TIRE PRESSURES
Check pressures when the tires are cold. 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 between 30 - 40 kPa, (4 -6 psi). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out of the tires 
in order to match the recommended pressures.
Note: For more detailed information, see WHEELS AND TIRES, 278.

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.
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, D.C. area) or 
write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of 
Transportation, Washington, 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 
component 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.
BEFORE YOU DRIVE
WARNINGWARNING
Your Range Rover has a higher ground 
clearance and hence, a higher centre 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 manoeuvres. As with 
other vehicles of this type, failure to operate 
the Range Rover 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.

PASSPORT TO SERVICE
The passport to service book included in your 
literature pack contains important vehicle 
identification information, 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.
WARNING
Safety warnings are included in this 
handbook. These indicate a procedure which 
must be followed precisely in order to avoid 
the possibility of personal injury or serious 
damage to the vehicle.
SYMBOLS USED
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.
This symbol identifies those features 
that can be adjusted or disabled/enabled 
by a Land Rover Retailer.
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!
