Land Rover HomeLink® 102 La nd Rov er Home Link®HOMELINK® TRANSMITTER The Land Rover HomeLink® Universal Transmitter is built into the underside of the rear view mirror and provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. This innovative feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors and gates. With the available accessory package, the HomeLink ® Transmitter can also control home or office lighting and security systems. For reliability, the HomeLink ® Transmitter is powered by your vehicle’s battery and charging system. Precautions When programming your HomeLink ® Transmitter, you will be operating the garage door or gate. Be sure that people and objects are out of the way, to prevent potential harm or damage. WARNING Do not use this HomeLink® Transmitter with any garage door that lacks safety ‘stop’ and ‘reverse’ features, as required by federal safety standard (this includes any garage or door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot ‘detect’ an object in the path of a closing door and then automatically ‘stop’ and ‘reverse’ the door, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increase the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free: 1-800-355-3515.Programming If after repeated attempts you do not successfully program the HomeLink ® Transmitter to learn the signal of the hand-held transmitter, call toll-free for customer assistance: 1-800-355-3515. 1.If you have previously programmed your HomeLink ® Transmitter, proceed to step 2. Otherwise, hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink ® Transmitter until the amber light begins to flash. Release both buttons. 2.Decide which one of the three channels you want to program. 3.Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against the HomeLink ® Transmitter (underside of the mirror) so that you can still see the amber light (see illustration). HANDHELD TRANSMITTER 123 H4105A
Land Rover HomeLink® 103 4.Using both hands, push the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the HomeLink ® Transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through step 5. 5.Hold down both buttons until you see the amber light on the Land Rover HomeLink ® Transmitter flash, first slowly and then rapidly. It indicates that you have successfully programmed the HomeLink ® Transmitter to learn the new frequency signal. Release both buttons once the rapid flashing begins. Operating the Land Rover HomeLink ® Transmitter Once it is programmed, the HomeLink ® Transmitter can be used in place of your hand-held transmitter(s). To operate, simply press the appropriate button on the HomeLink ® Transmitter. The amber light comes on while the signal is being transmitted. NOTE: If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink ® Transmitter, but does not open your garage door and, if your garage door was manufactured after 1995, your garage door opener may have a ‘code protected’ or ‘rolling code’ feature. A ‘rolling code’ type of system will change the ‘code’ of your garage door opener every time you open or close your garage door. To determine if you have one of these systems, depress the button on your HomeLink ® Transmitter that you programmed. If the amber light on the HomeLink ® Transmitter flashes rapidly for 1-2 seconds, then turns solid, your garage door opener has a rolling code system.Training a garage door opener equipped with ‘rolling codes’ To train your ’rolling code’ garage door opener to operate from your HomeLink ® Transmitter, follow these steps: 1.Program your hand-held transmitter to the HomeLink ® Transmitter by following the procedures outlined in ‘Programming’, page 102 (if you already completed this programming, proceed to the next instruction). 2.Train your garage door opener receiver to recognize your HomeLink ® Transmitter: (your garage door opener receiver will learn to recognize the HomeLink ® Transmitter by following the same process used to train the hand-held transmitter) a) Remove the cover panel from your garage door opener receiver (the receiver should be located by the garage door motor). b) Locate the training button on the garage door opener receiver. The exact location and colour of the button may vary by garage door opener brand. If you have difficulty locating the training button, reference your garage door opener manual, or call 1-800-355-35215. c) Press the training button on the garage door opener receiver for 1-2 seconds. d) Return to the HomeLink ® Transmitter in the vehicle and depress the programmed HomeLink ® Transmitter button for the duration of the rapid flash of the HomeLink ®’ amber light, (1-2 seconds). Release the button and depress the button to confirm that the HomeLink ® Transmitter has been trained to the receiver.
Land Rover HomeLink® 104 e) Your garage door opener should now recognize your HomeLink® Transmitter. You may use either your HomeLink® Transmitter or your original hand-held transmitter to open your garage door. If after following these suggestions you still have difficulties programming your HomeLink ® Transmitter, call toll-free for customer assistance: 1-800-355-3515. Erasing channels To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the two outside buttons until the amber light begins to flash, then release both buttons.

Starting & Driving 107 Driving & Operating S ta rting & Driv in gSTEERING COLUMN LOCK To unlock the steering column Insert the key FULLY and turn the starter switch to position ‘I’. A small movement of the steering wheel may be necessary to disengage the steering lock while turning the switch. To lock the steering column With the gear selector in ‘P’ (Park), turn the key to position ‘0’ and withdraw it from the starter switch. Turn the steering wheel slightly until the lock engages. WARNING To prevent loss of steering control, do not under any circumstances turn the key to the O position while the vehicle is moving. To prevent the steering column lock engaging it is most important that, before the vehicle is moved in any way, the key be inserted in the lock and turned to position I. If, due to an accident or electrical fault, it is not safe to turn the key, disconnect the negative lead of the battery and then turn the key. STARTER SWITCH The starter switch is located to the right of the steering column, and uses the following sequence of key positions to operate the steering lock, electrical circuits and starter motor: Position ‘0’ •Steering locked (if key is removed). •Most lighting circuits are operational, including: sidelights, headlights and hazard warning lights. Position ‘I’ •Steering unlocked. •Clock, radio/cassette player and cigar lighter can now be operated. Position ‘II’ •All instruments, warning lights and electrical circuits are operational. Position ‘III’ •Starter motor operates. Release the key immediately the engine starts (the key will automatically return to position ‘II’). Note that operation of position ‘I’ electrical functions will be interrupted during engine cranking. NOTE: On automatic models gear selector position ‘P’ or ‘N’ must be selected before the engine will start. NOTE: Gear selector position ‘P’ must be selected before the starter key can be removed.

Starting & Driving 108 STARTING THE ENGINE WARNING Never start or leave the engine running in an unventilated building - exhaust gases are poisonous and contain carbon monoxide, which can cause unconsciousness and may even be fatal. Before starting the engine and driving, ensure you are familiar with the precautions shown under ‘CATALYTIC CONVERTER’, page 112. In particular, you should be aware that if the engine fails to start, continued use of the starter may result in unburnt fuel damaging the catalytic converter. 1.Check that the parking brake is applied and the gear lever is in ‘P’ or ‘N’. 2.Switch off all unnecessary electrical equipment. 3.Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and then on to position ‘III’ to operate the starter motor. DO NOT press the accelerator pedal while starting, and RELEASE THE KEY as soon as the engine is running. In temperate climates DO NOT operate the starter for longer than 10 seconds. If the engine fails to start, switch off and wait 10 seconds before re-using the starter. Please note that continued use of the starter will discharge the battery and may cause the starter motor to overheat. NOTE: The battery charging and oil pressure warning lights should extinguish as soon as the engine is running.After starting, ensure that the parking brake and foot brake are firmly applied and the accelerator pedal is not depressed while moving the gear selector lever from ‘N’ or ‘P’, otherwise, the vehicle may move immediately if the selector lever is moved to one of the drive positions (1,2,3,D or R). This is particularly important when the engine is cold, because the engine will be idling at a faster speed than normal. Use the foot brake to control the vehicle until the engine is warm and running at normal speed. NOTE: The foot brake MUST be applied before the selector can be moved from ‘P’. Cold climates In very cold climates, if the engine fails to start after three attempts, fully depress the accelerator and operate the starter continually for up to 30 seconds, or until the engine runs. In addition, the oil pressure warning light may take several seconds to extinguish and engine cranking times will also increase; at -13°F (-25°C), the starter motor may need to be operated continuously for as long as 30 seconds before the engine will start. For this reason, ensure that all non-essential electrical equipment is switched off. Block heaters Additionally, in very cold temperatures, use of a 110 V AC block heater will improve the engines starting characteristics. In order to ensure correct performance, only Land Rover approved engine block heaters should be used. In any event, block heaters restricted to a maximum of 400 W should be used. Block heaters that exceed this output may damage the emission control components.
Starting & Driving 109 DRIVING WARNING Vehicle stability Your vehicle 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 different off-road applications. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing the driver to more easily anticipate problems. Inexperienced drivers should take additional care, remembering that the Discovery is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional passenger cars, any more than a low slung sports car is designed to perform satisfactorily in off-road conditions. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the Discovery correctly may result in loss of control or even vehicle rollover. Vehicle height The overall height of your vehicle exceeds that of ordinary passenger cars (for convenience the height is shown on the underside of the sun visor). Always be aware of the height of your vehicle and check the available headroom before driving through low entrances. This is particularly important if the vehicle is fitted with a roof rack or if a sunroof is open. Before driving Learn the layout and function of all the instruments, warning lights and controls. Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position from which you can ensure full control of the vehicle. Always start the vehicle and operate the controls from the driving position.Instruments and warning lights Before driving, it is important to fully understand the function of the instruments and warning lights (see ‘WARNING LIGHTS’, page 64). NOTE: Red warning lights are of particular importance, illumination indicating that a fault exists. If a red light illuminates, always stop the vehicle and seek qualified assistance before continuing. Warming-up In the interests of fuel economy, it is advisable to drive the vehicle straight away, remembering that harsh acceleration or laboring the engine before the normal operating temperature has been reached can damage the engine. When the engine is cold, engine idle speeds will be faster than normal. Under these circumstances, use the foot brake to control the vehicle until the engine is warm and running at normal speed, and be aware of the need to take additional care when manoeuvring the vehicle.
