TIRE PRESSURES
Air pressure naturally increases in warm tires 
(after the vehicle has been driven for a while). If 
you have to check warm tires, you should 
expect the pressures to have increased by 
between 30 and 40 kPa (0.3 to 0.4 bar) (4 to 6 
lbf/in
2). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out 
of the tires in order to match the recommended 
pressures.

REPORTING 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 receives 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....

HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
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 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...

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

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...
