Owner’s Handbook

This handbook covers current Land Rover Defender models and, together with the Service Portfolio book, provides all the information you need to derive maximum pleasure from owning and driving your new vehicle.

For your convenience, the handbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the vehicle. These are listed on the title page and you will find it worthwhile to take a little time to read each one, and get to know your Defender as soon as you possibly can. The more you understand before you drive, the greater the satisfaction once you are seated behind the steering wheel.

IMPORTANT

The specification of each vehicle will vary according to territorial requirements and also from model to model within the vehicle range. Some of the information published in this handbook, therefore, may not apply to your particular vehicle.

Land Rover operates a policy of constant product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without notice at any time. Whilst every effort is made to ensure complete accuracy of the information in this handbook, no liabilities for inaccuracies or the consequences thereof can be accepted by the manufacturer or the dealer, except in respect of personal injury caused by the negligence of the manufacturer or the dealer.

Introduction

BEFORE YOU DRIVE

WARNING

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance and, hence, a higher centre of gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This will result in different handling characteristics. Inexperienced drivers should take additional care, particularly in off-road driving situations and when performing abrupt manoeuvres on unstable surfaces.

SYMBOLS USED

The following symbols used within the handbook call your attention to specific types of information.

This recycling symbol identifies those

items that must be disposed of safely in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the environment.

*An asterisk appearing within the text,

identifies features or items of equipment that are either optional, or are only fitted to some vehicles in the model range.

WARNINGS IN THIS HANDBOOK

WARNING

Safety warnings are included in this handbook. These indicate either a procedure which must be followed precisely, or information that should be considered with great care in order to avoid the possibility of personal injury or serious damage to the vehicle.

SECURITY CARD

The security card, supplied with the literature pack, contains important emergency information. It is ESSENTIAL that you keep the card safe from theft and ensure that it is passed to the new owner if you sell the vehicle.

• Key number: This is the number of the

starter/door key - essential if you ever need to obtain a replacement.

• Emergency key access code: You will need

this code in order to start the vehicle if the handset has been lost or damaged (see ‘Emergency key access’, page 15).

• Locking wheel nut number: If your vehicle

has locking wheel nuts, you will have been provided with a special wheel nut socket to remove them. You will need to quote this number to obtain a replacement socket.

• VIN (vehicle identification number): This

identity number is unique to your vehicle and is essential proof of its specification. The number can also be found in various locations around the vehicle (see ‘VEHICLE

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)’, page 123).

• Radio security code number

code must be entered into the radio whenever the power supply has been disconnected. Without this code, the radio unit will not operate (see 'Security code' in the 'In-Car Entertainment' book).

*: This unique

WARNING

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

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

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:

• Wherever possible, consistent with

road safety and traffic conditions, the vehicle should be moved off the main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If a breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to the inside of the hard shoulder.

• Switch on hazard lights.

• If possible, position a warning triangle

or a flashing amber light at an appropriate distance from the vehicle to warn other traffic of the breakdown, (note the legal requirements of some countries).

• Evacuate passengers through nearside

doors onto the verge, well away from the road, as a precaution in case your vehicle is accidentally struck by other traffic.

KEYS AND HANDSETS

You have been supplied with two remote handsets and two sets of keys, comprising:

• A black key for operating the starter switch

and door locks.

• A smaller metal key to operate the fuel filler

cap lock.

The starter key number is stamped on a tag attached to the key ring. Check that the key number has been entered in the space provided on your Security card.

If the remote handset is lost, contact a Land Rover dealer, who can supply a replacement unit.

WARNING

Keep the Security card and spare handset and keys in a safe place - NOT IN THE VEHICLE!

ALARM SYSTEM*

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. In order to ensure maximum security and operating convenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the alarm system, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.

Using the remote handset

H3619

While it is not necessary to point the handset at the vehicle, the handset must be within range of the vehicle when a button is pressed. Note that the operating range may vary depending upon handset battery condition and may sometimes be limited by physical and geographical factors beyond your control. From a security point of view, it may not be wise to unlock unless you are within a few feet of the vehicle.

Vehicles with central door locking

Locking with the remote handset: Press the lock (padlock symbol) button once:

• all doors are locked (including the tail door)

• engine immobilised

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors and bonnet)

• interior space protection activated The direction indicator lights flash three times

to confirm that the vehicle is secure and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) starts to flash.

Page 13

Locks & Alarm

Locking with the key:

Insert the key and turn the driver’s door lock towards the rear of the vehicle:

• all doors locked (including the tail door)

• engine immobilised

• NO PERIMETRIC ALARM OR INTERIOR

SPACE PROTECTION

The anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) starts to flash after 30 seconds to show that the engine is immobilised.

Unlocking with the remote handset:

Press the unlock (PLAIN) button once to disarm the alarm and unlock the doors.

The direction indicator lights flash once and the interior lights illuminate.

Unlocking with the key:

While all the doors can be unlocked using the key in the driver’s door lock, this method is NOT RECOMMENDED - depending on the specification of the vehicle the alarm may not be disarmed.

Vehicles without central door locking

Locking & unlocking: Each door lock must be operated individually, using the key. The handset will NOT operate the door locks. Turn the key towards the rear of the vehicle to lock and towards the front to unlock.

Arming & disarming the alarm: Press the lock button on the handset to arm the alarm.

• Perimetric protection protects the doors

and bonnet.

• Interior space protection is activated.

• Engine is immobilised.

Provided the doors and bonnet are securely closed, the direction indicators will flash three times and the anti-theft alarm indicator in the instrument panel will start to flash.

To disarm the alarm, press the unlock (PLAIN) button on the handset; the direction indicators will flash once and the interior lights illuminate.

Door sill locking buttons

From inside the vehicle, each door can be individually locked by depressing the appropriate sill locking button.

H3664

WARNING

DO NOT depress the sill buttons as a means of locking the doors from outside the vehicle (this practice - known as ‘slam locking’ - is NOT recommended, because keys can be locked inside accidentally).

On vehicles with central door locking, operation of the driver’s door sill locking button locks all the other doors too. However, engine immobilisation and interior space protection are suspended unless the handset lock button is pressed as well.

Page 14

Locks & Alarm

NOTE: Slam locking, as described above, is prohibited on vehicles with central door locking.

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

H3662

The indicator light in the speedometer (arrowed in illustration) provides information about the status of the alarm system, as follows:

When the alarm is armed: The light flashes rapidly while the alarm is arming itself. After ten seconds, the light adjusts to a slower frequency and continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.

If the engine is immobilised (even though the alarm has been disarmed):

The light flashes slowly until the engine is remobilised.

If the alarm has been triggered: The light will flash rapidly when the alarm is disarmed until the starter switch is turned to position II.

Mislock

If a door is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the hazard warning lights will fail to flash, indicating a mislock. In this case, the alarm system will not be fully armed and on vehicles with central door locking, none of the doors will lock.

As soon as the open aperture is closed, the hazard warning lights will flash and the anti-theft alarm indicator light will resume flashing to confirm that the system has returned to a fully armed state.

NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open door, interior space protection will not be activated.

NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open bonnet, the door apertures will still be protected by the alarm system and interior space protection will be active.

If the alarm sounds

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound for 30 seconds before switching off and resetting itself to the same protection status that existed prior to the alarm being triggered. The alarm can be triggered up to three times before needing to be reset.

To silence the alarm, press either button on the remote handset.

NOTE: While the alarm is sounding, the hazard warning lights will flash to provide a visual alarm.

If the remote handset battery power is low: The light will flash rapidly during the initial ten seconds after the handset has been used, while the alarm system is arming.

If the driver’s door is open: The light illuminates for ten seconds, before adjusting to slow frequency flashing.

Page 15

Locks & Alarm

INTERIOR SPACE PROTECTION

Interior space protection is designed to protect the interior of the vehicle from intrusion (entry by a thief through a smashed window, for example). Twin sensors monitor the interior space and activate the alarm if air movement is detected in the passenger compartment.

Using the handset: Interior space protection is activated automatically whenever the remote handset is used to set the alarm and can ONLY be deactivated with the handset.

Key operation: On vehicles fitted with central door locking, using the key to arm the alarm will NOT activate (or deactivate) interior space protection.

NOTE: Interior space protection cannot be activated if a door is open, or if the starter switch is turned on.

Vehicles without central door locking

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

To disable interior space protection when setting the alarm, use the following procedure:

1. Open the driver’s door.

2. With the driver’s door open, use the

handset to arm the alarm in the normal way.

3. Close the driver’s door (the hazard

warning lights flash three times and the anti-theft indicator light commences flashing rapidly).

The alarm system is now armed with interior protection disabled.

NOTE: Interior protection will not operate for the first 15 seconds after the alarm is set.

WARNING

Never activate interior space protection if windows or sunroof are to be left open, or if passengers or animals are to be left inside the vehicle - any movement will activate the alarm.

Page 16

Locks & Alarm

ENGINE IMMOBILISATION

Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the security system, and includes a feature known as ‘passive immobilisation’. This is designed to safeguard the vehicle from theft, should the driver forget to lock the doors or arm the alarm. Engine immobilisation is automatic whenever any of the following conditions occur:

• The vehicle is locked using handset or key.

• Thirty seconds after the starter switch has

been turned off AND the driver's door opened.

• Five minutes after the starter switch is

turned off, or the alarm system is disarmed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The engine immobilisation system relies on the handset to re-mobilise the engine. Look after the handsets at all times, protecting them from loss, damage and battery discharge. If the engine has immobilised passively, re-mobilisation will occur when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’, provided the handset is on the same ring as the key and in close proximity to the switch.

• ALWAYS keep the handset on the same

ring as the key.

• NEVER attach both handsets to the

SAME key ring.

Any attempt to start the engine while it is immobilised, will cause the engine immobilisation warning light (in the speedometer) to flash.

Emergency key access

If the handset is damaged, or fails to operate, the engine can be re-mobilised by using the starter key to enter a unique four number emergency key access code. The code is recorded on the Security card and is entered as follows:

If your handset is lost or inoperative, it is impossible to disarm the alarm. As soon as the door is opened, the alarm will sound (continuously for up to three 30 second periods), and continue while the code is being entered.

H3615

1. Remove the handset from the key ring and

keep the handset well away from the starter switch when entering the code.

2. From inside the vehicle, with the driver’s

door closed, immediately insert the key into the starter switch and turn to position ‘II’. Hold this position until the alarm sounds, then switch off and open and close the driver’s door.

3. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ the

required number of times to enter the first digit of the code (if the first digit is 4, turn the key to position ‘II’ and then back to ‘0’ four times).

4. Open and close the driver’s door (this will

enter the first digit of the code).

Page 17

Locks & Alarm

5. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and

back to ‘0’ the required number of times to enter the SECOND digit of the code.

6. Open and close the driver’s door again.

7. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and

back to ‘0’ the required number of times to enter the THIRD digit of the code.

8. Open and close the driver’s door again.

9. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and

back to ‘0’ the required number of times to enter the FOURTH digit of the code.

10. Finally, open and close the driver’s door

one more time.

If the code has been entered correctly, the anti-theft indicator light will extinguish, the alarm will stop sounding and the engine can be started.

If an incorrect code has been entered:

If the code is entered incorrectly, the alarm sounder will sound twice, the anti-theft indicator light will continue to illuminate, and the engine will fail to start. Before entering the code again, turn the starter switch to position ‘II’ and hold in this position for 5 seconds.

After three failed entry attempts, the security system invokes a delay period of thirty minutes during which the system will not accept any further attempts to enter a code.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Memorise the emergency key access code or keep the Security card on your person in case of emergencies. NEVER leave the card in the vehicle.

The battery should last for approximately three years dependent upon use. When the battery needs replacing it will be apparent from the following symptoms:

• The handset will only work every other

operation while disarming.

• The hazard warning lights will not flash

when the alarm is disarmed.

Always fit a Land Rover STC 4080 or a Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery (available from a Land Rover dealer).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• DO NOT remove a battery until you are

ready to install the replacement.

• The engine will immobilise five minutes

after the key is removed from the starter switch (or 30 seconds after the starter has been switched off and the driver’s door opened). If handset battery replacement is NOT completed within this period, the emergency key access code will have to be entered before the handset can be synchronised.

WARNING

The handset contains delicate electronic circuits and must be protected from impact and water damage, high temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight and the effects of solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.

Seat Belts

SEAT BELT SAFETY

The seat belts fitted to the front and second row seats are intended for use by adult sized occupants. Each belt should be used by one occupant only.

Observe the following precautions:

• DO make sure ALL passengers are securely

strapped in at all times - even for the shortest journeys.

• ALWAYS adjust seat belts to eliminate any

slack in the webbing. DO NOT slacken the webbing by holding the belt away from the body - to be fully effective, the seat belt must remain in full contact with the body at all times.

• ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on the hips

as possible (never across the abdomen), and ensure that the diagonal belt passes across the shoulder without slipping off or pressing on the neck.

• DO NOT wear seat belts over hard, sharp or

fragile items in clothing, such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.

• Always replace a seat belt assembly that has

withstood the strain of a severe vehicle impact, or if the webbing shows signs of fraying.

• Where possible use the seat belts to secure

large items of luggage that are to be carried on the seats - in the event of an accident, insecure items become flying missiles capable of causing serious injury.

• DO NOT use a seat belt that is twisted or

obstructed in any way that could impede its smooth operation.

• DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travel

with the seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the seat back angle set to approximately 25 degrees from the upright (vertical) position.

• DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularly

sugary food and drink particles) to enter the seat belt locks - such substances can render the locks inoperative.

• In most countries, all occupants are

required by law to wear a seat belt, unless they have been issued with a medical exemption certificate.

• During pregnancy, women should wear the

lap belt across the hips below the baby, with the diagonal belt passing across the shoulder, between the breasts and to one side of the baby - if in doubt, consult a doctor.

WARNING

Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly an improperly worn seat belt increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

Page 29

Seat Belts

SEAT BELTS

To minimise injury in the event of an accident, it is important that seat belts are worn correctly. Read the instructions below and the advice contained under the heading ‘SEAT BELT SAFETY’.

Fastening the inertia reel seat belts

H3715

Pull the belt over the shoulder and across the chest and, ensuring that the webbing is not twisted, insert the metal tongue plate into the buckle nearest the wearer - a ‘CLICK’ indicates that the belt is securely locked.

Releasing the belt

Press the RED button on the seat belt buckle.

Lap belts

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body (pelvis, chest and shoulders) and can only be worn safely with the seats in a normal upright position - DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travel with the seat steeply reclined.

NOTE: In some circumstances, perhaps due to the vehicle being on a slope, the automatic locking mechanism may engage, preventing the initial extension of the belt. This is not a fault ease the belt free and use it.

H3716

To adjust, pull the slider along the belt and feed the webbing through the buckle until the belt is comfortably tight. Then, insert the metal tongue plate into the buckle nearest the wearer - a ‘CLICK’ indicates that the belt is securely locked. When not in use, the lap belts should be fastened.

Page 30

Seat Belts

CARING FOR SEAT BELTS

Regularly inspect the belt webbing for signs of fraying, cuts and wear; also pay particular attention to the condition of the fixing points and adjusters.

DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing and avoid contaminating the webbing with polish, oil or chemicals (see ‘CLEANING THE INTERIOR’, page 122).

Testing inertia reel belts

• With the seat belt fastened, give the

webbing near the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle must remain securely locked.

• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the

webbing to the limit of its travel. Check that unreeling is free from snatches and snags and then allow the belt to FULLY retract.

• Partially unreel the webbing, then hold the

tongue plate and give it a quick forward pull. The mechanism must lock automatically and prevent any further unreeling.

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

WARNING

Always replace a seat belt that shows signs of webbing damage or has withstood the strain of a severe vehicle impact.

Child Restraints

CHILD SAFETY SEATS

Seat 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 below). 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 exactly.

The location and specification of the warning lights may vary according to model and market requirements.

WARNING

DO NOT drive if a RED warning light remains on once the engine is running or illuminates whilst driving.

Check engine - AMBER

The light illuminates as a bulb and system check when the starter

switch is turned on, and extinguishes as soon as the engine is started. Illumination at any other time indicates an engine fault - if the light illuminates while driving, avoid high speeds and seek qualified assistance urgently.

Glow plug - AMBER

Illuminates when the starter switch

is turned to position ‘II’. Wait for

the light to extinguish before starting the engine.

Low oil pressure - RED

The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is

turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes when the engine is started. If the light remains on, flashes on and off, or illuminates whilst driving, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. Seek qualified assistance before driving. Always check the oil level when this light illuminates.

Direction indicators - GREEN

The left or right warning light

flashes in time with the

corresponding left or right direction indicator lights whenever they are operated. If the warning light fails to flash, or flashes very rapidly, this may indicate a bulb failure in one of the direction indicator lights.

If the hazard switch is pressed, both warning lights will flash in conjunction with the direction indicator lights.

Battery charging - RED

The light illuminates as a bulb

check when the starter switch

is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes once the engine is running. If it remains on, or illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated. Seek qualified assistance urgently.

Page 35

Warning Lights

Headlight main beam - BLUE

Illuminates when the headlights are switched to main beam.

Low fuel - AMBER

Illuminates when the fuel remaining in the tank drops to a

minimum of 2 gallons (9 litres). If the light illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity.

Handbrake, brake fluid - RED

The light illuminates for about 3

seconds as a bulb check when the

starter switch is turned on. It also illuminates when the handbrake is applied with the starter switch in position ‘II’. The light should extinguish when the handbrake is fully released or shortly after the electrical circuits are switched on. If the light illuminates whilst driving, a fault with the braking system is indicated. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing.

Anti-lock braking system - AMBER

Illuminates for approximately 1

second as a bulb and system check

when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’, and briefly extinguishes before coming on again. If the light does not extinguish and then come on again, then a fault occurred with the ABS system and you should consult a qualified dealer at the earliest opportunity. The warning light will remain on until the vehicle is driven above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h).

If the light remains on or subsequently illuminates while driving, a fault has been detected by the self monitoring system. This means that full ABS control may not be available and you should consult your dealer at the earliest opportunity.

Traction Control - AMBER

Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to

position ‘II’ and extinguishes after approximately 3 seconds. The light illuminates for a minimum of 2 seconds, whenever traction control is operating.

If the warning light flashes (for at least 10 seconds) traction control has been operating for too long and has temporarily shut down to allow the system to cool - this will only occur in extreme conditions.

If the light illuminates continuously, a fault with the system is indicated; seek qualified assistance.

Rear fog guard lights - AMBER

Illuminates whenever the rear fog

guard lights are on.

NOTE: In clear conditions, rear fog guard lights can dazzle other road users. Use ONLY when visibility is severely restricted.

Engine immobilisation - RED

Flashes during any attempt to start

the engine when the engine is

immobilised.

Heated rear screen - AMBER

Illuminates when the rear screen

heater is operating.

Differential lock - RED

Illuminates whenever the

differential is locked. If the light

remains on after the differential lock is disengaged, transmission ‘wind-up’ may be present. Reversing for a short distance and then going forward will usually ‘unwind’ the transmission. If the light remains on, contact your dealer as soon as possible.

Page 36

Warning Lights

Hazard warning lights - RED

Illuminates in conjunction with the direction indicator warning lights, when the hazard warning lights are

operated.

Trailer direction indicators - GREEN

The light illuminates briefly as a bulb check when the starter switch

is turned to position ‘II’. If a trailer is attached, the light illuminates in conjunction with the vehicle direction indicator lights to show that all trailer indicator lights are functioning correctly. In the event of a bulb failure on the trailer, the warning light flashes once and then remains off.

Sidelights - GREEN

Illuminates whenever the sidelights

are on.

Transmission oil temperature - RED

Illuminates as a bulb check when

the starter switch is turned to

position ‘II’ and extinguishes after 3 seconds approx. If the light illuminates while driving, the gearbox oil temperature is too high (most likely to occur in very hot weather during continuous high speed driving, or whilst towing heavy loads on steep inclines or if the handbrake has been applied while driving).

If the light illuminates, reduce speed. If the light remains on, stop the vehicle and allow the gearbox to cool. Do not drive until the light has extinguished. (Depending on the ambient temperature and the carrying loads imposed on the vehicle, it may take several minutes before the light extinguishes and it is safe to drive).

Fuel filter - AMBER

NOTE: The air conditioning will only operate with the engine running.

2. Temperature control

Rotate clockwise (positions I to III) to obtain progressively cooler air.

Air conditioning vents

H3756

The four air conditioning vents located in the lower fascia can be adjusted to suit your requirements. The adjuster in the centre of each vent can be used to adjust volume and direction of air. To cut off the supply of air from any particular vent, slide the adjuster fully to the left.

General operating notes

• For optimum operating efficiency, ensure all

the air conditioning vents are open.

• In very humid conditions, slight screen

misting may be experienced when the air conditioning system is turned on. This is a natural occurrence on most automotive air conditioning systems. It is not a fault and misting will clear after a few seconds once the air conditioning system is operating.

• If the temperature inside the vehicle is

higher than that outside when you start the engine, it will take time for the air conditioning to become fully effective. It is best to ventilate the vehicle by opening the windows and setting the controls to ‘Maximum cooling’. When the vehicle has been ventilated, close the windows and set the blower controls for personal comfort.

• Operating the air conditioning takes power

from the engine and consequently increases fuel consumption.

Page 50

Air Conditioning

• All air conditioning systems need to be

operated for a short while every week (even in winter) to maintain them in peak condition.

• Surplus water produced by the

dehumidifying process is expelled from the system via drain tubes beneath the vehicle. This may result in a small pool of water forming on the road when the vehicle is stationary and is not a cause for concern.

USING THE AIR CONDITIONING

Air conditioning provides additional cooling to the vehicle interior and also reduces the moisture content of the air.

It is important to keep windows, sunroof fresh air vents closed during operation.

IN-CAR TELEPHONES

WARNING

Refrain from operating a telephone fitted with its own aerial inside the vehicle (see main text).

Your vehicle utilises a number of electronic systems. These systems may be affected by the use of mobile communication equipment inside the vehicle. However, the use of an external aerial will greatly reduce the likelihood of this occurrence.

For your safety, always note the following precautions before fitting or using an in-car telephone, or any mobile communication equipment.

• Only use an installation kit incorporating an

aerial external to the vehicle.

• Ensure that the installation is carried out by

a competent installer.

• Refrain from operating a mobile phone fitted

with its own aerial inside the vehicle - the electromagnetic field radiated by the phone may interfere with the vehicle's electrical systems.

For your safety

WARNING

Using any hand-held appliance while driving can be dangerous. Always stop the vehicle before making a call and ensure the telephone is switched off while you are driving.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

H3584

To unlock the steering column

Insert the key FULLY and turn the starter switch to position ‘I’. A small movement of the steering wheel may be necessary to disengage the steering lock while turning the switch.

To lock the steering column

Turn the key to position ‘0’ and withdraw it from the starter switch. Turn the steering wheel slightly until the lock engages.

WARNING

Once the steering lock is engaged, it is impossible to steer the vehicle. DO NOT remove the key or turn the starter switch to position ‘0’ while the vehicle is in motion.

STARTER SWITCH

The starter switch is located to the left of the steering column, and uses the following sequence of key positions to operate the steering lock, electrical circuits and starter motor:

Position ‘0’

• Steering locked (if key is removed).

• Most lighting circuits are operational,

including: sidelights, headlights, hazard warning and rear fog guard lights.

Position ‘I’

• Steering unlocked.

• Radio/cassette player can be operated.

Position ‘II’

• All instruments, warning lights and

electrical circuits are operational.

Position ‘III’

• Starter motor operates.

Release the key immediately the engine starts (the key will automatically return to position ‘II’). Note that operation of position ‘I’ electrical functions will be interrupted during engine cranking.

Page 61

Starting & Driving

STARTING - Diesel engines

WARNING

Never start or leave the engine running in an unventilated building - exhaust gases are poisonous and contain carbon monoxide, which can cause unconsciousness and may even be fatal.

1. Check that the handbrake is applied and

that the gear lever is in neutral.

2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical

equipment.

3. Insert the starter key and turn the switch

to position ‘II’. Wait until the glow plug warning light extinguishes.

NOTE: The waiting time will vary according to the engine coolant temperature (when the engine is hot, the glow plug warning light will extinguish almost immediately).

4. Turn the key to position ‘III’ to operate the

starter motor. DO NOT press the accelerator pedal while starting. RELEASE THE KEY as soon as the engine is running.

If the engine stalls or fails to start, you MUST return the starter switch to position ‘I’ before attempting to restart; the engine will not start by turning the starter switch from position ‘II’.

In cold weather, or when the battery is in a low state of charge, depress the clutch pedal while starting and hold it down until the engine is running. This will reduce the load on the battery.

Precautions

• The diesel engine must not be run above

idle speed until the oil pressure warning light extinguishes. This will ensure that the engine and turbo-charger bearings are properly lubricated before being run at speed.

• Similarly, ALWAYS allow the engine to

idle for 10 seconds before switching off.

Cold climates

In very cold climates the oil pressure warning light may take several seconds to extinguish. Similarly, engine cranking times will also increase; at -22°F (-30°C) the starter motor may need to be operated continuously for as long as 30 seconds before the engine will start. For this reason, ensure that all non-essential electrical equipment is switched off.

In temperate climates DO NOT operate the starter for longer than 10 seconds. If the engine fails to start, switch off and wait 10 seconds before re-using the starter.

NOTE: Continued use of the starter will not only discharge the battery, but may cause damage to the starter motor.

NOTE: In temperate climates, the battery charging and oil pressure warning lights should extinguish as soon as the engine is running.

Page 62

Starting & Driving

DRIVING

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Vehicle stability

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance and, hence, a higher centre of gravity than ordinary passenger cars to enable the vehicle to perform in a wide variety of different off-road applications. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing the driver to more easily anticipate problems. Inexperienced drivers should take additional care, remembering that the vehicle is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional passenger cars, any more than a low slung sports car is designed to perform satisfactorily in off-road conditions. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or even rollover.

Vehicle height

The overall height of your vehicle exceeds that of ordinary passenger cars. Always be aware of the height of your vehicle and check the available headroom before driving through low entrances. This is particularly important if the vehicle is fitted with a roof rack or if a sunroof is open.

Warming-up

DO NOT warm-up the engine by allowing it to idle at a slow speed.

In the interests of fuel economy, it is advisable to drive the vehicle straight away, remembering that harsh acceleration and labouring the engine before the normal operating temperature has been reached can damage the engine.

Running-in

Proper running-in will have a direct bearing on the reliability and smooth running of your vehicle throughout its life.

In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and tyres need time to ‘bed-in’ and adjust to the demands of everyday motoring. During the first 500 miles (800 km), it is essential to drive with consideration for the running-in process and heed the following advice:

• LIMIT maximum road speed to 50 mph

(80 km/h). Initially, drive the vehicle on a light throttle and only increase engine speeds gradually once the running-in distance has been completed.

• DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the

engine to labour in any gear.

• AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking

except in emergencies.

Instruments and warning lights

Before driving it is important to fully understand the function of the instruments and warning lights (see ‘INSTRUMENT PANEL’, page 32).

NOTE: Red warning lights are of particular importance, illumination indicating that a fault exists. If a red light illuminates, always stop the vehicle and seek qualified assistance before continuing.

Page 63

Starting & Driving

Power assisted steering

Power assistance is progressively applied the more the steering wheel is turned. For example; where manual steering effort would normally be greatest (at slow speeds on maximum lock), power assistance is greatest. Similarly, where only minimal steering effort would normally be required (at high speed with the wheels straight ahead), then power assistance is also minimal, thus enabling the driver to benefit from apparently consistent steering effort at all times.

WARNING

Under no circumstances must the steering wheel be held on full lock for more than thirty seconds in one minute, otherwise the steering assembly may be damaged.

NOTE: Power assistance is dependent on the

engine running. If the engine is not running, greater effort will be required to steer the vehicle.

FUEL ECONOMY

Fuel consumption is influenced by two major factors:

• How your vehicle is maintained.

• How you drive your vehicle.

To obtain optimum fuel economy, it is essential that your vehicle is maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule.

Items such as the condition of the air cleaner element, tyre pressures and wheel alignment will have a significant effect on fuel consumption. But, above all, the way in which you drive is most important. The following hints may help you to obtain better value from your motoring:

• Avoid unnecessary, short, start-stop

journeys.

• Avoid fast starts by accelerating gently and

smoothly from rest.

• Do not drive in the lower gears for longer

than necessary.

• Decelerate gently and avoid sudden and

heavy braking.

• Anticipate obstructions and adjust your

speed accordingly well in advance.

• When stationary in traffic, select neutral to

improve fuel economy and air conditioning performance.

Page 64

Starting & Driving

AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

WARNING

DO NOT use auxiliary equipment, such as roller generators, that are driven by one wheel of the vehicle, as they could cause failure of the gearbox differential. If the differential lock is engaged in an attempt to avoid damage, the vehicle will drive itself forward.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

WARNING

Exhaust fumes contain poisonous substances which can cause unconsciousness and may even be fatal.

•

DO NOT inhale exhaust gases.

•

DO NOT start or leave the engine running in an enclosed unventilated area, or drive with the taildoor open.

•

DO NOT modify the exhaust system from the original design.

•

ALWAYS repair exhaust system leaks immediately.

• If you think exhaust fumes are entering the

vehicle have the cause determined and corrected immediately.

Land Rover vehicles are fitted with emission and evaporative control equipment necessary to meet a number of territorial requirements.

In many countries it is against the law for vehicle owners to modify or tamper with emission control equipment, or to sanction the unauthorised replacement or modification of this equipment. In such cases the vehicle owner and the repairer may both be liable for legal penalties.

It is important to remember that all Land Rover dealers are properly equipped to perform repairs and to maintain the emission control system on your vehicle.

Page 65

Catalytic Converter

CATALYTIC CONVERTER*

The exhaust system on some vehicles incorporates a catalytic converter, which converts poisonous exhaust emissions from the engine into environmentally less harmful gases.

WARNING

Catalytic converters can be easily damaged through improper use, particularly if the wrong fuel is used, or if an engine misfire occurs. For this reason it is VERY IMPORTANT that you heed the precautions which follow.

Fuel

ONLY use fuel recommended for your vehicle (see ‘TYPE OF FUEL’, page 66).

Starting the engine

• DO NOT continue to operate the starter after

a few failed attempts (unburnt fuel may be drawn into the exhaust system, thereby poisoning the catalyst), and do not attempt to clear a misfire by pressing the accelerator pedal - seek qualified assistance.

• When starting a COLD engine, DO NOT drive

if a misfire is suspected and do not attempt to clear a misfire by pressing the accelerator

- seek qualified assistance.

• Do not attempt to push or tow-start the

vehicle.

Driving

• If a misfire is suspected, or the vehicle lacks

power while driving, provided the engine has reached its normal operating temperature, it may be driven SLOWLY (at risk of catalyst damage) to a Land Rover dealer for assistance.

• NEVER allow the vehicle to run out of fuel

(the resultant misfire could damage the catalyst).

• Consult your dealer if your vehicle is

burning excessive oil (blue smoke from the exhaust), as this will progressively reduce catalyst efficiency.

• On rough terrain do not allow the underside

of the vehicle to be subjected to heavy impacts which could damage the catalytic converter.

• DO NOT overload or excessively ‘rev’ the

engine.

• DO NOT switch off the engine when the

vehicle is in motion with a drive gear selected.

WARNING

Exhaust system temperatures can be extremely high - DO NOT park on ground where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves could come into contact with the exhaust system - in dry weather a fire could result.

Vehicle maintenance

Any engine misfire, loss of engine performance or engine run-on, could seriously damage the catalytic converter. For this reason, it is vital that unqualified persons do not tamper with the engine, and that regular systematic maintenance is carried out by a Land Rover dealer.

Fuel Filling

SAFETY ON THE FORECOURT

WARNING

Petroleum gases are highly inflammable and, in confined spaces, are also extremely explosive.

Always take sensible precautions when refuelling:

• Switch off the engine.

• Do not smoke or use a naked flame or light,

or operate a mobile phone.

• Take care not to spill fuel.

• Do not overfill the tank.

FUEL FILLER

WARNING

DO NOT fully remove the filler cap until any captive tank pressure has been released (wait until the hissing stops).

H3637

The fuel filler is located in the rear right-hand body side. To unlock the fuel cap:

1. Insert the smaller metal key and turn it 90

degrees clockwise.

2. Turn the key 90 degrees anti-clockwise

and then remove.

The cap should then be unscrewed gradually, as it is designed to allow the fuel tank to vent during the first half turn. Carefully loosen the cap one half turn until resistance is felt, and allow fuel tank pressure to be released. Once the pressure is released (hissing has stopped), it is safe to fully remove the filler cap.

Page 67

Fuel Filling

H3638

When replacing, ensure that the key is removed from the lock, then tighten the cap clockwise until you hear the fuel cap ratchet click at least three times. This locks the cap (the key is not needed). Finally, reposition the key cover over the lock.

TYPE OF FUEL

Use diesel or automotive gas oil (AGO) to EN 590.

The quality of diesel fuel (Derv) can vary in different countries and only clean, good quality fuel should be used. It is important that the sulphur content of diesel fuel does not exceed

0.3%; in Europe all supplies should be within this limit, but in other parts of the world, you should check with your supplier.

Ensure the fuel filter element is changed and the fuel sedimenter drained, at the recommended service intervals.

If good quality diesel fuel is unavailable and it is necessary to use poor quality fuel, it may be necessary to have the fuel filter/sedimenter drained regularly.

NOTE: The use of paraffin (kerosene) as a diesel fuel additive is illegal in the UK.

WARNING

If the fuel tank is accidentally filled with petrol it is ESSENTIAL that you contact your dealer BEFORE attempting to start the engine!

Page 68

Fuel Filling

FUEL FILLING

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to fill the tank to its maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to be parked on a slope, in direct sunlight, or high ambient temperature, expansion of the fuel could cause spillage.

Filling station pumps are equipped with automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel spillage. Fill the tank SLOWLY until the filler nozzle automatically cuts-off the supply. DO NOT attempt to fill the tank beyond this point or spillage could result due to expansion of the fuel.

The diesel pumps on garage forecourts fill at a maximum of 45 litres (10 gallons) per minute. Use of commercial vehicle diesel pumps with a higher fill rate, may result in premature pump cut-off and fuel spillage.

EMPTY FUEL TANK

Td5 diesel engine vehicles

After running the fuel tank dry, refuel the tank with at least 1 gallon (4.5 litres) of diesel fuel, then carry out the following procedure:

1. Turn off the starter switch and wait for 15

seconds.

2. Turn the starter key to position ‘II’ and wait

for 30 seconds.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 six times.

4. After the final 30 second period, fully

depress the accelerator pedal.

5. Keeping the pedal depressed, start

cranking the engine.

6. Continue cranking the engine and as soon

as the engine is firing smoothly, ease the accelerator pedal back to approximately halfway through its travel, and release the starter key. The engine should now be running.

7. If the engine fails to start, repeat the

process.

During the above procedure, the fuel pump will be heard to operate (priming the engine). This noise is not cause for concern.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The engine must NOT be cranked for more than 20 seconds in any one period. If the above procedure is carried out on a vehicle that has NOT run out of fuel, it will result in the engine flooding with fuel and failing to start.

Tdi diesel engine vehicles

If the vehicle runs out of fuel, then qualified assistance may be required to prime the fuel system before the engine can be restarted.

Page 69

Fuel Filling

FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH (Td5 models)

H3582

The fuel cut-off switch is a safety device which, in the event of a collision or sudden impact, automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the engine.

The switch is located on the engine compartment bulkhead. After an impact, the switch must be reset by pressing the rubber top (arrowed in illustration) before the engine can be restarted.

WARNING

ALWAYS check for fuel leaks before resetting the switch!

Page 70

Manual Gearbox

GEAR LEVER

135

24R

H3749

Manual transmission vehicles feature a five speed main gearbox and a two-speed (LOW & HIGH) transfer box. In addition, a centre differential in the transfer box distributes the drive to the front and rear axles, providing permanent four wheel drive. By using the main gearbox in conjunction with the transfer gears, ten forward and two reverse speeds are available.

Precautions while driving

• DO NOT rest your hand on the gear lever

while driving - pressure from your hand may cause premature wear to the gear selector mechanism.

• DO NOT use the clutch pedal as a foot rest.

To prevent unnecessary wear, always keep the left foot well clear of the clutch pedal except when changing gear.

• DO NOT hold the vehicle stationary on a hill

by slipping the clutch. This will wear out the clutch. Always use the handbrake.

The gear positions for the main gearbox are shown on the gear lever knob. Note that when the gearbox is in neutral, the gear lever is spring-loaded to lie naturally between third and fourth gear positions.

WARNING

Do not select reverse gear unless the vehicle is stationary.

Do not attempt to start the engine with the vehicle in gear. The engine must ONLT be started with the main gear lever in neutral and the handbrake applied.

Page 71

Transfer Gearbox

TRANSFER GEARBOX

DIFF

LOCK

H3607

The second gear lever is used to select either the high or low range of gears in the transfer gearbox and, in addition, also controls the centre differential (known as the ‘Diff lock’).

High range (‘H’)

The high range of gears should be used for all normal road driving and also for off-road driving across dry, level terrain.

‘Diff lock’ centre differential

Use the ‘unlocked’ position for all normal driving, and use the ‘diff lock’ position to improve traction in extreme conditions where wheel grip could be lost, such as; driving over wet grass, mud, sand, ice or snow. Return to the ‘unlocked’ position as soon as dry, firm ground is reached.

DO NOT use the ‘diff lock’ unnecessarily!

USING THE TRANSFER GEARBOX

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, depress the clutch and then move the lever fully forward (or backwards) in TWO

distinct but positive moves - ‘high to neutral’....

‘neutral to low’ (or vice versa). If there is resistance to the gear engaging, do

not force the lever. Instead, with the main lever in gear, release the clutch momentarily and then try again.

Low range (‘L’)

Use low range gears when moving off from rest when towing a heavy load, or in any situation where low speed manoeuvring is necessary, such as reversing a trailer or negotiating a boulder strewn river bed; also use low range for more extreme off-road conditions where progress in high range cannot be maintained. DO NOT attempt to use LOW range gears for normal road driving.

Neutral (‘N’)

With the transfer lever in neutral, drive cannot be transmitted to the road wheels, regardless of the position of the main gear lever. Use transfer neutral when being towed or when using winching or power take off facilities.

Page 72

Transfer Gearbox

Changing from high to low on the move

With the vehicle slowing to a stop and travelling NO FASTER THAN 5 mph (8 km/h), depress the clutch and push the transfer lever into neutral. Just before the road wheels stop turning (and with the clutch still depressed) push the lever fully forward into ‘L’ (low).

NOTE: Use positive and confident moves, but do not rush the gear change.

Changing from low to high on the move

Changing from ‘L’ (low) to ‘H’ (high) can be achieved without stopping the vehicle, as follows:

1. Apply slight backward pressure to the

transfer gear lever in preparation for changing.

2. Then, in three simultaneous moves,

depress the clutch, release the accelerator and pull the transfer lever into neutral.

3. Release the clutch ped al for appr oximately

3 seconds before depressing it again and moving the transfer lever firmly into the high position.

4. Finally, select a suitable main gear, release

the clutch and continue driving in the normal way.

NOTE: After a little practice, this operation can be carried out smoothly and quickly by using firm, positive moves.

THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

3608

Unlike many four wheel drive vehicles, all Land Rover vehicles have permanent four wheel drive. This is achieved by the inclusion of a lockable differential between the front and rear drive shafts. With the differential locked, the drive shafts to front and rear axles are (in effect) joined together, causing both to rotate at the same speed. This is a normal feature with all four-wheel drive vehicles and enhances traction on difficult off-road surfaces. However, with the differential unlocked, the different running requirements of the two axles can be accommodated, thereby enabling Land Rover vehicles to operate permanently in four wheel drive for both road AND off-road use.

Selecting diff lock

The diff lock can be engaged or disengaged either with the vehicle stationary, or when driving at any road speed. However, with the vehicle in motion, it is ESSENTIAL to be travelling on firm ground, in a straight line, and without wheel slip.

Page 73

Transfer Gearbox

WARNING

DO NOT engage the diff lock if one or more wheels are slipping - this could damage the transmission. If wheels are slipping, ease off the accelerator before engaging the diff lock.

DO NOT engage the diff lock from the transfer neutral position.

To lock the differential:

Briefly ease the throttle and move the transfer gear lever to the left - from either ‘H’ (high) or ‘L’ (low) position (the warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate).

To unlock the differential: Move the transfer gear lever to the right - to either ‘H’ (high) or ‘L’ (low) position as required; when the diff lock disengages, the warning light will extinguish.

When to use the diff lock

As a general rule, the differential should only be locked in order to drive off-road on loose and slippery surfaces. ALWAYS unlock the differential for normal road driving or as soon as a hard grippy surface is reached, whether high or low gears are selected.

NOTE: A valuable introduction to off-road driving, which includes many useful references to the transfer gearbox and the diff lock, is included in the ‘Off-road driving’ section of this handbook.

Diff lock warning light

The amber warning light in the instrument panel illuminates when

the diff lock is actually engaged rather than when it has been selected. Similarly, it will only extinguish when the diff lock is actually disengaged. This accounts for a slight delay between diff lock deselection and the warning light extinguishing, which is quite normal.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Tran sm iss io n ‘wind up’

If the warning light is obviously reluctant to extinguish after the diff lock has been deselected, some transmission ‘wind up’ may be present. Reversing the vehicle a short distance and then going forward will usually ‘unwind’ the transmission and extinguish the light and the vehicle can be driven as normal. However, if after two or three attempts to ‘unwind’ the transmission the light remains on, consult your dealer AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WARNING

If the vehicle is driven on normal road surfaces with the differential locked, the steering will feel stiff, excessive tyre wear will occur and the transmission will be ‘wound up’. This places excessive strain on the transmission.

For your safety, the hydraulic braking system operates through dual circuits. If one circuit should fail, the other will continue to function. However, in the event of brake failure where only one circuit is operational, the vehicle should only be driven at slow speed to the nearest qualified dealer. In these circumstances, exercise extreme caution and be aware that increased brake pedal travel, greater pedal pressure, and longer stopping distances will be experienced.

Servo assistance

The braking system is servo assisted, but ONLY when the engine is running. Without this assistance greater braking effort is necessary to safely control the vehicle, resulting in longer stopping distances. Always observe the following precautions:

• NEVER allow the vehicle to freewheel with

the engine turned off.

• ALWAYS take particular care when being

towed with the engine turned off.

• If the engine should stop for any reason

while the vehicle is in motion, bring the vehicle to a halt as quickly as traffic conditions safely allow, and DO NOT pump the brake pedal as the braking system may lose any remaining assistance available.

Brake warning light

If the warning light in the instrument panel illuminates

while driving, and the handbrake is fully released, a fault with the braking system is indicated. Check the brake fluid level; if the light continues to illuminate, seek qualified assistance before continuing.

Brake pads

Brake pads require a period of bedding in. For the first 500 miles (800 km), you should avoid situations where heavy braking is required.

Remember! regular servicing is vital to ensure that the brake pads are examined for wear and changed periodically to ensure long-term safety and optimum performance.

WARNING

DO NOT rest your foot on the brake pedal while travelling as this may overheat the brakes, reduce their efficiency and cause excessive wear.

NEVER move a vehicle without the engine running because braking assistance will not be available. The pedal brakes will still function, but more pressure will be required to operate them.

If the brake warning light should illuminate while the vehicle is in motion, bring the vehicle to a halt as quickly as traffic conditions and safety permit and seek qualified assistance before continuing. DO NOT pump the brake pedal - the braking system may lose any remaining servo assistance available.

Wet conditions

Driving through water or even very heavy rain may adversely affect braking efficiency. Always dry the braking surfaces by intermittent light application of the brakes, first ensuring that you are at a safe distance from other road users.

Page 75

Brakes

HANDBRAKE

Unlike most other vehicles, the handbrake operates on the rear propeller shaft, and NOT on the road wheels. This may result in slight movement of the vehicle after the handbrake is applied.

To engage the handbrake, pull the lever up fully. To release, pull the lever up slightly, depress

the button and lower the lever.

Always apply the handbrake fully whenever you park.

When parking on a slope, do not rely on the handbrake alone to hold the vehicle, park in a low forward gear when facing uphill and in reverse gear when facing downhill. For extra security on steep slopes, move the transfer lever into low range or engage the diff lock.

WARNING

DO NOT apply the handbrake while the vehicle is in motion as this could result in loss of vehicle control and damage to the transmission.

DO NOT rely on the handbrake to operate effectively if the vehicle has been subjected to immersion in mud and water (see ‘Off-road driving’ section).

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES*

WARNING

ABS cannot overcome the physical limitations of stopping the vehicle in too short a distance, cornering at too high a speed, or the danger of aquaplaning, i.e. where a layer of water prevents adequate contact between the tyres and the road surface.

The fact that a vehicle is fitted with ABS must never tempt the driver into taking risks that could affect his/her safety or that of other road users. In all cases, it remains the driver's responsibility to drive within normal safety margins, having due consideration for prevailing weather and traffic conditions.

The driver should always take account of the surface to be travelled over and the fact that brake pedal reactions will be different to those experienced on a non-ABS vehicle.

The purpose of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is to allow efficient braking without wheel locking - thereby allowing the driver to retain steering control of the vehicle.

Under normal braking conditions, (where sufficient road surface friction exists to reliably bring the vehicle to a halt without the wheels locking), ABS will not be activated. However, should the braking force exceed the available adhesion between the tyres and the road surface, then ABS will automatically come into operation. This will be recognisable by a rapid pulsation felt through the brake pedal.

Page 76

Brakes

In normal road use, in an emergency situation full braking effort should always be applied even when the road surface is slippery. The anti-lock braking system constantly monitors the speed of each wheel and varies braking pressure to each, according to the amount of traction available, thereby ensuring that the wheels do not lock.

No matter how hard you brake, you should be able to continue steering the vehicle as NORMAL.

• DO NOT pump the brake pedal at any time;

this will interrupt operation of the system and may increase braking distance.

• NEVER place additional floor matting or any

other obstruction under the brake pedal. This restricts pedal travel and therefore braking efficiency is impaired.

Warning light

The anti-lock braking system incorporates a monitoring system,

which checks that all the electrical components are in working order, as soon as the starter switch is turned on and also at frequent intervals during your journey.

The warning light on the instrument panel is an important part of this system. The light should illuminate for approximately 1 second as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and briefly extinguish before coming on again. If the light does not extinguish and then illuminate again, a fault has occurred with the ABS system and you should consult with a Land Rover dealer at the earliest opportunity.

The warning light will remain illuminated until the vehicle is driven above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h).

If the light remains on, or illuminates while driving, a fault has been detected by the self monitoring system and full ABS control may not be available - consult your dealer at the earliest opportunity.

The normal braking system remains fully operational and is not affected by partial or full loss of the ABS. However, braking distances may increase.

Off-road driving

While anti-lock braking is designed to operate equally effectively in ‘off-road’ driving conditions, on certain surfaces total reliance on the system may be unwise - remember, in normal circumstances, anti-lock braking operates only AFTER the driver has already lost control. It cannot reliably compensate for driver error or inexperience on difficult off-road surfaces.

Note the following:

• On soft or deep surfaces such as powdery

snow, sand or gravel, and on extremely rough ground, the braking distance required by the anti-lock braking system may be greater than for normal braking, even though improved steering would be experienced. This is because the natural action of locked wheels on soft surfaces is to build up a wedge of surface material in front which assists the wheels to stop.

• If the vehicle is stopped on a very steep

slope where little traction is available, it may slide with the wheels locked because there is no wheel rotation to signal movement to the ABS. To counteract this, briefly release the brakes to permit some wheel movement, then re-apply the brakes to allow ABS to gain control.

• Before driving off-road read and thoroughly

understand the ‘Off-road driving’ section of this handbook.

Page 77

Traction Control

Traction Contro l

ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL*

The purpose of electronic traction control is to aid traction when one or more wheels are spinning while others have good grip, e.g. if one wheel is on ice and others are on tarmac. The system works by applying the brake to a spinning wheel in order to transfer torque to the remaining wheels.

NOTE: Traction control can operate up to speeds of 30 mph (50 km/h).

Warning light

The instrument panel has a traction control warning (TC) which

illuminates for a minimum of 2 seconds whenever the system is active and also illuminates as a bulb check (for approximately 4 seconds) when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’.

If there is a fault with the system, the warning light will illuminate continuously and remain illuminated when the vehicle is stopped, in which case you should contact your dealer at the earliest opportunity.

In the unlikely event that traction control operates continuously for too long (in excess of approximately 1 minute), then the control unit shuts down to allow cooling and the warning light flashes for at least 10 seconds.

Page 78

Towing

H3633

TOWING

The torque ranges of Land Rover engines allow maximum-weight loads to be pulled smoothly from standstill, and reduce gear changing on hills or rough terrain. A smooth start will be achieved with trailers over 4400 lb (2000 kg) by moving off in low range then changing to high range while on the move (see ‘TRANSFER GEARBOX’, page 70).

The suspension is designed to cope with a heavy trailer load without upsetting the balance or feel of the vehicle.

WARNING

It is recommended that you fit only towing accessories approved by Land Rover.

In the interest of safety, the gross vehicle weight, maximum rear axle weight, maximum trailer weight and tow hitch load (nose weight) must not be exceeded.

If a NATO Hook or a Jaw and Pintle type towing accessory is to be fitted to your vehicle, DO NOT attach them directly to the chassis rear cross-member - it is essential that an adaptor plate kit (available from a Land Rover dealer) is also fitted.

DO NOT use lashing eyes or vehicle recovery towing eyes to tow a trailer or caravan.

It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the towing vehicle and trailer/caravan are loaded and balanced so that the combination is stable when in motion. When preparing your vehicle for towing, pay attention to any instructions provided by the trailer/caravan manufacturer as well as to the information that follows.

Balancing the combination

To ensure optimum stability, it is essential that the trailer adopts a level aspect. In other words, the trailer must be level with the ground, with the towing hitch and trailer drawbar set at the same height (note the illustration at the top of the page). This is particularly important when towing twin axle trailers!

• The trailer should be level with the ground

when loaded.

• The height of the drawbar hitch point should

be set so that the trailer is level when connected to the loaded vehicle.

Page 79

Towing

Points to remember:

• When calculating the laden weight of the

trailer, remember to include the weight of the trailer PLUS the load.

• The recommended trailer nose weight plus

the combined weight of the vehicle's load carrying area and rear seat passengers must never exceed the specified maximum rear axle load (see ‘TOWING WEIGHTS’, page 162).

• Where the load can be divided between

trailer and tow vehicle, loading more weight into the vehicle will generally improve the stability of the combination. However, ensure that the gross vehicle and maximum rear axle weights are not exceeded and that the combination remains level.

• Towing regulations vary from country to

country. Always ensure national regulations governing towing weights and speed limits are observed (refer to the relevant national motoring organisation for information). The vehicle’s maximum permissible towed weight refers to its design limitations and NOT to any specific territorial restriction (see ‘TOWING WEIGHTS’, page 162).

NOTE: The maximum speed when towing is 100 kph (62 mph).

NOTE: Above 1,000 ft (300 metres) the effects of altitude can adversely affect engine performance and also cause overheating.

Vehicle weights

When loading a vehicle to its maximum (gross vehicle weight), take account of the unladen vehicle weight and load distribution to ensure that axle loadings do not exceed the permitted maximum values. It is your responsibility to limit the vehicle load in such a way that neither the maximum axle loads nor the gross vehicle weight are exceeded.

Coupled braking systems

In order to tow a trailer with a weight in excess of 3,500 kg, the vehicle must be adapted to operate a coupled braking system. If this adaptation is carried out, the vehicle identification number plate (VIN) must be changed to show the increased train weight.

Revised VIN plates may be obtained from Land Rover; these will be issued subject to satisfactory proof that the vehicle has been fitted with an approved conversion.

Trailer socket

When the engine is running, power output from the trailer socket must NOT exceed 5 amps.

ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS

Tyre pressures: Ensure trailer/caravan tyres are at the pressures recommended by the trailer

manufacturer.

Loading: Keep trailer loads securely anchored, evenly distributed and as low as

possible with heavy loads over the axle. Towing vehicle maximum axle weights and gross vehicle weight must not be exceeded.

Nose weight: The recommended trailer nose weight limit is 330 lb (150 kg). Hitch height: Must be set so that caravan/trailer is level when connected to the tow

vehicle.

Brakes: Check the operation of trailer brakes and lights.

Load Carrying

LUGGAGE SPACE

WARNING

DO NOT carry unsecured equipment, tools or luggage which could move and cause personal injury in the event of an accident or emergency manoeuvre, either on or off road.

ROOF RACKS

ALWAYS use an approved roof rack and follow the manufacturer’s fitt ing instructions carefully. A full list of all approved accessories is available from your Land Rover dealer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Always observe the following precautions:

• The MAXIMUM load for approved roof

rack systems is 330 lb (150 kg) for normal road use and 66 lb (30 kg) off-road. Calculation of the maximum load must include the weight of the roof rack.

• A loaded roof rack can reduce the

stability of the vehicle, particularly when cornering and encountering cross winds.

• All loads should be evenly distributed,

and secured within the periphery of the roof rack.

• Always secure the load to the side rails,

not just to the cross rails.

• Only fit roof racks that have been

designed for your vehicle. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

• Driving off-road with a loaded roof rack

is not recommended. If it is necessary to stow luggage on the roof rack while driving off-road, all loads must be removed before traversing side slopes.

WINCHES

A number of different winches, suited to jobs ranging from vehicle recovery to haulage, can be fitted to your Defender. For further information on the types of winch available and their various uses, contact your Land Rover dealer.

As winch operation will vary considerably on different winch units, it is essential that the manufacturer’s operating instructions are understood and followed carefully.

Winch safety

WARNING

If used incorrectly, winches can be extremely dangerous.

ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions carefully.

NEVER stand near, or astride a winching cable whilst it is under tension.

ALWAYS wear protective gloves when handling winch cables.

After winching

Whilst wearing thick, protective gloves, clean and lubricate the cable with a recommended cable lubricant. For further information, consult your Land Rover dealer.

WARNING

NEVER allow a cable to kink, coil or overlap on the winch spool.

NOTE: If a capstan winch is used, ensure the

rope is cleaned and dried before stowing.

In addition:

• DO NOT attempt to continue winching if the

winch has stalled due to overloading.

• Inspect the winch and cable regularly -

ALWAYS have worn or damaged parts replaced immediately.

• Only use recommended replacement parts

of the same specification as the original equipment - failure to do so may not only damage the winch, but may cause serious personal injury.

Page 82

Ancillary Equipment

POWER TAKE-OFF DRIVES

Your Defender is capable of providing a static or mobile power source, which can be used to power generators, compressors, pumps and other ancillary equipment, mounted on or under the vehicle, by means of shaft, belt or hydraulic drive. This is possible by having a power take-off drive unit fitted to the transfer gearbox. This provides the basic drive for several variations of power take-off layouts.

The power take-off capability is an integral part of the vehicle design and has been tried and tested under the most rigorous and demanding conditions across the world. Land Rover dealers provide a full range of power take-off drive units and accessories, designed and built for the Defender.

For static operation, select neutral in the transfer gearbox to disconnect the drive to the road wheels - it is then possible to operate the power take-off independently. The forward gears and hand throttle control the operating speed. To prevent the transmission from being overloaded, it is recommended that the highest gear possible should be used.

The lower gears can be used when lower operating speeds are required, but they should only be used for light workloads and for short periods of time.

* can now be used to

HAND THROTTLE*

The hand throttle is for use in conjunction with power take-off equipment (winches, pumps for example), when a relatively constant engine speed is required.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to use the hand throttle when the vehicle is being driven.

Operating the hand throttle:

1. Select ‘N’ (neutral) in the transfer gearbox.

2. Pull the hand throttle control out until the

desired engine speed is achieved.

3. Twist the control clockwise to lock the

throttle in position.

The accelerator pedal can be used to temporarily override the hand throttle (to increase engine speed). Once the accelerator is released, the engine speed will return to the level set by the hand throttle.

To turn the hand throttle off, twist the control fully in (to the closed position).

Ensure the hand throttle is fully closed before driving.

If power tale-off is being used while the vehicle is moving, it will operate at a speed in direct proportion to the road speed of the vehicle and to the selected transfer gear ratio.

For more information on the use of power take-off drives and equipment, consult your Land Rover dealer.

Off-road Driving

BEFORE YOU DRIVE

Before venturing off-road, it is absolutely essential that inexperienced driver's become

fully familiar with the vehicle's controls, in particular the transfer gearbox, and also study the off-road driving techniques described on this and the following pages.

WARNING

Off-road driving can be hazardous!

•

DO NOT take unnecessary risks and be prepared for emergencies at all times.

•

Familiarise yourself with the recommended driving techniques in order to minimise risks to yourself, your vehicle AND your passengers.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Always wear a seat belt for personal

protection in all off-road driving situations.

• DO NOT drive if the fuel level is low -

undulating ground and steep inclines could cause fuel starvation to the engine.

BASIC OFF-ROAD TECHNIQUES

These basic driving techniques are an introduction to the art of off-road driving and do not necessarily provide the information needed to successfully cope with every single off-road situation.

We strongly recommend that owners who intend to drive off-road frequently, should seek as much additional information and practical experience as possible.

Before driving off-road it is important that you check the condition of the wheels and tyres and that the tyre pressures are correct. Worn or incorrectly inflated tyres will adversely affect the performance, stability and safety of the vehicle.

Gear selection

Correct gear selection is possibly the single most important factor for safe and successful off-road driving. While only experience will tell you which is the correct gear for any section of ground, the following basic rules apply:

• NEVER change gear or operate the clutch

while negotiating difficult terrain - the drag on the wheels may cause the vehicle to stop when the clutch is depressed and restarting may be difficult.

• Generally, and especially where slippery or

soft ground conditions prevail, the higher the gear you select the better.

• When descending very steep slopes always

select first gear in LOW range.

Inexperienced drivers are advised to stop the vehicle (on firm ground) and carefully consider which gear will be most appropriate for each manoeuvre before continuing.

Page 87

Off-road Driving

Slipping the clutch

Use of excessive clutch slip to prevent the engine stalling will result in premature clutch wear. Always select a gear low enough to enable the vehicle to proceed without needing to slip the clutch.

DO NOT drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal; driving across uneven terrain could cause you to inadvertently depress the clutch, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.

Transfer gears

High range gears should be used whenever possible - only change to low range when ground conditions become very difficult. The diff lock should be engaged whenever there is a risk of losing wheel grip, and disengaged as soon as firm, level, non-slippery ground is reached.

Braking

As far as possible, vehicle speed should be controlled through correct gear selection. Application of the brake pedal should be kept to a minimum. Unless ABS is fitted, any braking on wet, muddy or loose surfaces is likely to cause one or more wheels to lock - the resultant slide could prove dangerous.

Accelerating

Use the accelerator with care - any sudden surge of power may induce wheel spin and, therefore, invoke unnecessary operation of traction control could lead to loss of control of the vehicle.

Steering

H3659

*, or in extreme conditions

WARNING

DO NOT hold the steering wheel with your thumbs inside the rim - a sudden ‘Kick’ of the wheel as the vehicle negotiates a rut or boulder could seriously injure them. ALWAYS grip the wheel on the outside of the rim (as shown) when traversing uneven ground.

NOTE: If the correct gear has been selected,

braking will be largely unnecessary.

Use of engine for braking

Before descending steep slopes, stop the vehicle at least its length before the descent, engage LOW range and then select first or second gear, depending on the severity of the incline.

While descending the slope it should be remembered that the engine will provide sufficient braking effort to control the rate of descent, and that the brakes should not be applied.

Survey the ground before driving

Before negotiating difficult terrain, it is wise to carry out a preliminary survey on foot. This will minimise the risk of your vehicle getting into difficulty through a previously unnoticed hazard.

Page 88

Off-road Driving

Ground clearance

Don't forget to allow for ground clearance beneath the chassis, axles and under the front and rear bumpers. Note that the axle differentials are situated BELOW the chassis and are positioned slightly to the right of the centre of the vehicle. Note also that there are other parts of the vehicle which may come into contact with the ground - take care not to ground the vehicle.

Ground clearance is particularly important at the bottom of steep slopes, or where wheel ruts are unusually deep and where sudden changes in the slope of the ground are experienced.

On soft ground the axle differentials will clear their own path in all but the most difficult conditions. However, on frozen, rocky or hard ground, hard contact between the differentials and the ground will generally result in the vehicle coming to a sudden stop.

ALWAYS attempt to avoid obstacles that may foul the chassis or axle differentials.

Loss of traction

If the vehicle is immobilised due to loss of wheel grip, the following hints could be of value:

• Avoid prolonged wheel spin; this will only

make matters worse.

• Remove obstacles rather than forcing the

vehicle to cross them.

• Clear clogged tyre treads.

• Reverse as far as possible, then attempt an

increased speed approach - additional momentum may overcome the obstacle.

• Brushwood, sacking or any similar material

placed in front of the tyres may improve tyre grip.

Page 89

Off-road Driving

AFTER DRIVING OFF-ROAD

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Before rejoining the public highway, or driving at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h), consideration should be given to the following:

• Wheels and tyres must be cleaned of

mud and inspected for damage.

• If wheels and tyres are not cleaned

properly, damage to the wheels, tyres, braking system and suspension components could occur.

• Brake discs and callipers should be

examined and any stones or grit that may affect braking efficiency removed.

SERVICING REQUIREMENTS

Vehicles operated in arduous conditions, particularly on dusty, muddy or wet terrain, and vehicles undergoing frequent or deep wading conditions will require more frequent servicing. See ‘OWNER MAINTENANCE’, page 98 and contact a Land Rover dealer for advice.

After wading in salt water or driving on sandy beaches, use a hose to wash the underbody components and any exposed body panels with fresh water. This will help to protect the vehicle's cosmetic appearance.

Page 90

Driving Techniques

Driving Technique s

DRIVING ON SOFT SURFACES & DRY SAND

The ideal technique for driving on soft surfaces (dry sand for example), requires the vehicle to be kept moving at all times - soft sand causes excessive drag on the wheels resulting in a rapid loss of motion once driving momentum is lost. For this reason, gear changing should be avoided.

Engage the diff lock, select the highest suitable gear and REMAIN in that gear until a firm surface is reached. It is generally advisable to use LOW range gears, as they will enable you to accelerate through worsening conditions without the risk of being unable to restart.

Disengage the diff lock as soon as firm ground is reached.

Stopping the vehicle on soft ground, in sand or on an incline

If you do stop the vehicle, remember: Starting on an incline or in soft ground or sand

may be difficult. Always park on a firm level area, or with the vehicle facing downhill.

On vehicles not fitted with traction control, to avoid wheel spin, select second or third gear and use the MINIMUM throttle necessary to get the vehicle moving.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES (ice, snow, mud, wet grass)

• With the diff lock engaged, select the

highest gear possible.

• Drive away using the MINIMUM throttle

possible.

• Drive slowly at all times, keeping braking to

a minimum and avoiding violent movements of the steering wheel.

• Disengage the diff lock as soon as a

non-slippery surface is reached.

DRIVING ON ROUGH TRACKS

Although rough tracks can sometimes be negotiated in normal drive, it is advisable to lock the differential if excessive suspension movement is likely to induce wheel spin.

On very rough tracks, engage LOW range to enable a steady, low speed to be maintained without the constant use of the brake and clutch pedals.

Always disengage the diff lock when smooth, firm ground is reached.

If forward motion is lost, avoid excessive use of the throttle - this will cause wheel spin and tend to dig the vehicle into the sand. Clear sand from around the tyres and ensure that the chassis and axles are not bearing on the sand before again attempting to move.

If the wheels have sunk, use an air bag lifting device or high lift jack to raise the vehicle, and then build up sand under the wheels so that the vehicle is again on level ground. If a restart is still not possible, place sand mats or ladders beneath the wheels.

Page 91

Driving Techniques

CLIMBING STEEP SLOPES

Engage the diff lock and ALWAYS follow the fall line of the slope - travelling diagonally could encourage the vehicle to slide broadside down the slope.

Steep climbs will usually require the LOW gear range. If the surface is loose or slippery, use sufficient speed in the highest practical gear to take advantage of your vehicle's momentum. However, too high a speed over a bumpy surface may result in a wheel lifting, causing the vehicle to lose traction. In this case try a slower approach. Traction can also be improved by easing off the accelerator just before loss of forward motion.

If the vehicle is unable to complete a climb, do not attempt to turn it around while on the slope. Instead, adopt the following procedure to reverse downhill to the foot of the slope.

1. Hold the vehicle stationary using both foot

and hand brakes.

2. Restart the engine if necessary.

3. Engage reverse gear LOW range.

4. Release the handbrake. Then release the

foot brake and clutch simultaneously, and allow the vehicle to reverse down the slope using engine braking to control the rate of descent.

5. Unless it is necessary to stop the vehicle

to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT apply the brake or clutch pedal during the descent - even a light application may cause the front wheels to lock, rendering the steering ineffective.

6. If the vehicle begins to slide, accelerate

slightly to allow the tyres to regain grip.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to reverse down a slope without the engine running, or the braking effect of the gearbox will be lost.

When the vehicle is back on level ground or where traction can be regained, a faster approach will probably enable the hill to be climbed. However, DO NOT take unnecessary risks, if the hill is too difficult to climb, find an alternative route.

Page 92

Driving Techniques

DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES

H3643

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions may cause the vehicle to roll over.

• Stop the vehicle at least a vehicle length

before the start of the slope and engage first gear LOW range with the differential locked.

• Unless it is necessary to stop the vehicle in

order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT touch the brake or clutch pedals during the descent - the engine will limit the speed, keeping the vehicle under control provided the front wheels are rotating. If the vehicle begins to slide, accelerate gently to maintain directional stability. DO NOT use the brakes or attempt to change gear.

• Once level ground is reached, unlock the

differential and select a suitable gear for the next stage of your journey.

TRAVERSING A SLOPE

H3634

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions may cause the vehicle to roll over.

Before crossing a slope ALWAYS observe the following precautions:

• Check that the ground is firm and not

slippery.

• Check that the wheels on the downhill side

of the vehicle are not likely to drop into depressions in the ground and that the ‘uphill’ wheels will not run over rocks, tree roots, or similar obstacles that could suddenly increase the angle of tilt.

• Ensure that passenger weight is evenly

distributed, that all roof rack luggage is removed and that all other luggage is properly secured and stowed as low as possible. Always remember; any sudden movement of the load could cause the vehicle to overturn.

• Rear seat passengers should sit on the

uphill side of the vehicle or, in extreme conditions, should vacate the vehicle until the sloping ground has been safely negotiated.

Page 93

Driving Techniques

NEGOTIATING A ‘V’ SHAPED GULLY

Observe extreme caution! Steering up either of the gully walls could cause the side of the vehicle to be trapped against the opposite gully wall.

DRIVING IN EXISTING WHEEL TRACKS

As far as possible allow the vehicle to steer itself along the bottom of the ruts. However, always keep a light hold of the steering wheel to prevent it from spinning free.

Particularly in wet conditions, if the steering wheel is allowed to spin free, the vehicle may appear to be driving straight ahead in the ruts, but in actual fact (due to the lack of traction caused by the wet ground) is unknowingly on full right or left lock. Then, when level ground is reached, or if a dry patch of ground is encountered, the wheels will find traction and cause the vehicle to suddenly veer to left or right.

CROSSING A RIDGE

H3635

Approach at right angles so that both front wheels cross the ridge together - an angled approach could cause traction to be lost through diagonally opposite wheels lifting from the ground at the same time.

Page 94

Driving Techniques

CROSSING A DITCH

H3636

With the diff lock engaged, cross ditches at an angle so that three wheels always maintain contact with the ground. If a ditch is approached head on, both front wheels will drop into the ditch together, possibly resulting in the chassis and front bumper being trapped on opposite sides of the ditch.

WADING

H3644

WARNING

The maximum advisable wading depth is 20 inches (0,5 m).

Severe electrical damage may occur if the vehicle remains stationary for any length of time when the water level is above the door sills.

If the water is likely to exceed 20 inches (0,5 m), the following precautions should be observed:

• Fix a plastic sheet in front of the radiator

grille to prevent water from soaking the engine and mud from blocking the radiator.

• Fit a drain plug to the flywheel housing and

engine timing cover (Tdi engines only).

• Ensure that the silt bed beneath the water is

free of obstacles and firm enough to support the vehicle's weight and provide sufficient traction.

• Ensure that the engine air intake is clear of

the water level.

• To prevent saturation of the electrical

system and air intake, avoid excessive engine speed.

Page 95

Driving Techniques

• With the diff lock engaged, select a low gear

and maintain sufficient throttle to prevent the engine from stalling. This is particularly important if the exhaust pipe is under water.

• Drive slowly into the water and accelerate to

a speed which causes a bow wave to form; then maintain that speed.

At all times, keep all the doors fully closed.

After wading

• Drive the vehicle a short distance and apply

the foot brake to check that the brakes are fully effective.

• DO NOT rely on the handbrake to hold the

vehicle stationary until the transmission has thoroughly dried out; in the meantime, leave the vehicle parked in gear.

• Remove the timing cover drain plug (where

fitted) and also any protective covering from the front of the radiator grille.

• If the water was particularly muddy, remove

any blockages (mud and leaves) from the radiator to reduce the risk of overheating.

• If deep water is regularly negotiated, check

all oils for signs of water contamination contaminated oil can be identified through its ‘milky’ appearance. In addition, check the air filter element for water ingress and replace if wet - consult a Land Rover dealer if necessary.

• If salt water is frequently negotiated,

thoroughly wash the underbody components and exposed body panels with fresh water.

Wading plugs

WARNING

For safety, DO NOT work underneath the vehicle unless it is safely parked with the wheels chocked, or is supported by heavy duty stands.

Under severe wading conditions, the timing cover and flywheel housing must be sealed to prevent the ingress of mud and water. Fit the plugs, supplied in the tool kit. Remove the plugs immediately after wading, or periodically if the vehicle is required to do prolonged wading or very muddy work.

NOTE: Vehicles required to undergo frequent or deep wading conditions will require more frequent servicing. Contact a Land Rover dealer for advice.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Regular systematic maintenance is the key to ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency of your vehicle.

Maintenance is the owner's responsibility and you must ensure that owner maintenance operations, routine servicing and brake fluid and coolant changes are carried out when required and according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

The routine maintenance requirements for your vehicle are shown in the Service Portfolio book. Most of this necessary workshop maintenance requires specialised knowledge and equipment, and should preferably be entrusted to a Land Rover dealer.

Service Portfolio

The Service Portfolio book includes a Service Record section, which enables a record to be kept of all the services that are carried out on the vehicle. This section of the book also provides a facility for the dealer to record brake fluid and camshaft drive belt changes.

Brake fluid/component replacement

Brake fluid must be completely renewed every 24,000 miles (40,000 km) or 24 months, whichever is the sooner.

At 48,000 mile (80,000 km) intervals or every 4 years, whichever is the sooner, all hydraulic brake fluid, seals and flexible hoses should be renewed. All working surfaces of the calliper cylinders should be examined and the components renewed where necessary. Under arduous operating conditions, these intervals may need to be reduced. Please consult your Land Rover dealer.

Coolant replacement

The engine coolant (anti-freeze and water solution) needs to be replaced every 36,000 miles (60,000 km) or 36 months, whichever is the sooner. Your dealer will replace the coolant at the scheduled service.

Ensure your dealer signs and stamps the book after each service.

Maintenance

OWNER MAINTENANCE

In addition to the routine services referred to previously, a number of simple checks must be carried out more frequently. You can carry out these checks yourself and a dvice is given on the pages that follow.

Any significant or sudden drop in fluid levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be reported to a dealer without delay.

Daily checks

• Operation of lights, horn, direction

indicators, wipers, washers and warning lights.

• Operation of seat belts and brakes.

• Look for fluid deposits underneath the

vehicle that might indicate a leak.

Weekly checks - at least every 250 miles (400 km)

• Engine oil level.

NOTE: The engine oil level should be checked more frequently if the vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high speeds.

• Coolant level.

• Brake fluid level.

• Clutch fluid level.

• Power steering fluid level.

• Screen washer fluid level.

• Tyre pressures and condition.

• Operate air conditioning

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Special operation conditions

When a vehicle is operated in extremely arduous conditions or a dusty, wet or muddy terrain, more frequent attention must be paid to servicing requirements. For example: if your vehicle experiences deep wading conditions, even DAILY servicing could be necessary to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.

Contact a Land Rover dealer for advice.

The gearbox fluid level should only be checked by a qualified dealer, at the time of a routine service.

All fluid specifications and capacities are shown in ‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’, page 151.

SAFETY IN THE GARAGE

WARNING

Cooling fans may continue to operate after the engine is switched off. When the engine is hot, the cooling fans may also COMMENCE operating after the engine is switched off and continue operating for up to 10 minutes. Keep clear of all fans while working in the engine compartment.

If you need to carry out maintenance, observe the following safety precautions at all times:

• Keep your hands and clothing away from

drive belts and pulleys.

• If the vehicle has been driven recently, DO

NOT TOUCH exhaust and cooling system components until the engine has cooled.

• DO NOT TOUCH electrical leads or

components while the engine is running, or with the starter switch turned on.

• NEVER leave the engine running in an

unventilated area - exhaust gases are poisonous and extremely dangerous.

• DO NOT work beneath the vehicle with the

wheel changing jack as the only means of support.

• Ensure sparks and naked lights are kept

away from the engine and battery.

• Wear protective clothing, including, where

practicable, gloves made from an impervious material.

• Remove metal wrist bands and jewellery

before working in the engine compartment.

• DO NOT allow tools or metal parts of the

vehicle to make contact with the battery leads or terminals.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should any part of the fuel system be dismantled or replaced by anyone other than a suitably qualified motor vehicle technician. Failure to comply with this instruction may result in fuel spillage with a consequent serious risk of fire.

Poisonous fluids

Fluids used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should not be consumed or brought into contact with open wounds. These include; battery acid, anti-freeze, brake and power steering fluid, petrol, diesel, engine oil and windscreen washer additives.

For your own safety, ALWAYS read and obey all instructions printed on labels and containers.

Used engine oil

Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer of the skin. ALWAYS wash thoroughly after contact.

It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses or soil. Use authorised waste disposal

sites to dispose of used oil and toxic chemicals.
