Starting the engine
Warming-up
Power assisted steering
In the interests of fuel economy, it is advisable
to drive the vehicle straight away,
remembering that harsh acceleration or
labouring the engine before the normal
operating temperature has been reached can
damage the engine.
The hydraulic power-assisted steering is
equipped with a positive ’centre feel’
characteristic, which gives enhanced vehicle
stabilityat high speeds and in cross winds.
Power assistance is progressivelyapplied the
more the steering wheel is turned. For
When the engine is cold, engine idle speeds
will be faster than normal. Under these
circumstances, use the foot brake to control
the vehicle until the engine is warm and
running at normal speed, and be aware of the
need to take additionalcare when
example: where manual steering effort would
normallybe greatest (at slow speeds on
maximum lock), power assistance is at its
greatest. Similarly, where only minimal
steering effort would normallybe required (at
high speed with the wheels straight ahead),
then power assistance is also minimal, thus
enabling the driver to benefit from apparently
consistent steering effort at all times.
manoeuvring the vehicle.
Vehicle height
The overallheight of your vehicle exceeds that
of an ordinarycar (even when ACCESS ride
height is selected). Always be aware of the
height of your vehicle and checkthe available
clearance before driving through low
entrances. This is particularlyimportant if the
vehicle is fitted with a roof rackor if the
sunroof is open.
NOTE: Power assistance is dependent on the
engine running. If the engine is not running,
greater effort will be required to steer the
vehicle.
Auxiliary equipment
WARNING
Do NOTuse auxiliary equipment, such as a
roller generator, which is driven by one
wheel of the vehicle, as this could cause
failure of the gearbox differential. In some
cases the vehicle may attempt to drive itself
forward.
Some local jurisdictions require emission
testing using a two wheel roller
dynamometer. The Range Rover is equipped
with permanent 4-wheel drive and cannot be
safely operated on these machines. For
more information regarding safe emission
testing of your vehicle consult your local
Land Rover retailer.
