flash once and the interior lights illuminate.
With the key: 
In addition to remote handset operation, the 
door can be unlocked and the alarm disarmed 
manually using the key. 
Superlocking (if enabled)
Superlocking provides greater security by 
immobilising the interior door handles, thereby 
preventing an intruder from gaining entry by 
smashing a window and reaching inside the 
vehicle to operate the door handles. 
Provided all the doors are fully closed; 
Superlocking is activated by pressing the 
handset lock button twice within one second or 
turning the door lock to the lock position with 
the key twice within one second.
The direction indicator lights will flash three 
times after superlocking has been activated and 
once after superlocking has been de-activated.
WARNING
For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if 
passengers are to remain inside the vehicle - 
in an emergency they would not be able to 
escape.

Anti-theft alarm indicator light
This light provides information about the status 
of the alarm system, as follows:
When the vehicle is locked: 
The light flashes rapidly while the alarm is 
arming itself. After ten seconds, the light 
adjusts to a slower frequency and continues to 
flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is 
disarmed. 
If the engine is immobilised (even though the 
alarm has been disarmed): 
The light may flash slowly, or be illuminated 
continuously, until the engine is remobilised.
If the alarm has been triggered: 
The light will flash rapidly when the alarm is 
disarmed until the starter switch is turned to 
position II.
If the remote handset battery power is low: 
The light will flash rapidly for ten seconds after 
the handset has been used when the drivers 
door is opened. 
Mislock
If the drivers door is not fully closed when the 
handset lock button is pressed, the alarm 
sounder or vehicle horn will sound once, 
indicating a mislock. In this case, none of the 
doors will lock and the alarm system will not be 
armed.If a passenger door or other aperture is not fully 
closed when the handset lock button is 
pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will 
sound once, indicating a mislock. However, the 
‘partial arming’ attributes of the security system 
will enable as much of the system to be armed 
as possible (all fully closed door or hood 
apertures will be protected, but an open door 
will not!). As soon as the open aperture is 
closed, the system will automatically revert to a 
fully armed state. 
NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open 
door, the superlocking features will not be 
activated.
The mislock audible warning can be 
disabled by a Land Rover retailer.
If the alarm sounds
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm sounder or 
vehicle horn will sound for 30 seconds before 
switching off and resetting itself to the same 
protection status that existed prior to the alarm 
being triggered.
To silence the alarm, press either button on the 
remote handset.
Headlight courtesy delay (if enabled)
When locking the vehicle, the remote handset 
can be used to illuminate the headlights for 30 
seconds. At night this will make it easier for you 
to unlock the garage, or walk to your house in 
safety. Operate this feature at the same time as 
you lock the car, by keeping the handset LOCK 
button pressed for more than 2 seconds (the 
doors lock and alarm system arms in the usual 
way).
To extinguish the lights before the 30 second 
illumination period has expired, press the lock 
button again.
The headlight courtesy delay can be 
disabled by a Land Rover retailer.

Single point entry (if enabled)
This is a personal security feature, which 
enables the drivers door only to be unlocked, 
leaving the other doors in a locked state. It can 
be operated by the remote handset as follows:
•press the unlock button once to unlock the 
drivers door.
•press a second time (within one minute) to 
unlock the remaining doors.
Single point entry can be disabled by a 
Land Rover retailer.
Interior locking switch
This is a personal security feature which allows 
the driver to lock (or unlock) all the doors from 
inside the vehicle (while driving or with the 
vehicle stationary). Press the lower part of the 
switch to lock (the alarm will not be armed), 
and the upper part to unlock.
NOTE: If the locks have already been 
superlocked, the switch will not release the 
locks.Interior door handles and door sill locking 
buttons
From inside the vehicle, each door can be 
individually locked by depressing the 
appropriate door sill button. However, doors 
cannot be unlocked by raising the sill button.
Use the door handles to unlock, as follows:
•First operation of the door handle unlocks 
the door.
•Second operation of the door handle opens 
the door.
Speed-related locking
*
This security feature locks all the doors 
automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 
4 mph, and unlocks the doors as soon as the 
starter switch is turned off (provided the doors 
had previously been locked by the 
speed related feature). 
Note speed-related locking is not selectable by 
the driver, and that operation of the door locks 
by any other means (interior locking switch on 
the fascia panel, for example) will disable the 
speed-related locking function for the 
remainder of the journey, or until the starter 
switch is turned off and on again.
Speed related locking can be selected or 
deselected by a Land Rover retailer.

REMOTE HANDSET BATTERY
The battery should last for approximately 
three years dependent upon use. When the 
battery needs to be replaced will be apparent 
from the following symptoms:
•A gradual deterioration in range and 
performance.
•The alarm indicator light in the instrument 
panel will flash rapidly for 10 seconds after 
the drivers door is opened. 
Always fit a Land Rover YWX10003L or a 
Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery 
(available from a Land Rover retailer).
CAUTION: The handset contains delicate 
electronic circuits and must be protected from 
impact and water damage, high temperatures 
and humidity, direct sunlight and the effects of 
solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.
Battery replacement
1.With the handset face down, insert the 
blade of a small flat-bladed screwdriver 
into the slot at the rear of the handset (see 
inset) and prise the back upwards.2.Insert the screwdriver blade as shown in 
the right hand inset and then carefully 
slide it along the joint towards the key to 
release the back of the handset.
3.Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to 
prise the battery from its mounting (see 
illustration), taking care to avoid touching 
the circuit board or the metal battery 
contacts.
4.Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct 
polarity is maintained (‘+’ side facing up). 
Finger marks will adversely affect battery 
life; if possible, avoid touching the flat 
surfaces of the battery and wipe them 
clean before fitting.
5.Press the two halves of the handset firmly 
together and ensure that both halves are 
fully joined to prevent dirt or moisture 
from entering the handset.
The handset is now ready for use.

CHILD-PROOF LOCKS
Move the locking levers on the rear doors and 
taildoor down to engage the child locks.
With the child-proof locks engaged, neither the 
rear doors nor the taildoor can be opened from 
inside the vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a 
door being opened accidentally while the 
vehicle is moving.
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH, NEVER LEAVE 
CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED IN THE VEHICLE.
DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH
An inertia switch, operational only with the 
starter switch in position ‘II’ and the alarm 
disarmed, prevents the doors centrally locking 
(or if the doors are locked, will unlock them) in 
the event of an accident or sudden impact.
When the switch operates, the direction 
indicator lights flash (if market permits), until 
the system is reset by turning the starter switch 
on and off, and opening and closing the drivers 
door.
Note that doors cannot be locked again until the 
switch is reset. The inertia switch also cuts off 
the fuel supply (see ‘FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH’, 
page 117).
WARNING
Always check for fuel leaks before resetting 
the switch!
Activating the switch when the fuel system 
has been damaged (evidenced by fuel 
leakage or fuel odor) will cause additional 
fuel leakage increasing the risk of fire and 
personal injury.

SeatsSITTING CORRECTLY
The seats, head restraints, seat belts and 
airbags all contribute to the protection of the 
occupants. Optimal use of these components 
will give you more protection. Therefore, 
observe the following points:
•Sit in the most upright position with the 
base of your spine as far back as possible 
and the backrest not reclined more than 30 
degrees.
•Adjust the head restraints so that the top of 
the head restraint is level with the upper 
portion of the head.
•Do not move the front seat too close to the 
instrument panel. The driver should hold the 
steering wheel with slightly bent arms. The 
legs should also be slightly bent so that the 
pedals can be pressed to the floor.
•The seat belt should rest in the center of the 
shoulder. The lap part should fit tightly 
across the hips and not on the stomach.
POWER OPERATED FRONT SEATS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of loss of control and 
personal injury, DO NOT adjust the drivers 
seat while the vehicle is in motion.
The seat adjustment controls are situated on 
the side of the centrally mounted cubby box.
Seat adjustment is only possible when the 
starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ or for 45 
seconds after opening the drivers door. 
Forward/backward adjustment
Push and hold the switch forwards or 
backwards to move the seat to the desired 
position.

Seat back adjustment
Twist the switch forward or backward until the 
desired seat back angle is achieved.
WARNING
DO NOT travel with the seat backs reclined 
steeply rearwards. Sit in the most upright 
position with the base of your spine as far 
back as possible and the seat back not 
reclined more than 30 degrees from the 
vertical.
Failure to maintain the correct seat back 
angle will reduce the effectiveness of the seat 
belts and increase the risk of serious injury or 
death in a crash.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Pull the head restraint up or down until the 
cushion is level with the back of the head.
WARNING
Head restraints are designed to support the 
back of the head (NOT THE NECK), and to 
restrain rearward movement of the head in 
the event of a collision. The restraint must be 
positioned level with the head to be effective.
DO NOT drive or carry passengers with the 
head restraints removed from occupied seats, 
or adjust the head restraints while the vehicle 
is in motion.
Failure to have the head restraint installed 
and properly positioned will increase the 
potential for serious injuries.
Head restraint removal
Turn both mounting collars fully anti-clockwise 
and pull the restraint upwards to remove.
After replacing a head restraint turn the 
mounting collars clockwise.

FOLDING ARMRESTS*
Some vehicles are fitted with adjustable front 
seat armrests, which can be either stowed 
vertically in line with the seat backrest when not 
required, or folded horizontally to serve as an 
arm/elbow rest.
The height/angle of each armrest can be 
adjusted by turning the knob set into the end of 
the armrest: clockwise to raise and 
anti-clockwise to lower.
HEATED FRONT SEATS*
With the starter switch turned on and the 
engine running, press the switches to operate 
the heating elements in either the drivers or 
front passenger seat (the indicator light in the 
switch illuminates). Press a second time to 
switch off.
The seat heaters are thermostatically controlled 
and operate intermittently to achieve and then 
maintain a predetermined temperature between 
79°F and 97°F (26° - 36°C).
H2553
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The seat heaters consume considerable
power from the battery. For this reason, 
they should ONLY be operated while the 
engine is running.
