Child Restraints
Child RestraintsCHILD SAFETY SEATSSeat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for adults and larger children. For their safety, it is very important that all infants and young children are restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size (see table). Child safety seats approved for use in your vehicle are available from Land Rover dealers.
Only fit a child safety seat of a type approved for the specific seating positions in your vehicle (see table), and ensure the seat manufacturer’s fitting instructions are followed exacly.

Vehicles fitted with a passenger airbagFor optimum safety, children should travel in the rear of the vehicle at all times; front passenger seat travel is NOT recommended. However, if a passenger airbag is fitted and it is essential that a child travel in the front, set the seat fully rearward and seat the child in an approved, FORWARD FACING child seat. DO NOT use a rear facing child seat - an inflating airbag could impact with the seat and cause serious injury to the child!

The above symbol affixed to the passenger side fascia panel of your vehicle, warns against the use of a REAR FACING child seat in the front passenger seat, when a passenger airbag is fitted. This type of child seat could cause serious injury to a child in the event of an airbag deployment.

WARNINGDO NOT install a rearward facing child seat in a passenger seat equipped with an airbag system. Failure to follow this advice could result in serious injury, or even death for the child in the event of airbag deployment.

WARNINGIf the engine fails to start when using a donor battery or starter/charger, wait for approximately 2 minutes after the starter switch is turned off, BEFORE disconnecting the donor battery or starter/charger - irreparable damage to the navigation computer may occur.

On vehicles fitted with Satellite Navigation, the navigation computer remains on for approximately 1 minute after the starter switch is turned off. During this time, the computer carries out a memory back-up procedure. It is ESSENTIAL that the donor battery or starter/charger is NOT disconnected while this back-up procedure is being carried out.

Before disconnecting the donor battery or starter/charger, ensure that the navigation computer has switched off by waiting for 2 minutes and checking that the ‘Power ON’ LED on the navigation computer (located on the right hand side of the luggage compartment) is NOT illuminated.

If the donor battery or starter/changer is disconnected while the navigation computer is carrying out the memory back-up procedure, the navigation screen will remain blank the next time the system is turned on, and the navigation computer will need to be replaced.

Emergency Towing
Emergency TowingTOWING EYES
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and must NOT be used to tow a trailer or caravan.

FRONT: Use ONLY when the vehicle is to be towed with ALL four wheels on the ground (see ‘Towing the vehicle on four wheels’, page 12, for the correct procedure).

REAR: Use ONLY when towing another vehicle.

TOWING FOR RECOVERYMost vehicle recovery specialists will load your vehicle onto a trailer. However, if it is necessary to recover the vehicle by towing with all four wheels on the ground, observe the following procedure:

Towing the vehicle on four wheels

WARNINGALWAYS adhere to the following procedure when towing the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. Failure to do so could result in unintended vehicle movement or unanticipated vehicle conditions.

When preparing to tow the vehicle on four wheels, it is essential that neutral is selected on the transfer gearbox - before attempting to select transfer neutral, ensure that the handbrake is properly and securely applied.

1. Secure the towing attachment from the recovery vehicle to the front towing eye of the vehicle to be recovered.

2. With the handbrake applied, insert the starter key and turn it to position ‘II’.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Your vehicle has permanent four-wheel drive and is fitted with a steering lock. The following instructions must be carried out carefully to prevent damage to the vehicle.

Leaving the starter key in position ‘I’ or ‘II’ for extended periods may drain the vehicle battery, for further information on charging the battery or starting the engine on vehicles with a discharged battery, see the relevant sections of the handbook and also ‘STARTING AN ENGINE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY’, page 11 of this supplement.

Emergency Towing

3. Place the gear lever in neutral (‘N’ Neutral for automatic transmission).

4. Turn the starter switch to position ‘0’.5. Insert a fuse (5 amps or greater) into

position 11 of the Right Hand Seat Fuse Box (see the ‘Fuses’ section in the handbook.

6. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’. The transfer gearbox will automatically select transfer neutral - wait until the message centre displays ‘TRANSFER NEUTRAL’.

7. Turn the starter switch to position ‘I’.

NOTE: The transfer gearbox is now in neutral and the steering wheel is unlocked, The vehicle MUST remain in this condition whilst being towed on all four wheels.

8. If required, the starter switch may be turned to position ‘II’, to operate the brake lights and direction indicators.

9. Release the handbrake before towing the vehicle.

WARNINGDO NOT remove the key or turn the starter switch to position ‘0’ while the vehicle is in motion; the starter switch must be at position ‘I’ to unlock the steering.

Without the engine running, the brake servo and power steering pump cannot provide assistance; greater effort will therefore be required to operate the brake pedal and turn the steering wheel. Longer stopping distances will also be experienced.

After towing on four wheelsTo engage the transfer gearbox after towing, perform the following steps:1. Apply the handbrake and verify that

neutral (‘N’ for automatic transmission) is selected in the main gearbox.

2. Turn the starter switch to position ‘0’.3. Remove the fuse from position 11 of the

Right Hand Seat Fuse Box.4. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’. The

transfer gearbox will engage and ‘TRANSFER NEUTRAL’ will extinguish in the message centre display. On manual transmission vehicles, press the range change switch to select either HIGH or LOW range.

5. On automatic transmission vehicles, select ‘P’ (park) on the main gearbox.

6. Turn the starter switch to position ‘0’.

SERVICE PORTFOLIOThe Service Portfolio book included in yourliterature pack contains important vehicleidentification information and details of yourentitlement under the terms of the Land Roverwarranty, as well as useful consumer advice.

Most important of all, however, is the sectionon maintenance. This outlines the servicingrequirements for your Range Rover and alsoincorporates the service record slips, whichthe Dealer should sign and stamp to certifythat routine services have been carried out atthe recommended intervals.

WARNING

Safety warnings are included in thishandbook. These indicate either a procedurewhich must be followed precisely, orinformation that should be considered withgreat care in order to avoid the possibility ofpersonal injury or serious damage to thevehicle.

WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THEVEHICLE

Warning labels attached to yourvehicle bearing this symbolmean: DO NOT touch or adjust

components until you have read the relevantinstructions in the handbook.

Warning labels showing thissymbol indicate that the ignitionsystem utilises very high

voltages. DO NOT touch any ignitioncomponents while the starter switch isturned on!

WARNING

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearanceand, hence, a higher centre of gravity thanordinary passenger cars. This will result indifferent handling characteristics.Inexperienced drivers should take additionalcare, particularly in off-road drivingsituations and when performing abruptmanoeuvres on unstable surfaces.

Introduction

ENGINE COMPARTMENT INFORMATION LABELSVarious labels are fixed to your vehicle to draw your attention to specific safety information. Thefollowing are of particular importance:

A. AIR CONDITIONING

B. KEEP CLEAR OF ROTATING PARTS

C. VIN LABEL - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATIONNUMBER

D. BONNET OPENING AND CLOSINGINSTRUCTIONS

On vehicles with an airbag SRS, remember totake careful note of warning information labelsthat may be attached to the sun visor or otherparts of the vehicle.

Introduction

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATIONIf you need to communicate with a LandRover dealer, you may be asked to quote theVehicle Identification Number (VIN).

The VIN (and recommended maximum vehicleweights) is stamped on a label fixed to the toppanel above the left hand headlight (viewedfrom the driver’s seat). This should alsomatch the VIN recorded in the ServicePortfolio book.

In addition, as a deterrent to car thieves and toassist the police, the VIN is also stamped on aplate which is visible through the left side ofthe windscreen.

H3577

A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

B. Gross vehicle weight (where required)

C. Gross train weight (where required)

D. Maximum front axle load (where required)

E. Maximum rear axle load (where required)

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONSWhile it may be difficult to deter the’professional’ car thief, the majority of theftsare carried out by unskilled opportunists.Therefore, take vehicle security very seriouslyand ALWAYS adopt this simple ’four point’drill whenever you leave your vehicle - evenfor just a few minutes:

1. Fully close all the windows (and thesunroof).

2. Remove your valuable belongings (or hidethem out of sight).

3. Remove the starter key.

4. Superlock the vehicle using the remotehandset.

Thieves are attracted by ’vulnerable’ vehicles.Even if you have followed the ’four point’ drill,there is still much you can do to make yourvehicle a less inviting target.

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY!

• Park where your vehicle can be easily seenby householders and passers-by.

• At night, park in well lit areas and avoiddeserted or dimly-lit side streets.

• At home, if you have a garage, use it - andNEVER leave the keys in the vehicle.

• Do not keep important documents (orspare keys) in the vehicle - these are a realbonus for the thief.

Remember the breakdownsafety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:-

• Wherever possible, consistent withroad safety and traffic conditions,the vehicle should be moved off themain thoroughfare, preferably into alay-by. If a breakdown occurs on amotorway, pull well over to theinside of the hard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position a warningtriangle or a flashing amber light atan appropriate distance from thevehicle to warn other traffic of thebreakdown. (Note the legalrequirements of some countries).

• Consider evacuating passengersthrough nearside doors onto theverge as a precaution should yourRange Rover be struck by anothervehicle.

Security Card

10

The security card, supplied with the literaturepack, contains important emergencyinformation. It is ESSENTIAL that you keepthe card safe from theft and ensure that it ispassed to the new owner if you sell thevehicle.

• Key number: This is the number of thestarter/door key - essential if you everneed to obtain a replacement.

• Emergency key access code: You willneed this code in order to start the vehicleif the handset has been lost or damaged(see ’Emergency key access’ in the ’Locks& alarm’ section).

• Locking wheel nut number: If your vehiclehas locking wheel nuts, you will have beenprovided with a special wheel nut socketto remove them. You will need to quotethis number to obtain a replacementsocket.

• VIN (vehicle identification number): Thisidentity number is unique to your vehicleand is essential proof of its specification.The number can also be found in variouslocations around the vehicle (see ’VehicleIdentification’ in Section 1).

• Radio security code number: This uniquecode must be entered into the radiowhenever the power supply has beendisconnected. Without this code, the radiounit will not operate (see ’Security code’ inthe ’In-Car Entertainment’ book).

WARNING

Never leave the security card inside thevehicle when it is unattended.

Memorise the emergency key access code,or keep the card on your person whiledriving, in case of emergencies.

Locks & alarm

11

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticatedelectronic anti-theft alarm and engineimmobilisation system. In order to ensuremaximum security, you are advised to gain afull understanding of the system bythoroughly reading this section of thehandbook.

LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THEALARM

You have been supplied with twohandset/keys (numbered 1 and 2). While bothare identical in operation, they transmit twodifferent sets of information (see ’Lazy seats’).Replacement handsets are only available froma Land Rover dealer. Up to two furtherhandsets (3 and 4) can also be obtained.

There are four methods for securing yourvehicle:

1. ’Superlocking’ using the handset -(recommended high security method).

2. ’Superlocking’ using the key.

3. Locking using the handset.

4. Locking using the key.

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY, ALWAYS’SUPERLOCK’ THE VEHICLE USING THE

HANDSET(except when the vehicle is to be locked withpassengers or animals inside).


Emergency keysIn addition to the two handsets, you havealso been supplied with two separatekeys. These keys perform the samefunctions as the key part of the handsetand are intended for emergency use only.DO NOT keep the keys inside the vehicle.

The handsetThe radio remote handset has three buttons.By pressing the appropriate button, thehandset can be used either as a conventionalkey, or as a remote handset to either lock or’superlock’ the vehicle.

Locks & alarm

12

1. Press to release the key, which can thenbe used as a conventional key to operatethe starter switch, glovebox and doorlocks.

2. Lock button (padlock symbol)

• press once to lock.

• press twice to ’superlock’.

• press and hold to ’lazy lock’ (see ’Lazylocking’).

3. Unlock button

• press once to unlock.

• press and hold to operate the ’lazy seat’facility (see ’Lazy seats’).

Once the security system is armed, the centrallocking system locks all the doors and thetailgate, the perimetric alarm (protecting thedoors, bonnet and tailgate) is armed, and theengine is immobilised.

• If ’handset superlocking’ is activated, thevolumetric alarm is also armed (a sensorinside the passenger compartmentmonitors the interior space and activatesthe alarm if an intrusion into thepassenger compartment is detected).

The volumetric sensor will enter a self-checkmode each time you turn the starter switchoff. It will remain active for 60 seconds, oruntil:

1. The driver’s door is opened and closed.

2. The vehicle is locked with the handset orkey.

NOTE: If the sensor fails its self-check fivetimes consecutively, only the ’perimetric’elements of the security system will be active(doors, bonnet and tailgate). Any attempt to’superlock’ with the handset will result in’ALARM FAULT’ being displayed on themessage centre and a mislock occurring (see’Mislock’). Seek qualified assistance to rectifythe fault.

Switching off the alarm sounderIf the alarm is triggered, it can be turned off inthree ways:

• Press the lock button once.

• Press the unlock button once.

• Turn the key in the driver’s door to the’unlock’ position (towards the front of thevehicle).

Locks & alarm

13

Anti-theft alarm indicator lightAfter locking the vehicle, the RED indicatorlight (arrowed in illustration) flashes rapidlyfor ten seconds to confirm that the securitysystem has been successfully armed. After tenseconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slowerfrequency, and then continues to flash as ananti-theft deterrent until such time as thesecurity system is disarmed.

If, while operating the handset (or key), thealarm sounds, this indicates that one of thedoors, the bonnet or the tailgate is notproperly closed (the message centre displaywill confirm which aperture is not secure).

Although the handset can be successfullyoperated from a significant distance from thevehicle, when locking it is wise to be closeenough to visually confirm that the doorlocking buttons have dropped into place andthat the indicator light confirms a successfullock.

NOTE: Occasional atmospheric conditionscan significantly reduce the effective range ofhandset operation. If this occurs, operate thehandset closer to the vehicle. In extremecases, it may be necessary to touch thehandset against the radio aerial ’fired’ ontoone of the rear side windows.

SUPERLOCKINGIf the vehicle is ’superlocked’ (with either thehandset, or the key), the doors CANNOT beunlocked or opened from inside the vehicle.

For this reason DO NOT superlock the vehiclewith passengers inside.

’Superlocking’ using the handset:Press and release the ’lock’ button (1) on thehandset twice (within 11/2 seconds). After 15seconds you will hear ’superlocking’ engage.

If any door, the bonnet or tailgate is left open,a mislock will occur (see ’Mislock’).

If a window or sunroof is open, superlockingwill engage immediately, however volumetricprotection will not be activated.

To unlock:Press and release the ’unlock’ button (2) onthe handset once.

If the handset is inoperative, the vehicle canbe unlocked by using the emergency keyaccess code (see ’Emergency key access’).

Locks & alarm

14

’Superlocking’ using the key:Wherever possible the handset MUST be usedto ’superlock’ the vehicle. However, if thehandset is inoperative, the key can be used asfollows:

Turn the key in the driver’s door towards therear of the vehicle (and release) twice within11/2 seconds.

NOTE: ’Superlocking’ the vehicle using thekey will provide perimetric protection only -volumetric protection (protection of theinterior space inside the vehicle) WILL NOTBE ACTIVE! If any door, the bonnet, or thetailgate is left open, a mislock will occur (see’Mislock’).

To unlock:Wherever possible use the handset to unlockthe vehicle - press and release the ’unlock’button.

If necessary, the key can be used to unlock a’superlocked’ vehicle, but before the enginecan be started, it will be necessary to releasethe engine immobilisation function by enteringthe emergency key access code (see’Emergency key access’).


If unattended passengers are to be left inthe vehicle, DO NOT superlock.Unattended passengers should lock thevehicle from inside by pressing down thedriver’s door sill button.

If animals are to be left in the vehicle,volumetric protection MUST NOT beactivated - any movement inside thevehicle could trigger the alarm.

DO NOT leave children unattended in thevehicle!

WARNING

NEVER ’superlock’ the vehicle if passengersare to be left inside - ’superlocking’prevents door locks from being operatedfrom INSIDE as well as outside the vehicle!

NOTE: If the handset ’lock’ button or the doorkey are operated once, the central locking willbe activated, but the alarm will only be in’perimetric’ mode and the doors and locksCAN be opened from the inside. ALWAYS,where possible secure the vehicle by’superlocking’.

’Sill’ lockingTo operate the central locking from inside thevehicle, push down either front door sillbutton.The security system will NOT be armed.

NOTE: ’Sill’ locking (also known as slamlocking) is NOT possible from outside thevehicle.

ENGINE IMMOBILISATIONEngine immobilisation is an important aspectof the Range Rover’s security system, andincludes a feature known as ’passiveimmobilisation’. This is designed to safeguardthe vehicle from theft should the driver forgetto lock the doors. The engine is automaticallyimmobilised whenever any of the followingconditions occur.

1. When the vehicle is locked using thehandset or key.

2. Thirty seconds after the starter switch hasbeen turned off AND the driver’s dooropened.

3. Ten minutes after the starter switch hasbeen turned off (even if the key remains inthe starter switch and the driver’s doorhas not opened).


It is virtually impossible to leave the carunattended or attended without theengine being immobilised automatically.For this reason it is important that alldrivers are fully aware of the following:

The engine is re-mobilised by pressingthe ’unlock’ button on the handset orinserting the key in the starter switch.

If the handset is lost or damaged and failsto operate, the engine must bere-mobilised by entering the emergencykey access code before the vehicle can bedriven (see ’Emergency key access’).

Locks & alarm

16

EMERGENCY KEY ACCESSIf the handset is lost or fails to operate, theengine can be re-mobilised by using the key toenter a unique four digit emergency keyaccess code. The code is recorded on theSecurity Information card and is entered asfollows:

1. Using the key, turn thedriver’s door lock to the LOCKposition 4 times and returnthe key to the centre position(as shown)after each turn of

the key. It is now possible to use the key toenter the separate numerical values of the fourdigits that make up the emergency key accesscode.


When entering a code:

• ENSURE each key movement iscarried out with care and precisionand turned through the full extent ofits travel.

• After turning the key to either thelock or unlock positions, make sureit is FULLY returned to the centre(vertical) position.

• If you forget your place in thesequence of key operations and,therefore, do not complete a code,open and then shut the door andstart entering the code again (thiswill not count as a failed attempt).

2. Enter the FIRST digit ofthe code. If the first digit is 4,turn the key (clockwise) to theUNLOCK position 4 times.Ensure the key is FULLY

returned to the centre position after each turnof the key.

3. Enter the SECOND digit ofthe code. If the second digit is3, turn the key to the LOCKposition 3 times. Remember;the key must be FULLY

returned to the centre position after each turnof the key.

4. Enter the THIRD digit ofthe code. If the third digit is2, turn the key to the UNLOCKposition twice, ensuring thatthe key is FULLY returned to

the centre position after each turn of the key.

5. Enter the FOURTH digit ofthe code. If the fourth digit is1, turn the key to the LOCKposition once. Ensure the keyis FULLY returned to the

centre position after the key has been turned.

6. FINALLY, turn the key tothe UNLOCK position oncemore to disarm the alarm andre-mobilise the engine. If thecode has been entered

successfully, the anti-theft alarm indicatorlight will extinguish, the doors will unlock andthe engine can be started.

MISLOCKA mislock will occur if:

• A door, bonnet or tailgate are left open.

• The key is left in the starter switch.

• An incomplete ’lazy lock’ is attempted. Themessage centre will indicate the cause of amislock e.g. ’SUNROOF BLOCKED’.

If a mislock occurs, a warning ’bleep’ willsound in which case you should unlock thevehicle, rectify the cause of the mislock andthen re-lock the vehicle.

LAZY LOCKING’Lazy locking’ enables you to use the handsetor key to close the windows and sunroof atthe same time as you secure the vehicle.

To operate lazy locking:

1. Ensure the doors, bonnet and tailgate areproperly closed.

2. With the handset - press and hold the’lock’ button (press twice and hold on thesecond press if ’superlocking’).With the key - turn and hold the key in the’lock’ position.

The doors and tailgate will lock and thewindows, followed by the sunroof will close.

NOTE: If a window or the sunroof detects anobstruction, a mislock occurs and the lockingsequence will stop. Remove the obstructionbefore trying to ’lazy lock’ again.

LAZY SEATSThe lazy seat facility is available only onvehicles fitted with a driver’s seat memory.The facility enables the handsets to be used torecall the pre-set electric seat/mirror positionswhen you UNLOCK the door. The twohandsets are separately identified by differentlabels and by grey and black battery covers -key 1 corresponds to driver’s seat memory 1,and key 2 to seat memory 2 (see ’Seats’).

NOTE: If additional handset/keys have beenobtained (key 3 and key 4), they are not linkedto the memory seat system.

Press and hold the ’unlock’ button on thehandset for 11/2 seconds (the indicator lighton the handset flashes rapidly), and thenrelease. The driver’s seat and both mirrors willmove to the positions programmed into therelevant seat memory.

NOTE: ’Lazy seats’ will only operate ifvolumetric protection was activated when thevehicle was locked (ie. by ’superlocking’ usingthe handset).It will not function if the alarm system hasalready been triggered since it was last set,and will be cancelled if a door is opened, or ifthe vehicle is relocked.

AUTO RELOCKAuto relock ensures that, if the vehicle isunlocked accidentally, the vehicle will relockitself automatically after a 60 second delay.

Once the ’unlock’ button on the handset hasbeen pressed, the alarm system will monitorthe vehicle for 60 seconds. If any of thefollowing occur during this period, the vehiclewill remain unlocked:

• A door or the tailgate is opened.

• Interior movement is detected.

• The key is inserted into the starter switch,or the switch is turned to position ’I’.

However, if none of the above has occurredwithin 60 seconds, then the vehicle willautomatically return to its previous ’locked’state.

CHILD-PROOF LOCKS (rear doors only)Move the lever downwards (arrowed inillustration) to engage.

With the child-proof locks engaged, the reardoors cannot be opened from inside thevehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a doorbeing opened accidentally while the vehicle ismoving.

Opening the doorsWhen opening a door from outside thevehicle, it is recommended that the movingpart of the handle is held by the fingers andthat the door catch is operated by pushingwith the thumb against the fixed part of thehandle.

REAR SEAT

WARNING

DO NOT adjust any part of a seat while thevehicle is in motion.

Ensure your fingers are clear of the seatlatches when folding the rear seats.

Folding the rear seatsOne or both parts of the split rear seat can beeither partially folded to provide a usefulhorizontal surface or fully folded to furtherincrease the rear loadspace.

Before folding either part of the rear seat,ensure that the outer rear seat belts arecorrectly stowed in their belt clips (seeillustration). To avoid damaging the centreseat belt, roll the buckle neatly and stow it inthe space provided at its anchor point in thecentre of the rear seat.

42

SEAT BELT SAFETY

Seat belts are life-saving equipment.In a collision, unrestrained passengers canbe thrown around inside the vehicle, orpossibly thrown out of the vehicle, resultingin injury to themselves and to otheroccupants. DO NOT take chances withsafety!

• DO make sure that ALL passengers aresecurely strapped in at all times; even forthe shortest journeys.

• ALWAYS adjust seat belts to eliminate anyslack in the webbing and to ensure thatthe diagonal belt passes across theshoulder without slipping off or pressingon the neck.

• ALWAYS fit the lap belt strap as low onthe hips as possible (never across theabdomen).

• DO NOT slacken the webbing by pullingthe belt away from the body - to be fullyeffective, the seat belt must remain in fullcontact with the body at all times.

• DO have seat belts checked if the vehicle isinvolved in an accident.

• DO NOT allow occupants to travel with theseat backs reclined steeply rearwards.Optimum benefit is obtained from the seatbelt with the seat back angle set to 15degrees from the upright (vertical)position.

• DO use the seat belts to secure large itemsof luggage that are to be carried on theseats - in the event of an accident,insecure items become flying missilescapable of causing serious injury.

• DO NOT fit more than one person into aseat belt, or fit a seat belt that is twisted orobstructed in any way that could impedeits smooth operation.

• DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularlysugary food or drink particles) to enter theseat belt locks; such substances canrender the seat belt locks inoperative.

• Pregnant women should ask a doctor foradvice about the safest way to wear seatbelts.

WARNING

Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly- an improperly worn seat belt increases therisk of death or serious injury in the event ofan accident.

The airbag supplementary restraint system(SRS) is designed to add to the overalleffectiveness of the seat belts, it DOES NOTreplace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYSBE WORN.

Seat belts

43

Upper anchorage adjustmentThe height of the seat belt upper anchoragecan be adjusted for comfort AND safety. Pressand hold the button (arrowed in the upperillustration) to raise or lower.

For maximum benefit, the seat belt shouldalways be worn with the webbing crossing theshoulder MIDWAY BETWEEN THE NECK ANDTHE EDGE OF THE SHOULDER.

Ensure that the anchorage has ’clicked’ intoone of the locked positions before driving.

Fastening inertia reel seat beltsDraw the belt over the shoulder and acrossthe chest, and insert the metal tongue plateinto the lock nearest the wearer; a ’click’indicates that the belt is securely locked.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bonystructure of the body (pelvis, chest andshoulders) and can only be worn safely withthe seats in the normal UPRIGHT position; DONOT allow the front passenger to travel withthe seat steeply reclined. (See also ’Seatingpositions’ in the ’Airbag SRS’ section of thishandbook).

Fastening lap beltsThe rear central seating position is fitted witha lap belt. To adjust, pull the slider (arrowed inillustration) along the belt and feed thewebbing through the buckle until the belt iscomfortably tight. Insert the metal tongueplate into the lock nearest to the centre of thevehicle.

Seat belts

44

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERSThe seat belt pre-tensioners activate inconjunction with the airbag SRS and provideadditional protection in the event of a severefrontal impact on the vehicle (see ’AirbagSRS’). The pre-tensioners automaticallyretract the seat belts fitted to the front seats.This reduces any slack in both the lap anddiagonal portions of the belts, therebyreducing forward movement of the belt wearerin the event of a severe frontal collision.

The airbag SRS warning light on theinstrument panel will alert you to anymalfunction of the seat belt pre-tensioners.

If the pre-tensioners have been activated, theseat belts will still function as restraints, andmust be worn in the event that the vehicleremains in a driveable condition.

NOTE: The seat belt pre-tensioners will NOTbe activated by rear, side or minor frontalimpacts.


The seat belt pre-tensioners will only beactivated once and then MUST BEREPLACED. Failure to replace thepre-tensioners will reduce theeffectiveness of the vehicle’s restraintsystems.

After any frontal impact, the seat beltsand pre-tensioners must be checked and,if necessary, replaced. Also, after a periodof 15 years, the pre-tensioners must beexamined and replaced.

In the interests of safety, it isrecommended that removal orreplacement of the front seats, seat beltsand pre-tensioners should only be carriedout by a Land Rover dealer.

Disposing of vehiclesIf you sell your vehicle, be sure to informthe new owner that the vehicle is fittedwith pre-tensioners, and make the newowner aware that the pre-tensioners mustbe examined and replaced by qualifiedpersonnel after a period of 15 years.

If your vehicle is to be scrapped,unactivated pre-tensioners are potentiallyvery dangerous and must be safelydeployed in a controlled environment byqualified personnel, before a vehicle isscrapped.

Seat belts

45

Infant and child restraintsChildren are more likely to receive injuriesfrom inflating airbags than taller occupants(see ’Airbag SRS’). For this reason, it isrecommended that children should always beseated in the rear of the vehicle in a childsafety seat or restraint system appropriate totheir age and size. A range of safety seatsapproved for use in your vehicle is availablefrom your Land Rover dealer.

All infant and child restraint systems aredesigned to be secured in vehicle seats bymeans of a lap belt or the lap portion of alap/shoulder belt.

When installing and using any infant or childrestraint system, always follow themanufacturer’s instructions. Failure toproperly secure the child restraint system canendanger the child in a collision or suddenstop and cause injury to other passengers.

The centre rear seating position is fitted with alap belt which can be manually tightened tosecure an infant or child restraint system.Older children should use the lap/shoulderbelt fitted to the outer rear seating positions.

The above symbol affixed to the fascia panelof your vehicle, warns against the use of aREAR FACING child seat in the frontpassenger seat. This type of child seat couldcause serious injury to your child in the eventof an airbag deployment.

WARNING

Infants and children should be restrained inthe rear of the vehicle in a child safety seator restraint system appropriate to their ageand/or size, and which is approved for usein your vehicle. Always ensure that themanufacturer’s fitting instructions arefollowed exactly.

Accident statistics show that children aresafer when properly restrained in the rearseating positions than in the front. However,if it is essential that a child travel in thefront, set the seat fully rearward and seatthe child in an approved, FORWARD FACINGchild seat. DO NOT use a rear facing childseat - an inflating airbag could impact withthe child seat and cause serious injury tothe child.

Seat belts

46

Caring for seat beltsRegularly inspect the belt webbing for signs offraying, cuts and wear, also paying particularattention to the condition of the fixing pointsand adjusters.

DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing. Clean thewebbing using warm water and non-detergentsoap only; allow to dry naturally and DO NOTretract the belts or use the vehicle until theyare completely dry.

Testing inertia reel seat belts

From time to time carry out the followingtests:

1. With the seat belt fastened, give thewebbing near the buckle a quick upwardpull. The buckle must remain securelylocked.

2. With the seat belt fastened, sit back in theseat and ensure any slack has beenrewound. Then move the upper bodysharply forward from the hips - themechanism must lock automatically andprevent any further unreeling of the belt.

3. With the seat belt unfastened, unreel thewebbing to the limit of its travel. Checkthat unreeling is free from snatches andsnags.

If a seat belt should fail any of these tests,contact your dealer immediately.

WARNING

Always replace a seat belt that haswithstood the strain of an impact or showssigns of fraying.

Airbag SRS

47

The airbag SRS (supplementary restraint system) incorporates front and side airbags for both thedriver and front seat passenger.

Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated with seat belts properly worn, the airbagsprovide additional protection to the chest and facial areas in the event of the vehicle receiving asevere frontal impact, and to the side of the body facing the impact, if a severe side collisionoccurs.

The front airbags are located in the centre pad of the steering wheel and in the fascia panel abovethe glovebox. Side airbags are positioned in the backrest padding on the outward side of bothfront seats (see illustration).

PO407

Airbag SRS

48

To ensure correct deployment of the airbags,it is essential that obstructions are not allowedto intervene between an airbag and theoccupant. The following are examples of thetype of obstructions that could either, impedecorrect operation of the airbags, or jeopardisepersonal safety in the event of an airbagdeployment:

• Accessories attached to an airbag cover.

• Items of hand luggage or other objectsplaced on an airbag cover.

• Feet, knees or any other part of theanatomy in contact with, or in closeproximity to, a front airbag cover.

• Head, arms or any part of the anatomy incontact with, or in close proximity to, aside airbag.

• Items of clothing or cushions draped overthe part of a front seat containing theairbag.

• Non-approved, seat covers fitted over afront seat (in particular, be aware that seatcovers approved for use with Range Rovervehicles prior to the introduction of sideairbags will NOT be suitable for vehiclesequipped with side airbags! If in doubt,seek advice from a Land Rover dealer).

How the airbag SRS worksIn the event of a collision, the airbag controlunit monitors the rate of deceleration inducedby the collision to determine whether theairbags should be deployed.

In the case of a severe frontal collision, bothfront airbags will be deployed. In the case of asevere side collision, only the airbag on theimpact side of the vehicle will inflate.However, there may also be impact conditionswhereby one side and both front airbagsdeploy at the same time, or where front andside airbags respond separately as a result ofa secondary impact occurring after the initialcollision has taken place.

P0405

Airbag SRS

49

P0406

Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous andoccurs with considerable force accompaniedby a loud noise. The inflated airbag, togetherwith the seat belt restraint system, limit theoccupant’s movement, thereby reducing therisk of injury to the head and upper torso.

When an airbag inflates, a fine powder isreleased. This is not an indication of amalfunction, however the powder may causeirritation to the skin and should be thoroughlyflushed from the eyes and any cuts orabrasions of the skin. After inflation, an airbagdeflates immediately. This provides a gradualcushioning effect for the occupant and alsoensures that the driver’s forward vision is notimpaired.


The airbag SRS is not designed tooperate as a result of rear collisions,minor frontal or minor side impacts, or ifthe vehicle overturns; nor will it operateas a result of heavy braking or drivingover bumps and potholes.

Operation of the airbag SRS is dependententirely on the acceleration ordeceleration forces that are applied to thevehicle’s passenger compartment as aresult of a collision. The circumstancesaffecting different collisions (vehiclespeed, angle of impact, type and size ofobject hit for example), vary considerablyand will affect the rate of acceleration ordeceleration accordingly.

It follows, therefore, that in someinstances, significant superficial damagecan occur to the vehicle without theairbags deploying and, conversely, that inother circumstances, the airbags willdeploy even though the vehicle hasexperienced relatively small amounts ofdamage.

Airbags will only deploy when they arerequired to supplement the restrainingforce of the seat belts.

WARNING

Following inflation, some airbag SRScomponents are hot - DO NOT touch untilthey have cooled.

Airbag SRS

50

Side airbagsSide airbags are designed to protect thethorax region of the torso and will only deployin the event of a severe side impact. They willNOT inflate as a result of frontal or rearimpacts.

In the event of a severe side collision, theairbag on the impact side of the vehicle breaksthrough the seat covering, rapidly inflating toform a cushion between the occupant and theside of the vehicle.

Note that a part of the outer side of the seattrim (identified by the woven ’airbag’ label) ismanufactured with a specially constructedseam which enables the airbag to breakthrough. The manufacture and materials of theseat are critical to the performance of theairbag. For this reason, non-approved seatcovers must NEVER be fitted, and it isrecommended that any repair or replacementto the front seats be carried out by a LandRover dealer (see ’Service information’).

Airbag SRS warning lightA warning light, mounted on the instrumentpack, will alert you to any malfunction whichmight prevent the airbag SRS from operatingcorrectly in the event of an impact. Thesystem should always be checked by a dealerif any of the following symptoms occur:

• The warning light fails to illuminate whenthe starter switch is turned to position ’II’.

• The warning light fails to extinguish withinapproximately five seconds after thestarter switch is turned to position ’II’.

• The warning light illuminates while thevehicle is being driven.

NOTE: After the starter switch is turned toposition ’II’, the system’s diagnostic controlunit checks its own memory and the warninglight bulb for faults. If a fault is found, thewarning light will illuminate.

Seating positionsIn order to provide optimum protection in theevent of a severe vehicle impact, it isnecessary for the airbags to deploy withconsiderable speed.

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasionsand other injuries if the occupant is too closeto the airbag at the time of its deployment.

WARNING

To minimise the risk of accidental injuryfrom inflating airbags, seat belts should becorrectly worn at all times. In addition, bothdriver and front seat passenger shouldadjust the seat to provide the maximumpractical distance from the front airbags,and also ensure that a gap is maintainedbetween the upper torso and the side of thevehicle to enable unobstructed inflation ofthe side airbags.

Airbag SRS

51

Seating children

It is recommended that children shouldalways be seated in the rear of the vehicle in achild safety seat or restraint systemappropriate to their age and size (see ’Seatbelts’).

If it is necessary for a child to travel in thefront, it is essential that the vehicle seat is setfully rearwards and that the child is correctlyseated in a FRONT FACING child safety seat,which prevents any part of the child’s head oranatomy from coming into close proximitywith the side airbag (note the warning labelshown below).

H2735

WARNING

Under no circumstances should a rear facingchild seat be used in the front - an inflatingairbag could impact with the seat causingserious injury to the child!

Service informationAfter a period of time (10 years for frontairbags, and 15 years for side airbags) fromthe original date of registration (or theinstallation date of a replacement airbagmodule), some components will need to bereplaced. Note the ’airbag module replacementdate’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfoliobook. To ensure absolute safety, it isrecommended that this work is carried out bya Land Rover dealer who should stamp andsign the appropriate page of the ServicePortfolio book once the work is complete.

In addition, ALWAYS contact your dealer if:

• an airbag inflates

• the front or side of the vehicle is damaged,even if the corresponding airbag has notinflated.

• any part of an airbag module cover showssigns of deterioration or damage.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to service repair, replace,modify or tamper with any part of the airbagSRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbagSRS component; this could cause thesystem to activate, resulting in personalinjury.

Airbag SRS

52


The components that make up the airbagSRS are sensitive to electrical or physicalinterference, either of which could easilydamage the system and cause inadvertentoperation or a malfunction of any airbagmodule.

For your safety it is recommended thatyou seek the assistance of a Land Roverdealer to carry out any of the following:

• Removal or repair of any wiring orcomponent in the vicinity of any ofthe SRS components (yellow wiringharness), including: the steeringwheel, steering column, front seats,instrument and fascia panels.

• Installation of electronic equipmentsuch as a mobile telephone,two-way radio or in-carentertainment system.

• Attachment of accessories to thefront or side of the vehicle.

• Modification to the front or side ofthe vehicle.

• Removal or replacement orretrimming of a front seat or seatcover.

Disposing of vehiclesIf you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform thenew owner that the vehicle has an airbag SRS,and make the new owner aware of the airbagmodule replacement date shown on page 2 ofthe Service Portfolio book.

If the vehicle is to be scrapped: uninflatedairbags are potentially very dangerous andmust be safely deployed in a controlledenvironment by qualified personnel BEFORE avehicle is scrapped.

Steering column

53

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to carry out the followingadjustments while the vehicle is in motion.This is extremely dangerous.

STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENTAdjust the angle and height of the steeringcolumn to suit your driving position:

1. Fully withdraw the lever and then pull ittowards the steering wheel rim.

2. Keeping the lever in this position, tilt thesteering column up or down to therequired angle and pull or push to extendor retract the steering wheel.

3. Release the lever to lock the column inposition when a comfortable drivingposition has been achieved

ELECTRICALLY-OPERATED DOOR MIRRORS

1. Slide the switch left or right to select theappropriate mirror.

2. With the starter switch turned to position’I’ or ’II’, press the appropriate side of therocker switch to tilt the mirror glassup/down or left/right.

NOTE: If your vehicle has anelectrically-operated driver’s seat, then thepositions of the mirrors can be set inconjunction with the driver’s seat positions(see ’Seats’).

NOTE: Door mirrors have integral heatingelements which disperse ice or mist from theglass. This function operates continuouslywhile the engine is running.

Automatic dimming (if fitted)The door mirrors are equipped with anautomatic dimming function that reducesglare from the headlights of following vehiclesat night. The dimming function is activated bya light sensor fitted to the interior rear-viewmirror.

Automatic dipping for reverse gear selection(if fitted)

Vehicles with a driver’s seat memory have apre-stored function which causes the mirrorsto dip automatically whenever reverse gear isselected. If necessary the mirror positions canbe altered as follows:

1. Turn the starter switch to position ’I’ or ’II’(do not start the engine).

2. Select reverse gear.

3. Adjust either or both mirrors to thedesired positions.

4. Press the seat MEMORY STORE switchtogether with either switch 1 or 2(whichever corresponds with the driver’sseat memory) for 2 seconds (the messagecentre displays ’MIRROR DIP STORE’).

The light should extinguish when thehandbrake is fully released or after the bulbcheck if the handbrake is off. If the lightilluminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated.Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits andseek qualified assistance before continuing.

NOTE: If the vehicle has been standing forsome time, it may take up to 40 secondsbefore the light extinguishes (in this case, ABSand TC warning lights will also beilluminated).

Battery charging - RED.Illuminates as a bulb check whenthe starter switch is turned to

position ’II’ and extinguishes when the engineis running. If it remains on or illuminateswhen driving, a fault is indicated. Seekqualified assistance urgently.

Trailer direction indicators -GREEN.This light is only operative when

a trailer is connected to the vehicle via amulti-pin socket. The light flashes inconjunction with the vehicle directionindicators, thus confirming that the trailerindicator lights are operating correctly. In theevent of the failure of a trailer directionindicator light, the warning light will notilluminate.

Low engine oil pressure - RED.Illuminates as a bulb check whenthe starter switch is turned to

position ’II’, and extinguishes when the engineis running. If it remains on when the engine isstarted, or comes on during a journey, stopthe vehicle as soon as safety permits and seekqualified assistance before continuing. Alwayscheck oil levels when this light illuminates.

NOTE: At very low ambient temperatures thelight may take several seconds to extinguish.

ABS - YELLOW.This light illuminates forapproximately 1 second when the

starter switch is turned to position ’II’, andthen briefly extinguishes before coming onagain. If the light does not extinguish and thenilluminate again then a fault has occurred withthe ABS system and you should consult yourLand Rover dealer at the earliest opportunity.The warning light will remain illuminated untilthe vehicle is driven above approximately 7km/h.

If the light remains illuminated orsubsequently illuminates whilst driving, a faulthas been detected by the self-monitoringsystem. The message centre will display ’ABSFAULT’; this means that full ABS control maynot be available, and you should consult yourdealer at the earliest opportunity.

V8i PETROL MODELS

WARNING

The catalytic converter (if fitted) is easilydamaged through improper use, particularlyif the wrong fuel is used, or if an enginemisfire occurs.

Before starting the engine and driving,ENSURE that you are familiar with theprecautions shown under ’Catalytic converter’later in this section.

In particular, you should be aware that if theengine fails to start, continued use of thestarter may result in unburnt fuel damagingthe catalytic converter.

Starting

1. Check that the handbrake is applied andthat the gear lever is in ’P’ or ’N’.

2. Switch off all unnecessary electricalequipment.

3. Insert the starter key and turn the switchto position ’II’ and then on to position ’III’to operate the starter motor; DO NOTpress the accelerator pedal during starting,and RELEASE THE KEY as soon as theengine is running.

In temperate climates DO NOT operate thestarter for longer than 5 seconds; if the enginefails to start, switch off and wait for 10seconds before re-using the starter. Pleasenote that continued use of the starter willdischarge the battery. In temperate climatesthe battery charging and oil pressure warninglights should extinguish as soon as the engineis running.

Cold climatesIn very cold climates the oil pressure warninglights may take several seconds to extinguish.Similarly, engine cranking times will alsoincrease; at -30° C the starter motor may needto be operated continuously for as long as 30seconds before the engine will start. For thisreason, ensure that all non-essential electricalequipment is switched off.

Block heatersOnly approved block heaters restricted to amaximum of 400 W should be used. Blockheaters that exceed this output may damagethe emission control components.

Warming-upIn the interests of fuel economy, it is advisableto start driving straight away, rememberingthat harsh acceleration or labouring the enginebefore the normal operating temperature hasbeen reached can damage the engine.

After starting, ensure that the handbrake orfootbrake are firmly applied and theaccelerator pedal is not pressed while movingthe gear selector lever from ’N’ or ’P’,otherwise the vehicle will move immediatelythe selector lever is moved to one of the drivepositions. This is particularly important whenthe engine is cold because the engine will beidling at a faster speed than normal.

92

In cold weather, or when the battery is in alow state of charge on manual gearboxvehicles, depress the clutch pedal whilestarting and hold it down until the engine isrunning.

In temperate climates DO NOT operate thestarter for longer than 5 seconds; if the enginefails to start, switch off and wait for 10seconds before re-using the starter. Pleasenote that prolonged use of the starter willdischarge the battery.

Cold climatesIn very cold climates the battery charging andoil pressure warning lights may take severalseconds to extinguish. Similarly, enginecranking times will also increase; at -30° C thestarter motor may need to be operatedcontinuously for as long as 30 seconds beforethe engine will start. For this reason ensurethat all non-essential electrical equipment isswitched off.

Warming-upIn the interests of fuel economy, it is advisableto start driving straight away, rememberingthat harsh acceleration or labouring the enginebefore the normal operating temperature hasbeen reached can damage the engine.

WARNING

The engine must not be run above fast idlespeed until the oil pressure warning lightextinguishes. This will ensure that theengine and turbocharger bearings areproperly lubricated before being run atnormal driving speeds.


Exhaust fumes contain poisonoussubstances which can causeunconsciousness and may even be fatal.

• DO NOT inhale exhaust gases.

• DO NOT start or leave the enginerunning in an enclosed, unventilatedarea.

• If you think that exhaust fumes areentering the vehicle, have the causeinvestigated and correctedimmediately.

Switching offTo avoid the possibility of damaging theturbo-charger bearings through inadequatelubrication, ALWAYS allow the engine to idlefor 10 seconds before switching off. Turn theengine off by returning the starter switch toposition ’I’ and then position ’0’ to removekey.

Starting & driving

93

RUNNING-IN (petrol & diesel models)Proper running-in will have a direct bearing onthe reliability and smooth running of yourvehicle throughout its life.

In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes andtyres need time to bed-in and adjust to thedemands of everyday motoring. It is,therefore, essential to drive with considerationfor the running-in process for at least the first800 km and observe the following advice:

• LIMIT maximum road speed to 110 km/h.Initially, drive the vehicle on a light throttleand only increase engine speeds graduallyonce the running-in distance has beencompleted.

• DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow theengine to labour in any gear.

• AVOID fast acceleration and heavy brakingexcept in emergencies.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMLand Rover vehicles are fitted with emissionand evaporative control equipment necessaryto meet a number of territorial requirements.

In many countries it is against the law forvehicle owners to modify or tamper withemission control equipment, or to sanctionthe unauthorised replacement or modificationof this equipment by a repair shop. In suchcases the vehicle owner and the repairer mayboth be liable for legal penalties. It isimportant to remember that all Land Roverdealers are properly equipped to performrepairs and to maintain the emission controlsystem on your vehicle.

FUEL ECONOMYFuel consumption is influenced by two majorfactors:

• How your vehicle is maintained.

• How you drive your vehicle.

To obtain optimum fuel economy, it isessential that your vehicle is maintained inaccordance with the manufacturer’s serviceschedule.

On automatic gearbox models, driving withthe gearshift in ’D’ in the HIGH range, but notin ’sport’ mode, will provide the best fueleconomy.

Items such as, the condition of the air cleanerelement, tyre pressures and wheel alignmentcan have a significant effect on fuelconsumption. But above all, the way in whichyou drive is the most important. The followinghints may help you to obtain even better valuefrom your motoring:

• Avoid unnecessary short, start-stopjourneys.

• Avoid fast starts. Instead, accelerate gentlyand smoothly from rest.

• Do not drive in the lower gears for longerthan necessary.

• Decelerate gently and avoid sudden andheavy braking.

• Anticipate obstructions and adjust yourspeed accordingly well in advance.

• When stationary in traffic, select neutral toimprove fuel economy and air conditioningperformance.

IMPORTANT DRIVING INFORMATION

Instruments & warning lightsBefore driving, it is important to fullyunderstand the function of the instrumentsand warning lights described in section 2.

NOTE: Red warning lights are of particularimportance, illumination indicates that a faultexists. If a red light illuminates always stopthe vehicle and seek qualified assistancebefore continuing.

Vehicle stabilityYour vehicle has a higher ground clearanceand, therefore, a higher centre of gravity thanordinary cars. This will result in differenthandling characteristics. Inexperienced driversshould take additional care, particularly inoff-road driving situations and whenperforming abrupt manoeuvres atinappropriate speeds or on unstable surfaces.

Vehicle heightThe overall height of your vehicle exceeds thatof an ordinary car (even when ACCESS rideheight is selected). Always be aware of theheight of your vehicle and check the availableheadroom before driving through lowentrances. This is particularly important if thevehicle is fitted with a roof rack or if thesunroof is open.

Power assisted steeringThe hydraulic power-assisted steering isequipped with a positive ’centre feel’characteristic, which gives enhanced vehiclestability at high speeds and in cross winds.

Power assistance is progressively applied themore the steering wheel is turned. Forexample: where manual steering effort wouldnormally be greatest (at slow speeds onmaximum lock), power assistance is at itsgreatest. Similarly, where only minimalsteering effort would normally be required (athigh speed with the wheels straight ahead),then power assistance is also minimal, thusenabling the driver to benefit from apparentlyconsistent steering effort at all times.

NOTE: Power assistance is dependent on theengine running. If the engine is not running,greater effort will be required to steer thevehicle.

Auxiliary equipment

WARNING

Do NOT use auxiliary equipment, such as aroller generator, which is driven by onewheel of the vehicle, as this could causefailure of the gearbox differential. In somecases the vehicle may attempt to drive itselfforward.

Catalytic converter

95

CATALYTIC CONVERTERThe exhaust system on most modelsincorporates a catalytic converter, whichconverts poisonous exhaust emissions fromthe engine into environmentally less harmfulgases, thereby reducing atmosphericpollution.

WARNING

The catalytic converter can be easilydamaged through improper use, particularlyif the wrong fuel is used. For this reason, itis VERY IMPORTANT that you heed theprecautions which follow:

Fuel

• Use ONLY fuel recommended for yourvehicle.

Starting the engine

• DO NOT continue operating the starterswitch if the engine fails to start after afew attempts (unburnt fuel may be drawninto the exhaust system, therebydamaging the catalyst); seek qualifiedassistance.

• When starting a cold engine, DO NOT driveif a misfire is suspected; seek qualifiedassistance.

Catalytic converter

96

Driving

• Provided the engine has reached itsnormal operating temperature, if a misfireis suspected, or if the vehicle lacks powerwhile driving, it may be driven SLOWLY(at risk of damaging the catalyst) to aLand Rover dealer for assistance.

• NEVER allow a vehicle to run out of fuel(the resultant misfire could destroy thecatalyst).

• Engines burning excessive oil (blue smokefrom the exhaust) will progressivelyreduce catalyst efficiency.

• On rough terrain, DO NOT allow theunderside of the vehicle to be subjected toheavy impacts which could damage thecatalytic converter.

• DO NOT overload or excessively rev theengine.

WARNING

Exhaust system temperatures can beextremely high; DO NOT park on groundwhere combustible materials such as drygrass or leaves could come into contact withthe exhaust system (in very dry weather afire could result).

Switching off

• DO NOT switch off the engine while aforward or reverse drive gear is selected.

Vehicle maintenance

• Any engine misfire, loss of engineperformance or engine run-on, couldseriously damage the catalytic converter.For this reason, it is vital that unqualifiedpersons do not tamper with the engine,and that regular systematic maintenance iscarried out by a Land Rover dealer.

• DO NOT run the engine with a spark plugor HT lead removed, or use any device thatrequires an insert into a spark plug.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

On petrol engine models fitted with acatalytic converter, serious damage to thecatalyst will occur if leaded fuel is used!

PETROL ENGINESEngines with a catalytic converter:High compression engines: 95 RONUNLEADED to EN228Low compression engines: 91 RONUNLEADED to EN228

Engines without a catalytic converter:Use 91 RON UNLEADED petrol whereverpossible.

In territories where only LEADED fuel isavailable, USE 95 RON LEADED.

The RON values quoted above are MINIMUMrequirements and can be safely exceeded.Using petrol with a lower octane rating,however, can cause persistent, heavy ’engineknock’ (a metallic rapping noise). If severe,this can lead to engine damage.

If heavy engine knock is detected when usingthe recommended octane rated fuel, or ifsteady engine knocking is present whilemaintaining a steady speed on level roads,contact your dealer for advice.

NOTE: An occasional, light, engine knockwhile accelerating or climbing hills isacceptable.

Petrol quality

The RON value (octane rating) and type ofpetroleum (unleaded or leaded), available atgarage forecourts will vary in different parts ofthe world. For example, in most Europeancountries 95 RON unleaded fuel is readilyavailable, but in some parts of the world fuelsupplies may be limited to leaded or loweroctane fuels only.

During manufacture, engines are tuned to suitthe fuel supplies commonly available in thecountry for which the vehicle is destined.However, if a vehicle is later exported to adifferent country, or is used to travel betweendifferent territories, the owner should beaware that the available fuel supplies may notbe compatible with the engine specification. Ifin doubt, seek advice from the territoryconcerned.

Diesel enginesThe quality of diesel fuel (Derv) can vary indifferent countries and only clean, goodquality fuel should be used. It is importantthat the sulphur content of diesel fuel doesnot exceed 0.3%. In Europe all suppliesshould be within this limit, but in other partsof the world you should check with yoursupplier. Ensure that the fuel filter element ischanged at the recommended serviceintervals.

WARNING

On both petrol and diesel engine vehicles, ifthe fuel tank is accidentally filled with thewrong fuel, it is ESSENTIAL that you contactyour Land Rover dealer BEFORE attemptingto start the engine.

FUEL FILLER FLAPThe fuel filler is located in the rear right-handwing. Press the fuel filler switch (shown inillustration) to open the filler flap.

The fuel filler switch may only be operatedwith the starter key turned to position ’0’; itwill not operate when the engine is running.

NOTE: An arrow on the fuel gauge indicateswhich side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap islocated.

Fuel filler capThe fuel filler cap is designed to allow the fueltank to vent during the first half turn. Whenremoving, carefully loosen the cap one halfturn until resistance is felt, then pause toenable fuel tank pressure to be released. Oncethe pressure is released (hissing hasstopped), it is safe to fully remove the cap.

When replacing, tighten the cap clockwiseuntil you hear the fuel cap ratchet at leastthree times.

WARNING

To avoid any sudden discharge of fuelcaused by excessive air pressure, the cap isdesigned to allow the fuel tank to ventduring the first half turn. DO NOT fullyremove the cap until pressure has beenreleased. The cap should be removed andplaced in the retaining bracket on the rear ofthe flap until refuelling is complete.

Fuel fillingFilling station pumps are equipped withautomatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuelspillage; only fill the tank until the filler nozzleautomatically cuts-off the supply. DO NOTattempt to fill the tank beyond this point orspillage could result due to expansion of thefuel.

On petrol engine vehicles which are designedto operate ONLY on unleaded fuel, the fueltank filler neck will ONLY accept a narrow fillernozzle of the type found on pumps that deliverunleaded fuel.

Fuel

99

On petrol engine vehicles which are designedto operate on leaded fuel, the fuel tank fillerneck will accept the wider filler nozzles foundon pumps that deliver LEADED fuel.

WARNING

DO NOT fully fill the tank if the vehicle is tobe parked on a slope in direct sunlight orhigh ambient temperature - expansion of thefuel could cause spillage.

EMPTY FUEL TANKDO NOT RUN THE FUEL TANK DRY!

In the case of vehicles fitted with a catalyticconverter, running the fuel tank dry couldcreate an engine misfire capable of damagingthe catalytic converter.

If you have run the fuel tank dry and haverefilled the tank, turn the starter switch toposition ’II’. After 4 seconds, switch off andthen return the switch to position ’II’ for afurther 4 seconds before operating the startermotor; do not press the accelerator pedalduring starting, and RELEASE THE KEY assoon as the engine is running.

In the case of diesel models, if the engine failsto start, qualified assistance will be required toprime the fuel system before the engine canbe restarted.

SAFETY ON THE FORECOURTPetroleum and diesel gases are highlyinflammable and, in confined spaces, arealso extremely explosive. Always takesensible precautions when refuelling:

• Switch off the engine.

• Do not smoke or use a naked flameor light.

• Do not overfill the tank.

Manual transmission

101

MANUAL TRANSMISSIONManual transmission vehicles are equippedwith a five speed main gearbox and atwo-speed transfer box. By using the maingearbox in combination with the transfergears, ten forward and two reverse gear ratiosare available.

Main gearboxThe gear positions for the main gearbox areshown on the gear lever knob. Note that whenthe main gearbox is in neutral, the gear leveris spring-loaded to automatically alignbetween third and fourth gear positions.

Transfer gearboxThe transfer gearbox is operated by pressingthe ’Hi/Lo’ switch (illustrated).

• Use the high range for all normal roaddriving and also for off-road driving acrossdry, level terrain.

• Use the low range gears in any situationwhere low speed manoeuvring isnecessary, such as reversing a trailer ornegotiating a boulder strewn river bed;also use low range for more extremeoff-road conditions where progress in highrange cannot be maintained.

Selecting ’High’ or ’Low’ rangeTo make the change between HIGH and LOW,the vehicle must be stationary.

1. With the vehicle stationary and the brakesapplied, depress the clutch and selectneutral.

2. Press the ’Hi/Lo’ switch - the ’Hi/Lo’switch indicator light and transfer gearboxwarning light (in the instrument panel)start flashing.

3. When the change is complete, both lightsextinguish. If high range has beenselected, the message centre displays’HIGH’ momentarily, then extinguishes. Iflow range has been selected, the messagecentre briefly displays ’LOW’, after which’L’ is displayed.

4. Now select the required gear.

WARNING

DO NOT rush the transfer gear change.DO NOT release the clutch or move the gearlever until the ’Hi/Lo’ indicator light and thetransfer gearbox warning light stop flashing.

Manual transmission

102


If the clutch is engaged before thetransfer between high and low gears iscomplete, a ’clunk’ or grinding sound willbe heard and the indicator light in theswitch will continue to flash. If thisoccurs, depress the clutch, select neutraland attempt the change again.

• If the vehicle is moving when atransfer gear change is attempted,the message centre will display’SLOW DOWN’.

• If the ’Hi/Lo’ switch is pressed whenthe gear lever is in any positionother than neutral, ’SELECTNEUTRAL’ will appear in the display.

ClutchDO NOT use the clutch pedal as a foot rest. Toprevent unnecessary wear, always keep theleft foot well clear of the clutch pedal exceptwhen changing gear.

NOTE: A foot rest is conveniently positionedto the left of the clutch.

Starting and drivingBefore starting the engine, ensure that thehandbrake is applied and the gear lever is inneutral.

WARNING

Manual transmission vehicles can be startedwith the clutch engaged and the vehicle ingear. This practise is NOT recommended -only start the vehicle with the gear lever inneutral.

Emergency towingIf it is necessary for the vehicle to be towed onall four wheels, transfer neutral MUST beselected. (See ’Emergency towing’).

Automatic transmission

103

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONVehicles with automatic transmission areequipped with an ’H-gate’ gear selectormechanism. This combines the operatingmechanism of both the main gearbox and thetransfer gears, and enables the gear selectorpositions for both the high and low gearranges to be located side by side.

Gear selector leverMove the selector lever forward or back alongthe driver’s side of the ’H’ to select the highrange of gears. Similarly, by moving the leverto the passenger side, the low range can beselected instead. The ’H-gate’ illumination iscolour coded to identify the two ranges: highrange illumination is green and low range isamber.

A spring loaded catch built into the handle ofthe gear selector lever restricts movement ofthe lever, thereby preventing inadvertent gearselection. The catch has two pressures:

• the first pressure enables gear changes tobe made within a single range of gears(High range OR Low range).

• the second pressure enables the selectorto be moved from one range of gears toanother (ie. from High TO Low).

NOTE: Gear selection between ’D’ and ’3’(High range) or ’4’ and ’3’ (Low range) may bemade without pressing the catch.

HIGH RANGE GEARSUse the high range for road driving and alsofor off-road driving across dry, level terrain.The message centre will momentarily display’HIGH’ as soon as High range is selected, andthen display the gear selected (eg. ’3’).

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to change to LOW rangegears for normal road driving.


104

LOW RANGE GEARSONLY use low range gears in a situationwhere low speed manoeuvring is necessary,such as reversing a trailer or negotiating aboulder strewn river bed; also use low rangefor more extreme off-road conditions whereprogress in high range cannot be maintained.

When low range is selected, the messagecentre displays ’LOW’ momentarily, and then’L’ is displayed along with the relevant gearselected (eg.’L2’).

High/low range change warningAn audible warning will sound whilst a changefrom one gear range to another is attempted.The warning will cease once the change iscomplete or cancelled.

Using the ’H-gate’To make a change from high to low or viceversa, the vehicle must be stationary.

1. Apply the brakes and, with the vehiclestationary, select ’N’.

2. Fully depress the catch built into the handleof the selector lever and move the lever acrossthe cross-piece of the ’H-gate’. On reachingthe required gear range, the ’H’-gateillumination and the transfer gearbox warninglight (in the instrument pack) start to flash,and the audible warning sounds.

3. Wait until illumination of the new gearrange selector positions is constant and thetransfer gearbox warning light extinguishes(the audible warning will silence and High orLow is displayed in the message centre),before selecting the desired gear in the newrange and releasing the brakes.

If the vehicle is moving when a transfer gearchange is attempted, the message centre willdisplay ’SLOW DOWN’ and the audiblewarning will sound.

If the gear range is changed and forward orreverse drive engaged without first waiting in’N’ for the illumination to stop flashing and theaudible warning to stop, the message centrewill display ’SELECT NEUTRAL’ and a warningwill sound - reselect ’N’ and wait for rangechange completion before selecting therequired driving gear.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury and possibledamage to the transmission, it is essentialto ensure that any change of gear range isfully completed before releasing the brakeand driving, i.e, wait until:

• Illumination of the gear range selectorpositions is continuous.

• The transfer gearbox warning light hasextinguished.

• The audible warning is silent.

• The message centre displays theappropriate message - ’HIGH’ or ’LOW’.


105

Selector lever positions(high range)

’P’ ParkIn this position the transmission is locked toprevent the vehicle from rolling away. SelectONLY with the vehicle stationary.

’R’ ReverseSelect ONLY when the vehicle is stationary.

’N’ NeutralUse this position when the vehicle isstationary and the engine is to idle for a shortperiod (eg. at traffic lights).

’D’ DriveIn high range, select ’D’ for all normal drivingon good road surfaces; fully automatic gearchanging occurs on all forward gearsaccording to vehicle speed and acceleratorposition.

’3’ (1st, 2nd and 3rd gears)Automatic gear changing is limited to first,second and third gears only. In high range,use in congested traffic conditions and fortown driving.

’2’ (1st and 2nd gears)Automatic gear changing is limited to first andsecond ratios only. In high range, use whendriving up steep gradients and for negotiatingvery narrow twisting roads. This position alsoprovides moderate engine braking fordescending slopes.

’1’ (1st gear only)Use on very severe gradients, particularlywhen towing, and when maximum enginebraking is required.

NOTE: If position ’2’ or ’1’ is selected from ’D’or ’3’ while the vehicle is travelling at highspeed in high range, then, depending onvehicle speed, third gear will immediatelyengage. Progressive deceleration will thencause downshifts into second and then firstgear when appropriately low road speeds arereached.

WARNING

Always leave the vehicle with the gearselector in ’P’ (Park) position when parked,even when the starter key is not removed.

Starting and drivingDrivers unfamiliar with the performancecharacteristics of automatic gearboxes shouldthoroughly familiarise themselves with thefollowing instructions before driving.

• Before starting the engine, ensure thatboth footbrake and handbrake are applied.

• After starting the engine, KEEP THEBRAKES APPLIED whilst moving theselector lever to the required driveposition.

• Keep the brakes applied until you areready to move - remember, once a driveposition is selected, an ’automatic’ willtend to creep forward (or backward).

• Never ’rev’ the engine while selecting aforward or reverse drive gear, or while thevehicle is stationary with a drive gearselected - remember, an ’automatic’ willmove immediately the accelerator pedal ispressed.


106

Gear changing in high rangeThe road speeds at which gear changes takeplace vary according to the position of theaccelerator; minimum acceleration will resultin gear changes at low road speeds, whilegreater throttle openings will cause thegearbox to delay gear changes until fasterroad speeds have been reached (therebyincreasing acceleration).

With practice, gear changes can be made tooccur at a wide range of different road speedsdepending on accelerator pedal pressure.

On long inclines, an automatic gearbox willsometimes change back and forth betweengears. This occurs because the transmissiondoes not include a ratio that is precisely rightfor the particular incline and vehicle loadingcircumstances. Excessive gear changing iswasteful of fuel and results in a loss ofmomentum; it can be prevented by selectingthe ’3’ or ’2’ positions which limit the gearboxto lower ratios.

’Kick-down’To provide rapid acceleration for overtaking,’kick’ the accelerator pedal to the full extent ofits travel in a single, quick movement (this isknown as ’kick-down’). Up to a certain speed,this will cause an immediate downshift intothe lowest appropriate gear, followed by rapidacceleration. Once the pedal is relaxed, normalgear change speeds will resume (dependenton road speed and accelerator pedal position).

MODE SWITCHIn High range, the mode switch is used toselect ’Sport’ mode.

In Low range, pressing the same switchselects ’Manual’ mode.

Pressing the switch a second time returns thegearbox to its normal operation.

’Sport’ modeWhen accelerating in ’Sport’ mode, gearchanging is delayed to make optimum use ofthe engine’s power. Select when increasedacceleration is required, or when negotiatinglong inclines or twisting roads. However, youshould be aware that driving in ’Sport’ modewill increase fuel consumption.

To select ’Sport’ mode, press the ’Mode’switch once whilst the gearbox is in Highrange (the message centre will display ’S’along with the selected gear, eg.’S3’).


107

’Manual’ modePress the mode switch whilst the gearbox is inLow range to select ’Manual’ mode; thisenables the transmission to function as amanual gearbox, providing maximum vehiclecontrol and engine braking - ideal for use insevere off-road conditions (the messagecentre displays ’LM’ along with the selectedgear, eg.’LM3’).

NOTE: Changing from High to Low range (orvice versa) will automatically cancel ’Sport’ or’Manual’ mode.

Towing for recoveryIf it is necessary for the vehicle to be towed onall four wheels, transfer neutral MUST beselected. (See ’Emergency towing’).

Braking systems

108

FOOT BRAKEAs a safety precaution, the hydraulic brakingsystem operates through dual circuits. If onecircuit fails the other will continue to function,but increased brake pedal travel, greater pedaleffort and longer stopping distances will beexperienced.

Brake padsBrake pads require a period of bedding in. Youshould avoid heavy braking except inemergencies for at least the first 800 km.

Remember that regular servicing is vital toensure that the brake pads are examined forwear and changed periodically to ensure longterm safety and optimum performance.

WARNING

DO NOT rest your foot on the brake pedalwhile travelling as this may overheat thebrakes, reduce their efficiency and causeexcessive wear.

NEVER move a vehicle without the enginerunning because braking assistance may notbe available. The pedal brakes will stillfunction, but more pressure will berequired.

ALWAYS take particular care when beingtowed with the engine turned off.

If the brake warning light should illuminatewhile the vehicle is in motion, bring thevehicle to a halt as quickly as trafficconditions and safety permit and seekqualified assistance before continuing DONOT pump the brake pedal. If the brakepedal is pumped the braking system maylose any remaining assistance available.

HANDBRAKEUnlike most other vehicles, the handbrakeoperates on the rear propeller shaft, and NOTon the road wheels. This may result in slightmovement of the vehicle after the handbrakeis applied.

Apply the handbrake by pulling back the lever.To release, pull the lever back slightly andhold the release button depressed whileallowing the lever to fully return to its offposition.

WARNING

DO NOT apply the handbrake while thevehicle is in motion (except in anemergency) as this could result in loss ofvehicle control and damage to thetransmission.

Do not rely on the handbrake to operateeffectively if the vehicle has been subjectedto immersion in mud and water. (see’Off-road driving’).

Braking systems

109

ANTI-LOCK BRAKINGThe purpose of anti-lock braking (ABS) is toallow efficient braking without wheel locking,thereby allowing the driver to retainsteerability and control of the vehicle.

WARNING

ABS cannot overcome the physicallimitations of stopping the vehicle in tooshort a distance, cornering at too high aspeed, or the danger of aquaplaning, i.e.where a layer of water prevents adequatecontact between the tyres and the roadsurface.

The fact that a vehicle is fitted with ABSmust never tempt the driver into taking risksthat could affect his/her safety or that ofother road users. In all cases, it remains thedriver’s responsibility to drive within normalsafety margins, having due consideration forthe prevailing weather and trafficconditions.

The driver should always take account of thesurface to be travelled over and the fact thatbrake pedal reactions will be different tothose experienced on a non-ABS vehicle.

ABS incorporates a monitoring system whichchecks that all the electrical components arein working order before each journey and alsoat frequent intervals while the vehicle is in use.The warning lights on the instrument panelare part of this system and it is essential thatthe driver observes these and fullyunderstands their functions - these are fullydescribed in Section 2 of the handbook under’Warning lights’.

WARNING

DO NOT drive until the red brake warninglight has extinguished (with the handbrakereleased). If the light stays on or illuminateswhilst driving, this indicates either amalfunction of the system or low fluid levelin the reservoir. In this case ABS control isnot available. Stop as soon as safetypermits and seek qualified assistancebefore continuing.

ABS in action!Under normal driving conditions (wheresufficient road surface friction exists toreliably bring the vehicle to a halt without thewheels locking), ABS will not be brought intooperation.

However, should the braking force exceed theavailable adhesion between the tyres and theroad surface, then ABS will automaticallycome into operation; brake pedal ’feel’ willharden, and the sound of solenoid cyclingmay be heard as the ABS regulates brakingpressure to ensure wheel rotation.

Little further pedal travel will be possible atthis point, but effort on the pedal can bevaried to influence braking while the ABSretains control.

During braking, some vibration may be feltthrough the brake pedal. This is a normalresult of the system regulating brakingpressure. However, frequent vibrationindicates a hazardous surface under the roadwheels and is a warning to the driver to adjustspeed to suit the road surface and trafficconditions.

Braking systems

110

When ABS stops operating, extra initial pedaltravel will be experienced and the ’feel’ of thebrake pedal will revert to its non-ABScondition.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal at any time asthis will interrupt ABS operation and mayincrease braking distance.

Ensure that there are no obstructionsbeneath the brake pedal which may preventfull travel, i.e. additional floor mats.

Brake pedal reactions will be different fromthose experienced on a non-ABS vehicle.

Additional operating information

• Under ABS control, heavy braking on a dryroad may produce tyre noise and slightmarking of the road surface. Neither needcause concern.

• Solenoid cycling may sometimes be heardwhen driving on very rough roads or while’feathering’ (light braking) over irregular orpitted surfaces. This is part of the normalABS function.

• If excessive pedal travel is experienced,full braking will still be available; push thepedal through the free movement untilresistance is felt, then apply the necessaryforce to obtain braking. However, as soonas safety permits stop the vehicle and seekqualified assistance before continuing.

• On soft surfaces such as powdery snow,sand or gravel, and also on very roughsurfaces, braking distances with ABS maybe greater than those achievable with anon-ABS system. This is because thenatural action of locked wheels on softsurfaces is to build up a wedge of materialin front of the wheels which assists instopping (however, ABS will continue toprovide better stability and steeringcontrol).

• If the vehicle is brought to rest on a steepslope which has a very low-frictionsurface, the vehicle may slide with thewheels locked because there is no wheelrotation to signal movement to the ABS. Ifthis occurs, momentarily release thebrakes (to permit some wheel rotation),before re-applying them to allow ABS toregain control. Where a slow descent isnecessary, engage a LOW range gear withthe engine running to allow a controlleddescent (see ’Off-road driving’ for furtherinformation).

WARNING

ABS is designed to operate only withgenuine Land Rover parts, and the tyres andwheels specified in ’General data’.

Land Rover cannot accept any responsibilityfor inefficient operation of the systemcaused by modifications to the vehicle or thefitting of non-approved components. Alwaysconsult your Land Rover dealer for advice.

Traction control

111

ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROLThe purpose of electronic traction control is toaid traction when one wheel on an axle spinswhilst the other still has good grip, e.g, if oneside of the vehicle is on ice and the other is ontarmac. The system works by applying thebrake to a spinning wheel in order to transfertorque to the other side of the axle.

NOTE: Traction control only operates belowapproximately 100 km/h.

The instrument panel has a traction controlwarning light (TC) and, when appropriate,traction control messages will also bedisplayed in the message centre.

The warning light illuminateswhenever the system is active(for a minimum of 2 seconds)

and is accompanied by the message centredisplaying ’TRACTION’. In the unlikely eventthat traction control is used continuously fortoo long (in excess of approximately 1minute), then the control unit shuts down toallow cooling and the warning light flashes forat least ten seconds; this is accompanied bythe message centre displaying ’TRACTIONOVERHEAT’.

If there is a fault with the system, then thewarning light will illuminate continuously andthe message centre displays ’TRACTIONFAILURE’. If this occurs, you should contact aLand Rover dealer at the earliest opportunity.

Cruise control

112


• DO NOT use cruise control onwinding or slippery road surfaces, orin traffic conditions where aconstant speed cannot easily bemaintained.

• ALWAYS switch off the masterswitch when you no longer intend touse cruise control.

• DO NOT rest your foot under theaccelerator pedal while cruisecontrol is engaged - your foot couldbe trapped.

NOTE: On automatic gearbox models,selecting Cruise control while the gearboxis in ’Sport’ mode will result in morefrequent and harsher acceleration andgear changing. This is not recommended.

CRUISE CONTROL (if fitted)Cruise control enables the driver to maintain aconstant road speed without using theaccelerator pedal. This is particularly usefulfor motorway cruising or for any journeywhere a constant speed can be maintained fora lengthy period.

The cruise control system has three switches:a master switch on the fascia panel and twocontrol switches marked ’SET+’ and ’RES’(arrowed in illustration) mounted in thesteering wheel.

To operate

1. Press the master switch (the indicatorlight in the switch illuminates).

2. Accelerate until the desired speed isreached - this must be above the system’sminimum operational speed of 45km/h forpetrol engine models, or 50 km/h fordiesel engine vehicles.

3. Press the ’SET+’ switch to set the vehiclespeed in the cruise control system’smemory. Cruise control will now maintainthat road speed without the need foroperation of the accelerator.

With cruise control operating, speed can beincreased temporarily, e.g. for overtaking, bynormal use of the accelerator. When theaccelerator is released, road speed will returnto the selected cruising speed.

Cruise control

113

To reduce the cruising speedUse the brake pedal to slow the vehicle untilthe required speed has been reached, thenpress the ’SET+’ switch to establish a newcruising speed (remember that cruise controlwill not operate at speeds below 45 km/h forpetrol engine models, or 50 km/h for dieselengine vehicles.

On petrol models only: press the ’RES’ switchonce momentarily to cut off cruise control; ifthe brake pedal is not used, the vehicle willslow down gradually. When the desired speedhas been reached, press the ’SET+’ switch toestablish the new cruising speed.

To increase the set cruising speedPress and hold the ’SET+’ switch; the vehiclewill accelerate automatically. Release theswitch as soon as the desired speed has beenreached.

Alternatively, the set speed can be increasedincrementally by ’tapping’ the ’SET+’ switch.For each five taps the speed will increase by 8km/h.

Disengaging cruise controlCruise control will automatically disengage ifthe brake (or clutch) pedals are pressed, orwhen the gear lever is moved into neutral(gear selector lever position ’N’ for automaticgearbox).

On petrol models only: press the ’RES’ switchonce momentarily to cut off cruise control;this allows the vehicle to slow down gradually.

If required, press the ’RES’ switch again tore-engage cruise control at the previously-setspeed.

NOTE: The speed held in the cruise controlmemory will be cancelled when either thecruise control master switch or the starterswitch are turned off.

NOTE: Cruise control will disengageautomatically if your road speed falls to lessthan 75 per cent of the set speed (this couldoccur when towing uphill).

Air suspension

114

H3097

1 2 3

Your vehicle is fitted with an electronicallycontrolled air suspension system (EAS) whichprovides five different ride height settingsincluding an ’Access’ mode. These settingsincrease or decrease the height and groundclearance of your vehicle to cope withdifferent driving conditions.

In addition, the EAS also provides automaticsuspension levelling.

Before operating EASRemember, even if a change of ride height isselected, it will NOT take place:

• If the tailgate or any door is open.

• Whilst the footbrake is continously appliedfor less than 3 minutes.

• If the engine is not running (except forselection of ’Access’ within 40 seconds ofswitching off).

If the ’Access’ mode is required, ensure thehandbrake is applied (select ’P’ for automatictransmission).

NOTE: Frequent changes between rideheights could cause the compressor tooverheat. If this occurs, EAS will be fullyoperational again after a few minutes whenthe compressor has cooled.

CONTROLS

Ride height selector (1)Press and release the upper or lower arrow onthe rocker switch to raise or lower the vehicleto the next ride height setting (the relevantindicator light will illuminate).

Ride height indicator panel (2)All indicator lights illuminate as a bulb checkwhen the starter switch is initially turned toposition ’II’ and remain illuminated until theengine is started.

Each specific indicator light illuminates whena height setting is in operation. When achange in height is activated, the indicatorlights illuminate in the following sequence:

• The new height indicator light flashes.

• When the new height is reached, itsindicator light stops flashing andilluminates continuously (the previousindicator light extinguishes).

’Inhibit’ switch (3)The indicator light in the switch illuminates asa bulb check when the starter is initially turnedto position ’II’.

• Press the switch to select ’Inhibit’ mode(indicator light illuminates). This willprevent automatic changes betweenStandard and Low ride height.

• Press again to switch off.

Air suspension

115


Even in ’Inhibit’ mode, the ride height canautomatically change from’Access’/’Crawl’ to the ’Low’ ride heightand from ’Extended’ or ’High’ profile to’High’ or ’Standard’.

If the suspension is in ’Inhibit’ mode and’Access’ ride height is selected when theengine is switched off, then when theengine is restarted, if the gear selector ismoved from ’P’ (’Park’ on automatictransmission) and the handbrake isreleased before the system bulb check iscomplete, the vehicle will rise from’Access’ to ’Standard’ instead of ’Low’ride height. For more information on thebulb check, see ’Air suspension warninglight’.

Air suspension warning lightThe warning light on theinstrument panel illuminates as a

bulb check when the starter switch is turnedon and remains illuminated until two secondsafter the engine has started.

In addition, the light will illuminate whilstdriving whenever ’High’ or ’Extended’ rideheights are selected, and also if a fault withthe air suspension system is detected.

HEIGHT SETTINGS

Standard ride heightSuitable for most drivingconditions and recommended for

towing (see ’Towing with EAS’).

High ride heightApproximately 40 mm above’Standard’. Improves approach

and departure angles (off-road) and is alsorecommended for wading.

Can be selected manually under 55 km/h. Ifthis speed is exceeded EAS automaticallyreturns to ’Standard’.

NOTE: The air suspension warning lightilluminates when this height is selected.

WARNING

High ride height must not be selected fordriving on the public highway.

Air suspension

116

Low ride heightApproximately 25 mm below’Standard’. Selected automatically

when speeds of over 80 km/h are sustainedfor over 30 seconds. This setting lowers thevehicle’s centre of gravity, thereby improvingthe handling characteristics of the vehicle. Thevehicle automatically returns to ’Standard’ ifspeeds below 55 km/h are sustained for over30 seconds. ’Low’ can be manually selected atany speed when Inhibit mode has beenselected.

Access/Crawl ride height

Access modeApproximately 65 mm below’Standard’, enabling easier access

or loading. ’Access’ can be selected with theengine running and for up to 40 seconds afterit has been switched off provided:

• The vehicle is stationary.

• The handbrake is applied (gearshift in ’P’for automatic transmission).

• All doors and the tailgate are closed.

• The footbrake is NOT applied.

’Access’ can also be preselected up to 40seconds before the vehicle stops. However,the suspension will not begin to lower untilthe vehicle is stationary with the handbrakeapplied, the gear selector in the ’P’ (park)position and the footbrake released.Preselection is automatically cancelled if the40 second period is exceeded.

NOTE: If a door/tailgate is opened or thefootbrake is applied while the vehicle ischanging height, the change will beinterrupted.

When moving off, vehicle height automaticallyreturns to ’Standard’ (’Low’ if ’Inhibit’ modewas operational BEFORE ’Access’ wasselected, see ’Inhibit’ switch).


If the suspension is in ’Inhibit’ mode and’Access’ ride height is selected when theengine is switched off, then when theengine is restarted, if the gear selector ismoved from ’P’ (’Park’ on automatictransmission) and the handbrake isreleased before the system bulb check iscomplete, the vehicle will rise from’Access’ to ’Standard’ instead of ’Low’ride height. For more information on thebulb check, see ’Air suspension warninglight’.

If ’Inhibit’ mode is selected AFTER ’Access’,’Crawl’ mode is selected (see ’Crawl’ mode).

WARNING

Always take care when UNLOADING yourvehicle in an area where height isrestricted.

With the starter switch turned off, thesuspension will automatically re-level thevehicle every time a door (or the tailgate) isopened and then closed (and every fewhours thereafter).

After unloading, the height of the vehiclewill therefore increase.

Air suspension

117

Crawl modeIf it is necessary to manoeuvre the vehicle inan area where height is restricted, ’Crawl’mode should be selected as follows:

• Select ’Access’.

• If the ’Inhibit’ mode is already active,release the ’Inhibit’ switch (indicator lightextinguishes).

• Press the ’Inhibit’ switch (indicator lightilluminates).

• The message centre emits an audiblewarning and ’EAS MANUAL’ is displayed.


While in ’Crawl’ mode: If the vehicleexceeds 10 mph (16 km/h), the messagecentre emits an audible warning anddisplays ’SLOW: 30 KMH MAX’.

If the vehicle exceeds 40 km/h, the rideheight automatically changes to ’Low’.

If the vehicle then slows to 32 km/h, theEAS automatically returns to ’Crawl’mode.

If road speed reduces to 8 km/h, themessage centre emits an audible warningand displays ’EAS MANUAL’.

If the engine is switched off in ’Crawl’mode, the vehicle will return to ’Access’mode when restarted. If ’Crawl’ is stillrequired, it MUST be reselected !

• Press the ’Inhibit’ switch (indicator lightilluminates).

• Select ’Standard’ (as described earlier inthis section).

FAULT DIAGNOSISIf the EAS self-check detects a minor fault inthe system, ’Standard’ is automaticallyselected. No ride height changes are possibleuntil the fault is rectified. The message centreemits an audible warning and ’EAS FAULT’ isdisplayed. All the EAS indicator lights flash inunison for 30 seconds before they, and theHigh suspension warning light, illuminatecontinuously.

If a major fault is detected, the vehicle lowersto ’Access’, and the message centre emits anaudible warning and displays ’SLOW: 55 KPHMAX’.

If a second fault occurs, all the EAS indicatorlights flash again.

WARNING

If either a minor, or major fault develops,take your vehicle to your dealer as soon aspossible. Only an authorised Land Roverdealer will be able to rectify faults.

NOTE: Certain minor faults are recheckedafter the EAS system is re-powered. If themessage ’EAS FAULT’ is displayed, switch offthe engine and keep all doors and tailgateclosed for at least 2 minutes, then re-start theengine.

If a fault is no longer present, normaloperation is restored. However, a record ofthe fault is stored by the system’s computerto aid your dealer.

Trip computer & overspeed warning

121

The trip computer provides valuableinformation to assist the driver to calculatefuel stops, journey times and distances.

The two push switches (illustrated) operatethe trip computer and overspeed warningsystem, and messages from the trip computerand overspeed warning system are displayedin the message centre.

NOTE: The message centre’s primaryfunction is to display warning messagesgenerated by the vehicle’s monitoringsystems. Trip computer messages are ofsecondary importance and thereforeautomatically overridden when other, moreimportant, information is required for display.The trip computer and overspeed warningmessages resume when other messages areno longer valid.

TRIP COMPUTERWith the starter switch in position ’II’, pressswitch (1) to scroll through the trip computerfunctions. These will appear in the followingorder:

• DISTANCE TO EMPTY

• AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION

• AVERAGE SPEED

• TRIP DISTANCE TWO

• TRIP DISTANCE ONE

NOTE: Trip Distance One is the computer’sdefault position.

Distance to emptyThis function is automatic and indicates theremaining distance you can travel before thefuel gauge reads empty - the message centredisplays: ’RANGE - - -’.

If the estimated remaining distance falls below80 km/h, the message centre will display’REFUEL, RANGE < 50’ (’REFUEL, RANGE <

80’), indicating that you should refuel at theearliest opportunity.

NOTE: If a recalculation of the Distance ToEmpty function occurs when the range isbetween 80 - 90 km/h, the display will showthe distance to empty message but NOT therefuel message. Take care not to run out offuel!


122

Average fuel consumptionThis function is automatic and indicates theaverage fuel consumption since the last timethe trip computer was reset (average fuelconsumption is calculated by dividing thedistance travelled by the amount of fuel used).

While the system is calculating the averagefuel consumption, the display shows’COMPUTING MPG’. Once the fuelconsumption value is calculated, ’AVERAGEMPG’ will be displayed, and a 3 digit fuelconsumption value (shown in tens, units andtenths of a gallon) also appears in the display.

NOTE: The displayed value will not change ata rate greater than 0.1 litres/100 km per 6seconds, and will be between 0 and 99.9litres/100 km.

Average speedThis function is automatic and indicates theaverage speed since the last time the tripcomputer was reset (average speed iscalculated by dividing the actual distancetravelled by the accumulated time in which thestarter switch has been turned on).

While the system is calculating the averagespeed, the display will show ’COMPUTINGMPH’. Once the calculation has been made,the display changes to ’AVG. SPEED’ followedby 3 digits indicating the average speed inhundreds, tens and units.

NOTE: The Average Speed display will changeat a maximum rate of 4 km/h per 5 seconds.

Trip distance twoThis function records the distance over whichthe average fuel consumption and speed havebeen calculated, and will always be thedistance the vehicle has travelled since thecomputer was last reset. The message centredisplays ’TRIP2 ---’.

Trip distance oneThis is a standard trip recorder of the typefitted to most motor vehicles and records thedistance travelled since the reset button (onthe right of the instrument pack) was lastpressed. Press the reset button to zero the triprecorder. If the message display shows aninternal or trip computer message, it can bechanged to display the Trip Distance Onefunction by operating the trip recorder resetbutton - the message centre displays thedistance only (without ’TRIP1 ---’).


123

Resetting the trip computerWith the starter switch turned to position ’II’,press and hold switch 1 for at least 2seconds:

• Distance To Empty and Average FuelConsumption functions both reset. Thedisplay will show ’COMPUTING RANGE’and ’COMPUTING MPG’ until a distance of1 kilometre has been travelled, after whichthe computer will once again be able tocalculate an average fuel consumptionfigure.

• Average Speed is reset. The display willshow ’COMPUTING MPH’ until the vehiclehas travelled far enough (1 kilometre) foran average speed to be available.

• Trip Distance Two function resets to zero

NOTE: The Trip Distance One function is notaffected by resetting the trip computer.

TRIP COMPUTER OVERSPEED WARNINGThe overspeed warning function is an aid tokeeping within speed limits, and is selected bypressing switch 2 (’bell’ symbol).

To set the speed limit, press the switch (onceor twice) until ’SPEED LIMIT - - -’ is displayed,and then hold the switch until the requiredspeed appears in the display (speeds willscroll upwards in increments from 30 km/h to140 km/h.

NOTE: The display will start scrolling fromwhich ever speed was previously set in thesystem memory.

As soon as the required speed appears in thedisplay, release the switch. That speed willthen be set in the system memory.

Whilst driving, if you exceed the pre-setspeed, ’SPEED LIMIT - - -’ will be displayed inthe message centre and an audible warningwill sound.

To cancel the speed you have set, pressswitch 2 again (the message ’SPEED LIMITOFF’ will appear).

Towing & load carrying

124

TOWING WITH YOUR VEHICLEThe torque ranges of Land Rover enginesallow maximum-weight loads to be pulledsmoothly from standstill, and reduce gearchanging on hills or rough terrain. Thesuspension is designed to cope with a heavytrailer load without upsetting the balance orfeel of the vehicle.

WARNING

Only fit towing accessories that have beendesigned and approved by Land Rover.

Ensure that the gross vehicle weight andmaximum rear axle weight are notexceeded.

When preparing your vehicle for towingalways pay careful attention to the trailermanufacturer’s recommendations and thefollowing guidelines.

• Set the electronic air suspension to’INHIBIT’ select STANDARD ride heightand maintain that setting whilst towing.

• Ensure that the vehicle and trailer tyrepressures are as recommended by thetrailer manufacturer.

• Check the operation of trailer brakes andlights.

• For maximum stability, ensure that loadsare properly secured and unable to shiftposition during transit. Where possible,position loads so that most of the weightis placed close to the floor andimmediately above or close to the traileraxle(s).

• After loading the trailer check that theweight on the hitch point (this is called thedraw-bar loading weight, or nose weight),is in accordance with the manufacturer’srecommendations.

• When calculating the laden weight of thetrailer, remember to include the weight ofthe trailer PLUS the load.

• Where the load can be divided betweentrailer and tow vehicle, loading moreweight into the vehicle than the trailer willgenerally improve the stability of thecombination.


125

NOTE: Towing regulations vary from countryto country. It is very important, therefore, toensure that national regulations governingtowing weights and speed limits are observed.The maximum permissible towed weights andinformation stated on the instruction labelattached to the tow bracket refer to thevehicle’s design limitations and NOT to anyspecific territorial restrictions (see ’Maximumpermissible towed weights’).

THE LAND ROVER TOWBALL(if fitted)

In some countries, vehicles are supplied witha Land Rover towball - this is stowed in thestorage tray at the side of the spare wheel.

Insert the towball into the channel beneath therear bumper, locating the rear of the towballover the stud at the rear of the channel. Holdthe towball in position and, from the left handside, insert the bolt through the channel andthe towball.

Ensure that the head of the bolt rests firmlyagainst the side of the channel. A blockwelded to the left hand side of the channelprevents rotation of the bolt when thelocknuts are tightened.

Using the wheelbrace, separately fit andtighten the two locknuts.

WARNING

Before towing, ALWAYS check that thelocknuts are fully tightened and that thecutout in the towball body is located on thestud at the rear of the channel.

ALWAYS store the towball in the storagetray at the side of the spare wheel. NEVERleave the towball loose in the vehicle whereit could become a projectile in the event ofheavy braking or an accident.

NOTE: In some countries it is a requirementthat the towball remains attached to thevehicle.


126

MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE TOWED WEIGHTS (all models)

On-road Off-road

Unbraked trailers 750 kg.................................................... 500 kgTrailers with overrun brakes 3,500 kg.................................. 1,000 kgTrailers with coupled brakes 3,500 kg.................................. 1,000 kg

NOSE WEIGHTThe recommended maximum trailer noseweight is 150 kg (330 lb). The nose weightplus the combined weight of the vehicle’s loadcarrying area and rear seat passengers mustNOT EXCEED the maximum rear axle load orthe gross vehicle weight (as shown in ’Generaldata’).

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX MODELSIf very heavy trailer loads are towed(particularly at high altitude or in hotclimates), the ’GEARBOX OVERHEAT’ warningmay appear in the message centre.

This warning indicates that the gearbox oil istoo hot, in which case you should reduce roadspeed or manually select a lower gear ortransfer to the LOW range of gears. If themessage persists, stop the vehicle and allowthe gearbox to cool. If the message resumesafter cooling, seek qualified assistance beforecontinuing.

VEHICLE WEIGHTSWhen loading a vehicle to its maximum (grossvehicle weight), consideration must be takenof the unladen vehicle weight and thedistribution of the load to ensure that axleloadings do not exceed the permittedmaximum values.

It is your responsibility to limit the vehicleload in such a way that neither the maximumaxle loads nor the gross vehicle weight areexceeded (see ’General data’ ).

WARNING

DO NOT carry unsecured equipment, tools orluggage which could move and causepersonal injury in the event of an accident oremergency manoeuvre, either on or offroad.


127

TRAILER SOCKET (if fitted)When the engine is running, powerconsumption from the trailer socket must notexceed 5 amps.

ROOF RACKA Land Rover approved roof rack is availableas an accessory. Fitting instructions andloading recommendations are detailed in theliterature provided with the roof rack; observeall recommendations.

The total load must NOT exceed that given in’General data’, and must include the weight ofthe roof rack within the load.


A loaded roof rack can reduce the stabilityof the vehicle, particularly when corneringand encountering cross winds.

All loads should be evenly distributed,and secured within the periphery of therack.

Only fit roof racks that have beendesigned for your vehicle. If in doubt,consult your dealer.

Emergency starting

128

STARTING AN ENGINE WITH A DISCHARGEDBATTERY

The ONLY recommended methods of startinga vehicle with a discharged battery are:

• Using a substitute battery fitted to thedisabled vehicle.

• Using booster cables (jump leads) toconnect the battery from a donor vehicleto the discharged battery.

WARNING

• Batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas -keep sparks and naked lights away fromthe engine compartment.

• DO NOT attempt to jump start the vehicleif the electrolyte in the battery issuspected of being frozen.

• Make sure BOTH batteries are of thesame voltage (12 volts), and that thebooster cables have insulated clampsand are approved for use with 12 voltbatteries.

• DO NOT disconnect the dischargedbattery.

• DO NOT connect positive (+) terminals tonegative (-) terminals, and ensurebooster cables are kept away from anymoving parts in the enginecompartment.

• Take care when working near rotatingparts of the engine.

USING BOOSTER CABLESIf a donor vehicle is to be used, both vehiclesshould be parked with their battery locationsadjacent to each other. Ensure that the twovehicles do not touch.

Apply the handbrakes and ensure that thetransmission of both vehicles is set in neutral(’P’ or Park for vehicles with automatictransmission).

Turn off the starter switch and ALL electricalequipment of BOTH vehicles, then follow theinstructions specific to petrol or diesel enginemodels on the pages that follow.

Emergency starting

129

CONNECTING THE BOOSTER CABLES

PETROL ENGINES

Always adopt the following procedure:Connect the RED booster cable between thepositive (+) terminal of the donor battery andthe positive (+) terminal of the dischargedbattery.

Connect the BLACK booster cable from thenegative (-) terminal of the donor battery to agood earth point (eg. an engine mounting orother unpainted surface) at least 0.5 m fromthe battery and well away from fuel and brakelines on the disabled vehicle (engine liftingring shown in illustration).

WARNING

For safety reasons;

• DO NOT connect the BLACK cable to thenegative terminal of the dischargedbattery - if in doubt, seek qualifiedassistance.

Check that the booster cables are clear of anymoving parts in either engine, then start theengine of the donor vehicle and allow it to idlefor a few minutes.

Now start the vehicle with the dischargedbattery. Once both engines are runningnormally, allow them to idle for two minutesbefore switching off the engine of the donorvehicle.

DO NOT switch on any electrical circuits onthe previously disabled vehicle until AFTER thebooster cables have been removed.

Disconnecting the booster cables must be anEXACT reversal of the procedure used toconnect them, ie: disconnect the BLACK cablefrom the earth point on the disabled vehicleFIRST.

Emergency starting

130

CONNECTING THE BOOSTER CABLES

DIESEL ENGINES

Always adopt the following procedure,ensuring the cables are connected in theorder shown below:

1. Connect one end of the RED booster cableto the positive (+) terminal of the donorbattery.

2. Connect the other end of the RED boostercable to the positive (+) terminal of thedischarged battery.

3. Connect one end of the BLACK boostercable to the negative (-) terminal of theDISCHARGED battery.

4. Connect the other end of the BLACKbooster cable to the negative (-) terminalof the donor battery.

WARNING

For safety reasons:

• ALWAYS connect the BLACK cable to thedonor battery LAST.

• ENSURE that each connection is securelymade and that there is no risk of theclips accidentally slipping or beingpulled from the battery terminals.

• BE AWARE that loose connectionsbetween cable clips and batteryterminals could cause sparking, whichcould lead to explosion or fire.

Check that the booster cables are clear of anymoving parts in either engine, then start theengine of the donor vehicle and allow it to idlefor a few minutes.

Now start the vehicle with the dischargedbattery. Once both engines are runningnormally, allow them to idle for two minutesbefore switching off the the donor vehicleengine.

DO NOT switch on any electrical circuits onthe previously disabled vehicle until AFTER thebooster cables have been removed.

Disconnecting the booster cables must be anEXACT reversal of the procedure used toconnect them, ie: disconnect the BLACK cablefrom the negative (-) terminal on the donorvehicle FIRST.

Emergency towing

131

Front towing eyeUse ONLY when the vehicle is to be towedwith ALL four wheels on the ground. (see’Towing the vehicle on four-wheels’).

Rear towing eyeUse ONLY when towing another vehicle.

WARNING

If transfer neutral has been selected, it isessential to remove fuse 11 and press thetransfer ’Hi/Lo’ switch (to re-select high orlow range) before leaving the vehiclestationary.

Towing the vehicle on four-wheelsIf it is necessary to recover the vehicle bytowing on all four wheels, select transferneutral as follows:

• With the starter key removed, insert a fuse(5 amps or greater) in fuse position 11 inthe right hand seat fuse box. Insert keyand turn the starter switch on; the transferbox will automatically select neutral (waituntil the message centre displays’TRANSFER NEUTRAL’), then turn thestarter switch off.

• Turn the starter switch to position ’I’ tounlock the steering and leave in thisposition while the vehicle is being towed.

• To re-engage HIGH or LOW range aftertowing, turn the starter switch off, removethe fuse from position 11, then turn thestarter switch on and press the rangechange switch (manual gearbox) - thetransfer box will engage the HIGH or LOWgear range.

NOTE: If, due to an accident or electricalfault, it is considered unsafe to turn the starterswitch, the battery must be disconnected.

Emergency towing

132


DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle unlessthe starter switch is turned to position ’I’(to unlock the steering).

DO NOT attempt to remove the starter keyor turn the switch to position ’0’ while thevehicle is in motion.

Without the engine running the powersteering pump and brake servo cannotprovide assistance. Greater effort will berequired to operate the brake pedal and toturn the steering wheel and, therefore,safely control the vehicle.

Towing the vehicle on two-wheelsIf it is necessary to recover the vehicle bytowing on two wheels only, always adhere tothe following:

Remove the propeller shaft from the axlewhich is to remain on the road.

The propeller shaft flange and shaft must bemarked before removal to ensure correctre-assembly. Secure the suspended propellershaft safely to prevent damage.

WARNING

If the rear axle is to be raised, the steeringwheel and/or linkage MUST be secured in astraight ahead position, but the steeringlock MUST NOT be used for this purpose.The vehicle can then be attached to thetowing truck.

Transporter or trailer lashingIf your vehicle should require transporting onthe back of a truck, then the air suspensionmust be set to ’ACCESS’ before being lashed(see ’Electronic air suspension’ ). Use therings on the front and rear cross-members aslashing points (see illustration). DO NOTsecure lashing hooks or trailer fixings to anyother part of the vehicle.

If the air suspension cannot be set to the’ACCESS’ position, then your vehicle must belashed by its wheels and NOT by the lashingrings referred to above.

133

The long-term safety, reliability andperformance of your vehicle will depend verylargely on how it is maintained.

Maintenance is the owner’s responsibility andit is ESSENTIAL that all routine services arecarried out at the specified intervals. These areshown in the Service Portfolio book includedin the literature pack. The Service Portfoliobook also includes service record dockets,which must be correctly endorsed by yourLand Rover dealer at the conclusion of eachservice.

This section of the handbook includesinformation to assist the owner carry outthose daily, weekly and monthly checks thatare also necessary to ensure safe, reliablemotoring.

OWNER MAINTENANCEIn addition to the routine services, whichshould be carried out according to themanufacturer’s recommendations at theintervals shown in the Service Portfolio book,a number of simple checks (listed below)must be carried out by the owner or driver ona regular basis. These are fully described onthe pages that follow.

Daily checks

• Operation of lights, horn, directionindicators, wipers, washers and warninglights.

• Operation of seat belts and brakes.

• Look for deposits on the garage floorwhich may indicate a fluid leak.

Weekly checksThese should be carried out at least every400 km.

• Engine oil level.

• Cooling system level.

• Screen washer reservoir level.

• Condition and pressure of tyres.

Monthly checks

• Brake fluid level.

• Power steering fluid level.

NOTE: Any significant or sudden drop in fluidlevels, or uneven tyre wear should be reportedto your dealer without delay.

The fluid level on manual gearboxes shouldonly be checked by a Land Rover dealer at thetime of a routine service.

All fluid specifications and capacities areshown in ’General data’.


Special operating conditionsWhen a vehicle is operated in extremelyarduous conditions or on dusty, wet ormuddy terrain, more frequent attentionmust be paid to servicing requirements.

For example; if your vehicle experiencesdeep wading conditions, even DAILYservicing could be necessary to ensurethe continued safe and reliable operationof the vehicle.

Contact a Land Rover dealer for advice.

Owner maintenance

136

Planned maintenanceRegular systematic maintenance is the key toensuring the continued reliability andefficiency of your vehicle.

The routine maintenance requirements foryour vehicle are shown in the Service Portfoliobook. Most of this necessary workshopmaintenance requires specialised knowledgeand equipment, and should preferably beentrusted to your Land Rover dealer.

Emission controlYour vehicle is fitted with various items ofemission and evaporative control equipmentdesigned to meet specific territorialrequirements.

You should be aware that unauthorisedreplacement, modification or tampering withthis equipment by an owner or repair shopmay be unlawful and subject to legal penalties.

In addition, engine settings must not betampered with. These have been establishedto ensure that your vehicle complies withstringent exhaust emission regulations.Incorrect engine settings may adversely affectexhaust emissions, engine performance andfuel consumption, as well as causing hightemperatures, which will result in damage tothe catalytic converter and the vehicle.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should any part ofthe fuel system be dismantled or replacedby anyone other than a suitably qualifiedmotor vehicle technician. Failure to complywith this instruction may result in fuelspillage with a consequent serious risk offire.

Road testing on dynamometers(’rolling roads’)

WARNING

Because your vehicle is equipped withanti-lock brakes and permanent four-wheeldrive, it is essential that any dynamometertesting is carried out ONLY by a qualifiedperson familiar with the dynamometertesting and safety procedures practiced byLand Rover dealers. Contact your LandRover dealer for further information.

SteeringThe intermediate steering shaft connecting thesteering column to the steering box isdesigned to disconnect under certain crashconditions. This is a critical safety feature andany servicing, replacement or repair mustONLY be carried out by an authorised dealerusing approved Land Rover parts.

Examination of the intermediate shaft every24,000 miles (40,000 km) or two years is animportant part of the vehicle’s servicingschedule. However, you should be aware thata more thorough examination MUST becarried out if the vehicle is involved in a frontalcollision.

Under no circumstances should any form ofoil, grease or lubricant be applied to any partof the steering column at any time; any noiseor roughness of operation should be reportedto your dealer.

Owner maintenance

137

SAFETY IN THE GARAGEWhenever you carry out maintenance onyour vehicle, the following safetyprecautions should be observed at all times:

• ALWAYS keep hands, tools and items ofclothing clear of all drive belts and pulleys.

• DO NOT touch the exhaust or coolingsystem components until they are cool.

• DO NOT touch electrical leads orcomponents with the starter switch turnedon.

• NEVER leave the engine running in anunventilated area; exhaust gases containcarbon monoxide which can causeunconsciousness and may even be fatal.

• DO NOT work beneath the vehicle with avehicle lifting jack as the only means ofsupport.

• ENSURE sparks and naked lights are keptaway from the engine compartment.

WARNING

Remember; cooling fans may continue tooperate after the engine is switched off.Always wait until the fans have completelystopped moving before working in theengine compartment.

Poisonous liquidsMost liquids and lubricants used in motorvehicles are poisonous and should not beconsumed or brought into contact with openwounds. These include: battery acid,anti-freeze, brake, clutch and power steeringfluids, as well as petrol, diesel, oil andwindscreen washer additives.

For your own safety, ALWAYS read and obeyall instructions printed on labels andcontainers.

Used engine oilProlonged contact with engine oil may causeserious skin disorders, including dermatitisand cancer of the skin. ALWAYS washthoroughly after contact.

It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses orsoil with toxic chemicals such as used engineoil. ALWAYS dispose of vehicle fluids andlubricants at authorised waste disposal sitesor at garages which provide facilities for thereceipt of discharged batteries, used oil andtoxic chemicals. If in doubt contact your LocalAuthority for advice.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK & TOP-UPCheck the oil level at least every 400 km whenthe engine is COLD and with the vehicleresting on level ground, as follows:

1. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the bladeclean.

2. Fully reinsert the dipstick and withdrawagain to check the level, which shouldNEVER be allowed to fall below the lowermark on the dipstick.

3. To top-up, unscrew the oil filler cap andadd oil to maintain the level between theUPPER and LOWER marks on the dipstick.

DO NOT OVERFILL!

As a general guide, if the level on the dipstick:

• is nearer to the upper mark than the lower,add no oil.

• is nearer to the lower mark than the upper,add half a litre of oil.

• is below the lower mark, add one litre ofoil and re-check the level after a furtherfive minutes.

Diesel engine

NOTE: If it is necessary to check the oil levelwhen the engine is hot, switch off the engineand let the vehicle stand for five minutes toallow the oil to drain back into the sump. Thenfollow the procedure already described.

Oil SpecificationIt is essential to use an oil suitable for theclimatic conditions in which the vehicle is tobe operated. Precise specifications are shownin ’General data’. If in doubt, contact yourLand Rover dealer.

COOLING SYSTEM TOP-UP

WARNING

NEVER remove the filler cap when theengine is hot; escaping steam or scaldingwater could cause serious personal injury.

The coolant level in the expansion tankshould be checked at least weekly (moreoften in high mileage or arduous operatingconditions). Always check the level WHENTHE SYSTEM IS COLD.

Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing theair pressure to escape, before removingcompletely.

NEVER run the engine without coolant.

Take care not to spill anti-freeze onto a hotengine, a fire may result.

COLD LEVEL

H3576

Top-up to the arrowhead (next to the seam)on the side of the tank with a 50% mixture ofanti-freeze and water. Ensure the cap istightened fully after top-up is completed.

If the level has fallen appreciably, suspectleakage or overheating and arrange for yourdealer to examine the vehicle.

DO NOT OVERFILL!

Anti-freezeAnti-freeze contains important corrosioninhibitors. The anti-freeze/water solution mustbe maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round(not just in cold conditions). If the anti-freezecontent is allowed to exceed 55%, or reducesto less than 45%, then either the coolingperformance or anti-corrosion properties ofthe coolant will be adversely affected.

Use ONLY a 50% mix of water and HavolineExtended Life Coolant (XLC) or any ethyleneglycol based anti-freeze (containing nomethanol) with only Organic Acid Technology(OAT) corrosion inhibitors.

In an emergency (and only if this type ofanti-freeze is unavailable) top-up the coolingsystem with clean water, but be aware of theresultant reduction in frost protection. DONOT top-up or refill with conventionalanti-freeze formulations. If in doubt, consult aLand Rover dealer.

Engine compartment

143

The specific gravity of a 50% anti-freezesolution at 20° C (68° F) is 1.075 and protectsagainst frost down to-36° C (-33° F).

WARNING

• Prevent anti-freeze coming in contactwith the skin or eyes. If this occurs, rinseimmediately with copious amounts ofwater.

• Anti-freeze is poisonous and can be fatalif swallowed. If swallowing is suspected,seek medical advice immediately.

• Anti-freeze will damage paintedsurfaces.

• NEVER top up with salt water. Even whentravelling in territories where the watersupply contains salt, always ensure youcarry a supply of fresh (rain or distilled)water.

WARNING

Contact your dealer immediately if brakepedal travel is unusually long or if there isany appreciable drop in brake fluid level.

BRAKE FLUID CHECKThe fluid level will fall slightly during use as aresult of brake pad wear, but should not beallowed to fall below the ’MIN’ mark. Anysubstantial drop in fluid indicates a leak in thesystem, in which case the vehicle must NOTbe driven and you should contact your dealer.

With the vehicle on level ground, check thefluid level at least every month (morefrequently in high mileage or arduousoperating conditions) as follows:

1. Turn the starter switch to position ’II’ toactivate the pump (brake warning lightilluminates).

2. If the pump cannot be heard to operate,press the brake pedal several times.

3. Wait until the pump has stopped operatingand the warning light has extinguishedbefore checking the fluid level.

Topping-upWipe the filler cap before removing to preventdirt from entering the reservoir, then top-up tothe ’MAX’ mark using a recommended fluid(see ’General data’).

Use only new fluid from a sealed container(old fluid from opened containers or fluidpreviously bled from the system must NOT beused).

DO NOT OVERFILL!

NOTE: Vehicles with manual gearboxes usethe same reservoir for brake and clutch.

WARNING

Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containersout of the reach of children. If consumptionof fluid is suspected, seek medical attentionimmediately.

DO NOT drive if the reservoir fluid level isbelow the ’MIN’ mark.

Brake/clutch fluid will damage paintedsurfaces: soak up any spillage with anabsorbant cloth immediately and wash thearea with a mixture of car shampoo andwater.

Take care not to spill fluid onto a hot engine- a fire may result.

If the fluid should come into contact with theskin or eyes, rinse immediately with plentyof fresh water.

Engine compartment

146

WARNING

It is vital that the hydraulic brake fluid iscompletely renewed at 60,000 km intervalsor every 36 months, whichever is sooner.

At 120,000 km intervals or every 6 years,whichever is sooner, all hydraulic brakefluid, seals and flexible hoses should berenewed. All working surfaces of the calipercylinders should be examined and thecomponents renewed where necessary.Under arduous operating conditions, theseintervals must be reduced. Please consultyour Land Rover Dealer for advice.

WARNING

Power steering fluid is highly toxic - keepcontainers sealed and out of the reach ofchildren. If consumption of power steeringfluid is suspected, seek medical attentionimmediately.

If power steering fluid should come intocontact with the skin or eyes, rinseimmediately with plenty of water.

Do not spill power steering fluid onto a hotengine - a fire may result.

Power steering fluid will damage paintedsurfaces: Soak up any spillage with anabsorbent cloth immediately and wash thearea with a mixture of car shampoo andwater.

POWER STEERING TOP-UPONLY check the fluid level when the engine isswitched off and the system is cold andensure that the steering wheel is not turnedafter stopping the engine.

Wipe the filler cap to prevent dirt fromentering the reservoir.

Remove the filler cap and, using a lint-freecloth, wipe the dipstick clean. Refit the fillercap fully and remove it again to check the fluidlevel. Add fluid to the reservoir until the levelis between the upper mark and the bottom ofthe dipstick (see ’General data’ forrecommended fluid).

• DO NOT fill above the UPPER mark on thedipstick.

WARNING

The engine must NOT be started if the fluidlevel has dropped below the bottom of thedipstick - severe damage to the pump couldresult.

Tyres

147

WARNING

• Never drive your vehicle if the tyres arebadly worn, cut or damaged, or if thepressures are incorrect.

• Incorrectly inflated tyres wear rapidlyand seriously affect the vehicle’s safetyand road handling characteristics.

Caring for your tyresAlways drive with consideration for thecondition of the tyres and frequently inspectthe tread and side walls for signs of distortionor damage (in particular, look for lumps, cutsand bulges).

Tyre pressuresTyre pressures should be checked at leastonce a week with normal road use, but shouldbe checked DAILY if the vehicle is usedoff-road.

Check the pressures, including the spare,when the tyres are cold (air pressure naturallyincreases in warm tyres). The recommendedpressures are given in the ’General data’section.

WARNING

If the vehicle has been parked in strongsunlight or is used in high ambienttemperatures, DO NOT reduce tyrepressures; instead, move the vehicle intoshade and allow the tyres to cool beforechecking.

Tyre wearSome tyres fitted as original equipment havewear indicators moulded into the treadpattern. When the tread has worn down to 1.6mm the indicators start appearing on thesurface of the tread pattern, producing theeffect of a continuous band across the widthof the tyre.

A tyre MUST be replaced as soon as anindicator band becomes visible or the treaddepth reaches the minimum permitted bylegislation.

Tread depth must be checked regularly (atevery maintenance service, or morefrequently). Always replace a tyre before thetread reaches a remaining depth of 1.6 mm.DO NOT drive with tyres worn to this limit; thesafety of the vehicle and its occupants will beadversely affected.

NOTE: After off-road use, check to make surethere are no lumps or bulges in the tyres orexposure of the ply or cord structure.

Valve capsKeep the valve caps screwed down firmly toprevent dirt from entering the valve.

Tyres

148

Replacement tyresWheel rims and tyres are matched to suit thehandling characteristics of the vehicle. Forsafety, ALWAYS check that replacement tyrescomply with the manufacturer’s originalspecification and that the load rating shownon the side wall is the same as that of theoriginal equipment. Contact your Land Roverdealer for further information or assistance.

WARNING

Do not replace wheels with any type otherthan genuine Land Rover parts. Wheels andtyres are designed for both off-road andon-road use and have a very importantinfluence upon the correct operation of thesuspension systems and vehicle handling.Alternative wheels which do not meetoriginal equipment specifications should notbe fitted.

NOTE: Tyre sizes and pressure are shown in’General data’.

Snow chainsSnow chains are designed for on-road use inextreme snow conditions only, and are notrecommended for off-road use. It isrecommended that only Land Rover approvedsnow chains are fitted and that the followingrecommendations are always observed:

• Only Land Rover approved snow chainscan be fitted to the front wheels.

• Only fit snow chains in pairs.

• Always adhere to the snow chain fittingand retensioning instructions and thespeed limit recommendations for varyingroad conditions. Never exceed 50 km/h.

• Avoid tyre damage by removing snowchains as soon as the road is free of snow.

• If only non-approved snow chains areavailable, they MUST only be fitted to theREAR wheels.

For more information or assistance, consultyour Land Rover dealer.

WARNING

DO NOT fit non-approved snow chains to theFRONT wheels - this could damage brakecomponents.

When fitting snow chains, always take careto avoid any possible damage to alloywheels.

NOTE: If a full set of four chains is to beused, they MUST be Land Rover approved.

Battery

151

WARNING

Batteries contain acid, which is bothcorrosive and poisonous. If spillage occurs:

• On clothing or the skin - remove anycontaminated clothing immediately,flush the skin with large amounts ofwater, and seek medical attentionurgently.

• In the eyes - flush with clean waterimmediately for at least 15 minutes.Seek medical attention urgently.

Swallowing battery acid can be fatalunless IMMEDIATE action is taken - seekmedical attention urgently.

During normal operation batteries emitexplosive hydrogen gas - ensure sparksand naked lights are kept away from theengine compartment.

For your safety remove all metal wristbands and jewellery before working inthe engine compartment and NEVERallow the battery terminals or vehicleleads to make contact with tools or metalparts of the vehicle.

Battery maintenanceThe battery is designed to be maintenancefree, so topping-up is unnecessary. On the topof the battery there is a battery conditionindicator (arrowed in illustration). Examine theindicator periodically to check the battery’scondition. When the indicator shows:

• GREEN - the battery is in a good state ofcharge.

• DARK (turning to black) - the batteryneeds charging.

• CLEAR (or light yellow) - the battery must

be replaced. Do not charge the battery orjump start the car in this condition.

• If the green dot is missing, the batteryneeds charging.

NOTE: When checking the battery conditionindicator, if necessary, clean the battery top toensure a clear view.

If the indicator shows clear or yellow, tap theindicator with the handle of a screwdriver todisperse any air bubbles. If the colour isunchanged, the battery must be replaced.

Battery removal & replacement

Turn the three turnbuckles anti-clockwise torelease the battery cover and switch off allelectrical equipment.

Your vehicle may be fitted with a batterybacked-up sounder, which operates as ananti-theft siren if the main battery isdisconnected. If the main vehicle battery is tobe removed, it is ESSENTIAL to adopt thefollowing procedure before disconnecting theterminals, in order to prevent the alarm fromsounding:

1. Turn starter switch ’on’ and then ’off’ andthen remove the key from the vehicle.

2. Disconnect battery WITHIN 17 SECONDS(if the battery is not disconnected within17 seconds, the alarm will sound).

ALWAYS disconnect the negative (-) cablefirst and then the positive (’+’) cable. Whenreconnecting, connect the positive cable firstand then the negative cable. Do not allow thebattery terminals to make contact with metalparts of the vehicle.

To release the battery from the car, undo thenuts securing the battery clamping plate andremove the clamping plate.

When replacing, ensure the battery is fittedthe right way round (positive terminal towardsthe centre of the vehicle) and that theclamping plate is secure. Tighten the clampingplate nuts until the clamping plate is free frommovement, but do not overtighten.

If the siren sounds when the battery isreconnected, it can NOT be turned off in thenormal way (ie. by operating the handsetbuttons). To deactivate the alarm, turn thestarter switch to position ’1’.

Replacement batteriesOnly fit a replacement battery of the same typeand specification as the original - otherbatteries may vary in size or have differentterminal positions which could cause a firehazard when connected to the vehicle’selectrical system.

Battery disposalUsed batteries should be recycled. However,batteries are hazardous - you should seekadvice about disposal from a Land Roverdealer or your local authority.

WARNING

• Do not reverse the polarity of the battery- the electrical system may be damagedif the battery leads are connected to thewrong terminals.

• Keep the battery upright at all times -damage will be caused if the battery istilted more than 45 degrees.

• DO NOT run the engine with the batterydisconnected, or disconnect the batterywhile the engine is running.

Battery

153

BATTERY CHARGINGBatteries generate explosive gases, containcorrosive acid and produce levels of electriccurrent sufficient to cause serious injury.While charging always heed the followingprecautions:

• Before charging, disconnect and removethe battery from the vehicle - charging thebattery with the cables connected maydamage the car’s electrical system.

• Make sure the battery charger leads aresecurely clamped to the battery terminalsBEFORE switching on the battery charger.Do not move the leads once the charger isswitched on.

• While charging, shield your eyes or avoidleaning over the battery and keep the areaaround the top of the battery wellventilated.

• Do not allow naked lights near the battery(batteries generate inflammable hydrogenduring and after charging).

• The battery will be charged sufficientlyonce the battery condition indicator showsGREEN. When charging is finished, switchoff the battery charger BEFOREdisconnecting the leads from the batteryterminals.

• After charging, leave the battery for anhour BEFORE reconnection to the vehicle -this will allow time for explosive gases todisperse, thereby minimising the risk offire or explosion.

NOTE: Be aware that a battery will take longerto charge in a cold environment.

WARNING

DO NOT charge the battery if it is connectedto the car - this may seriously damage theelectrical system.

DO NOT attempt to charge the battery if thebattery condition indicator is clear or lightyellow.

DO NOT charge the battery if it is suspectedof being frozen.

Wheel changing

155

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, before jackingthe vehicle the air suspension system mustbe ’frozen’ - this will prevent the suspensionfrom self-levelling or the ride height fromchanging while the vehicle is supported bythe wheel changing jack.

To freeze the suspension:

1. Before freezing the suspension, ensurethat either Standard or High ride height areengaged - this will provide sufficient spacebeneath the vehicle to locate and operatethe jack.

2. Open the tailgate

3. Switch on the hazard warning lights

The hazard warning lights MUST remainflashing and the tailgate open THROUGHOUTTHE WHOLE wheel changing process.

Using the wheel chocks

WARNING

Before raising the vehicle, it is ESSENTIALto chock one of the road wheels; thehandbrake acts on the transmission, not onthe rear wheels, and therefore may not holdthe vehicle when raised.

If possible, position the vehicles on levelground, chocking both sides of the wheeldiagonally opposite the one to be removed.

If jacking the vehicle on a slope isunavoidable, place the chocks on the downhillside of the two opposite wheels.

The wheel chocks are stowed with the jack,jack lever, wheel brace and steel spare wheelbeneath the loadspace floor.


Before jacking the vehicle always observethe following precautions!

• Park your vehicle away from thethoroughfare, and make yourpassengers wait in a safe areaAWAY from the vehicle.

• Apply the handbrake and engagefirst gear (select ’P’ for automaticgearboxes) in Low or High range.

• Ensure the air suspension system isfrozen, and remove the starter key.

• NEVER jack the vehicle withpassengers inside, or with a caravanor trailer connected!

• NEVER work beneath the vehiclewith the jack as the only means ofsupport. The jack is designed forwheel changing only!

Wheel changing

156

Removing the spare wheelFully open the tailgate and hinge the rearportion of the parcel shelf forward.

Unlatch and raise the loadspace floor paneland then secure the panel in a raised positionby engaging the stay (as shown).

Using the wheel brace, remove the sparewheel retaining nut. Pull the loop of thewebbing rearward; the wheel will be raised upand lifted onto the rear tailgate.

WARNING

The wheels are extremely heavy. Take carewhen lifting and particularly when removingthe spare wheel from the loadspace.

Wheel changing

157

Operating the jackSlot the two parts of the jack lever together,ensuring that the spring clip protrudes fromthe engagement slot where the two parts join(see inset ’A’). Close the jack release valve byusing the notched end of the jack lever to turnthe valve fully clockwise (see inset ’B’). Insertthe lever into the socket as shown (inset ’C’)and twist the lever to lock it into the socket.Pump the lever up and down to raise the jack.

To lower the jack, withdraw the lever and slotthe notched end over the pegs on the releasevalve. Slowly turn the release valveanti-clockwise, allowing the weight of thevehicle to lower the jack.

WARNING

• Ensure the jack is positioned on firm,level ground.

• DO NOT use the jack to raise the vehicleuntil you have carefully read andunderstood ’Positioning the jack’ later inthis section. If in doubt, consult yourdealer.

• Care must be taken to avoid accidentalcontact with any underbody parts,especially the hot exhaust systemcomponents, likely to cause personalinjury during raising or lowering of thevehicle.

• Ensure that the space under and aroundthe vehicle is free from obstruction as itis lowered.

Wheel changing

158

Positioning the jackBefore positioning the jack, ensure that the airsuspension system is frozen (key removedfrom starter switch, hazard lights switched on,and tailgate open). If the vehicle hadpreviously settled to Low ride height (orAccess), it will be necessary to improveaccess beneath the vehicle by starting theengine and raising the vehicle to Standard orHigh ride height before positioning the jack.Always position the jack from the front or rearof the vehicle directly in line with the jackingpoints.

WARNING

• NEVER use the jack from the side of thevehicle.

• ALWAYS use the complete, two piece,jacking lever throughout to minimise anyaccidental contact with a hot exhaustsystem.

• ONLY jack the vehicle using the jacklocation points described or damage tothe vehicle could occur.

Rear jacking point:Push the mud flap (if fitted) up over the tyreto allow clear access. Position the jack so that,when raised, it engages with the rear axlecasing immediately below the air spring andas close as possible to the shock absorbermounting bracket (see illustration).

Front jacking point:Position the jack so that, when raised, it willengage with the front axle casing immediatelybelow the air spring (see illustration). Thecradle of the jack must locate between the endof the axle and the point where the radius armattaches to the axle (see illustration).

Wheel changing

159

Changing a wheelBefore raising the vehicle, ensure that all theprecautions listed at the beginning of thissection have been observed.

Also, ensure that the wheel chocks arecorrectly positioned (as described previously)and that the air suspension system is ’frozen’at Standard or High ride height.

WARNING

To prevent any accidental change in the rideheight or automatic levelling of thesuspension, the air suspension system mustremain inhibited during the WHOLE wheelchanging process - to achieve this, ALWAYSremove the key from the starter switch andensure that the tailgate remains open andthe hazard lights are operating throughout.

• Use the wheel brace to slacken the wheelnuts half a turn anti-clockwise (see’Locking wheel nuts’).

• Raise the vehicle until the tyre is clear ofthe ground and remove the wheel nutsand wheel (DO NOT damage the surface ofalloy wheels by placing them face down onthe road).

• Use an approved anti-seize compound totreat the wheel-mounting spigot tominimise the tendency for adhesionbetween the wheel and the spigot. Ensurethat no oil or compound comes intocontact with the brake components. If, dueto an emergency situation, this treatmentis not practicable; refit the spare wheel forthe time being, but remove and treat thewheel at the earliest opportunity.

• Fit the spare wheel and lightly tighten thewheel nuts, ensuring they are firmlyseated. DO NOT fully tighten whilst thetyre is clear of the ground.

WARNING

When fitting a wheel, ensure that the matingfaces of the hub and wheel are clean andfree from rust - an accumulation of dirt orrust could cause the wheel nuts to becomeloose and result in an accident.

Wheel changing

160

• Lower the vehicle and remove the jack andwheel chocks.

• Fully tighten the wheel nuts and replacethe locking wheel nut cover. DO NOTOVERTIGHTEN by using foot pressure orextension bars on the wheel brace. Checkthe wheel nut torque at the earliestopportunity (see ’General data’).

• REMEMBER to change to ’H’ (high range)before driving.

• Finally, check the tyre pressure (see’General data’).

Care of the jackExamine the jack occasionally; clean andgrease the moving parts, particularly the ram,to prevent corrosion.

To avoid contamination, the jack shouldalways be stowed in its fully closed position.

Wheel centre capAfter fitting the spare wheel, it will benecessary to remove the centre cap from thereplaced road wheel in order to stow thewheel in the spare wheel compartment.

Using a suitable blunt implement (the handleof a large screwdriver, for example) apply lightpressure to the rear of the cap. Use handpressure only to replace the cap.

Replacing the spare wheelPreferably clean and dry the wheel beforestowing it in the vehicle.

Lay the webbing flat across the lower tailgateand place the wheel face down with the rearedge of the tyre in line with the mark on thewebbing.

Grasp the webbing loop, raise the wheel fromthe tailgate, and lower into position, then fitand tighten the wheel securing nut.

WARNING

After wheel changing always secure tools,chocks, jack and spare wheel in their correctstorage positions.

161

LOCKING WHEEL NUTS

In some markets, vehicles are equipped with alocking wheel nut on each wheel (excludingthe spare). The locking wheel nut covers arevisually very similar to standard wheel nutsbut can be identified by a concave indent onthe surface. The locking wheel nut and covercan only be removed using the special toolsprovided, as follows:

• Push the extractor tool (1) firmly over thestainless steel nut cover (2).

• Pull the extractor tool squarely away fromthe wheel to remove the nut cover andreveal the locking wheel nut (3).

• Fit the metal key socket (4) securely overthe locking wheel nut (3).

• Fit the wheel nut wrench onto the keysocket and unscrew the nut in the normalway.

A code letter is stamped on the face of the keysocket. Ensure the code letter is entered in thespace provided on your Security Informationcard - you will need to quote this letter ifreplacement components are required. Keepthe card in a safe place away from the vehicle.

For security reasons, store the key socket andextractor tool in the glovebox and keep theglovebox locked.

NOTE: If the extractor tool has beeninadvertently pushed onto a standard wheelnut, it can be removed ONLY by first undoingand removing the nut; slide the wheel nutwrench down the centre of the extractor andonto the wheel nut.

Cleaning & vehicle care

174

WASHING YOUR VEHICLEWash your vehicle frequently using a clean,grit free sponge and generous quantities ofcold or lukewarm water containing a carshampoo. Rinse and dry off with a chamoisleather.

• Do not use hot water!

• Do not use detergent soap products orwashing-up liquid!

During winter months when salt has beenused on the roads, use a hose to wash theunderside of the vehicle. Pay particularattention to wheelarches and panel seams,and to removing accumulations of mud.

Similarly, after off-road driving or wading inmuddy or salt water conditions, use a hose towash underbody components and otherexposed parts of the vehicle.

When using a hose, do not direct the jet intothe heater air intake ducts, or through thewheel trim apertures onto the brakecomponents, or at the door, window orsunroof seals, where water pressure couldpenetrate the seals.

WARNING

Some high pressure cleaning systems aresufficiently powerful to penetrate door andwindow seals and damage rubbing stripsand locking mechanisms. Never aim thewater jet directly at heater air intakes, bodyand sunroof seals, or at any componentsthat might easily be damaged.

Getting rid of tar spotsUse white spirit to remove tar spots andstubborn grease stains from the paintwork.Then wash immediately with soapy water toremove all traces of spirit.

Body protectionAfter washing, inspect the paintwork fordamage. Treat paint chips and scratches withtouch-up paint to prevent corrosion, andoccasionally protect the paint surface with anapplication of car polish.

NOTE: DO NOT apply car polish to themoulded bumpers - polish will becomeingrained in the textured finish of themouldings.

Glass & mirrorsClean the rear screen with a soft cloth to avoiddamaging the heater elements. DO NOTscrape the glass or use an abrasive cleaningfluid.

Mirror glass is particularly susceptible todamage; DO NOT use abrasive cleaningcompounds or metal scrapers.

Cleaning & vehicle care

175

LOOKING AFTER THE INTERIORClean plastic-faced or cloth covered surfaceswith diluted upholstery cleaner.

Leather seats, steering wheel and trimfeatures should be cleaned with a damp clothmoistened with undiluted upholstery cleaner.Leave for five minutes, and then repeat theoperation using a clean, cloth and water, butavoid flooding the area! Dry and polish theleather with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth.

DO NOT use petrol, detergents, furniturecreams or polishes.

Instrument pack, clock & radioClean with a dry cloth. DO NOT use cleaningfluids or sprays.

Seat beltsExtend belts, then use warm water and anon-detergent soap to clean. Allow to drynaturally, and do not retract until completelydry.

Airbag SRSTo prevent airbag SRS damage, the airbagmodule covers, (steering wheel centre pad,front seat backs and area of the fascia panelcontaining the front passenger airbag) shouldONLY be cleaned sparingly with a damp clothand upholstery cleaner.

DO NOT allow these areas to be flooded withliquid, and DO NOT use petrol, detergent,furniture cream or polishes.

This section of the handbook is devoted toyour vehicle’s superb off-road drivingcapabilities.

Before venturing off-road however, it isabsolutely essential that inexperienceddrivers become fully familiar with the vehicle’scontrols, in particular the transfer gearbox,and also study the off-road driving techniquesdescribed on the following pages.

WARNING

Off-road driving can be hazardous!

• DO NOT take unnecessary risks.

• Be prepared for emergencies at alltimes.

• Familiarise yourself with therecommended driving techniques inorder to minimise risks to yourself, yourvehicle AND your passengers.

• Remove the CD autochanger (if fitted)before arduous off-road driving.

• Always wear a seat belt for personalprotection in all off-road drivingconditions.

• DO NOT drive if the fuel level is low -undulating ground and steep inclinescould cause fuel starvation to the engineand consequent damage to the catalyticconverter.

• Driving 0ff-road with a loaded roof rackis NOT recommended. If it is necessaryto stow luggage on the roof rack whiledriving off-road, all loads MUST beremoved before traversing side slopes.

BASIC OFF-ROAD TECHNIQUESThese basic driving techniques are anintroduction to the art of off-road driving anddo not necessarily provide the informationneeded to successfully cope with every singleoff-road situation.

We strongly recommend that owners whointend to drive off-road frequently, shouldseek as much additional information andpractical experience as possible.

Gear selection - manual gearboxCorrect gear selection is possibly the singlemost important factor for safe and successfuloff-road driving. While only experience will tellyou which is the correct gear for any sectionof ground, the following basic rules apply:

• NEVER change gear or de-clutch whilenegotiating difficult terrain; the drag on thewheels may cause the vehicle to stopwhen the clutch is depressed andrestarting may be difficult.

• Generally, and especially where slippery orsoft ground conditions prevail, the higherthe gear you select the better.

• When descending very steep slopes,always select first gear in LOW range.

Inexperienced drivers are advised to stop thevehicle and carefully consider which gear willbe the most appropriate for each manoeuvrebefore continuing.

Off-road driving

196

Slipping the clutchUse of excessive clutch slip to prevent theengine stalling will result in premature clutchwear. Always select a gear low enough toenable the vehicle to proceed without the needto slip the clutch.

DO NOT drive with your foot resting on theclutch pedal; driving across uneven terraincould cause you to inadvertently depress theclutch, resulting in loss of control of thevehicle.

Gear selection - automatic gearboxOn automatic models, with the gearshift leverset at ’D’, the gearbox automatically providesthe correct gear for the appropriate gear rangeselected (HIGH or LOW). Remember thatposition ’1’ will hold the gearbox in first gearto give maximum engine braking whenrequired.

HIGH range gears should be used wheneverpossible; only change to the LOW range whenground conditions become very difficult.Uncontrolled spinning of individual wheels willbe limited by the viscous coupling unit whichis combined with the centre differential.

BrakingAs far as possible, vehicle speed should becontrolled through correct gear selection.

Application of the pedal should be kept to anabsolute minimum. Harsh braking on wet,muddy or loose surfaces could provedangerous.

NOTE: If the correct gear has been selected,braking will be largely unnecessary.

Use of engine for brakingBefore descending steep slopes, stop thevehicle at least its length before the descent,move the gearshift lever to ’N’, engage LOWrange and then select first or second gear (’1’or ’2’ for automatic transmission) dependingon the severity of the incline.

While descending the slope it should beremembered that the engine will providesufficient braking effort to control the rate ofdescent, and that the brakes should not beapplied.

AcceleratingUse the accelerator with care; any suddensurge of power may induce wheel spin andresult in loss of control of the vehicle.

Steering

WARNING

DO NOT hold the steering wheel with yourthumbs inside the rim; a sudden ’kick’ of thewheel as the vehicle negotiates a rut orboulder could seriously injure them.ALWAYS grip the wheel on the outside of therim (as shown) when traversing unevenground.

Off-road driving

197

Survey the ground before drivingBefore negotiating difficult terrain, it is wise tocarry out a preliminary survey on foot. Thiswill minimise the risk of your vehicle gettinginto difficulty through a previously unnoticedhazard.

Ground clearanceFor serious off-road driving ALWAYS removethe bib spoiler extension from the frontbumper (if fitted).

Don’t forget to allow for ground clearancebeneath the chassis, axles and under the frontand rear bumpers. Note that the axledifferentials are situated BELOW the chassisand are positioned slightly to the LEFT of thecentre of the vehicle. Note also that there areother parts of the vehicle which may comeinto contact with the ground; take care not toground the vehicle.

Ground clearance is particularly important atthe bottom of a steep slope, or where wheelruts are unusually deep and where suddenchanges in the slope of the ground areexperienced.

On soft ground, the axle differentials will cleartheir own path in all but the most difficultconditions. However, on frozen, rocky or hardground, if the vehicle’s progress is halted as aresult of grounding of the chassis, this willcause the vehicle to rise automatically to the’Extended profile’ ride height position. (see’Air suspension’ for further details).

Always attempt to avoid obstacles that mayfoul the chassis or differentials.

Loss of tractionIf the vehicle is immobile due to loss of wheelgrip, the following hints could be of value:

• Avoid prolonged wheel spin; this will onlymake matters worse. The electronictraction control (ETC) (if fitted) willprevent wheel spin; drive will be divertedfrom a spinning wheel and the remainingwheel will then provide the tractionnecessary to overcome difficult drivingconditions.

• Remove obstacles rather than forcing thevehicle across them.

• Clear clogged tyre treads.

• Reverse as far as possible, then attemptan increased speed approach; additionalmomentum may overcome the obstacle.

• Brushwood, sacking or any similarmaterial placed in front of the tyres willimprove tyre grip.

Off-road driving

198


After driving off-roadBefore rejoining the public highway, ordriving at speeds above 40 km/h,consideration should be given to thefollowing:

• Wheels and tyres must be cleaned ofmud and inspected for damage -ensure there are no lumps or bulgesin the tyres or exposure of the ply orcord structure.

• Brake discs and calipers should beexamined and any stones or grit thatmay affect braking efficiencyremoved.

Servicing requirementsVehicles operated in arduous conditions,particularly on dusty, muddy or wetterrain, and vehicles undergoing frequentor deep wading conditions will requiremore frequent servicing. See ’Ownermaintenance’ and contact a Land Roverdealer for advice.

In addition:

After wading in salt water or driving onsandy beaches, use a hose to thoroughlywash the underbody components and anyexposed body panels with fresh water.This will help to protect the vehicle’scosmetic appearance.

DRIVING ON SOFT SURFACES & DRY SANDThe ideal technique for driving on soft groundand dry sand requires the vehicle to be keptmoving at all times; soft ground and sandcauses excessive drag on the wheels,resulting in a rapid loss of motion oncedriving momentum is lost. For this reason,gear changing (particularly on manualgearbox vehicles) should be avoided.

Select the highest suitable gear and REMAINin that gear until a firm surface is reached. Itis generally advisable to use LOW rangegears, as these will enable you to acceleratethrough worsening conditions without the riskof being unable to restart.

Off-road driving

199

Stopping the vehicle on soft ground, in sandor on an incline

If you do stop the vehicle, remember:Starting on an incline or in soft ground orsand is almost impossible. Always park on afirm, level area, or with the vehicle facingdownhill.

To avoid wheel spin, select second or thirdgear and use the minimum throttle necessaryto get the vehicle moving. For automatictransmission vehicles, select ’D’ (or ’4’ if inLOW range). In LOW range, select MANUALmode (see ’Transmissions’ for furtherinformation).

If forward motion is lost, avoid excessive useof the throttle; this will cause wheel spin andtend to dig the vehicle into the sand. Clearsand from around the tyres and ensure thatthe chassis and axles are not bearing on thesand before again attempting to move.

If the wheels have sunk, use an air bag liftingdevice or high lift jack to raise the vehicle, andthen build up sand under the wheels so thatthe vehicle is again on level ground. If arestart is not possible, place sand mats orladders beneath the wheels.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES(ice, snow, mud or wet grass)

Select the highest gear possible. On automatictransmission vehicles, select ’D’ (or ’4’ if inLOW range). In LOW range, also selectMANUAL mode. (see ’Transmissions’ forfurther information).

Drive away using the MINIMUM throttlepossible. Drive slowly at all times, keepingbraking to a minimum and avoiding violentmovements of the steering wheel.

Off-road driving

200

DRIVING ON ROUGH TRACKSOn very rough tracks, engage the LOW gearrange to enable a steady, low speed to bemaintained without constant use of the clutchand brake pedals.

CLIMBING STEEP SLOPESALWAYS follow the line of the slope; travellingdiagonally could encourage the vehicle to slidebroadside down the slope.

Steep climbs will usually require the LOW gearrange. If the surface is loose or slippery, usesufficient speed in the highest practical gearto take advantage of the vehicle’s momentum.However, too high a speed over a bumpysurface may result in a wheel lifting, causingthe vehicle to lose traction. In this case try aslower approach. Traction can also beimproved by easing off the accelerator justbefore loss of forward motion.

If the vehicle is unable to complete a climb, donot attempt to turn it around while on theslope. Instead, adopt the following procedureto reverse downhill to the foot of the slope.

1. Hold the vehicle stationary using both footand handbrakes.

2. Restart the engine if necessary.

3. Engage LOW range reverse gear (’R’ forautomatic transmission).

4. Release the handbrake. Then release thefoot brake and clutch (where applicable)simultaneously, and allow the vehicle toreverse down the slope using enginebraking to control the rate of descent.

5. Unless it is necessary to stop the vehiclein order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOTapply the brake or clutch pedal during thedescent.

6. If the vehicle begins to slide, accelerateslightly to allow the tyres to regain grip.

When the vehicle is back on level ground ortraction can be regained, a faster approachwill probably enable the hill to be climbed.However, DO NOT take unnecessary risks, ifthe hill is too difficult to climb, find analternative route.

WARNING

The engine must be restarted beforereversing down the slope as there will be nobraking effect from the gearbox unless theengine is running.

Off-road driving

201

DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES

A. Stop the vehicle at least a vehicle lengthbefore the slope, engage LOW range andthen select the lowest gear.

B. Unless it is necessary to stop the vehiclein order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOTtouch the brake or clutch pedals duringthe descent; the engine will limit thespeed, keeping the vehicle under controlprovided the front wheels are turning. Ifthe vehicle begins to slide, accelerategently to maintain directional stability. DONOT use the brakes or attempt to changegears.

C. Once level ground is reached, select asuitable gear for the next stage of thejourney.

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions maycause the vehicle to roll over.

Off-road driving

202

TRAVERSING A SLOPEBefore crossing a slope always observe thefollowing precautions:

• Check that the ground is firm and notslippery.

• Check that the wheels on the downhill sideof the vehicle are not likely to drop intoany depressions in the ground and that theuphill wheels will not run over rocks, treeroots, or similar obstacles that couldsuddenly increase the angle of tilt.

• Ensure that passenger weight is evenlydistributed, that all roof rack luggage isremoved and that all other luggage isproperly secured and stowed as low aspossible. Always remember; any suddenmovement of the load could cause thevehicle to overturn.

• Rear seat passengers should sit on theuphill side of the vehicle or, in extremeconditions, should vacate the vehicle untilthe sloping ground has been safelynegotiated.

NEGOTIATING A ’V’ SHAPED GULLYObserve extreme caution! Steering up eitherof the gully walls could cause the side of thevehicle to be trapped against the oppositegully wall.

DRIVING IN EXISTING VEHICLE TRACKSAs far as possible, allow the vehicle to steeritself along the bottom of the ruts. However,always keep a tight hold of the steering wheelto prevent it from spinning free.

Particularly in wet conditions, if the steeringwheel is allowed to spin free, the vehicle mayappear to be driving straight ahead in the ruts,but in actual fact (due to the lack of tractioncaused by wet ground) is unknowingly on fullright or left lock. Then, when level ground isreached, or if a dry patch is encountered, thewheels will find traction and cause the vehicleto suddenly veer to the left or right.

Off-road driving

203

CROSSING A RIDGEApproach at right angles so that both frontwheels cross the ridge together; an angledapproach could cause traction to be lostthrough diagonally opposite wheels liftingfrom the ground at the same time.

CROSSING A DITCHCross ditches at an angle so that three wheelsalways maintain contact with the ground (ifapproached head on, both front wheels willdrop into the ditch together, possibly resultingin the chassis and front bumper being trappedon opposite sides of he ditch).

WADING

WARNING

The maximum advisable wading depth is 20in. (0,5 metre).

Severe electrical damage may occur if thevehicle remains stationary for any length oftime when the water level is above the doorsills.

Before wading, ensure the electronic airsuspension is set in either ’Standard’ or ’High’ride height.

If the water is likely to exceed 0.5 metre whilethe vehicle is moving, the followingprecautions MUST be observed:

• Fix a plastic sheet in front of the radiatorgrille to prevent water from soaking theengine and mud from blocking theradiator.

• Ensure that the silt bed below the water isfirm enough to support the vehicle’sweight and provide sufficient traction.

• Select ’High’ ride height.

• Ensure that the engine air intake is abovethe water level.

• Select a low gear and maintain sufficientthrottle to prevent the engine from stalling.This is particularly important if the exhaustpipe is under water.

• Drive slowly into the water and accelerateto a speed which causes a bow wave toform; then maintain that speed.

At all times, keep all the doors fully closed.

Off-road driving

204

After wadingDrive the vehicle a short distance and applythe footbrake to check that the brakes are fullyeffective.

DO NOT rely on the handbrake alone to holdthe vehicle stationary until the transmissionhas thoroughly dried out; in the meantime,use wheel chocks or leave the vehicle parkedin gear.

Remove any protective covering from in frontof the radiator grille.

If the water was particularly muddy, removeany blockages (mud and leaves) from theradiator and oil cooler (behind spoiler on lefthand side) to reduce the risk of overheating.

If deep water is regularly negotiated, check thetransmission oils for signs of watercontamination; contaminated oil can beidentified through its ’milky’ appearance. Inaddition, check the air filter element for wateringress, and replace if wet.

Vehicles required to undergo frequent or deepwading conditions will require more frequentservicing. See ’Owner maintenance’ andcontact a Land Rover dealer for advice.

If salt water is frequently negotiated,thoroughly wash the underbody componentsand exposed body panels, with fresh water.

BIB SPOILER (if fitted)The vehicle has a bib spoiler extension fittedto the front bumper to improve air flow duringnormal driving conditions. This MUST beremoved when considering serious off-roaddriving.

The bib spoiler is in two parts and is attachedto the underside of the front bumper by sixspring clips and eight plastic rivets.

To remove:Using a screwdriver, remove the inner lockingpins from the studs, then remove the studs.

Slide the spring clips off the bib spoiler, thenseparate the two halves of the spoiler.

Store all parts in a suitable container pendingrefitment.

To refit:Place one half of the bib spoiler against theunderside of the front bumper, install fourstuds and fit the locking pins and three springclips.

Engage the other half of the bib spoiler withthe first half, then fit the remaining studs andspring clips, ensuring that the locking pins arefitted to the studs.

SNOW CHAINSSnow chains are NOT recommended foroff-road use. For further information see’Tyres’.
