AUTOMATIC MIRROR DIPPING
If your vehicle is fitted with the driver’s seat 
memory option, the door mirrors may dip when 
reverse gear is selected. This gives the driver a 
view of the curbside to aid vehicle positioning 
when reversing.
The feature is optional and can be adjusted by 
the user. 
For more detailed information on automatic 
mirror dipping, see Automatic mirror 
dipping*, 88.
REMOVING THE ’BOOM’
If a resonance/booming sound occurs with only 
the rear windows open, lowering a front 
window about 25 mm (1 inch) will eliminate the 
condition. This will change the frequency of the 
air volume moving in/out of the vehicle and 
thus lessen or remove the booming sound.
OCCUPANT DETECTION
The front passenger seat is equipped with an 
occupancy sensor which measures the weight 
on the cushion and changes the passenger 
airbag status.
The occupancy sensor operates as follows:
† It is possible to receive an intermittent 
indicator with an empty seat condition. This is 
part of the system’s adaptive behaviour, and 
does not affect the status of the passenger 
airbag. However, if the indicator becomes 
permanently illuminated when the seat is 
definitely empty, then contact your Land Rover 
Retailer immediately.
WARNING
Do not use a child restraint on a seat 
protected by an operational air bag in front of 
it.
There is a risk of death or serious injury when 
the airbag deploys.
The safest place for children is properly 
restrained in the rear seats.

VOICE RECOGNITION*
Voice control provides a safe and convenient 
way of operating the audio system without the 
need to operate the controls manually. This 
enables you to concentrate fully on driving the 
vehicle, and removes the need to divert your 
attention from the road ahead in order to 
change settings, or receive feedback from the 
system.
A number of voice commands are available, and 
with a little experience you will find them easy 
and convenient to use. Whenever you issue one 
of the defined commands with the system 
active, the voice control system converts your 
command into a control signal for the audio 
system. Your inputs take the form of dialogues 
or commands. You are guided through these 
dialogues by announcements or questions.
Activating the systemTo activate voice control:
•Briefly pull the control paddle (your Audio 
will mute at this point). A brief acoustic 
signal will be heard, and ‘LISTENING’ will 
be displayed on the main message centre 
to indicate that the system is now waiting 
for a voice command.
Note: It is only necessary to use the steering 
wheel voice control paddle at the beginning of 
each voice session.
Defined voice commands
The voice control system understands 
predominate commands which need to be 
quoted word for word.
An audio feedback of voice commands is 
available. To activate the feedback, pull the 
voice control paddle briefly and give one of the 
following commands:
General commands
•Voice help  To list all commands.
•Notepad Help  To list Notepad commands.
Audio commands
•Radio help  To list Radio commands.
•CD help  To list CD commands.
Please refer to the Audio System Handbook 
for full operating instructions.
Navigation & Telephone commands
•Phone help To list telephone commands.
•Navigation help  To list Navigation 
commands.
Please refer to the Navigation, TV & 
Telephone Handbook for full operating 
instructions.
For further information see VOICE 
RECOGNITION*, 162.
