WARNINGS
Your vehicle has a higher ground
clearance and hence, a higher centre of
gravity than ordina ry passenger cars,
to enable the vehicle to perform in a wide
variety of off-road app lications. An advantage
of the higher ground clea rance 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 passenge r cars any more
than a low-slung sports car is designed to
perform satisfactori ly 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 vehicle
correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle roll-over.
The vehicle should no t be parked over
long dry grass or other combustible
material, particul arly during dry
weather. As the heat ge nerated by the exhaust
and emission control systems may be
sufficient to start a fire.
Before exiting the vehicle ensure that P
park is selected and the park brake
applied. When exiting the vehicle
ensure that the remote control is removed
from the vehicle.

Telephone

L
TelephoneGENERAL INFORMATION
Note: The vehicle tele phone system is
designed to function with a wide variety of
Bluetooth telephones. As these telephones
have a wide range of audio and echo
performance characteristics, it may take a few
seconds for the vehicl e telephone system to
adapt and deliver optimum audio performance.
It may be necessary to reduce the in-vehicle
volume slightly to fully optimise audio
performance and reduce echo. Note:
The vehicle's Bluetooth telephone
system can be used with an appropriate
Bluetooth-equipped mobile telephone.
Note: Please refer to your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for a list of
compatible telephones.
Telephone networks
The Telephone netw ork standard allows you to
use your telephone in many countries.
However, telephone reception may be poor or
unavailable in remote re gions. This may be due
to the inadequate power of the transmitter,
which results in a weak signal or incomplete
coverage.
WARNINGS
Using the telephone ne ar the car: do not
telephone inside a garage or near an
open car bonnet. The air may contain fuel
vapours and the tele phone could produce
sparks and start a fire.
Unusual ambient conditions: Switch off
the telephone in areas where high
explosives are being used. High frequency
remote controls could be interfered with and
cause an explosion. Switch off your telephone
in areas with a high explosion risk. This
includes filling stations, fuel storage areas or
chemical factories, as well as places where the
air contains fuel vapour, chemicals or metal
dust. The telephone might possibly produce
sparks and cause a fire or explosion.
Medical equipment: The functioning of
cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids
may be impaired when the phone is in use.
Check with a doctor or manufacturer whether
any such devices you or your passengers are
using are sufficiently protected against
high-frequency energy.
Always stow your mobile phone
securely. In an accident loose items can
cause injury.
