STEERINGCOLUMNLOCK To unlock the steeringcolumn Insertthe ignitionkeyFULLYand turn the starterswitchto position ’I’ . To lock the steeringcolumn Turn the starterswitchto position ’0’,select ’P’ (park)and withdrawthe keyfrom the starterswitch.

WARNING Do not under any circumstancesturn the key to the ’O’ position whilst the vehicleis moving.This will lock the steeringwheel resultingin a loss of vehiclecontrol.To preventthe steeringcolumn lock engaging it is most important that, before the vehicleis moved in any way,the key be insertedin the lock and turned to position ’I’. If, due to an accidentor electricalfault, it is not consideredsafe to turn the key,disconnect the negative lead of the batteryand turn the key. STARTERSWITCH The starterswitchis locatedto the rightof the steeringcolumn,and usesthe following sequenceof keypositionsto operatethe steeringlock,electricalcircuitsand starter motor. Position ’0’ Steeringlocked(ifkeyis removed).Fuelfiller flapcan be opened. Most lightingcircuitsareoperational, including:parklights,headlightsand hazard warninglights. Position ’I’ Steeringunlocked. Radio/cassette/CDplayer,electricwindows, wipersand washerscan be operated. Position ’II’ Allinstruments,warninglightsand electrical circuitsareoperational. Position ’III’ Startermotor operates. Releasethe starterkeyimmediatelythe engine starts(thekeywillautomaticallyreturnto position ’II’). Notethat operationof position ’I’ electrical functionswillbe interruptedduringengine cranking.

NOTE: Gearboxposition ’P’ or ’N’ must be selectedbeforethe enginewillstart.

NOTE: Gearboxposition ’P’ must alwaysbe selectedbeforethe starterkeycan be removed.

STARTING CAUTION The catalyticconverteris easilydamaged by improperuse, particularlyif leaded fuel is used, or if an engine misfireoccurs.

Beforestartingthe engineand driving, ENSUREthat you arefamiliarwith the precautionsshown under ’Catalyticconverter’ laterin thissection. In particular,you should be awarethat if the enginefailsto start,continueduse of the startermay resultin unburnt fueldamaging the catalyticconverter. Starting procedure 1. Checkthat the parkingbrakeis applied and that the gearselectoris in ’P’ or ’N’ . 2. Switchoff allunnecessaryelectrical equipment. 3. Turn the starterswitchto position ’II’ and then on to position ’III’ to operatethe startermotor; DONOTpressthe acceleratorpedalwhilststarting.RELEASE

THE KEY as soon as the engineis running. In temperateclimatesDONOToperatethe starterfor longerthan 5 seconds;if the engine failsto start,switchoff and waitfor 10 secondsbeforere-usingthe starter.Notethat continueduse of the starterwilldischargethe battery.In temperateclimatesthe battery chargingand oilpressurewarninglights should extinguishas soon as the engineis running. In verycold climates,if the enginefailsto startafterthreeattempts,fullydepressthe acceleratorand operatethe startercontinually for up to 30 seconds,or untilthe engineruns. WARNING Exhaust fumes contain poisonous substanceswhich can cause unconsciousnessand may even be fatal. • DONOTinhale exhaust gases. • DONOTstartor leave the engine running in an enclosed unventilated area, or drivewith the tailgate door open. • DONOTmodify the exhaust systemfrom the original design. • Repairexhaust systemor body leaks immediately. • If you think exhaust fumes are entering the vehiclehave the cause determined and correctedimmediately.

Cold climates In verycold climatesthe oilpressurewarning lightsmay takeseveralsecondsto extinguish. Similarly,enginecrankingtimeswillalso increase;at -22˚F (-30˚C)the startermotor may need to be operatedcontinuouslyfor as long as 30 secondsbeforethe enginewill start.For thisreason,ensurethat all non-essentialelectricalequipmentis switched off. Additionally,in verycold temperatures,use of a 110V AC blockheaterwillimprovethe engine’sstartingcharacteristics.Only approvedblockheaters,restrictedto a maximumof 400W, should be used. Block heatersthat exceedthisoutput may damage the emissioncontrolcomponents.Your Land Roverretailercan adviseyou about the supply and use of a blockheater.

DRIVING

WARNING Your Range Roverhas a higher ground clearanceand, therefore,a higher centreof gravitythan ordinarypassengercars,to enable the vehicleto performin a wide varietyof off-roadapplications.An advantage of the higher ground clearance, is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems.The Range Roveris not designed for corneringat the same speed as conventionalpassengercars,any more than a low slung sportscar is designed to performsatisfactorilyunder off-road conditions.If at all possible,avoid sharp turnsor abrupt manoeuvres.As with other vehiclesof this type,failure to operate the Range Rovercorrectlymay resultin loss of controlor vehiclerollover.Be sure to read the "on-road"and "off-road"driving guidelines that follow.

Before driving Learnthe layoutand functionof allthe instruments,warninglightsand controls. Adjustthe seatto a comfortabledriving position,from whichyou can ensurefull controlof the vehicle. Alwaysstartthe vehicleand operatethe controlsfrom the drivingposition. Instruments& warning lights Beforedriving,it is importantto fully understandthe functionof the instruments and warninglightsdescribedin section2.

NOTE: Redwarninglightsareof particular importance,illuminationindicatesthat a fault exists.If a red lightilluminatesalwaysstop the vehicleand seekqualifiedassistance beforecontinuing. Shift interlock Your vehicleis fittedwith gearchanging interlocks,whichrequirethe starterswitchto be turnedon and the brakepedaldepressed, beforethe gearselectorcan be moved from the ’P’ (Park)position.

WARNING When the engine has started,BEFORE moving the gear selectorleverout of ’P’ or ’N’,it is important that both parkingbrake and foot brake are firmlyapplied and that the acceleratorpedal is not depressedotherwise,the vehiclemay move immediately if the gear leveris moved to any of the drivepositions(1, 2, 3, D or R). This is particularlyimportant when the engine is cold because the engine will be idling at a fasterspeed than normal.Usethe foot brake to controlthe vehicle,until the engine is warm and running at normal speed.

Warming-up In the interestsof fueleconomy,it is advisable to drivethe vehiclestraightaway, rememberingthat harshaccelerationor labouringthe enginebeforethe normal operatingtemperaturehas been reachedcan damagethe engine. When the engineis cold, engineidlespeeds willbe fasterthan normal.Underthese circumstances,use the foot braketo control the vehicleuntilthe engineis warmand runningat normalspeed,and be awareof the need to takeadditionalcarewhen manoeuvringthe vehicle. Vehicle height The overallheightof your vehicleexceedsthat of an ordinarycar(evenwhen ACCESS ride heightis selected).Alwaysbe awareof the heightof your vehicleand checkthe available clearancebeforedrivingthrough low entrances.This is particularlyimportantif the vehicleis fittedwith a roof rackor if the sunroofis open. Power assistedsteering The hydraulicpower-assistedsteeringis equippedwith a positive ’centrefeel’ characteristic,whichgivesenhancedvehicle stabilityat high speedsand in crosswinds. Powerassistanceis progressivelyappliedthe morethe steeringwheelis turned.For example:wheremanualsteeringeffortwould normallybe greatest(atslowspeedson maximumlock),powerassistanceis at its greatest.Similarly,whereonly minimal steeringeffortwould normallybe required(at high speedwith the wheelsstraightahead), then powerassistanceis alsominimal,thus enablingthe driverto benefitfrom apparently consistentsteeringeffortat alltimes.

NOTE: Powerassistanceis dependenton the enginerunning.If the engineis not running, greatereffortwillbe requiredto steerthe vehicle.

Auxiliaryequipment

WARNING Do NOTuse auxiliaryequipment, such as a rollergenerator,which is drivenby one wheel of the vehicle,as this could cause failure of the gearbox differential.In some casesthe vehiclemay attempt to driveitself forward. Some local jurisdictionsrequireemission testing using a two wheel roller dynamometer.The Range Roveris equipped with permanent 4-wheel driveand cannot be safelyoperated on these machines.For more information regardingsafe emission testing of your vehicleconsultyour local Land Roverretailer.

Parking Afterbringingthe vehicleto a stop, ALWAYS applythe parkingbrakeand select ’P’ before releasingthe footbrakeand switchingoff the engine.

Switching off Afterselectinggearposition ’P’,returnthe starterswitchto position ’I’ and then to position ’0’ to removethe key.

NOTE: The starterkeycannot be removed unlessthe gearselectoris in ’P’ (park). BREAKING-IN Properbreaking-inwillhavea directbearing on the reliabilityand smooth runningof your vehiclethroughout itslife. In particular,the engine,gearbox,brakesand tyresneed timeto bed-inand adjustto the demandsof everydaymotoring.It is, therefore,essentialto drivewith consideration for the breaking-inprocessfor at leastthe first 500 miles(800 km)and observethe following advice: • LIMIT maximumroad speedto 70 mph (110 km/h).Initially,drivethe vehicleon a lightthrottleand only increaseengine speedsgraduallyonce the running-in distancehas been completed. • DONOToperateat fullthrottleor allowthe engineto labourin any gear. • AVOIDfastaccelerationand heavybraking exceptin emergencies. FUEL ECONOMY Fuelconsumptionis influencedby two major factors: • How your vehicleis maintained. • How you driveyour vehicle. To obtainoptimum fueleconomy,it is essentialthat your vehicleis maintainedin accordancewith the manufacturer’sservice schedule. Drivingwith the gearshiftin ’D’ in the HIGH range,but not in ’sport’ mode, willprovidethe best fueleconomy. Itemssuch as the conditionof the aircleaner element,tyrepressuresand wheelalignment, can havea significanteffecton fuel consumption.But aboveall,the wayin which you driveis most important.The following hintsmay help you to obtainevenbettervalue from your motoring: • Avoidunnecessary,short,start-stop journeys. • Avoidfaststartsby acceleratinggentlyand smoothlyfrom rest. • Do not drivein the lowergearsfor longer than necessary. • Decelerategentlyand avoidsudden and heavybraking. • Anticipateobstructionsand adjustyour speedaccordinglywellin advance. • When stationaryin traffic,selectneutralto improvefueleconomyand airconditioning performance.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER The exhaustsystemincorporatesa catalytic converter,whichconvertspoisonousexhaust emissionsfrom the engineinto environmentallylessharmfulgases,thereby reducingatmosphericpollution.

IMPORTANTINFORMATION The catalyticconvertercan be easily damagedthrough improperuse, particularlyif leadedfuelis used or if an enginemisfireoccurs.For thisreason,it is VERY IMPORTANTthat you heed the precautionswhichfollow: Misfire • A misfirecan causean engineto run rough or skipfor morethan justa few seconds.If a misfireis suspected,thereis a riskof catalystdamage;consulta Land

Roverretailerfor assistance. Fuel • UseONLYfuelrecommendedfor your vehicle.

Starting the engine • DONOTcontinueoperatingthe starter switchif the enginefailsto startaftera few attempts(unburntfuelmay be drawn into the exhaustsystem,thereby damagingthe catalyst);seekqualified assistance.

Driving • Providedthe enginehas reachedits normaloperatingtemperature,if a misfire is suspected,or if the vehiclelackspower whilstdriving,it may be drivenSLOWLY (atriskof damagingthe catalyst)to a

Land Roverretailerfor assistance. • NEVERallowa vehicleto run out of fuel (theresultantmisfirecould destroythe catalyst). • Enginesburningexcessiveoil(e.g. 1 quart (1 litre)every750 miles(1200 km))will progressivelyreducecatalystefficiency.In extremecases,blue smokemay be emittedfrom the exhaust. • On rough terrain,DONOTallowthe undersideof the vehicleto be subjectedto heavyimpactswhichcould damagethe catalyticconverter. • DONOToverloador excessivelyrevthe engine.

WARNING Exhaust systemtemperaturescan be extremelyhigh; DONOTpark on ground where combustiblematerialssuch as dry grassor leaves could come into contactwith the exhaust system(in verydry weather a fire could result). Switching off • DONOTswitchoff the enginewhilsta forwardor reversedrivegearis selected. Vehicle maintenance • Any enginemisfirewhichcausesthe ’ServiceEngine Soon’ warninglightto flash(see ’Warninglights’),lossof engine performanceor enginerun-on, could seriouslydamagethe catalyticconverter.

For thisreason,it is vitalthat unqualified personsdo not tamperwith the engine, and that regularsystematicmaintenanceis carriedout by a Land Roverretailer. • DONOTrun the enginewith a sparkplug or HT leadremoved,or use any devicethat requiresan insertinto a sparkplug.

USE ONLYUNLEADEDFUEL Octanerequirements Premiumunleadedgasolinewith a CLC or AKI octaneratingof 90 or 92 (95 or 96 RON) should be used wheneverpossible.However, loweroctanefuelscan be used but performanceand economymay be reduced.

NOTE: Federallawrequiresthat gasoline octaneratingsbe posted on the pumps. The Cost of LivingCouncil(CLC)octaneratingor Anti KnockIndex (AKI)octaneratingshown is an averageof ResearchOctaneNumber(RON) and Motor OctaneNumber(MON). Usingunleadedfuelwith an octanerating lowerthan that recommended,can cause persistentheavy ’engineknock’ (a metallic rappingsound). If severe,thiscan leadto enginedamage. If heavyengineknockis detectedwhen using recommendedoctaneratedfuel,or if steady engineknockingis presentwhilstmaintaining a steadyspeedon levelroads,contactyour retailerfor adviceas soon as possible.Failure to takemeasuresto eliminateeithercondition constitutesmisuseof the vehicle!

NOTE: An occasional,light,engineknock experiencedONLYfor shortperiodswhilst acceleratingor climbinghillsis acceptable. IMPORTANTINFORMATION DONOTuse leadedfuel!Your engineis designedto use unleadedfuelONLY. Unleadedfuelis essentialfor proper operationof the emissioncontrolsystem.

Even a verysmallquantityof leadedfuelwill damageyour vehicle’semissioncontrol systemand could invalidatethe emissions warranty.In addition,leadedfuelwilldamage the oxygensensorsin the fuelinjection systemand alsoseriouslydamagethe catalyst in the catalyticconverter. Reformulatedgasolinesand gasolinesthat containdetergents,anti-corrosionand stabilityadditivesarerecommended- they will help your vehiclemaintainthe correctlevelof emissionsand engineperformance. Fuelsystemcleaningagentsshould be avoided,as many of theseproductscan be harmfulto gasketsand othermaterialsused in fuelsystemcomponents. Driveability If you encounterdriveability,startingand stallingproblems,especiallyin high ambient temperaturesor at high altitudewhen the engineis cold, it may be causedby poor qualityfuel.Try an alternativebrand, and if the problempersists,seekadvicefrom your retailer.

Gasoline/oxygenatedfuel blends To avoidinvalidatingthe vehiclewarranty,use ONLYfuelsblendedwithinthe following limits: 1. Up to 15% of MethylTertiaryButylEther (MTBE)and unleadedfuelmix. 2. Up to 15% of EthylTertiaryButylEther (ETBE)and unleadedfuelmix. 3. Up to 10% of Ethanol(Ethylor grain alcohol)and unleadedfuelmix. Methanol/unleaded fuel blends In some areasit is possibleto buy unleaded fuelthat is blendedwith up to 5% Methanol (Methylor wood alcohol)and cosolventsand corrosionpreventatives.Usingtheseblends can causedriveabilityproblemsand damage to the fuelsystemcomponents.Theiruse may alsoinvalidatethe vehiclewarranty. WHEREVERPOSSIBLE, AVOIDUSINGFUEL CONTAININGMETHANOL! Octaneenhancers The use of octaneenhancersmay cause damageto the catalyticconverterand thereforeis not recommended,and may invalidatethe vehiclewarranty. WARNING Automotive fuels can cause seriousinjury, and even death if misused. Methanol/unleaded fuel blends,even in small amounts,can cause blindnessand possibledeath if swallowed.Additionally, take precautionsto avoid methanol from coming into contactwith the skin. Alwaysplace portable gasoline containers on the ground whilst filling. A fire may resultif gasoline is pumped into a portable containerthat is inside a vehicleor on a truckbed. You could be burned! FUEL FILLER FLAP The fuelfilleris locatedin the rearright-hand fender.Pressthe fuelfillerswitch(shownin illustration)to open the fillerflap. The fuelfillerswitchmay only be operated with the starterkeyturnedto position ’0’.It willnot operatewhen the engineis running.

NOTE: An arrowon the fuelgauge indicates whichsideof the vehiclethe fuelfillerflapis located.

GAS STATIONSAFETY Petroleumgasesarehighlyflammable and, in confinedspaces,arealso extremelyexplosive.Alwaystakesensible precautionswhen refuelling: • Switchoff the engine. • Do not smokeor use a nakedflame or light. • Takecarenot to spillfuel. • Do not overfillthe tank.

Fuel filler cap To avoidany sudden dischargeof fuelcaused by excessiveairpressure,the cap is designed to allowthe fueltank to vent duringthe first halfturn.

WARNING DONOTfully removethe cap until pressure has been released.

AUTOMATICTRANSMISSION The automatictransmissionfeaturesan ’H-gate’ gearselectormechanism.This combinesthe operatingmechanismof both the maingearboxand the transfergears,and enablesthe gearselectorpositions,for both the high and low gearranges,to be located sideby side.

Gearselectorlever Move the selectorleverforwardor backalong the driver’ssideof the ’H’,to selectthe high rangeof gears.Similarly,by movingthe lever to the passengerside,the low rangecan be selectedinstead.The ’H-gate’ illuminationis colourcoded to identifythe two ranges:high rangeilluminationis greenand low rangeis amber. A springloadedcatchbuiltinto the handleof the gearselectorlever,restrictsmovementof the lever,therebypreventinginadvertentgear selection.The catchhas two pressures: • the firstpressureenablesgearchangesto be made withina singlerangeof gears (HighrangeORLow range). • the secondpressureenablesthe selector to be moved from one rangeof gearsto another(ie.from HighTO Low).

NOTE: Gearselectionbetween ’D’ and ’3’ (Highrange)or ’4’ and ’3’ (Low range)may be made without pressingthe catch. HIGHRANGEGEARS Usethe high rangefor road drivingand also for off-roaddrivingacrossdry, levelterrain. The messagecentrewillmomentarilydisplay ’HIGH’,as soon as Highrangeis selected,and then displaythe gearselected(eg. ’3’). CAUTION DONOTattempt to change to LOWrange gears for normal road driving.Doing so will limit the vehicle’stop speed and may damage drivetraincomponents.

LOWRANGEGEARS ONLYuse low rangegearsin situationswhere low speedmanoeuvringis necessary,such as reversinga traileror negotiatinga boulder strewnriverbed; alsouse low rangefor more extremeoff-roadconditionswhereprogressin high rangecannot be maintained. When low rangeis selected,the message centredisplays ’LOW’ momentarily,and then ’L’ is displayedalong with the relevantgear selected(eg.’L2’). High/low range change warning An audiblewarningwillsound whilsta change from one gearrangeto anotheris attempted. The warningwillceaseonce the changeis completeor cancelled. Usingthe ’H-gate’ To makea changefrom high to low or vice versa, the vehiclemust be stationary! • Applythe brakesand select ’N’ . • Ensurethe vehicleis stationary,then fully depressthe catchbuiltinto the handleof the selectorleverand move the lever acrossthe cross-pieceof the ’H-gate’.On reachingthe requiredgearrangeposition, the ’H’-gateilluminationand the transfer gearboxwarninglight(inthe instrument pack)startto flashand the audible warningsounds. • Waituntililluminationof the new gear rangeselectorpositionsis constantand the transfergearboxwarninglight extinguishes(theaudiblewarningwill silenceand ’HIGH’ or ’LOW’ is displayedin the messagecentre),beforeselectingthe desiredgearin the new rangeand releasingthe brakes. • If the vehicleis movingwhen a transfer gearchangeis attempted,the message centrewilldisplay ’SLOWDOWN’ and the audiblewarningwillsound. • If the gearrangeis changedand forward or reversedriveengagedwithout first waitingin ’N’ for the illuminationto stop flashingand the audiblewarningto stop, the messagecentrewilldisplay ’SELECT

NEUTRAL’ and a warningwillsound reselect ’N’ and waitfor rangechange completionbeforeselectingthe required drivinggear.

CAUTION To avoid personalinjuryand possible damage to the transmission,it is essential to ensure that any change of gear range is fully completed before releasingthe brake and driving,i.e: • Illuminationof the gearrangeselector positionsis continuous. • The transfergearboxwarninglighthas extinguished. • The audiblewarningis silent. • The messagecentredisplaysthe appropriatemessage- ’HIGH’ or ’LOW’ .

Selectorleverpositions (high range)

’P’ Park In thispositionthe transmissionis lockedto preventthe vehiclefrom rollingaway.Select ONLYwith the vehiclestationary. ’R’ Reverse SelectONLYwhen the vehicleis stationary. ’N’ Neutral Usethispositionwhen the vehicleis stationaryand the engineis to idlefor a short period(eg. at trafficlights). ’D’ Drive In high range,select ’D’ for allnormaldriving on good road surfaces;fullyautomaticgear changingoccurson allforwardgears accordingto vehiclespeedand accelerator position. ’3’ (1st,2nd and 3rd gears) Automaticgearchangingis limitedto first, secondand thirdgearsonly. In high range, use in congestedtrafficconditionsand for town driving. ’2’ (1stand 2nd gears) Automaticgearchangingis limitedto firstand secondratiosonly. In high range,use when drivingup steepgradientsand for negotiating verynarrowtwistingroads.This positionalso providesmoderateenginebrakingfor descendingslopes. ’1’ (1stgear only) Useon veryseveregradients,particularly when towing, and when maximumengine brakingis required. NOTE: If position ’2’ or ’1’ is selectedfrom ’D’ or ’3’ whilstthe vehicleis travellingat high speedin high range,then, dependingon vehiclespeed,thirdgearwillimmediately engage.Progressivedecelerationwillthen causedownshiftsinto secondand then first gearwhen appropriatelylow road speedsare reached.

WARNING When parked alwaysleave the vehiclewith the gear selectorin ’P’ (Park),and the parkingbrake applied, even when the starterkey is not removed.Failure to do so may resultin unintentional movement of the vehicle.

NOTE: The starterkeycannot be removed unlessthe gearselectoris in ’P’ (park).

Starting and driving Driversunfamiliarwith the performance characteristicsof automaticgearboxesshould thoroughlyfamiliarisethemselveswith the followinginstructionsbeforedriving. • Beforestartingthe engine,ensurethat both foot brakeand parkingbrakeare applied. • Afterstartingthe engine,KEEP THE

BRAKES APPLIED whilstmovingthe selectorleverto the requireddrive position. • Keepthe brakesapplieduntilyou are readyto move - remember,once a drive positionis selected,an ’automatic’ will tend to creepforward(or backward). • Never ’rev’ the enginewhilstselectinga forwardor reversedrivegear,or whilstthe vehicleis stationarywith a drivegear selected- remember,an ’automatic’ will move immediatelyonce the accelerator pedalis pressed. Gearchanging in high range The road speedsat whichgearchangestake placevaryaccordingto the positionof the accelerator;minimumaccelerationwillresult in gearchangesat low road speeds,whilst greaterthrottleopeningswillcausethe gearboxto delaygearchangesuntilfaster road speedshavebeen reached(thereby increasingacceleration). Withpractice,gearchangescan be made to occurat a widerangeof differentroad speeds, dependingon acceleratorpedalpressure. On long inclines,an automaticgearboxwill sometimeschangebackand forth between gears.This occursbecausethe transmission does not includea ratiothat is preciselyright for the particularinclineand vehicleloading circumstances.Excessivegearchangingis wastefulof fueland resultsin a lossof momentum; it can be preventedby selecting the ’3’ or ’2’ positionswhichlimitthe gearbox to lowerratios.

’Kick-down’ To providerapidaccelerationfor overtaking, ’kick’ the acceleratorpedalto the fullextentof itstravelin a single,quickmovement(thisis known as ’kick-down’).Up to a certainspeed, thiswillcausean immediatedownshiftinto the lowestappropriategear,followedby rapid acceleration.Oncethe pedalis relaxed,normal gearchangespeedswillresume(dependent on road speedand acceleratorpedalposition).

MODESWITCH In Highrange,the mode switchis used to select ’Sport’ mode. In Low range,pressingthe sameswitch selects ’Manual’ mode. Pressingthe switcha secondtimereturnsthe gearboxto itsnormaloperation. ’Sport’ mode When acceleratingin ’Sport’ mode, gear changingis delayedto makeoptimum use of the engine’spower.Selectwhen increased accelerationis required,or when negotiating long inclinesor twistingroads.However,you should be awarethat drivingin ’Sport’ mode willincreasefuelconsumption.

To select ’Sport’ mode, pressthe ’Mode’ switchonce whilstthe gearboxis in High range(themessagecentrewilldisplay ’S’ along with the selectedgear,eg.’S3’). ’Manual’ mode Pressthe mode switchwhilstthe gearboxis in Low rangeto select ’Manual’ mode; this enablesthe transmissionto functionas a manualgearbox,providingmaximumvehicle controland enginebraking- idealfor use in severeoff-roadconditions(themessage centredisplays ’LM’ along with the selected gear,eg.’LM3’).

NOTE: Changingfrom Highto Low range(or viceversa)willautomaticallycancel ’Sport’ or ’Manual’ mode. Towing for recovery If it is necessaryfor the vehicleto be towed on allfour wheels,transferneutralMUST be selected.(See ’Emergencytowing’).

FOOTBRAKE As a safetyprecaution,the hydraulicbraking systemoperatesthrough dual circuits.If one circuitfailsthe otherwillcontinueto function, but increasedbrakepedaltravel,greaterpedal effortand longerstoppingdistanceswillbe experienced.

BrakePads Brakepads requirea periodof bedding in. You should avoidheavybrakingexceptin emergenciesfor at leastthe first500 miles (800 km). Rememberthat regularservicingis vitalto ensurethat the brakepads areexaminedfor wearand changedperiodicallyto ensurelong termsafetyand optimum performance.

CAUTION DONOTrestyour foot on the brake pedal whilst travellingas this may overheatthe brakes,reduce their efficiencyand cause excessivewear. NEVERplace additional floor matting or any other obstructionunder the brake pedal. This restrictspedal traveland braking efficiency. NEVERmove a vehiclewithout the engine running because brakingassistancewill not be available.The brake pedal will still function,but more pressurewill be required. Brakewarning light

CAUTION If the warning light comes on when driving, and the parkingbrake is fully released,a fault is indicated.Be prepared for increased brake pedal traveland then stop the vehicle and seek qualified assistancebefore continuing.

PARKINGBRAKE Unlikemost othervehicles,the parkingbrake on your RangeRoveroperateson the rear propellershaft,and NOTon the road wheels. This may resultin slightmovementof the vehicleafterthe brakeis applied. Applythe parkingbrakeby pullingbackthe lever.To release,pullthe leverbackslightly and keepthe releasebutton depressedwhilst allowingthe leverto fullyreturnto itsoff position.

CAUTION ALWAYS apply the parkingbrake fully wheneveryou park. DONOTapply the parkingbrake whilst the vehicleis in motion (exceptin an emergency)as this could resultin loss of vehiclecontroland damage to the transmission. Do not relyon the parkingbrake to operate effectivelyif the vehiclehas been subjected to immersionin mud and water.(see ’Off-roaddriving’ section).

Wet conditions

CAUTION Drivingthrough water or even veryheavy rain may adverselyaffect brakingefficiency. Alwaysdry the brakingsurfacesby intermittent light application of the brakes, firstensuringthat you are at a safe distance from other road users.

ANTI-LOCKBRAKING The purposeof anti-lockbraking(ABS)is to allowefficientbrakingwithout wheellocking, therebyallowingthe driverto retain steerabilityand controlof the vehicle.

CAUTION ABS cannot overcomethe physical limitations of stopping the vehiclein too shorta distance,corneringat too high a speed, or the danger of aquaplaning, i.e. where a layerof water preventsadequate contactbetween the tyresand the road surface. The fact that a vehicleis fitted with ABS must never tempt the driverinto taking risks that could affect his/hersafetyor that of other road users.In all cases,it remainsthe driver’sresponsibilityto drivewithin normal safetymargins,having due considerationfor the prevailingweather and traffic conditions. The drivershould alwaystake account of the surfaceto be travelledover and the fact that brake pedal reactionswill be different to those experiencedon a non-ABS vehicle. ABS incorporatesa monitoringsystemwhich checksthat allthe electricalcomponentsare in workingorderbeforeeachjourneyand also at frequentintervalswhilstthe vehicleis in use. The warninglightson the instrument panelarepartof thissystemand it is essential that the driverobservestheseand fully understandstheirfunctions- thesearefully describedin Section2 of the handbook under ’Warninglights’ .

CAUTION DONOTdriveuntil the red brake warning light has extinguished(with the parking brake released).If the light stayson or illuminates whilst driving,this indicates either a malfunction of the systemor low fluid level in the reservoir.Stop as soon as safetypermitsand seek qualified assistance before continuing.

ABS in action! Undernormaldrivingconditions(where sufficientroad surfacefrictionexiststo reliablybringthe vehicleto a haltwithout the wheelslocking),ABS willnot be brought into operation. However,should the brakingforceexceedthe availableadhesionbetweenthe tyresand the road surface,then ABS willautomatically come into operation;brakepedal ’feel’ will harden,and the sound of solenoidcycling may be heardas the ABS regulatesbraking pressureto ensurewheelrotation. Littlefurtherpedaltravelwillbe possibleat thispoint, but efforton the pedalcan be variedto influencebrakingwhilstthe ABS retainscontrol. Duringbraking,some vibrationmay be felt through the brakepedal.This is a normal resultof the systemregulatingbraking pressure.However,frequentvibration indicatesa hazardoussurfaceunder the road wheelsand is a warningto the driverto adjust speedto suitthe road surfaceand traffic conditions. When ABS stops operating,extrainitialpedal travelwillbe experiencedand the ’feel’ of the brakepedalwillrevertto itsnon-ABS condition.

WARNING Do not pump the brake pedal at any time, as this will interruptABS operation and may increasebrakingdistance. Ensure there are no obstructionsbeneath the brake pedal, which may preventfull travel,(e.g.additional floor mats). Driverswho become accustomedto driving a vehicleequipped with ABS, should exercisecaution when drivinga non-ABS vehicle.

Additional operating information • UnderABS control,heavybrakingon a dry road may producetyrenoiseand slight markingof the road surface.Neitherneed causeconcern. • Solenoidcyclingmay sometimesbe heard when drivingon veryrough roadsor whilst ’feathering’ (lightbraking)over irregularor pittedsurfaces.This is partof the normalABS function. • If excessivepedaltravelis experienced, fullbrakingwillstillbe available;push the pedalthrough the freemovementuntil resistanceis felt,then applythe necessary forceto obtainbraking.However,as soon as safetypermits,stop the vehicleand seekqualifiedassistancebefore continuing. • On soft surfacessuch as powderysnow, sand or gravel,and alsoon veryrough surfaces,brakingdistanceswith ABS may be greaterthan those achievablewith a non-ABS system.This is becausethe naturalactionof lockedwheelson soft surfacesis to buildup a wedgeof material in front of the wheelswhichassistsin stopping(however,ABS willcontinueto providebetterstabilityand steering control). • If the vehicleis brought to reston a steep slopewhichhas a verylow-friction surface,the vehiclemay slidewith the wheelslockedbecausethereis no wheel rotationto signalmovementto the ABS. If thisoccurs,momentarilyreleasethe brakes(to permitsome wheelrotation), beforere-applyingthem to allowABS to regaincontrol.Wherea slowdescentis necessary,engagea LOWrangegearwith the enginerunningto allowa controlled descent(see ’Off-roaddriving’ for further information).

WARNING ABS is designed to operate only with genuine Land Roverparts,and the tyresand wheels specifiedin ’Generaldata’. The manufacturerscannot accept any responsibilityfor inefficient operation of the system,caused by modificationsto the vehicle,or the fitting of non-approved components.Alwaysconsultyour Land Roverretailerfor advice.

ELECTRONICTRACTIONCONTROL The purposeof electronictractioncontrol,is to aid tractionwhen one wheelon an axle spinswhilstthe otherstillhas good grip,e.g, if one sideof the vehicleis on iceand the otheris on tarmac.The systemworksby applyingthe braketo a spinningwheelin orderto transfertorqueto the othersideof the axle.

NOTE: Tractioncontrolonly operatesbelow approximately60 mph (100 km/h). The instrumentpanelhas a tractioncontrol warninglight(TC)and, when appropriate, tractioncontrolmessageswillalsobe displayedin the messagecentre. The warninglightilluminates wheneverthe systemis active (fora minimumof 2 seconds) and is accompaniedby the messagecentre displaying ’TRACTION’.In the unlikelyevent that tractioncontrolis used continuouslyfor too long (inexcessof approximately1 minute),then the controlunit shuts down to allowcoolingand the warninglightflashesfor at leastten seconds;thisis accompaniedby the messagecentredisplaying ’TRACTION OVERHEAT’ .

SRS CRUISECONTROL Cruisecontrolenablesthe driverto maintaina constantroad speedwithout using the acceleratorpedal.This is particularlyuseful for freewaycruising,or for any journeywhere a constantspeedcan be maintainedfor a lengthyperiod. The cruisecontrolsystemhas threeswitches: a masterswitchon the fasciapaneland two controlswitches,marked ’SET+’ and ’RES’ (arrowedin illustration),mounted in the steeringwheel.

To operate 1. Pressthe masterswitch(theindicator lightin the switchilluminates). 2. Accelerateuntilthe desiredspeedis reached- thismust be abovethe system’s minimumoperationalspeedof 28 mph (45 km/h). 3. Pressthe ’SET+’ switchto set the vehicle speedin the cruisecontrolsystem’s memory.Cruisecontrolwillnow maintain that road speed,without the need for operationof the accelerator. Withcruisecontroloperating,speedcan be increasedtemporarily,e.g. for overtaking,by normaluse of the accelerator.When the acceleratoris released,road speedwillreturn to the selectedcruisingspeed.

To reduce the cruisingspeed Usethe brakepedalto slowthe vehicle,until the requiredspeedhas been reached,then pressthe ’SET+’ switchto establisha new cruisingspeed.Rememberthat cruisecontrol willnot operateat speedsbelow28 mph (45 km/h). Alternatively,brieflypressthe ’RES’ switch once to cut off cruisecontrol;if the brake pedalis not used, the vehiclewillslowdown gradually.When the desiredspeedhas been reached,pressthe ’SET+’ switchto establish the new cruisingspeed.

To increasethe set cruisingspeed Pressand hold the ’SET+’ switch;the vehicle willaccelerateautomatically.Releasethe switchas soon as the desiredspeedhas been reached. Alternatively,the set speedcan be increased incrementally,by ’tapping’ the ’SET+’ switch. For eachfivetaps, the speedwillincreaseby 5 mph (8 km/h). Disengagingcruisecontrol Cruisecontrolwillautomaticallydisengageif the brakepedalis pressed,or when the gear selectorleveris moved into ’N’ . Alternatively,brieflypressthe ’RES’ switch once to cut off cruisecontrol;thisallowsthe vehicleto slowdown gradually. If required,pressthe ’RES’ switchagainto re-engagecruisecontrolat the previously-set speed.

NOTE: The speedheld in the cruisecontrol memorywillbe cancelled,when eitherthe cruisecontrolmasterswitch,or the starter switch,areturnedoff.

NOTE: Cruisecontrolwilldisengage automatically,if your road speedfallsto less than 75 per cent of the set speed(thiscould occurwhen towing uphill).

Your vehicleis fittedwith an electronically controlledairsuspensionsystem(EAS)which providesfivedifferentrideheightsettings includingan ’Access’ mode. Thesesettings increaseor decreasethe heightand ground clearanceof your vehicleto cope with differentdrivingconditions. In addition,the EAS alsoprovidesautomatic suspensionlevelling. Before operating EAS Remember,evenif a changeof rideheightis selected,it willNOTtakeplace: • If the tailgateor any door is open. • Whilstthe foot brakeis continuously appliedfor lessthan 3 minutes. • If the engineis not running(exceptfor selectionof ’Access’ within40 secondsof switchingoff). If the ’Access’ mode is required,ensurethe parkingbrakeis appliedand that the gear selectorleveris moved to position ’P’ .

NOTE: Frequentchangesbetweenride heightscould causethe compressorto overheat.If thisoccurs,EAS willbe fully operationalagainaftera few minuteswhen the compressorhas cooled.

TOWINGWITHYOURVEHICLE The torquerangesof Land Roverengines allowmaximum-weightloadsto be pulled smoothlyfrom standstill,and reducegear changingon hillsor rough terrain.The suspensionis designedto cope with a heavy trailerload without upsettingthe balanceor feelof the vehicle. Maximumtowing weightsarelistedin ’Generaldata’ .

Trailerhitch RangeRoversareequippedwith a trailerhitch receiveras standardequipment.When selectinga drawbar,do not exceeda drop in heightof 1/2 inch (12 mm) or a risein height of 43/4 inches(120 mm) from the centreof the drawbarto the centreof the ball,nor exceeda hitchlengthof 101/2 inches(266 mm). An equalizingor otherform of weight distributinghitchshould NOTbe used with a RangeRover. IMPORTANTINFORMATION Ensurethat the grossvehicleweightand maximumrearaxleweightarenot exceeded. When preparingyour vehiclefor towing, alwayspay carefulattentionto the trailer manufacturer’srecommendationsand the followingguidelines.

• Set the electronicairsuspensionto ’INHIBIT’,selectSTANDARDrideheight and maintainthat settingwhilsttowing. • Ensurethat the vehicleand trailertyre pressuresareas recommendedby the trailermanufacturer. • Checkthe operationof trailerbrakesand lights. • For maximumstability,ensurethat loads areproperlypositionedand securedto eliminateshiftingduringtransit.Trailer loadsshould be positionedso that most of the weightis placedas low as possible and closeto/overthe traileraxle(s). • Afterloadingthe trailercheckthat the weighton the hitchpoint (thisis calledthe draw-barloadingweight,or tongue weight),is in accordancewith the manufacturer’srecommendations. • Trailersshould never be towed when the tongue/draw bar risesup on its own when disconnectedfrom the tow vehicle.

• When calculatingthe ladenweightof the trailer,rememberto includethe weightof the trailerPLUS the load. • Wherethe load can be dividedbetween trailerand tow vehicle,loadingmore weightinto the vehiclethan the trailerwill generallyimprovethe stabilityof the combination.

NOTE: It is the driver’sresponsibilityto ensurethat allregulationswith regardto towing, arecompliedwith accordingto the statein whichthe vehicleis being operated. Allrelevantinformationshould be obtained from an appropriatemotoringorganisation. TONGUEWEIGHT The recommendedmaximumtrailertongue weightis 550 lb (250 kg).

WARNING The tongue weight plus the combined weight of the vehicle’sload carryingarea and rear seat passengers,must NOTEXCEED the maximum rear axle load, or the gross vehicleweight (as shown in ’Generaldata’). Exceeding these weights could resultin engine, transmissionand structural damage, loss of controland personalinjury. VEHICLE WEIGHTS When loadinga vehicleto itsmaximum(gross vehicleweight),considerationmust be taken of the unladenvehicleweightand the distributionof the load, to ensurethat axle loadingsdo not exceedthe permitted maximumvalues. It is your responsibilityto limitthe vehicle load, in such a waythat neitherthe maximum axleloads,nor the grossvehicleweight,are exceeded(see ’Generaldata’ ). If veryheavytrailerloadsaretowed (particularlyat high altitudeor in hot climates),the ’GEARBOXOVERHEAT’ warning may appearin the messagecentre. This warningindicatesthat the gearboxoilis too hot, in whichcaseyou should reduceroad speed,manuallyselecta lowergear,or transferto the LOWrangeof gears.If the messagepersists,stop the vehicleand allow the gearboxto cool. If the messageresumes aftercooling,seekqualifiedassistancebefore continuing.

NOTE: When towing at altitudesabove1,000 feet(300 metres),engineperformancecan be adverselyaffectedcausingoverheating.

WARNING DONOTcarryunsecuredequipment, tools or luggage, which could move and cause personalinjuryin the event of an accidentor emergencymanoeuvre,either on or off road.

TRAILERSOCKET Incorporatedin the RangeRover’selectrical harnessis the facilityto fit a pairof multi-pin trailerlightingsockets. Pick-uppointsfor attachinga trailerlighting harnessarelocatedbehind the taillightaccess panels(seeillustration)- the trailertaillights, stop lightsand directionindicatorsarefed from a connectorlocatedbehind the right hand panel,whilstthe supplyfor a reversing lightand trailerauxiliaryequipmentis fed from a connectorbehind the lefthand panel. To fit a trailerlighting socket Beforefittingtrailerlightingequipment, ALWAYS disconnectthe vehiclebattery.

Detachboth of the circularblankingcovers from the bumperand feed the two partsof the maintowing harnessthrough the holes. Fitthe reinforcementplatesand towing socketsto the bumper(thetowing socket hingesmust be uppermost),and then clip both partsof the maintowing harness securelyto the rearof the bumperalong its fulllength(secureto the top of the bottom edge of the METAL bumperreinforcement). Frombeneaththe vehicle,removethe blankinggrommetsfrom the loadspacefloor (one on eachside- beloweachlightunit). Then, viathe taillightaccesspanels,connect a genuine,Land Roverapproved,linking harnessto both harnessconnectors(on each sideof the vehicle).Each linkingharness MUST be clippedsecurelyto an adjacentbody paneland then fed through the holesin the floor.Ensurethe holesareproperlysealed.

Connectboth sidesof the towing harnessto the linkingharnessconnectorsprotruding beneaththe loadspacefloor.Finally,reconnect the batteryand checkthe operationof the trailerlights.

CAUTION It is ESSENTIAL that neither the towing harness,nor the linking harnesses,drop down below the level of the bumper,or are able to make contactwith the exhaust system.Ensure that all harnessesare securelyclipped to the bumper,or appropriatebody panels,to preventthem from vibratingloose.

ROOFRACK A Land Roverapprovedroof rackis available as an accessory.Fittinginstructionsand loadingrecommendationsaredetailedin the literatureprovidedwith the roof rack;observe allrecommendations. The totalload must NOTexceedthat givenin ’Generaldata’,and must includethe weightof the roof rackwithinthe load. WARNING To avoid the riskof personalinjuryor death, DONOTpermit childrenor any other person to travelon the roof rack(or any access ladder)while the vehicleis in motion. IMPORTANTINFORMATION A loadedroof rackcan reducethe stability of the vehicle,particularlywhen cornering and encounteringcrosswinds. Allloadsshould be evenlydistributed, and securedwithinthe peripheryof the rack. Onlyfit roof racksthat havebeen designedfor your vehicle.If in doubt, consultyour retailer. Drivingoff-roadwith a loadedroof rackis not recommended.If it is necessaryto stow luggageon the roof rackwhilst drivingoff-road,allloadsMUST be removedbeforetraversingsideslopes.

Vehiclesfitted with Satellite Navigation CAUTION If the engine fails to startwhen using a donor batteryor starter/charger,wait for approximately2 minutes after the starter switchis turned off, BEFOREdisconnecting the donor batteryor starter/chargerirreparabledamage to the navigation computermay occur.

On vehiclesfittedwith SatelliteNavigation,the navigationcomputerremainson for approximately1 minuteafterthe starter switchis turnedoff. Duringthistime,the computercarriesout a memoryback-up procedure.It is ESSENTIAL that the donor batteryor starter/chargeris NOTdisconnected whilethisback-upprocedureis being carried out. Beforedisconnectingthe donor batteryor starter/charger,ensurethat the navigation computerhas switchedoff by waitingfor 2 minutesand checkingthat the ’PowerON’ LED on the navigationcomputer(locatedon the righthand sideof the luggage compartment)is NOTilluminated. If the donor batteryor starter/changeris disconnectedwhilethe navigationcomputeris carryingout the memoryback-upprocedure, the navigationscreenwillremainblankthe next timethe systemis turnedon, and the navigationcomputerwillneed to be replaced. All vehicles

CAUTION A vehiclewith automatic transmission cannot be restartedby pushing or towing.

The ONLYrecommendedmethodsof restartinga vehiclewith a dischargedbattery are: • The use of a substitutebatteryfittedto the disabledvehicle. • The use of boostercablesto connectthe batteryfrom a donor vehicleto the dischargedbattery.

USINGBOOSTERCABLES

WARNING Alwayswear appropriateeye protection when workingwith batteries.

Batteriesemit explosivehydrogen gas keep sparksand naked lights away from the engine compartment.

Make sure BOTHbatteriesare of the same voltage (12 volts),and that the booster cables have insulated clampsand are approved for use with 12 volt batteries.

DONOTconnect positive(+) terminalsto negative (-)terminals,and ensure booster cables are kept away from any moving parts in the engine compartment.

Take care when workingnear rotating parts of the engine.

Alwaysadopt the following procedurewhen using boostercables: 1. If a donor vehicleis to be used, both vehiclesshould be parkedwith their batterylocationsadjacentto eachother.

Ensurethat the two vehiclesdo not touch. 2. Applythe parkingbrakesand ensurethat the transmissionof both vehiclesis set in neutral(’P’ or Parkfor vehicleswith automatictransmission). 3. Turn off the starterswitchand ALL electricalequipmentof BOTHvehicles. 4. Connectthe REDboostercablebetween the positive(+) terminalof the donor batteryand the positive(+) terminalof the dischargedbattery. 5. Connectthe BLACK boostercablefrom the negative(-)terminalof the donor battery to the engineliftingring(shownin illustration)on the disabledvehicle. For safetyreasons,DONOTconnect this cable to the negative terminal of the dischargedbattery.If in doubt, seek qualified assistance. 6. Checkthat the boostercablesareclearof any movingpartsin eitherengine,then startthe engineof the donor vehicleand allowit to idlefor a few minutes. 7. Now startthe vehiclewith the discharged battery. 8. Onceboth enginesarerunningnormally, allowthem to idlefor two minutesbefore switchingoff the engineof the donor vehicleand disconnectingthe booster cables.DONOTswitchon any electrical circuitson the previouslydisabledvehicle, untilAFTERthe boostercableshavebeen removed. 9. Disconnectingthe boostercables,must be an EXACT reversalof the procedureused to connectthem, ie: firstremovingthe

BLACK cableclipfrom the liftingring.

Towing eyes The towing eyesat the front and rearof the vehiclearedesignedfor vehiclerecovery purposesonly and must NOTbe used to tow a traileror caravan. FRONT:UseONLYwhen the vehicleis to be towed with ALL four wheelson the ground (see ’Towingthe vehicleon four-wheels’). REAR:UseONLYwhen towing another vehicle.

LONGDISTANCETOWING Your vehiclecan be towed behind a motorhomeor otherrecreationalvehicle. Followthe procedurefor towing the vehicleon four wheels. TOWINGFORRECOVERY Most vehiclerecoveryspecialistswillload your vehicleonto a trailer.However,if it is necessaryto recoverthe vehicleby towing with allfour wheelson the ground, observe the followingprocedure: WARNING Ownersshould alwaysfollow the directions providedfor towing the vehiclewith all four wheels on the ground (flat towing) in every detail. Failure to do so could resultin unintended vehiclemovement or unanticipated vehicleconditions. Without the engine running,the brake servo and power steeringpump cannot provide assistance;greatereffort will thereforebe requiredto operate the brake pedal and turn the steeringwheel. Longer stopping distanceswill also be experienced.

CAUTION Your vehiclehas permanent four-wheel driveand is fitted with a steeringlock.The following instructionsmust be carriedout carefullyto preventdamage to the vehicle. Leaving the ignition key in the vehiclefor extended periods,particularlyif position II is selected,will put a draw on the battery which can lead to voltage drop and ultimately a dead battery.

Towing the vehicleon four wheels (flat towing) WARNING Before attempting to selecttransferneutral, alwaysensure that the parkingbrake is properlyand securelyset.

Placinga vehiclein ’transferneutral’ permits flattowing. To selecttransferneutralperform the followingsteps: • Set the parkingbrakesecurely. • Insertthe ignitionkeyand turn to position

II (IgnitionON). • Depressthe footbrakeand positionthe gearselectorleverto ’N’ (Neutral). • Turn the keyto position0. • Inserta fuse (5 amps or greater)into fuse position11 of the righthand seatfuse box. • Turn the keyto positionII. The transfer box willautomaticallyselectneutral.Wait untilthe messagecentredisplays ’TRANSFERNEUTRAL.’ • Turn the keyto positionI. • Waitfor 5 seconds. • Positionthe gearselectorleverto ’P’ (Park).

NOTE: The transfergearboxis now in neutral and the steeringwheelis unlocked.DONOT removethe ignitionkey.The vehicleMUST remainin thisconditionwhilstbeing towed on allfour wheels. • If required,keyposition ’II’ may be selectedto operatethe brakelightsand directionindicators. • Releasethe parkingbrakebeforetowing the vehicle. • Reapplythe parkingbrakewhen towing operationis complete. To engage the transfergearbox after towing, performthe following steps: • Set the parkingbrakefully. • Turn the keyto positionII (ON). • Depressthe footbrakeand positionthe gearselectorleverin ’N’ (Neutral). • Turn the keyto position0 (OFF). • Removethe fuse from position11 under the righthand seat. • Turn the keyto positionII. The transfer gearboxwillengage.The messagecentre display ’TRANSFERNEUTRAL’ will extinguish. • Positionthe gearselectorleverin ’P’ (Park). • Turn the keyto position0 (OFF).

CAUTION • DONOTattempt to tow the vehicle unless the starterswitchis turned to position ’I’ (to unlock the steering), except when position ’II’ is necessary. • DONOTattempt to removethe starter key,or turn the switchto position ’0’ , whilst the vehicleis in motion.

Towing the vehicleon two-wheels If it is necessaryto recoverthe vehicleby towing on two wheelsonly, alwaysadhereto the following: Removethe propellershaftfrom the axle whichis to remainon the road. The propellershaftflangeand shaftmust be markedbeforeremovalto ensurecorrect re-assembly.Securethe suspendedpropeller shaftsafelyto preventdamage.
