Introduction

This handbook covers all current versions of the Range Rover petrol and diesel models and, together
with the other books in your literature pack, provides all the information you need to derive maximum
pleasure from owning and driving your new vehicle.

For your convenience, the handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of
the vehicle. These are listed on the contents page and you will find it worthwhile to take a little time
to read each one, and get to know your Range Rover as soon as you possibly can. The more you
understand before you drive, the greater the satisfaction once you are seated behind the steering
wheel.

* An asterisk appearing within the text identifies features or items of equipment that are either
optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range.

IMPORTANT

The specification of each vehicle will vary according to territorial requirements and also from model
to model within the vehicle range. Some of the information published in this handbook, therefore,
may not apply to your particular vehicle.

Land Rover operates a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without
notice at any time. Whilst every effort is made to ensure complete accuracy of the information in this handbook, no liabilities for
inaccuracies or the consequences thereof can be accepted by the manufacturer or the dealer, except in respect of personal injury
caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.
