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. If it subsequently finds
that a safety related 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 and your
retailer and/or Land Rover North America.

AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE
To contact NHTSA, you may 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, DC20590.

HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS

WARNING

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance

ordinary passenger cars. This will result in
different handling characteristics.

IN AN EMERGENCY

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

While it may be difficult to deter the
‘professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts are
carried out by 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 belongings (or hide them

from view).

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 that you can do to make your
vehicle a less inviting target.
• Park your vehicle where it will be clearly

visible to householders and passers-by.

• At night park in well-lit areas, and avoid

deserted or dimly-lit side streets.

• 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

Remember the breakdown safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:
• Wherever possible, consistent with

road safety and traffic conditions, the
vehicle should be moved off the main
thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If
a breakdown occurs on a motorway,
pull well over to the inside of the hard
shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.
• If possible, position a 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
countries).

• Consider evacuating passengers

through nearside doors onto the verge
as a precaution in case your vehicle is
accidentally struck by other traffic.
