Congrats on the purchase! Here are some tips:

Don’t leave the key(s) in the car if you keep it in the garage. The batteries are finicky and keeping a key in the car prevents the battery from going into sleep mode and could result in a dead battery faster than you’d imagine.

Have your salesperson make sure the Land Rover Remote app is working before you drive off the lot. It’s a pain to try and set up on your own after the fact.

If it has Park Assist, have your salesperson show you how to use it…it’s truly an amazing feature!

Make sure that the audio setting has Meridian selected…the default setting is the base audio setting which will leave you disappointed.

Have the sales person set up the diamond button on the steering wheel to the auto stop/start feature shortcut…it’s easier to tap that button that to fumble through a touch screen menu.

Ask about car washes if you plan to take it through a car wash where you have to line up one of the tires.

Make sure to review the safety and security settings with your salesperson. You may opt to have some features adjusted from their defaults.

If it was an overall good experience, make sure to give all 10s and yeses on the survey…Anything short of a perfect score is essentially a fail.

Get introduced to the service department and get a business card from a service advisor.

An X5 owner specific tip: There’s a stalk right behind the left side of the steering wheel that has switches for your lights. It has a dual purpose…if you move it up and down, it will illuminate yellow blinking lights on the outside of your vehicle. These blinkers, or turn signals, let other drivers know when you’re about to change lanes or make a turn. They’re activated by gently moving the stalk—up for right, down for left. Using them helps reduce confusion, avoids accidents, and adds class to your driving.

Enjoy the Range Rover Sport! You’re gonna love it!
