ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
While it may be difficult to deter the
’professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts
are carried out by unskilled 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 valuable belongings (or hide
them out of sight).
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 you can do to make your
vehicle a less inviting target.
BE SAFE - NOT SORRY!
• Park where your vehicle can be easily seen
by householders and passers-by.
• At night, park in well lit areas and avoid
deserted or dimly-lit side streets.
• At home, if you have a garage, use it - and
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 INFORMATION
Remember the breakdown
safety code
If a breakdown occurs while travelling:-
• Wherever possible, consistent with
safety and traffic conditions, the
vehicle should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably onto
the shoulder as far as possible. If a
breakdown occurs on a freeway, pull
well over to the inside of the hard
shoulder.
• Switch on hazard lights.
• If possible, position the warning
triangle (located on the underside of
the loadspace floor panel - see
’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
areas).
• Consider evacuating passengers to a
safe area away from the vehicle as a
precaution in case your Range Rover
is struck by another vehicle.
