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
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.
