21 Gas Station Information R 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.

25 General Information R General Information 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. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your Retailer or Land Rover North America Inc. Auto safety hotline To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety HOTLINE toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in the Washington, DC. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the HOTLINE. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING WARNING Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of components wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
General Information 26 L 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 perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. For important safety information, be sure to read the ‘On-Road’ and ‘Off-Road’ driving guidelines given later in this handbook. SYMBOLS The following symbols used within the handbook call your attention to specific types of information. This recycling symbol identifies those items that must be disposed of safely in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the environment.

These indicate either a procedure which must be followed precisely, or information that should be considered with great care in order to avoid the possibility of personal injury. Caution: Cautions are included in this handbook. These indicate either a procedure which must be followed precisely, or information that should be considered with great care in order to avoid the possibility of damage to the vehicle. WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE Warning labels attached to your vehicle bearing this symbol mean: DO NOT touch or adjust components until you have read the relevant instructions in the handbook. Warning labels showing this symbol indicate that the ignition system utilises very high voltages. DO NOT touch any ignition components while the starter switch is turned on!
27 General Information R PASSPORT TO SERVICE The Passport to Service book included in your literature pack contains important vehicle identification information, details of your entitlement under the terms of the Land Rover Warranty, as well as useful consumer advice. 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 should sign and stamp to certify that the routine services have been carried out at the recommended intervals. TIRE PRESSURE LABELS Information on tire pressures for differing tires and vehicle loadings is given on a label attached to the ’B’ post on the driver’s side. For further information on tire pressures, see TIRE PRESSURES, 338, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM*, 282 , WHEELS & TIRES, 337. TOW BAR LABEL A label, located on the inside face of the rear bumper access hatch, shows the attachment and removal procedure for the tow bar system. For information on removing and fitting the detachable tow bar, see Towing, 216.

General Information 28 L SUN VISOR LABELS Always take careful note of warning information about the airbag SRS affixed to the driver’s and passenger’s sun visor. An additional label, located on the ’B’ post, warns against the use of rear-facing child seats in the front passenger seat. For further information concerning the airbag SRS and the use of child restraints, consult the relevant sections of this handbook. BRAKE PADS Brake pads require a period of bedding in. For the first 800 km (500 miles), you should avoid situations where heavy braking is required. Remember! Regular servicing is vital to ensure that the brake pads are examined for wear and changed periodically to ensure long term safety and optimum performance. IN AN EMERGENCY Remember the breakdown safety code •Wherever possible, consistent with road safety and traffic conditions, the vehicle should be moved off the main thoroughfare, preferably into an emergency lane. If a breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to the inside of the hard shoulder. •Switch on hazard lights. •If possible, position a warning triangle or a flashing amber light at an appropriate distance from the vehicle to warn other traffic of the breakdown, (note the legal requirements of some countries). •Consider evacuating passengers through nearside doors onto the verge as a precaution in case your vehicle is accidentally struck by other traffic. front ta H5789N
29 General Information R 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 using the remote handset. Thieves are attracted by ‘vulnerable’ vehicles. Even if you have followed the ‘four point’ drill, there is still much you can do to make your vehicle a less inviting target. BE SAFE - NOT SORRY! •Park where your vehicle can be easily seen by householders and passers-by. •At night, park in well lit areas and avoid deserted or dimly-lit side streets. •NEVER leave the keys in the vehicle. •Do not keep important documents (or spare keys) in the vehicle - these are a real bonus for the thief. BREAKING-IN Proper breaking-in will have a direct bearing on the reliability and smooth running of your vehicle throughout its life. In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and tires need time to ‘bed-in’ and adjust to the demands of everyday motoring. During the first 500 miles (800 km), it is essential to drive with consideration for the running-in process and heed the following advice: •LIMIT maximum road speed to 70 mph (110 km/h) or 3,000 rev/min. Initially, drive the vehicle on a light throttle and only increase engine speeds gradually once the breaking-in distance has been completed. •DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the engine to labour in any gear. •AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking except in emergencies.
General Information 30 L ON-BOARD EVENT DATA Service data recording Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or brakes. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Land Rover and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle. Event data recording Other modules in your vehicle - event data recorders - are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near-crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as: •How various systems in your vehicle were operating. •Whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts were buckled. •How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the brake pedal. •How fast the vehicle was travelling. •Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.To access this information special equipment must be connected directly to the recording modules. Land Rover do not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Land Rover.
