on the card it says while defending against a range attack improve your cover by 1.

As a note, the text on the cards is just reminder text, not the actual rules. Generally it is correct, but there could be situations where the actual rules text says something slightly different.

That said, page 15 of the RRG, step 5, Apply Dodge and Cover:

» A unit can apply cover only against ranged attacks.
