2 About this handbook This handbook forms part of the Owner literature supplied with your new vehicle. Left hand drive and right hand drive conditions may be shown in the graphics and where information is specific to a particular country, it is indicated as such. Please take the time to study the operating instructions with your vehicle as soon as you can. Important The information contained in this handbook covers all vehicle derivatives and optional equipment. Some of the options may not be fitted to your vehicle unless they formed part of the original vehicle specification. Therefore some parts of this handbook may not apply to your vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles, it may include descriptions of options before they become generally available. The options, hardware and software in your vehicle are from the available specifications for the market in which the vehicle was intended for sale. If your vehicle is to be used in another geographical area you may have to modify the vehicle specification to suit local conditions. Land Rover is not responsible for the cost of any modifications.

Introduction 8 Introduction SYMBOLS GLOSSARY Warnings Cautions Symbols This recycling symbol identifies those items that must be disposed of safely in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the environment. This symbol identifies those features that can be adjusted, disabled or enabled by your Dealer/Authorised Repairer. LABEL LOCATIONS 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. 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. Warning labels Labels are attached to your vehicle at several positions. These are applied to draw your attention to important subjects, e.g. tyre pressures, tow bar use, airbags, roll-over risk, engine compartment hazards, etc. Additional information labels may also be found at these locations: 1. Bonnet locking platform - Air conditioning label, Vehicle Identification Number label (China). 2. Top face of battery - Battery warning symbols. 3. Windscreen lower left side - Vehicle identification number. 4. End of facia (passenger side) - Passenger airbag label. WARNING Safety warnings in this format are included in this handbook. They 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. CAUTION Cautions in this format are included in this handbook. They 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 damage to your vehicle.

9 Introduction 5. Sun visor - Airbag label. Vehicle handling warning label. 6. Right hand B pillar - Tyre pressure/loading label. Airbag warning label. Disposal information. 7. Left hand B pillar - Airbag warning label, Vehicle Identification Number label. 8. Rear of fuel filler cap - Fuel specification label. It is important that you are familiar with these subjects to ensure that your vehicle and its features are used safely. Using the index at the back of this handbook, refer to the relevant topic for more information. HEALTH AND SAFETY Vehicle stability WARNINGS Your vehicle 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 vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle roll-over. The vehicle should not be parked over long dry grass or other combustible material, particularly during dry weather. Heat generated by the exhaust and emission control system may be sufficient to start a fire. Before exiting the vehicle ensure that P (park) is selected and the park brake applied. When exiting the vehicle ensure that the remote control is removed from the vehicle. WARNINGS Utility vehicles have a significant higher roll-over rate than other types of vehicle. Since these vehicles are designed to be operated off-road, they have a higher ground clearance and hence a higher centre of gravity. Such a feature has been associated with an increased risk of vehicle roll-over. Another factor shown to significantly increase roll-over risk is unauthorised vehicle modifications such as fitting incorrect specification tyres, oversized tyres, body lifting, incorrect springs/dampers, incorrect vehicle loading/trailer towing.
