2 Owners Handbook This handbook, together with the Passport to Service book, provides all the information you need to derive maximum pleasure from owning and driving your new vehicle. For your convenience, the handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a particular aspect of driving or caring for the vehicle. These are listed on the contents page and you will find it worthwhile to take a little time to read each one, and get to know your Discovery as soon as you possibly can. The more you understand before you drive, the greater the satisfaction once you are seated behind the steering wheel. IMPORTANT The specification of each vehicle will vary according to territorial requirements and also from model to model within the vehicle range. Some of the information published in this handbook, therefore, may not apply to your particular vehicle. Land Rover operates a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without notice at any time. Whilst every effort is made to ensure complete accuracy of the information in this handbook, no liabilities for inaccuracies or the consequences thereof can be accepted by the manufacturer or the dealer, except in respect of personal injury caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.

Introduction 4 Intro duc tionREPORTING 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 recieves 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. To contact NHTSA, you may 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. BEFORE YOU DRIVE Your Discovery Series II 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 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.
Introduction 5 WARNINGS IN THIS HANDBOOK 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. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 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. 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 *An asterisk appearing within the text, identifies features or items of equipment that are either optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range. 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 First Service Voucher, and the service record slips, which the retailer should sign and stamp to certify the routine services have been carried out at the recommended intervals. 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!

Introduction 7 ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS While it may be difficult to deter the ‘professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts are carried out by unskilled opportuninsts. Therefore, take vehicle security very seriously and ALWAYS adopt this simple ‘four pont’ drill whenever you leavbe 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.
