Introduction
For your convenience, this handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of 
the unit. 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 audio unit 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.
* An asterisk appearing within the text, identifies features or items of equipment that are fitted as 
options.
     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

							Radio Reception

Visteon Control Panel
R adio Rec eptionRADIO RECEPTION
Distortion, interference and lack of signal 
clarity, are often attributed to a fault in the radio 
- this is rarely the case.
Problems of this kind are usually caused by 
phenomena such as atmospheric conditions, 
signal strength, hilly terrain, tall buildings, 
bridges and even electrical interference from 
power lines.
Please remember: A car radio receives signals 
while the vehicle is in motion (unlike a domestic 
set) - constantly changing direction and moving 
away from, or nearer to, the transmitter whilst 
negotiating terrain with widely differing 
reception characteristics. Some interference is 
to be expected from time to time.
FM transmitters can only broadcast over a 
limited range and good, clear signals will only 
be received in the immediate area of the 
transmitter. When travelling, it may be 
necessary to re-tune the radio from time to 
time, to offset the effects of moving from one 
transmitter area to another. While RBDS automatic retuning eases this 
problem, some manual retuning may still be 
needed (especially for local stations) in areas of 
weak reception.
The broadcast range for good stereo reception 
(usually within a 30 to 40 miles radius of the 
transmitter) is noticeably less than it is for 
mono.
FM Signals (like light waves) travel in a straight 
line, so large obstacles, such as tall buildings, 
can shield the car from the signal causing 
distortion or loss of reception (known as dead 
spots).
Distortion can also occur if FM signals received 
directly from the transmitter mix with signals 
which have been reflected by obstructions such 
as mountains, hills and tall buildings (this is 
known as multi-path distortion).

							Care of Compact Discs

CARE OF COMPACT DISCS
Dirt, dust, condensation and heat can damage 
discs. Always observe the following 
precautions:
NEVER touch the playing surface (the 
unlabelled side) of a disc. Handle discs by 
holding the outer edges, or the edge of the 
central hole and the outer edge, between finger 
and thumb.
ALWAYS return discs to their boxes after use to 
prevent contamination (dirt detracts from the 
sound quality).NEVER leave the disc or the box exposed to 
excessive heat or direct sunlight.
NEVER use a solvent or abrasive cleaner. Dust 
or dirt should be removed from the playing 
surface by wiping with a clean, dry, lint-free 
cloth. Always wipe in a straight line from the 
centre to the edge of the disc.
If minor scratches on the surface of a compact 
disc cause skipping or mistracking, use CD 
restorer polish to remove the scratches and 
improve the performance of the disc. When 
using CD restorer polish, always follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: Some music CD manufacturers are using data encryption to copy-protect their recordings 
and prevent the production of pirate copies. These CDs differ from the internationally agreed CD 
audio standard, RedBook, which is the standard that serves as the operating basis for all CD players 
and changers.
Copy-protected CDs may not play in your Audio unit or CD changer or may be played subject to 
various limitations, e.g., sound quality may be impaired.
If you do experience a problem, try the CD in other players before contacting the CD vendor.

ignition, the unit must have been switched off 
previously via the ignition.
With the ignition switched off, the unit can be 
switched on via the On/Off button. The unit 
switches off automatically after 1 hour to 
conserve battery power.
To deactivate the unit, either switch off the 
ignition or press the On/Off button.
Adjusting the volume
Turn the rotary control (11). The volume is 
increased or decreased.The unit has five additional features associated 
with volume control:
Automatic volume control (AVC)
This function automatically adjusts the volume 
level to compensate for engine and road noise. 
To activate the function:
A.Press the M button (9) repeatedly until the 
AVC display appears.
B.Press the seek control buttons (8) to 
adjust the level of compensation, 
including AVC OFF. The higher the
