							Introduction
8 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.
·At home, if you have a garage, use it - and
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.IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Remember the breakdown
safety code
If a breakdown occurs while travelling:-
·Wherever possible, consistent with
safety and traffic conditions, the
vehicle should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably onto
the shoulder as far as possible. If a
breakdown occurs on a freeway, pull
well over to the inside of the hard
shoulder.
·Switch on hazard lights.
·If possible, position the warning
triangle (located on the underside of
the loadspace floor panel - see
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
areas).
·Consider evacuating passengers to a
safe area away from the vehicle as a
precaution in case your Range Rover
is struck by another vehicle.

							Locks & alarm
12 Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated
electronic anti-theft alarm system. In order to
ensure maximum security, you are advised to
gain a full understanding of the system by
thoroughly reading this section of the
handbook.
LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE
ALARM
You have been supplied with two
handset/keys (numbered 1 and 2). While both
are identical in operation, they transmit two
different sets of information (seeKey
activated memory seats). Replacement
handsets are only available from a Land Rover
dealer. Up to two further handsets (3 and 4)
can also be obtained.
There are four methods for securing your
vehicle:
1.Superlocking using the handset -
(recommended high security method).
2.Superlocking using the key.
3.Locking using the handset.
4.Locking using the key.
FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY, ALWAYS
SUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE
HANDSET
(except when the vehicle is to be locked with
passengers or animals inside).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Emergency keys
In addition to the two handsets, you have
also been supplied with two separate
keys. These keys perform the same
functions as the key part of the handset
and are intended for emergency use only.
DO NOT keep the keys inside the vehicle.
The handset
The radio remote handset has three buttons
(described below). By pressing the
appropriate button, the handset can be used
either as a conventional key, or as a remote
handset to either lock or superlock the
vehicle.
1.Key release button.
·Press to release the key, which can then
be used as a conventional key to operate
the starter switch, glovebox and door
locks. 
						

							Locks & alarm

2.Lock button (padlock symbol)
·press once to lock.
·press twice to superlock.
3.Unlock button
·press once to unlock.
·press and hold to operate the Key
activated memory seats facility (seeKey
activated memory seats).
Once the security system is armed, the
following features are activated:
·The central locking system locks all the
doors and the tailgate.
·The perimetric alarm (protecting the
doors, hood and tailgate) is armed.
·If handset superlocking is activated, the
volumetric alarm is also armed (a sensor
inside the passenger compartment
monitors the interior space and activates
the alarm if an intrusion into the
passenger compartment is detected).The volumetric sensor will enter a self-check
mode each time you turn the starter switch
off. It will remain active for 60 seconds, or
until:
1.The drivers door is opened and closed.
2.The vehicle is locked with the handset or
key.
NOTE:If the sensor fails its self-check five
times consecutively, only the perimetric
elements of the security system will be active
(doors, hood and tailgate). Any attempt to
superlock with the handset will result in
ALARM FAULT being displayed on the
message centre and a mislock occurring (see
Mislock). Seek qualified assistance to rectify
the fault.
NOTE:The handset complies with part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
1.This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2.This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. This applies to
both alarm receivers and handset
transmitter.
CAUTION:Any changes or modifications to
the transmitter not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the users authority
to operate the equipment.

Anti-theft alarm indicator light
After locking the vehicle, the RED indicator
light (arrowed in illustration) flashes rapidly
for ten seconds to confirm that the security
system has been successfully armed. After ten
seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower
frequency, and then continues to flash as an
anti-theft deterrent until such time as the
security system is disarmed.
If, while operating the handset (or key), the
alarm sounds, this indicates that one of the
doors, the hood or the tailgate is not properly
closed (the message centre display will
confirm which aperture is not secure).
Although the handset can be successfully
operated from a significant distance from the
vehicle, when locking it is wise to be close
enough to visually confirm that the door
locking buttons have dropped into place and
that the indicator light confirms a successful
lock.
NOTE:Occasional atmospheric conditions
can significantly reduce the effective range of
handset operation. If this occurs, operate the
handset closer to the vehicle. In the most
extreme cases, it may be necessary to touch
the handset against the radio aerial fired onto
one of the rear side windows.
If the message centre displays KEY BATTERY
LOW, this indicates that the handset batteries
need replacing (seeHandset batteries).SUPERLOCKING
If the vehicle is superlocked (with either the
handset, or the key), the doors CANNOT be
unlocked or opened from inside the vehicle.
For this reason DO NOT superlock the vehicle
with passengers inside.
Superlocking using the handset:
Press and release the lock button (1) on the
handset twice (within 1
1/2seconds). After 15
seconds you will hear superlocking engage.
If any door, the hood or tailgate is left open, a
mislock will occur (seeMislock).
If a window or sunroof is open, superlocking
will engage immediately, however volumetric
protection will not be activated.
To unlock:
Press and release the unlock button (2) on
the handset once.
If the handset is inoperative, the vehicle can
be unlocked by using the key in the drivers
door lock. 
						

							Locks & alarm
15 Superlocking using the key:
Wherever possible the handset MUST be used
to superlock the vehicle. However, if the
handset is inoperative, the key can be used as
follows:
Turn the key in the drivers door towards the
rear of the vehicle (and release) twice within
1
1/2seconds.
NOTE:Superlocking the vehicle using the
key will provide perimetric protection only -
volumetric protection (protection of the
interior space inside the vehicle) WILL NOT
BE ACTIVE! If any door, the hood, or the
tailgate is left open, a mislock will occur (see
Mislock).
To unlock:
Wherever possible use the handset to unlock
the vehicle - press and release the unlock
button.
If necessary, the key can also be used to
unlock a superlocked vehicle.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If unattended passengers are to be left in
the vehicle, it is recommended that they
should lock the vehicle from inside by
pressing down the drivers door sill
button.
If animals are to be left in the vehicle,
volumetric protection MUST NOT be
activated - any movement inside the
vehicle could trigger the alarm.
DO NOT leave children unattended in the
vehicle!
WARNING
NEVER superlock the vehicle if passengers
are to be left inside - superlocking
prevents door locks from being operated
from INSIDE as well as outside the vehicle!
NOTE:If the handset lock button or the door
key are operated once, the central locking will
be activated, but the alarm will only be in
perimetric mode and the doors and locks
CAN be opened from the inside. ALWAYS,
where possible secure the vehicle by
superlocking.
Sill locking
To operate the central locking from inside the
vehicle, push down either front door sill
button.
The security system will NOT be armed.
NOTE:Sill locking is NOT possible from
outside the vehicle. 
						

							Locks & alarm
16 MISLOCK
A mislock will occur if:
·A door, hood or tailgate are left open.
·The key is left in the starter switch.
·An incomplete all close is attempted. The
message centre will indicate the cause of a
mislock e.g. SUNROOF BLOCKED.
If a mislock occurs, a warning bleep will
sound in which case you should unlock the
vehicle, rectify the cause of the mislock and
then re-lock the vehicle.
ALL CLOSE FEATURE
The key activated all close feature enables
you to use the key to close the windows and
sunroof at the same time as you secure the
vehicle.
To operate:
1.Ensure the doors, hood and tailgate are
properly closed.
2.Turn and hold the key in the lock position
(turn twice and hold on the second turn if
Superlocking).
The doors and tailgate will lock and the
windows, followed by the sunroof will close.
NOTE:If a window or the sunroof detects an
obstruction, a mislock occurs and the locking
sequence will stop. Remove the obstruction
before trying to use the all close feature
again.KEY ACTIVATED MEMORY SEATS
This feature enables the handsets to be used
to recall the pre-set electric seat/mirror
positions when you UNLOCK the door. The
two handsets are separately identified by
different labels and by grey and black battery
covers - key 1 corresponds to drivers seat
memory 1, and key 2 to seat memory 2 (see
Seats).
NOTE:If additional handset/keys have been
obtained (key 3 & key 4), they are not linked
to the memory seat system.
Press and hold the unlock button on the
handset for 1
1/2seconds (the indicator light
on the handset flashes rapidly), and then
release. The drivers seat and both mirrors will
move to the positions programmed into the
relevant seat memory.
NOTE:This feature will only operate if
volumetric protection was activated when the
vehicle was locked (ie. by superlocking using
the handset).
It will not function if the alarm system has
already been triggered since it was last set,
and will be cancelled if a door is opened, or if
the vehicle is relocked. 
						

							Locks & alarm
17 AUTO RELOCK
Auto relock ensures that, if the vehicle is
unlocked accidentally, the vehicle will relock
itself automatically after a 60 second delay.
Once the unlock button on the handset has
been pressed, the alarm system will monitor
the vehicle for 60 seconds. If any of the
following occur during this period, the vehicle
will remain unlocked:
·A door or the tailgate is opened.
·Interior movement is detected.
·The key is inserted into the starter switch,
or the switch is turned to position I.
However, if none of the above has occurred
within 60 seconds, then the vehicle will
automatically return to its previous locked
state.
OPENING THE DOORS
When opening a door from outside the
vehicle, it is recommended that the moving
part of the handle is held by the fingers and
that the door catch is operated by pushing
with the thumb against the fixed part of the
handle.
CHILD-PROOF LOCKS(rear doors only)
Move the lever downwards (arrowed in
illustration) to engage.
With the child-proof locks engaged, the rear
doors cannot be opened from inside the
vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door
being opened accidentally while the vehicle is
moving.
WARNING
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle.
