Security Card
10
The security card, supplied with the literaturepack, contains important emergencyinformation. It is ESSENTIAL that you keepthe card safe from theft and ensure that it ispassed to the new owner if you sell thevehicle.
• Key number: This is the number of thestarter/door key - essential if you everneed to obtain a replacement.
• Emergency key access code: You willneed this code in order to start the vehicleif the handset has been lost or damaged(see ’Emergency key access’ in the ’Locks& alarm’ section).
• Locking wheel nut number: If your vehiclehas locking wheel nuts, you will have beenprovided with a special wheel nut socketto remove them. You will need to quotethis number to obtain a replacementsocket.
• VIN (vehicle identification number): Thisidentity number is unique to your vehicleand is essential proof of its specification.The number can also be found in variouslocations around the vehicle (see ’VehicleIdentification’ in Section 1).
• Radio security code number: This uniquecode must be entered into the radiowhenever the power supply has beendisconnected. Without this code, the radiounit will not operate (see ’Security code’ inthe ’In-Car Entertainment’ book).
WARNING
Never leave the security card inside thevehicle when it is unattended.
Memorise the emergency key access code,or keep the card on your person whiledriving, in case of emergencies.

ALARM SYSTEMYour vehicle is fitted with a sophisticatedelectronic anti-theft alarm and engineimmobilisation system. There are also anumber of additional security features, someof which are selectable options and some arestandard features of the vehicle. In order toensure maximum security and operatingconvenience, you are strongly advised to gaina full understanding of the features andalternatives available, by thoroughly readingthis section of the handbook.
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).
LOCKINGWith the remote handset:Press the lock (padlock symbol) button once:
- all doors are superlocked (see’Superlocking’)
- engine immobilised
- perimetric alarm activated (protects thedoors, bonnet and taildoor)
- interior space protection activated
The direction indicator lights flash three timesto confirm that the vehicle is secure and theanti-theft alarm indicator light (in theinstrument panel) starts to flash.
With the key:Insert the key and turn the door lock towardsthe rear of the vehicle:
- all doors locked (not superlocked)
- engine immobilised
- perimetric alarm activated (protects thedoors, bonnet and taildoor)
- NO INTERIOR SPACE PROTECTION
The direction indicator lights flash once toconfirm that the vehicle is secure and theanti-theft alarm indicator light (in theinstrument panel) starts to flash.
UNLOCKINGWith the remote handset:
• Press the unlock (Land Rover) buttononce to disarm the alarm and unlock thedriver’s door only (see ’Single pointentry’).
• Press the unlock button twice to disarmthe alarm and unlock ALL the doors.
In either case, the direction indicator lightsflash once and the interior lights illuminate.
With the key:While the doors can be unlocked using thekey, this method is NOT RECOMMENDED -depending on the specification of the vehiclethe alarm may not be disarmed.
NOTE: If the handset does not operate afterthe vehicle has been parked for a long period,unlock the driver’s door with the key and thentry again. If the handset still fails to operate,enter the EKA code using the procedureshown later in this section.

Using the remote handsetWhile it is not necessary to point the handsetat the vehicle, the handset must be withinrange of the vehicle when a button is pressed.Note that the operating range may varydepending upon handset battery conditionand may sometimes be limited by physicaland geographical factors beyond your control.From a security point of view, it may not bewise to unlock unless you are within a few feetof the vehicle.
SuperlockingProvided all the doors are fully closed, theSuperlocking feature is activated automaticallywhenever the vehicle is locked using theremote handset. Superlocking immobilises theinterior door handles, thereby preventing anintruder from gaining entry by smashing awindow and reaching inside the vehicle tooperate the door handles.
Note that locking with the key will not activatesuperlocking.
WARNING
For safety, NEVER use Superlocking ifpassengers are to remain inside the vehicle- in an emergency they would not be able toescape.
H2546
Anti-theft alarm indicator lightThis light provides information about thestatus of the alarm system, as follows:
When the vehicle is locked:The light flashes rapidly while the alarm isarming itself. After ten seconds, the lightadjusts to a slower frequency and continuesto flash as an anti-theft deterrent until thealarm is disarmed.
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 secondsafter the handset has been used when thedriver’s door 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 thedoors will lock and the alarm system will notbe armed.
If a passenger door or other aperture is notfully closed when the handset lock button ispressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle hornwill sound once, indicating a mislock.However, the ’partial arming’ attributes of thesecurity system will enable as much of thesystem to be armed as possible (all fullyclosed door or bonnet apertures will beprotected, but an open door will not!). Assoon as the open aperture is closed, thesystem will automatically revert to a fullyarmed state.
NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of anopen door, the superlocking and interiorspace protection features will not be activated.
NOTE: Your Land Rover dealer can disablethe mislock audible warning.
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 thealarm being triggered.
To silence the alarm, press either button onthe remote handset.
Headlight courtesy delay (if fitted)When locking the vehicle, the remote handsetcan be used to illuminate the headlights for 30seconds. At night this will make it easier foryou to unlock the garage, or walk to yourhouse in safety. Operate this feature at thesame time as you lock the car, by keeping thehandset LOCK button pressed for more than 2seconds (the doors lock and alarm systemarms in the usual way).
To extinguish the lights before the 30 secondillumination period has expired, press the lockbutton again.
NOTE: This feature can be disabled by a LandRover dealer.
Single point entryThis is a personal security feature, whichenables the driver’s door only to be unlocked,leaving the other doors in a locked state. Itcan be operated by the remote handset asfollows:
Press the unlock button once to unlock thedriver’s door, press a second time (within oneminute) to unlock the remaining doors.
NOTE: This feature can be disabled by a LandRover dealer.

Interior space protectionInterior space protection is designed toprotect the interior of the vehicle fromintrusion (entry by a thief through a smashedwindow, for example). Two pairs of sensorsmonitor the interior space and activate thealarm if air movement is detected in thepassenger compartment.
Using the handset:Interior space protection is activatedautomatically whenever the remote handset isused to set the alarm and can ONLY bedeactivated with the handset.
Key operation:Using the key will NOT activate (or deactivate)interior space protection.
NOTE: The feature cannot be activated if adoor is open, or if the starter switch is turnedon.
WARNING
Never activate interior space protection ifwindows or sunroof are to be left open, or ifpassengers or animals are to be left insidethe vehicle - any movement will activate thealarm.
Speed-related locking (if fitted)This security feature locks all the doorsautomatically when the vehicle speed exceeds7 km/h, and unlocks the doors as soon as thestarter switch is turned off (provided thedoors had previously been locked by thespeed related feature).
Note that this feature is not selectable by thedriver, and that operation of the door locks byany other means (interior locking switch onthe fascia panel, for example) will disable thespeed-related locking function for theremainder of the journey, or until the starterswitch is turned off and on again.
NOTE: This feature can be selected ordeselected by a Land Rover dealer.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATIONEngine immobilisation is an important aspectof the 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 hasbeen turned off AND the driver’s dooropened.
• Five minutes after the starter switch isturned off, or the alarm system isdisarmed.
The engine will be re-mobilisedautomatically whenever the genuinehandset key is inserted into the starterswitch and turned to position ’II’.
EMERGENCY KEY ACCESSIf the handset is damaged, or fails to operate,the engine can be re-mobilised by using thekey to enter a unique four number emergencykey access code. The code is recorded on theSecurity Information card and is entered asfollows:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When entering a code:
• ENSURE each key movement iscarried out with care and precisionand turned to the full extent of itstravel.
• After turning the key to either thelock or unlock positions, make sureit is FULLY returned to the centre(vertical) position.
• An interval of 10 seconds or morebetween key turns, or the key beingheld in a locked or unlocked positionfor 5 seconds or more will cancel anentry attempt, in which case youmust start again with operation 1.
1. Ensure that all doors areclosed, then using the keyturn the driver’s door lock tothe UNLOCK position(towards the front of the car)
and hold in this position for at least 5 secondsuntil the alarm sounder sounds once). Thenreturn the key to the centre position. It is nowpossible to use the key to enter the separatenumerical values of the four numbers thatmake up the emergency key access code.
2. Enter the FIRST number ofthe code. If the first numberis 4, turn the key (towards thefront of the car) to theUNLOCK position 4 times.
Ensure the key is FULLY returned to the centreposition after each turn.
Locks & Alarm

3. Enter the SECOND numberof the code. If the secondnumber is 3, turn the key(towards the rear) to theLOCK position 3 times.
Remember; the key must be FULLY returnedto the centre position after each turn.
4. Enter the THIRD number ofthe code. If the third numberis 12, turn the key to theUNLOCK position twelvetimes, ensuring that the key is
FULLY returned to the centre position aftereach turn.
5. Enter the FOURTH numberof the code. If the fourthnumber is 1, turn the key tothe LOCK position once.Ensure the key is FULLY
returned to the 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 enteredincorrectly).
NOTE: If the Mislock audible warning hasbeen deselected (by a Land Rover dealer), thealarm sounder will not sound when an EKAcode has been entered. Instead, the alarmindicator light on the instrument panel willflash once (for one second) to indicate asuccessful 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 wassuccessful, this light will continue flashing(once every two seconds) for the five minutedelay period.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TOENTER THE CAR until the full delay period haselapsed - this will be indicated by the anti-theftalarm 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, thealarm sounder will sound once and theanti-theft alarm indicator light will continue toflash. In this case, return to operation ’1’ andre-enter the code.
After three failed entry attempts, the securitysystem invokes a delay period of ten minutesduring which the system will not accept anyfurther attempts to enter a code.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Memorise the emergency key accesscode or keep the Security card on yourperson in case of emergencies. NEVERleave the card in the vehicle.

SEAT BELT SAFETYThe seat belts fitted to the front and secondrow seats are intended for use by adult sizedoccupants. Each belt should be used by oneoccupant only.
Observe the following precautions:
• DO make sure ALL passengers aresecurely strapped in at all times - even forthe shortest 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 bodyat all times.
• ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on thehips as possible (never across theabdomen), and ensure that the diagonalbelt passes across the shoulder withoutslipping off or pressing on the neck.
• DO NOT wear seat belts over hard, sharpor fragile items in clothing, such as pens,keys, spectacles etc.
• Always replace a seat belt assembly thathas withstood the strain of a severevehicle impact, or if the webbing showssigns of fraying.
• Where possible use the seat belts tosecure large items of luggage that are tobe carried on the seats - in the event of anaccident, insecure items become flyingmissiles capable of causing serious injury.
• DO NOT use a seat belt that is twisted orobstructed in any way that could impedeits smooth operation.
• DO NOT allow front seat occupants totravel with the seat backs reclined steeplyrearwards. Optimum benefit is obtainedfrom the seat belt with the seat back angleset to approximately 25 degrees from theupright (vertical) position.
• DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularlysugary food and drink particles) to enterthe seat belt locks - such substances canrender the 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 wearthe lap belt across the hips below thebaby, with the diagonal belt passingacross the shoulder, between the breastsand to one side of the baby - if in doubt,consult a doctor.
WARNING
The airbag supplementary restraint system(SRS) is designed to add to the overalleffectiveness of the seat belts. It does notreplace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYSBE WORN!
Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly- an improperly worn seat belt increases therisk of death or serious injury in the event ofa collision.

Fastening the seat beltsInertia reel belts are fitted to all front and rearseating positions, and also to the occasionalrear seats (where fitted).
Pull the belt over the shoulder and across thechest and, ensuring that the webbing is nottwisted, insert the metal tongue plate into thebuckle nearest the wearer - a ’CLICK’ indicatesthat the belt is securely locked.
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bonystructure of the body (pelvis, chest andshoulders) and can only be worn safely withthe seats in a normal upright position - DONOT allow front seat occupants to travel withthe seat steeply reclined.
Releasing the beltPress the RED button on the seat belt buckle.
H2491
Upper anchorage adjustment(front seats only)
The height of the seat belt upper anchoragecan be adjusted for comfort AND safety.Squeeze the control between finger andthumb to raise or lower the anchorage. Forsafety, the seat belt should always be wornwith the webbing crossing the shoulderMIDWAY BETWEEN THE NECK AND THEEDGE OF THE SHOULDER.
Ensure the anchorage has ’clicked’ into one ofthe locked positions before driving.
Where possible, rear seat passengers shouldadjust their position on the seat to enable theseat belt webbing to cross the shoulderwithout pressing on the neck.

Child seatsThe seat belts fitted to your vehicle aredesigned for adults and larger children. Fortheir safety, it is very important that all infantsand young children are restrained in a suitablechild safety seat appropriate to their age andsize. Safety seats approved for use in yourvehicle are available from your Land Roverdealer.
Only fit a child seat that has been approved foruse in your vehicle, and ensure themanufacturer’s fitting instructions arefollowed exactly.
Vehicles fitted with a passenger airbag:For optimum safety, children should travel inthe rear of the vehicle at all times. However, ifa passenger airbag is fitted and it is essentialthat a child travel in the front, set the seat fullyrearward and seat the child in an approved,FORWARD FACING child seat. DO NOT use arear facing child seat - an inflating airbagcould impact with the seat and cause seriousinjury to the child!
The above symbol affixed to the passengerside fascia panel of your vehicle, warnsagainst the use of a REAR FACING child seatin the front passenger seat, when a passengerairbag is fitted. This type of child seat couldcause serious injury to a child in the event ofan airbag deployment.
WARNING
DO NOT install a rearward facing child seatin a passenger seat equipped with an airbagsystem. Failure to follow this advice couldresult in serious injury, or even death for thechild.
Seat belts
33
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 largeitems of luggage to a seat.
Seat belts
34
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 ’AirbagSRS’). The pre-tensioners automaticallyretract the seat belts fitted to the front seats.This reduces any slack in both the lap anddiagonal portions of the belts, therebyreducing forward movement of the belt wearerin the event of a severe frontal collision.
The airbag SRS warning light on theinstrument panel will alert you to anymalfunction 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 NOTbe activated by rear, side or minor frontalimpacts.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The seat belt pre-tensioners will only beactivated once and then MUST BEREPLACED by a Land Rover dealer.Failure to replace the pre-tensioners willreduce the efficiency of the vehicle’s frontrestraint systems.
After any frontal impact, always have theseat belts and pre-tensioners checkedand, if necessary, replaced by a LandRover dealer.
In the interests of safety, it isrecommended that removal orreplacement of the front seats and seatbelts should only be carried out by a LandRover dealer.

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 & vehicle care’).
Testing inertia reel belts
1. With the seat belt fastened, give thewebbing near the buckle a quick upwardpull. The buckle must remain securelylocked.
2. With the seat belt unfastened, unreel thewebbing to the limit of its travel. Checkthat unreeling is free from snatches andsnags and then allow the belt to FULLYretract.
3. Partially unreel the webbing, then hold thetongue plate and give it a quick forwardpull. The mechanism must lockautomatically and prevent any furtherunreeling.
If a seat belt should fail any of these tests,contact your dealer immediately.
WARNING
Always replace a seat belt that shows signsof webbing damage or has withstood thestrain of a severe vehicle impact.
Airbag SRS
36
The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) (when fitted)provides additional protection for either the driver, or the driverand front seat passenger, in the event of a severe frontal impact onthe vehicle.
Always remember; the airbag is a supplementary restraint system that provides ADDITIONALprotection in a frontal impact only - it does NOT replace the need to wear a seat belt. Formaximum safety protection in all crash situations, a seat belt must be worn.
H2638
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 followingsymptoms occur:
• The warning light fails to illuminate whenthe starter switch is turned to position ’II’.
• The warning light fails to extinguish withinapproximately four seconds after thestarter switch is turned to position ’II’.
• The warning light illuminates after theengine is started, or while the vehicle isbeing driven.
Airbag SRS
37
How the airbag SRS worksThe airbag supplementary restraint system(SRS) includes either: a single airbag module(mounted in the steering wheel centre pad) forthe driver, or twin airbag modules (whereshown in illustration) to protect both thedriver and the front seat passenger.
In the event of a frontal collision, a sensormonitors the force of the impact to determinewhether the airbag SRS should be activated.
If the impact is sufficiently severe, the systemcauses each airbag to inflate. Inflation isinstantaneous and accompanied by a loudnoise. Also evident may be traces of smokeand powder, neither of which are injurious orindicative of a malfunction of the airbag.
After inflation, the driver’s airbag willimmediately deflate, thereby ensuring thatvisibility is not impaired.
NOTE: An airbag will not inflate as a result ofheavy braking, minor bumps or potholes.
WARNING
An inflating airbag can cause facialabrasions and other injuries. Minimise therisk of injury by ensuring that front seatoccupants are wearing their seat belts andare seated correctly, with the seat as farback as is practical.
Following inflation some airbag SRScomponents are hot - DO NOT touch untilthey have cooled.
H2628
Airbag SRS
38
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Even with airbag SRS equipment fitted,seat belts must ALWAYS be wornbecause:
• An airbag will only provideprotection in severe frontalcollisions. NO protection is affordedagainst the effects of side or rearimpacts, roll over accidents, orminor frontal impacts.
• Inflation and deflation take placevery quickly and will not provideprotection against the effects ofsecondary impacts that can occurduring multiple vehicle collisions.
The airbag module inflates withconsiderable speed and force. For yoursafety:
• NEVER attach accessory items to anairbag module cover, or place itemsof hand luggage or any objects onthe top of a module cover; thesecould interfere with the inflation ofthe airbag, or if the airbag inflates,be propelled inside the vehiclecausing injury to the occupants.
• DO NOT allow occupants to obstructthe operation of the airbag modulesby placing their feet, knees or anypart of their person in contact with,or in close proximity to, an airbagmodule while the vehicle is inmotion.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• CHILD SEATS: Do not install arearward facing child seat in apassenger seat equipped with anairbag system. Failure to follow thisadvice could result in serious injury,or even death for the child.
• If it is necessary for a child to travelin the front, set the seat fullyrearwards and use ONLY anapproved FORWARD FACING childseat.

Service informationAfter ten years from the original date ofregistration (or the installation date of areplacement airbag SRS), some componentswill need to be replaced by a Land Roverdealer (note the ’airbag module replacementdate’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfoliobook).
In addition, ALWAYS contact your dealer if:
• an airbag inflates.
• the front of the vehicle is damaged, even ifthe airbag has not inflated.
• any part of an airbag module cover (thesteering wheel centre pad or fascia panel)shows signs of cracking or damage.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to service, repair, replace,modify or tamper with any part of the airbagSRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbagSRS component; this could cause thesystem to activate, resulting in personalinjury.
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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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 thatyou seek the assistance of a Land Roverdealer to carry out any of the following:
• Removal or repair of any wiring orcomponent in the vicinity of any ofthe SRS components (yellow wiringharness), including the steeringwheel, steering column, instrumentand fascia panels.
• Installation of electronic equipmentsuch as a mobile phone, two-wayradio or in-car entertainmentsystem.
• Modification to the front of thevehicle, including the bumper andchassis.
• Attachment of accessories to thefront of the vehicle.

H2981
Folding the mirror bodyThe door mirrors are designed to foldforwards or rearwards on impact. They canalso be folded back towards the side windowsinto a ’park’ position to enable the vehicle tonegotiate narrower openings.
Manual operation:On some vehicles this operation can becarried out manually by physically pushing themirror bodies back towards the side windows,and then pulling them back into the normal(extended) positions.
Electric operation:On some vehicles mirror folding can becarried out electrically as follows:
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 theirnormal (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.

HEATER CONTROLS
1. Temperature controlsThe left hand control varies air temperaturefrom the vents on the left side of the vehicle.The right hand control adjusts air temperaturefrom the vents on the right side. Rotate eachcontrol clockwise (towards the REDsegments) to increase the air temperature, oranti-clockwise (towards the BLUE) to reducethe temperature.
2. Air distribution controlRotate to select air distribution:
Air to face vents(to ensure best performance, theface level vents must be fully open)
Air to face vents and foot outlets(to ensure best performance, theface level vents must be fully open)
Air to foot outlets
Air to foot outlets and windscreen(recommended for clearing mildwindscreen misting)
All air to windscreen(recommended for clearing heavywindscreen misting)
3. Air blower switchMove the control to the right to progressivelyincrease the fan speed.
With the control at ’0’ the fan is stationary andthe volume of air entering the passengercompartment is solely dependent upon theram effect of the vehicle moving through theair.
4. Air recirculation controlPress to recirculate air inside the vehicle(indicator light illuminates).
The air recirculation mode prevents theheating system from taking in fresh air fromoutside the vehicle. Instead, the air alreadyinside the vehicle is recirculated, thuspreventing the entry of traffic fumes. In coldweather air recirculation also enables warmerair to be used to defrost the windscreen whenthe engine is still cold.
WARNING
The air recirculation mode can cause thewindscreen to mist. If this happens, switchoff air recirculation immediately.
NOTE: The air blower switch and airrecirculation control will only operate with thestarter switch at position ’II’.

The air conditioning system featuresautomatic temperature and air distributioncontrol, which is programmed to maintainoptimum levels of comfort within the vehiclein all but the most severe climatic conditions.
While the controls can be adjusted manuallyto satisfy individual requirements, allowing thesystem to function automatically (in Automode) is by far the simplest method ofoperation for the owner and is preferable inmost operating conditions.
Auto mode
Press ’AUTO’ (1) for fully automaticoperation.
Press the temperature control switches(2) on either side of the display toselect the required temperature.
Let the automatic temperature controlsystem do the rest.
In Auto mode, air distribution and blowerspeeds are adjusted automatically to achieveand then maintain the desired temperature.(An enclosed area in the centre of the displaywill show ’AUTO’ together with the airdistribution and blower speed settings).
Both the air distribution and blower controlscan be operated independently to override theautomatic setting. In this case, the relativesymbols will move outside the enclosed areain the centre of the display to indicate thatthey are no longer being controlledautomatically.
NOTE: If the air distribution and blowercontrols are operated independently, thesystem may not be able to achieve or maintainthe required temperature settings.
Air conditioning
66
Defrost modeIf the windscreen is misting orcovered in ice, press the
’SCREEN’ button (3); the system willimmediately direct its output to achievemaximum screen clearing by:- setting the blower speed to maximum- distributing air flow to the screen only.
In addition, the rear and front screen heaters(if fitted) will be switched on (or their timedoperating cycle will recommence if they arealready switched on).
NOTE: The temperature and blower speedcontrols can be adjusted and air recirculationselected manually if required.
Press the ’SCREEN’ button a second time (orselect ’AUTO’) to leave the Defrost mode - thesystem will default automatically to Automode.
Economy modePress the ’Econ’ button (4) tooperate (the display shows
’ECON’).
In economy mode the air conditioningcompressor is switched off and the systemfunctions as a conventional heating andventilation system. This reduces the load onthe engine, thereby reducing fuelconsumption.
Select Economy mode whenever airconditioning is not required i.e. in coldweather when the external temperature islower than the temperature required for thepassenger compartment.
The air distribution, blower and recirculationcontrols can be operated independently.
Pressing the ’Econ’ button a second time willswitch the air conditioning compressor onand return the system to Auto mode.
NOTE: In Economy mode, it is possible toswitch the blower off (no segments showingin the display).
On/off buttonPress (5) to switch on or off.When switching on, note that the
system automatically recalls the mode andcontrol settings that were last used.
Temperature controls
Operate the rocker switches (2) on either sideof the display to set the required temperaturefor the corresponding side of the passengercompartment (left hand switch for the left sideof the vehicle, and right hand switch for theright side).
Temperatures above 28° C and below 16° Ccannot be set. Above or below thesemaximum and minimum settings ’HI’ or ’LO’will appear in the display.
NOTE: The temperatures shown on thedisplay are relative, target, temperatures onlyand are not reflective of any specifictemperature measured within the vehicleinterior.
NOTE: The system will not achievetemperatures on the passenger side of thevehicle that are more than 5° C greater or lessthan the temperature set for the driver’s side.

Blower buttonPress the button (6) to adjust theblower speed. The blower speed
increases incrementally with each press of thebutton, until maximum fan speed is reached(the display shows five segments and theword ’MAX’).
Once the maximum fan speed has beenreached, another press of the button returnsthe blower to its slowest speed (one segmentshows in the display).
Air distribution controlPress the button (7) to adjust. Airdistribution changes
incrementally with each press of the switch inthe following sequence:
Face level vents
Foot and face level vents
Foot level vents
Foot level, windscreen and sidewindow vents
Windscreen and side window vents
A further operation of the button returns tothe start of the sequence.
NOTE: If the button is pressed for more thanone second, air distribution will automaticallydefault to foot and face level vents.
External temperaturePress the button (8) to display.The external temperature is
displayed for approximately 6 seconds, afterwhich the display reverts to its previous state.
NOTE: While the air conditioning system isswitched off, the external temperature can bedisplayed briefly by pressing the button.
Air recirculationThe air recirculation feature canbe used to prohibit the entry of
air from outside the vehicle, alternativelyrecirculating the air inside the vehicle instead.This is useful to prevent the entry of trafficfumes.
The feature also significantly influences thedehumidifying and cooling performance of theair-conditioning system. Therefore, in Automode, air recirculation is controlledautomatically to enable the air-conditioningsystem to achieve its optimum performance.
However, the feature is also manuallyselectable in Auto, Defrost and Economymodes, as follows:
In Auto mode:
1. Press the control (9) briefly (displayshows recirculation symbol):
Air recirculation operates until the control ispressed a second time to switch off.
2. Press and hold for 2 seconds (two bleepswill sound, display shows recirculationsymbol):
Air recirculation operates for a pre-timedperiod of 4-6 minutes only.

• Press and hold for 2 seconds (two bleepswill sound, display shows recirculationsymbol):
Air recirculation operates until the controlis pressed a second time to switch off.
NOTE: Prolonged recirculation may cause thewindows to mist.
Temperature conversion (° F - ° C)
The temperature displays can be converted toor from Fahrenheit and Centigrade, as follows:
1. Press and hold the air recirculation button(9).
2. At the same time, press and hold theon/off button (5) for 3 seconds.
3. A ’bleep’ will sound to indicate that theconversion has taken place.
General notes
• For optimum operating efficiency, ensureall the air vents (including those in the rearof the vehicle) are open.
• For the automatic temperature controlsystem to function efficiently, all windows(and the sunroof) should be closed, andthe air intake vents free from ice, snow,leaves or other debris.
• In very humid conditions, slight screenmisting may be experienced when the airconditioning system is turned on. This is anatural occurrence on most automotive airconditioning systems. It is not a fault andmisting will clear after a few seconds oncethe air conditioning system is operating.
• The air conditioning compressor will notfunction unless the engine is running.
• Surplus water produced by thedehumidifying process is expelled fromthe system via drain tubes beneath thevehicle. This may result in a small pool ofwater forming on the road when thevehicle is stationary and is not a cause forconcern.
• If desired, the system’s audibleinformation chimes can be deactivated, asfollows:
1) Press ’Auto’ button and hold.
2) Press ’On/off’ button and hold pressedfor 3 seconds, then release.
3) Press ’On/off’ button again for a further3 seconds, and release.
4) Release ’Auto’ button.

COMPASS MIRROR (if fitted)
WARNING
The compass is a direction aid only. Whiledrivers may wish to observe the compassdisplay while driving, it must not be allowedto distract from proper observation of traffic,road conditions and other hazards, either onthe public highway or while driving off-road.
Whenever the starter switch is turned toposition II, the vehicle’s direction of travel -’N’, ’NE’, ’E’, ’SE’, ’S’, ’SW’, ’W’ or ’NW’ - willbe displayed in the mirror display. The displaywill change whenever the vehicle directionchanges by more than 22.5 degrees from themidpoint of each compass segment (a shorttime delay is incorporated to prevent nuisancechanges occurring).
To ensure accuracy, the compass must becalibrated and also set to the compass setzone in which the vehicle is to be used (seethe appropriate map page that follows). Bothoperations will have been carried out beforethe vehicle was delivered. Re-calibration willnot normally be necessary unless the vehiclebattery has been disconnected for a period oftime.
Interior equipment
76
Calibrating the compass
1. Turn the starter switch to position II. Themirror display should show the letter ’C’.
2. If ’C’ is not displayed, use a ballpoint penor similar probe to press the button on theunderside of the mirror for six secondsuntil ’C’ is displayed. The button can thenbe released and the compass calibrated asfollows:
3. Calibrate the compass by driving thevehicle in circles at 5 mph or less (twocircles should be sufficient) until themirror display shows a direction (’N’, ’NE’,’E’, ’SE’, ’S’, ’SW’, ’W’ or ’NW’).Alternatively, the compass will eventuallycalibrate itself during normal vehicle use,but depending upon the type of drivingthat is undertaken, this may takeconsiderably longer.
Setting the compassVariations in the earth’s magnetic field causechanges to occur in the compass reading asthe vehicle is driven from one set zone toanother. However, it should be noted thatmagnetic variation between adjacent zones isonly 4 degrees, and for most motoringsituations, resetting the compass should onlybe necessary if the vehicle has crossed morethan one zone, or calibration was carried outin any zone other than zone 8.
Note that the precise points at which the setzones change cannot be accurately plottedand that drivers situated in an area wherezones merge should not need to reset thecompass every time the vehicle crosses fromone to another.
Interior equipment
77
To set the compass:
1. Identify the appropriate zone for yourlocation (see the map that follows).
2. Turn the starter switch to position II.
3. Using a ballpoint pen or similar probe,press and hold the button on theunderside of the mirror until a zonenumber appears in the display. This willtake approximately 3 seconds (note thatthe compass automatically defaults tozone 8).
4. Release the button, then continue pressingand releasing the button alternately untilthe required zone number appears in thedisplay.
5. Once the set zone has been selected, thedisplay reappears (after 10 secondsapprox.), and the compass is correctly setfor the required zone.
