BEFORE YOU DRIVE WARNINGS IN THIS HANDBOOK
WARNING
Safety warnings are included in this 
handbook. These indicate a procedure which 
must be followed precisely in order to avoid 
the possibility of personal injury or serious 
damage to the vehicle.
SYMBOLS USED
The following symbols used within the 
handbook call your attention to specific types of 
information.
This recycling symbol identifies items 
that must be disposed of safely in order to 
prevent unnecessary damage to the 
environment.
This symbol identifies features that can be 
adjusted or disabled/enabled by a Land 
Rover retailer Your Discovery has a higher ground 
clearance and hence, a higher center 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 maneuvers. As with other 
vehicles of this type, failure to operate 
the Discovery 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.

PASSPORT TO SERVICE
The Passport to Service book included in your 
literature pack contains important vehicle 
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. 
WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE 
VEHICLE
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.
Warning labels showing this symbol 
indicate that the ignition system 
utilizes very high voltages. DO NOT 
touch any ignition components while 
the starter switch is turned on!
NOTE: Always read warning information labels. 
GEARBOX SELECTOR LEVER LABELS
(For Differential Lock equipped vehicles).
Information concerning the operation of the 
transfer gearbox with the automatic gearbox is 
printed on the center console. This is important 
information and must be understood fully with

page 121 of this handbook, before using the 
transfer gearbox.

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 
Discovery is accidentally struck by 
another vehicle.  
						

							Before You Drive

BREAKING-IN
Proper breaking-in will have a direct bearing on 
the reliability and smooth running of your 
vehicle throughout its life.
In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and 
tires need time to ‘bed-in’ and adjust to the 
demands of everyday motoring. During the first 
500 miles (800 km), it is essential to drive with 
consideration for the running-in process and 
heed the following advice:
•LIMIT maximum road speed to 70 mph (110 
km/h) or 3,000 rev/min. Initially, drive the 
vehicle on a light throttle and only increase 
engine speeds gradually once the 
breaking-in distance has been completed.
•DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the 
engine to labor in any gear.
•AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking 
except in emergencies.
