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.

DATA RECORDING
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 syst ems and modules in the
vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or
brakes.
In order to properly di agnose and service your
vehicle, Land Rover a nd service and repair
facilities may access vehicle diagnostic
information through a direct connection to
your vehicle.
Event data recording
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 oc cupants, 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 pursuan t 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 independe ntly of Land Rover.
DISABILITY MODIFICATIONS
Occupants with disabili ties which may require
modification of the vehi cle must contact a Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer before any
modifications are made.
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
WARNINGS
The fitting of non-approved parts and

non-approved alterations or
conversions, may be dangerous and could
affect the safety of th e vehicle and occupants
and also invalidate the terms and conditions of
the vehicle warranty.
Land Rover will not accept any liability
for death, personal injury or damage to
property which may occur as a direct
result of fitment of non-approved accessories
or the carrying out of non-approved
conversions to La nd Rover vehicles.

suspension or steering system. This
could seriously affe ct the handling and
stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control
or roll-over.

Introduction
38
L
The vehicle has been designed, built and tested
to cope with a variet y of off-road driving
conditions, some of which can place the
severest possible demands on control systems
and components. As such , fitting replacement
parts and accessories that have been
developed and tested to the same stringent
standards as the orig inal components will
safeguard the continued reliability, safety and
performance of your vehicle.
To augment the vehicle's already impressive
performance, a compre hensive range of Land
Rover approved spare parts and accessories is
available, enabling the vehicle to fulfil a wide
variety of roles, and enhancing and protecting
the vehicle in the many tasks to which it can be
applied.
Land Rover parts are the only parts built to
original equipment specifications and
approved by Land Rover designers; this means
that every single part and accessory has been
rigorously tested by the same engineering
team that designed and built the vehicle and
can therefore be guaranteed for twelve months
with unlimited mileage.
A full list and description of all accessories is
available from your Land Rover Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
Electrical equipment
Always consult a Land Rover Dealer/
Authorised Repairer before fitting any
accessory.
Fitting inferior quality parts or accessories,
may be dangerous and could invalidate the
vehicle warranty.
It is recommended that you always consult a
Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice regarding the approval, suitability,
installation and use of an y parts or accessories
before fitting.

Seat belts
R
Seat belt checks
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a
fault, and the belt shoul d be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts, or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting
points.
Checks
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact you Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
If the driver's se at belt is not
fastened when the vehicle is in
motion, a chime will be heard and
the seat belt warning i ndicator will illuminate.
The warning chime and indicator will also be
activated if the front passenger seat is
occupied without the seat belt being fastened.
Note: Objects placed on the front passenger
seat may activate the seat belt reminder
warning chime and indicator. It is
recommended that any objects placed on the
front passenger seat are secured using the seat
belt.
Care must be
taken to avoid
contaminating the seat belt webbing,
and seat belt mechanisms with any
chemicals, liquids, gr it, dirt, or cleaning
products. If the seat belts do become
contaminated they should be replaced
immediately. Contaminated seat belts my not
operate correctly in an impact and cannot be
relied upon.

WARNINGS
High speed impacts may cause serious
injury or death irre spective of safety
features fitted to a vehicle. Always
drive with caution and consideration for the
vehicle's characteristics, road and weather
conditions, and do not exceed any speed limits
in force.
Seat belts should be worn at all times,
by the driver and passengers in all
seating positions. The airbag SRS
cannot provide protection in some types of
impact. Under these circumstances the only
protection will be provided by a correctly worn
seat belt.
Airbags inflate at high speeds, and can
cause injuries. To minimise the risk of
injury, ensure that all vehicle
occupants wear correct ly positioned seat
belts, sit correctly in the seats, and position
the seats as far back as practical.
Ensure that a gap is maintained
between the side of the vehicle, and the
head and torso. This will enable
unobstructed inflation of the curtain, and seat
mounted side airbags.
Airbag inflation takes place
instantaneously, a nd cannot protect
against the effects of secondary
impacts. Under these circumstances the only
protection will be provided by a correctly worn
seat belt.
