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  
accessories, or the carrying out of 
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. 
Land Rover strongly advise against  
making any modifications to the  
suspension or steering system. This 
could seriously affe  ct the handling and  
stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control  
or roll-over.
