaminating the webbing with polish, oil orchemicals (see ‘ CLEANING THE INTERIOR ’ ,page 189 ).

Testing inertia reel belts• With the seat belt fastened, give the

webbing near the buckle a quick upwardpull. The buckle must remain securelylocked.

• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel thewebbing to the limit of its travel. Check thatunreeling is free from snatches and snagsand then allow the belt to FULLY retract.

• Partially unreel the webbing, then hold thetongue plate and give it a quick forward pull.The mechanism must lock automaticallyand prevent any further unreeling.

If a seat belt should fail any of these tests,contact your dealer immediately.

WARNINGAlways replace a seat belt that shows signs ofwebbing damage or has withstood the strainof a severe vehicle impact.

IMPORTANT INFORMATIONThe seat belt pre-tensioners will only beactivated once and then MUST BEREPLACED by a Land Rover dealer. Failureto replace the pre-tensioners will reducethe efficiency of the vehicle's front restraintsystems.

After any frontal impact, always have theseat belts and pre-tensioners checked and,if necessary, replaced by a Land Roverdealer.

In the interests of safety, it isrecommended that removal or replacementof the front seats and seat belts shouldonly be carried out by a Land Rover dealer.

Child RestraintsCHILD SAFETY SEATSSeat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed foradults and larger children. For their safety, it isvery important that all infants and childrenunder 12 are restrained in a suitable child safety

seat appropriate to their age and size (seetable). Child safety seats approved for use inyour vehicle are available from Land Roverdealers.

Only fit a child safety seat of a type approved forthe specific seating positions in your vehicle(see table), and ensure the seat manufacturer ’sfitting instructions are followed exacly.

Vehicles fitted with a passenger airbagFor optimum safety, children should travel inthe rear of the vehicle at all times; frontpassenger seat travel is NOT recommended.However, if a passenger airbag is fitted and it isessential that a child travel in the front, set theseat fully rearward and seat the child in anapproved, FORWARD FACING child seat. DONOT use a rear facing child seat - an inflatingairbag could impact with the seat and causeserious injury to the child!

The above symbol affixed to the passenger sidefascia panel of your vehicle, warns against theuse of a REAR FACING child seat in the frontpassenger seat, when a passenger airbag isfitted. This type of child seat could causeserious injury to a child in the event of an airbagdeployment.

WARNINGDO NOT install a rearward facing child seat ina passenger seat equipped with an airbagsystem. Failure to follow this advice couldresult in serious injury, or even death for thechild in the event of airbag deployment.

Seat belt locking mechanismAll front passenger and second row seat beltshave a special locking mechanism which aidsthe retention of child seats. The procedure toinstall a child seat is as follows:

1. Install the child seat in the vehicle, attachthe seat belt and secure the buckle inaccordance with the manufacturers fittinginstructions.

2. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt tounreel all of the remaining webbing to thelimit of its travel. This will engage theautomatic locking feature, which then actsas a ratchet, allowing the webbing toretract ONLY.

3. Allow the seat belt to retract onto the childseat (a ‘clicking’ sound will confirm thatthe ratchet has engaged), firmly pushingthe child seat into the seat.

4. Ensure there is no slack in the seat belt bypulling upwards on the shoulder beltimmediately above the child restraint. Theseat belt should now be locked and thechild seat held firmly in position.

Once the child seat is removed and all the seatbelt webbing is allowed to retract, the seat beltlocking mechanism reverts to normaloperation.

NOTE:The automatic locking mechanismshould also be used when securing large itemsof luggage to a seat.

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINTS*

In some markets, child restraint systemscomplying with International StandardOrganisation (ISO) regulations and approvedfor fitting in your vehicle may be available.These restraints are different to conventionalchild seats, requiring anchor bars built into thevehicle seat in order to accept the ISOFIXlocking mechanism.

Both outer, rear (second row) seating positions

in your vehicle are equipped to accept ISOFIXrestraints.

WARNINGDO NOT attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints to thecentre seating position - the anchor bars arenot designed to hold an ISOFIX restraint inthis position.

Fitting ISOFIX child restraintsISOFIX child restraints should only be fitted inthe two outer seating positions of the secondrow seats. Anchor bars built into the rear seatframe enable the ISOFIX restraints to be

securely attached to the vehicle seat in thesepositions only. The anchor bar locations areshown in the illustration above.

When fitting ISOFIX child restraints, alwaysfollow the instructions supplied by themanufacturer of the restraint.

Once the ISOFIX restraint is installed, you arerecommended to test the security of theinstallation before seating the child. Attempt totwist the restraint from side to side and to pullthe restraint away from the vehicle seat; thencheck that the anchors are still securely inplace.

WARNINGIf the restraint is not correctly anchored, thereis a significant risk of injury to the child in theevent of a collision or emergency braking.

Airbag SRS

Airbag SRS

AIRBAG SRSThe airbag supplementary restraint system(SRS) provides additional protection for either

the driver, or the driver and front seatpassenger, in the event of a severe frontalimpact on the vehicle.

WARNINGThe airbag is a supplementary restraintsystem that provides ADDITIONAL protectionin a severe frontal impact only - it does NOTreplace the need to wear a seat belt. For

maximum safety protection in all crashsituations, a seat belt must be worn.

Provided the front seat occupants are correctlyseated, with seat belts properly worn, the

airbags will provide additional protection to thechest and facial areas in the event of the carreceiving a severe frontal impact.

NOTE:Inflation and deflation of the airbagstakes place very quickly and will not protectagainst the effects of secondary impacts thatmay occur.

The airbag(s) are located in the centre pad of

the steering wheel and, where fitted, in thefascia panel above the glovebox.

WARNINGDo not allow a front seat passenger toobstruct the operation of the airbag by placingfeet, knees or any other part of the person, orany other objects in contact with, or in closeproximity to, an airbag module.

H4409


56/249

Airbag SRS

To ensure correct deployment of the airbags, itis essential that obstructions are not allowed tointervene between an airbag and the occupant.The following are examples of the type ofobstructions that could either, impede correct

operation of the airbags, or jeopardise personalsafety in the event of an airbag deployment:• Accessories attached to or obscuring 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, anairbag cover.

WARNINGDO NOT attach or position items on or to anairbag cover (steering wheel centre pad orfascia panel), which could interfere with theinflation of the airbag or, if the airbaginflates, be propelled inside the car causinginjury to the occupants.

Seating positionsIn order to provide optimum protection in theevent of a severe frontal impact, it is necessaryfor the airbags to deploy with considerablespeed.

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasionsand other injuries if the occupant is too close tothe airbag at the time of its deployment.

WARNINGTo minimise the risk of accidental Injury frominflating airbags, seat belts should becorrectly worn at all times. In addition, bothdriver and front seat passenger should adjusttheir seat to provide the maximum practicaldistance from the airbags.

HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKSIn the event of a severe frontal impact, theairbag control unit monitors the rate ofdeceleration or acceleration induced by thecollision, to determine whether the airbags

should be deployed.Operation of the airbag SRS is dependententirely on the rate at which the vehicle'spassenger compartment changes speed as aresult of a collision. The circumstancesaffecting different collisions (vehicle speed,angle of impact, type and size of object hit, forexample), vary considerably and will affect therate of acceleration or deceleration accordingly.

NOTE:The airbag SRS is not designed tooperate as a result of rear collisions, minorfrontal or side Impacts, roll over accidents; norwill it operate as a result of heavy braking ordriving over bumps and potholes.

It follows, therefore, that significant superficialdamage can occur without the airbagsdeploying or, conversely, that a relatively smallamount of structural damage may cause theairbags to be deployed.

Airbags will only deploy when they arerequired to supplement the restraining forceof the seat belts.

In the case of a severe frontal collision, bothfront airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners willbe deployed.


57/249

Airbag SRS

Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous andoccurs with considerable force, accompaniedby a loud noise. The inflated bag, together withthe seat belt restraint system, limit themovement of a front seat occupant, therebyreducing the risk of injury to the head and uppertorso.

WARNINGAn inflating airbag can cause facial abrasionsand other injuries. Minimise the risk of injury

by ensuring that front seat occupants arewearing their seat belts and are seatedcorrectly, with the seat as far back as ispractical.

When an airbag inflates, a fine powder isreleased. This is not an indication of amalfunction, however, the powder may causeirritation to the skin and should be thoroughly

flushed from the eyes and any cuts or abrasionsof the skin. After inflation the airbags deflateimmediately. This provides a gradualcushioning effect for the occupant and alsoensures that the driver's forward vision is notimpaired.

NOTE:After inflation, some airbag componentsare hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled.

Airbag SRS warning lightA warning light mounted on the instrumentpanel will alert you to any malfunction of theairbag SRS. The airbag SRS should always bechecked 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 four seconds after the starterswitch is turned to position ‘II’.

• The warning light illuminates after theengine is started, or while the vehicle isbeing driven.

SERVICE INFORMATION

WARNINGDO NOT attempt to service, repair, replace,modify or tamper with any part of the airbagSRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbag SRScomponent; this could cause the system toactivate, resulting in personal injury.

After ten years from the original date ofregistration (or the installation date of areplacement airbag SRS), some componentswill need to be replaced by a Land Rover dealer(note the ‘airbag module replacement date’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfolio book).

In addition, ALWAYS contact your dealer if:• 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 fascia panel)shows signs of cracking or damage.

Disposing of vehiclesIf you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform thenew owner that the vehicle has an airbag SRS.In addition, make sure the new owner is awareof the airbag module replacement date shownon page 2 of the Service Portfolio book.

If your vehicle is to be scrapped; uninflatedairbags are potentially very dangerous andmust be safely deployed in a controlledenvironment by qualified personnel, before avehicle is scrapped.


The components that make up the airbagSRS are sensitive to electrical or physicalinterference, either of which could easilydamage the system and cause inadvertentoperation or a malfunction of the airbag.

For your safety it is recommended that youseek the assistance of a Land Rover dealerto carry out any of the following:• Removal or repair of any wiring or

component in the vicinity of any of theSRS components (yellow wiring

harness), including the steering wheel,steering column, instrument and fasciapanels.

• Installation of electronic equipmentsuch as a mobile phone, two-way radioor in-car entertainment system.

• Modification to the front of the vehicle,including the bumper and chassis.

• Attachment of accessories to the front

of the vehicle.

Folding the mirror bodyThe door mirrors are designed to fold forwardsor rearwards on impact. They can also be foldedback towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the vehicle to negotiate

narrower openings.

Manual operation: On some vehicles thisoperation can be carried out manually, byphysically pushing the mirror bodies backtowards the side windows, and then pullingthem back into the normal (extended)positions.

Electric operation: On some vehicles mirrorfolding can be carried out electrically asfollows:

1. Ensure the mirror control is turned to thecentre position.

2. With the starter switch turned to position‘II’, push the control down once to fold themirrors back towards the side windows.

3. Before driving, push the control down asecond time to return the mirrors to their

normal (extended) position.

If the mirrors are accidentally knocked out ofposition (i.e. with one mirror extended and theother in the ‘parked’ position), an additionaloperation of the switch will re-synchronisethem.

1. Temperature gaugeOnce the engine coolant has reached its normaloperating temperature, the pointer will rise to aposition within the WHITE segment of thegauge (the precise position will vary accordingto climatic conditions).

If the pointer moves towards the RED segment,this indicates that the engine coolant isbecoming too hot. Should the pointer moveINTO the RED segment and the RED warninglight within the gauge illuminates, severeengine damage could occur (under thesecircumstances, the air conditioning may switchoff and engine performance may reduce inorder to minimise engine load).

Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits andallow the engine to idle for five minutes in orderto cool down - DO NOT SWITCH OFF. Seekqualified assistance before continuing.

2. TachometerIndicates engine speed in revolutions perminute (x 1000). In normal driving conditionsthe engine is most fuel efficient between 2000and 3000 rev/min.

Vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter arefitted with a system which automaticallyrestricts the number of engine revolutions perminute once the engine's maximum ‘governed’ speed has been reached.
