About this handbook

This handbook forms part of the Owner literature supplied with your new vehicle. Left-hand drive and right-hand drive conditions may be shown in the graphics and where information is specific to a particular country, it is indicated as such.

The Quick start section is designed to rapidly familiarise the driver with the initial set up and also explain some of the unique features. Please take the time to study the operating instructions with your vehicle as soon as you can.

Important

The information contained in this handbook covers all vehicle derivatives and optional equipment. Some of the options may not be fitted to your vehicle unless they formed part of the original vehicle specification. Therefore some parts of this handbook may not apply to your vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles, it may include descriptions of options before they become generally available.

The information contained in this publication was correct when it went to print. Vehicle design changes may have been made after this handbook was printed. When this occurs a handbook supplement is added to the literature pack. Subsequent updates can be viewed on the Land Rover Internet site at; www.ownerinfo.landrover.com.

In the interest of development, the right is reserved to change specifications, design or equipment at any time without notice and without incurring any obligations. This publication, or part thereof, may not be reproduced nor translated without our approval. Errors and omissions excepted.

Tachometer

Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (x 1 000). In normal driving conditions the engine is most fuel efficient between 2 000 and 3 000 rev/min.

Temperature gauge

At normal operating temperature, the pointer is positioned approximately midway between the red and blue markers on the gauge (the precise position will vary according to climatic conditions).

E86249

If the pointer moves above the midpoint, the engine coolant is becoming too hot. Should the pointer move to the top of the scale, severe engine damage could occur (under these circumstances the air conditioning may switch off and engine performance may reduce to minimise engine load).

Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits, and allow the engine to idle until the pointer moves back to its normal position. If the problem persists, seek qualified assistance immediately.

Fuel gauge

CAUTION

Never allow your vehicle to run out of fuel, as the resultant misfire may destroy

the catalytic converter.

When the starter switch is at position II the pointer quickly rises to show the level of fuel in the tank.

E85159

When the amber low fuel warning indicator (arrowed) illuminates, there is approximately 9 litres (2 gallons) of fuel in the tank. The small arrow alongside the fuel pump symbol indicates the side of the vehicle on which the fuel filler is located.

Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder

Indicates the total distance travelled, and also shows the most recent individual journey distance.

Trip recorder reset switch

With the starter switch turned on, press to reset the trip recorder back to zero.

Transfer gearbox

E85234

Use the transfer gearbox to select High range H, Low range L or Neutral N.

• Use H for all normal road conditions and

also for off-road dry, level ground.

• Select L only for low-speeds, such as

reversing a trailer or crossing a boulder-strewn river bed.

• Use N when being towed. When N is

selected, drive cannot be transferred to the road wheels, even if a gear is selected with the main gear lever.

Operating note

Do not use L for normal road driving.

Page 21

Quick start

Changing range

It is recommended that you change the gear range while the vehicle is moving.

If you prefer, you can change the gear range when the vehicle is stationary. See TRANSFER GEARBOX (page 81).

Changing from L to H

1. Apply slight backward pressure to the transfer gearbox lever in preparation for changing.

2. Then, in three simultaneous moves, depress the clutch pedal, release the accelerator pedal and pull the transfer gearbox lever into N.

3. Release the clutch pedal for three seconds, then depress the clutch pedal and move the lever firmly into H.

4. Select a suitable main gear and release the clutch pedal to continue driving.

Changing from H to L

1. With the vehicle slowing down and at less than 8 km/h (5 mph), depress the clutch pedal and move the transfer gearbox lever into N.

2. Just before the vehicle stops, and with the clutch pedal still depressed, push the lever into the L position.

3. Select a suitable main gear and release the clutch pedal to continue driving.

Differential lock

Your vehicle has permanent four-wheel-drive; however, additional grip may be obtained on loose and slippery surfaces by locking the differential.

If you lock the differential when driving, it is essential that you are travelling in a straight line on firm ground, and without wheel slip.

• To lock the differential: briefly ease the

accelerator pedal and (only from the H or L position) move the transfer gearbox lever to the left, to the Diff Lock position.

• To unlock the differential: move the

transfer gearbox lever to the right, to the H or L position.

In the instrument panel, the amber warning indicator illuminates when

the differential lock is actually engaged, rather than when selected. This causes a slight delay which is quite normal.

Operating note

Do not engage the differential lock if a wheel is slipping. This could damage the transmission.

Do not engage the differential lock from the transfer gearbox neutral position.

Do not drive above 60 km/h (40 mph) with the differential locked.

Always unlock the differential for normal road driving or as soon as you reach a hard grippy surface.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

WARNINGS

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 off-road applications. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems.

The vehicle is not designed for

cornering at the same speed as conventional passenger cars any more than a low-slung sports car is designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate the vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle roll-over.

The vehicle should not be parked over

long dry grass or other combustible material, particularly during dry weather. As the heat generated by the exhaust and emission control systems may be sufficient to start a fire.

DATA RECORDING

Service data recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or brakes.

In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Land Rover and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

WARNINGS

The fitting of non-approved parts and

accessories, or the carrying out of non-approved alterations or conversions, may be dangerous and could affect the safety of the vehicle and occupants and also invalidate the terms and conditions of the vehicle warranty.

Land Rover will not accept any liability

for death, personal injury or damage to property which may occur as a direct result of fitment of non-approved accessories or the carrying out of non-approved conversions to Land Rover vehicles.

Land Rover strongly advise against

making any modifications to the suspension or steering system. This could seriously affect the handling and stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control or roll-over.

parts and accessories that have been developed and tested to the same stringent standards as the original components will safeguard the continued reliability, safety and performance of your vehicle.

To augment the vehicle's already impressive performance, a comprehensive range of Land Rover approved spare parts and accessories is available, enabling the vehicle to fulfil a wide variety of roles, and enhancing and protecting the vehicle in the many tasks to which it can be applied.

Land Rover parts are the only parts built to original equipment specifications and approved by Land Rover designers; this means that every single part and accessory has been rigorously tested by the same engineering team that designed and built the vehicle and can therefore be guaranteed for twelve months with unlimited mileage.

A full list and description of all accessories is available from your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Keys and remote controls

USING THE KEY

E85174

You have been supplied with two sets of keys comprising:

• A black key for operating the starter switch and the door locks.

• A smaller, metal key, to operate the fuel filler cap lock. See REFUELLING (page 90).

Insert the black key into the driver's door lock and turn it towards the rear of the vehicle to lock and towards the front of the vehicle to unlock.

If the doors are locked with the key, the engine will be immobilised, but the alarm system is not armed.

Only unlock the doors using the key, if they were locked using the key. Unlocking the doors with the key may not disarm the alarm. The alarm must be disarmed using the remote control.

Note: On vehicles not fitted with central locking, the key must be used to lock and unlock each door individually.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

Note: The radio frequency used by your remote control may be used by other devices. For example: amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, or other remote control devices. This may cause the frequency to be jammed, and prevent your remote control from operating correctly.

Environmental conditions can affect the operation of remote controls and the operating range may vary considerably depending on the vehicle's location.

CAUTION

The tailgate is not a load-bearing surface.

E86818

Mislock

If one of the doors, the bonnet or the taildoor are not shut fully when the remote control lock button is pressed, the hazard lamps will fail to flash, indicating a mislock. If this occurs, the alarm system will not be fully armed. On vehicles fitted with central door locking, the doors will not lock in the event of a mislock.

Shut the open aperture. The hazard lamps will flash and the alarm system will be fully armed.

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.

To latch the tailgate:

• Lift the tailgate and locate over both the latch plates as shown.

• Pivot the latch plates upwards and forwards through 90 degrees.

• Slide the latch plates down to secure.

Reverse the process to open the tailgate.

Page 35

Alarm

ARMING THE ALARM

The alarm system is automatically armed, and the engine immobilised,

when the remote lock button is pressed. The hazard lamps will flash to indicate that the alarm is armed.

Once armed, the alarm will sound if:-

• a door, the bonnet or the taildoor are

opened.

• movement is detected within the vehicle

interior.

• the vehicle battery is disconnected.

• an attempt is made to disconnect the alarm

siren.

Note: If the alarm is armed and a window or the sunroof are left open the alarm will sound due to movement of air currents.

Alarm indicator

E85180

The alarm status is displayed by the indicator in the speedometer.

• Indicator off - alarm disarmed.

• Indicator flashes rapidly for 10 seconds

when the remote lock button is pressed, then adjusts to a slower frequency - the alarm has been armed.

• If the indicator fails to adjust to a slower frequency after the initial 10 second period, the remote control battery needs replacing.

• Indicator flashes rapidly when the alarm is disarmed - the alarm has been triggered.

• Indicator flashes slowly - the engine is immobilised, but the alarm is disarmed.

• Indicator illuminates (without flashing) for 10 seconds before adjusting to a slow frequency flash - the driver's door is not closed.

Engine immobilisation

Engine immobilisation prevents the engine from being started without a valid key and remote control and is activated whenever the alarm is armed using the remote control. In addition, the immobiliser activates automatically under the following conditions:

• Thirty seconds after the starter switch has been turned off and the driver's door is opened.

• Five minutes after the starter switch is turned off or after the alarm system is disarmed (if the starter switch has not been turned on).

Note: Details on how to deactivate engine immobilisation are given later in this section. See DISARMING THE ALARM (page 36).

Page 36

Alarm

DISARMING THE ALARM

When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control, the alarm is

automatically disabled and the engine is remobilised. The hazard lamps will flash once to indicate that the alarm is disabled.

Note: If the remote control is lost, damaged or fails to operate, it is necessary to enter the emergency key access code, to disarm the alarm and deactivate engine immobilisation.

Deactivating engine immobilisation

Engine immobilisation is deactivated automatically whenever the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control. Engine immobilisation is also deactivated when the starter switch is turned to position II, provided the remote control is on the same key ring as the key and in close proximity to the switch.

If, however, the remote control is damaged, or fails to operate, immobilisation can only be deactivated by entering the emergency key access code.

Emergency key access

Note: If the remote control cannot be used, it is impossible to disarm the alarm in the normal way. The alarm will sound (for 30 second durations) as soon as a door is opened and will continue until the code has been entered.

To deactivate engine immobilisation manually, in the event of remote control failure, follow the procedure below to enter the unique four digit emergency key access code. The code for your vehicle is recorded on the Security card.

E85179

1. Remove the remote control from the key

ring and keep it well away from the starter switch while entering the code.

2. Unlock the driver's door using the key,

open the door and enter the vehicle. Shut the driver's door.

3. Insert the key in the starter switch, turn and hold the key in position II until the alarm sounds. Then, turn off the starter switch and open and close the driver's door.

4. Turn the starter switch to position II the required number of times to enter the first digit of the code (if the digit is 4, turn the key to position II and then back to position

0 four times).

5. Open and close the driver's door (this will

enter the first digit of the code).

6. Turn the starter switch to position II and back to 0 the required number of times to enter the second digit of the code, then open and close the driver's door.

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, then open and close the driver's door.

Page 37

Alarm

8. Turn the starter switch to position II and back to 0 the required number of times to enter the fourth digit of the code, then finally, open and close the driver's door one more time.

If the code has been entered correctly, the alarm indicator 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 alarm indicator 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 five seconds.

After three failed entry attempts, the security system invokes a delay period of 30 minutes, during which the system will not accept further attempts to enter a code.

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.

Deactivating the alarm when triggered

If the alarm has been triggered it can be deactivated by pressing either of the remote control buttons.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

E94110

WARNINGS

Head restraints are designed to support

the head, not the back of the neck. The restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain rearward movement of the head in a collision. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

Adjust the head restraint so that the top

of the head restraint is above the centre line of the head. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. See SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION (page 38).

Do not drive, or carry passengers with

the head restraints removed from occupied seats. The absence of a correctly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

WARNINGS

Never adjust the head restraints while

the vehicle is in motion. An incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

Raising

To raise a head restraint, pull up on the restraint until it is in the required position.

Lowering

To lower a head restraint, press the release button (arrowed) before lowering the head restraint to the required position.

REAR SEATS

WARNINGS

Always ensure that objects carried

within the vehicle are secured properly. Unsecured items can cause death or serious injury in the event of an impact or sudden manoeuvre.

Never allow passengers to travel in the

load space under any circumstances. All vehicle occupants should be seated correctly, and wear a seat belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so will greatly increase the risk of death and serious injury in the event of an accident or heavy braking.

The third row seats can be folded individually as required to increase loadspace. The split fold second-row rear seat can be folded completely to accommodate large loads, or partially to accommodate long loads and still retain seating for passengers.

Page 42

Seats

Folding the rear seats

WARNING

Ensure that if the rear head rests are

removed they are stored securely. Never leave them loose in the vehicle, as they can cause serious injury or death in the event of an accident, heavy braking, or sudden manoeuvres.

CAUTION

To prevent marking the seats, ensure that the seat belt buckles are in the

stowed position before folding the seats.

Second-row seats

CAUTION

Before folding the second-row seats, it

may be necessary to adjust the front seats forwards and adjust the front seat backrests to a more upright position. This prevents damage caused by the folded second-row seats rubbing against the front seats.

1. Fully lower the head restraints.

2. Push the catch down to release the seat

back, then fold the seat back forwards.

3. Pull the strap towards the front of the

vehicle to pivot the seat into the stowed position.

4. If required, repeat the process for the rest

of the second-row seat.

5. If folding the double seat or the whole

second-row, fold the floor-mounted latch striker bar(s) into the floor, to create a flat loading area.

Page 46

Seat belts

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Seat belts

E82942

WARNINGS

Seat belts are designed to bear upon

the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly

as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

Care should be taken to avoid

contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.

The belt should be replaced if webbing

becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

It is essential to replace the entire

assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

Belts should not be worn with the

straps twisted.

WARNINGS

Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp

items between your person and the seat belt. In an impact the pressure from the seat belt on such items can cause them to break, which in turn may cause death or serious injuries.

Each belt assembly must only be used

by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap.

The occupants of the front seats should

not travel with the seat back at more than 30 degrees from upright. Doing so will reduce the protection afforded by the seat belt.

Seat belt safety

WARNINGS

Seat belts should be worn by all vehicle

occupants, for every journey no matter how short. failure to do so will greatly increase the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

Never wear just the lap belt or just the

shoulder belt of a lap/shoulder diagonal seat belt. Both of these actions are extremely dangerous and may increase your risk of injury.

No modifications or additions should

be made which prevent the seat belt mechanism from taking up slack, or prevent the seat belt being adjusted to remove slack. A slack seat belt offers a greatly reduced level of occupant protection in an impact.

If any damage, wear, cuts, defects, or

impaired operation are noted with the seat belts, the vehicle should be taken to a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised repairer for immediate attention. Do not use the vehicle if the seat belts cannot be operated correctly.

Page 47

Seat belts

WARNINGS

When using seat belts to restrain items

other than occupants, take care to ensure that the belts are not damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.

Care must be taken to avoid

contaminating the seat belt webbing, and seat belt mechanisms with any chemicals, liquids, grit, dirt, or cleaning products. If the seat belts do become contaminated they should be replaced immediately. Contaminated seat belts my not operate correctly in an impact and cannot be relied upon.

Seat belt checks

Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a fault, and the belt should be gently eased out from the upper anchorage.

The seat belts should be inspected regularly to check for fraying, cuts, or wear to the webbing, and the condition and security of the mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting points.

Checks

• 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 seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that it unreels smoothly with no snatches or snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again checking for smooth operation.

• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the tongue plate and give a quick forward pull. The mechanism must lock and prevent any further unreeling.

If any of the seat belts fail to meet those criteria, immediately contact you Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

E85194

1. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensure that the

seat position, and your position on the seat are correct. The belt should lay flat across the pelvis, chest, and mid-point of the collar bone between the neck and shoulder.

2. With the seat belt correctly positioned,

place the metal tongue into the buckle nearest to you. Press it in until a click is heard.

Releasing the seat belts

Note: When releasing the seat belt it is advisable to hold the belt before pressing the release button. This will prevent the belt from retracting too quickly.

To release the seat belt, press the red button.

Page 48

Seat belts

USING SEAT BELTS DURING PREGNANCY

E82643

WARNINGS

Position the seat belt correctly for the

safety of the mother and unborn child. Never wear just the lap strap, and never sit on the lap strap whilst using just the shoulder strap. Both of these actions are extremely dangerous, and may increase your risk of serious injury in the event of an accident or during emergency braking.

Never place anything between you and

the seat belt in an attempt to cushion the impact in the event of an accident. It can be dangerous, and will reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing injury.

Position the lap strap comfortably across the hips beneath the abdomen. Place the diagonal part of the seat belt between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Ensure that the seat belt is not slack or twisted.

Page 49

Child safety

CHILD SEATS

WARNINGS

Crash statistics show that children are safest when properly restrained on the

rear seat.

Do not use a forward facing child seat

until the child using it is above the minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child's spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.

Do not allow a baby or infant to be held

or carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight by as much as thirty times, making it impossible to hold onto the child. Children typically require the use of a booster seat appropriate to their age and size, thereby enabling the seat belts to be properly fitted, reducing the risk of injury in a crash. Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.

Do not use a child seat that hooks over

the seat back. This type of seat cannot be satisfactorily secured and is unlikely to be safe for your child.

It is very important for all infants and children under 12 years of age to be restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size.

Child restraint check list

Every time a child travels in the vehicle observe the following:-

• Use appropriate child restraints.

• Carefully follow the restraint system

manufacturers instructions.

• Adjust the harnesses for every child on every trip.

• Ensure that all slack is removed from the adult seatbelt.

• Always check the security of the child restraint.

• Do not dress a child in bulky clothing, or place any objects/padding between the child and the restraint.

• Regularly check the fit and condition of child restraints. If the fit is poor, or wear/damage is visible replace the restraint immediately.

• Set a good example - always wear your seat belt.

Note: The information contained in the following table may not be applicable to all countries. If you are in any doubt regarding the type and fitment of child seats seek advice from your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

In a situation where a child is too large to fit into a child safety seat, but is still too small to safely fit the three point belt properly, a booster seat is recommended for maximum safety. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for fitting and use, then adjust the seat belt to suit.

CHILD SAFETY LOCKS

E85681

Child safety locks are fitted to the rear doors to allow you to prevent accidental opening of the doors when the vehicle is in motion.

If children are to be carried in the rear seat positions, it is recommended that the rear door interior handles are disabled.

Note: For convenience, the rear door interior handles should be re-enabled when carrying adult passengers in the rear seat positions.

To change the child lock settings:-

1. Open the door to access the child safety

lock.

2. Move the locking lever up to enable, or

down to disable the interior door handle, as required.

Starting the engine

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

WARNING

Never start the engine, or leave it

running, when the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Exhaust gasses are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and illness if inhaled.

CAUTION

You should only operate the starter for a

maximum of 30 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, do not continue cranking as this will discharge the battery.

E85232

Note: Do not press the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.

1. Insert the black key into the starter switch and turn to position II.

2. Wait until the glow plug warning indicator extinguishes. The waiting time will vary according to engine temperature.

3. Fully depress the clutch pedal and turn the starter switch to position III to operate the starter motor. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

If the engine stalls or fails to start, you must return the starter switch to position I before attempting to restart.

Page 81

Transmission

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

CAUTIONS

Never attempt to engage reverse gear

whilst the vehicle is in forward motion. This may result in serious transmission damage and costly repairs.

Do not rest your hand on the gear lever

while driving - this may cause premature wear to the gear selector mechanism.

Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal.

Keep your foot clear of the clutch pedal, except when changing gear.

The transmission consists of a six-speed main gearbox and a two-speed (high and low) transfer box. A centre differential in the transfer box distributes the drive to the front and rear axles, providing permanent four-wheel drive.

TRANSFER GEARBOX

E85234

The transfer gearbox is used to select the high or low range gears. It also has a neutral position between high and low.

E85233

The gear lever is spring loaded, and when in neutral sits between third and fourth gear positions. Extra pressure will be required to move across to reverse.

High range

High range should be used for all normal road driving and also for off-road driving across dry, level terrain.

Low range

Low range should only be used in situations where low speed manoeuvring is necessary (e.g. 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 for normal road driving.

Page 82

Transmission

Neutral

In transfer neutral, drive is not transmitted to the road wheels, regardless of the main gear lever position. Use transfer neutral when the vehicle is being towed.

Using the transfer gearbox

A gear range change can be performed with the vehicle stationary or with the vehicle on the move, as follows:

Stationary method

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running:

1. Depress the clutch.

2. Move the transfer lever from the current

range setting into the neutral position (e.g. from high to neutral).

3. Move the transfer lever from neutral into

the desired range setting (e.g. from neutral to low).

If there is resistance when trying to engage the gear range, do not force the lever. Instead:

1. With the clutch depressed and the transfer

gearbox still in neutral, select 2nd gear in the main gearbox.

2. Release the clutch momentarily, then

depress the clutch again and attempt to select the desired range.

3. Select the appropriate gear in the main

gearbox to pull away.

Changing from high to low on the move

With the vehicle slowing to a stop and travelling no faster than 8 km/h (5 mph):

1. Depress the clutch and move the transfer

lever into neutral.

2. Just before the road wheels stop turning

(with the clutch depressed), push the lever fully forward into low range.

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

Changing from low to high on the move

1. Apply slight rearward pressure to the

transfer lever, in preparation for the range change.

2. Then, in three simultaneous moves,

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

3. Release the clutch pedal for approximately

three seconds, before pressing it again and moving the lever firmly into the high range position.

4. Select a suitable main gear in the main

gearbox, release the clutch and continue driving as normal.

The differential lock

CAUTION

Do not engage the differential lock if one

or more of the wheels is slipping - this could damage the transmission. If wheels are slipping, ease off the accelerator before engaging the lock.

Do not engage the differential lock from the transfer neutral (N) position.

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.

Page 83

Transmission

E85235

Your vehicle is fitted with a lockable differential between the front and rear propshafts. When the differential is locked, both axles will rotate at the same speed. The differential should be locked when driving off-road on loose and slippery surfaces.

With the differential unlocked, the different running requirements of the two axles can be accommodated, as they can rotate independently. The differential should be unlocked for all normal road driving or as soon as a hard grippy surface is reached when driving off-road.

The differential 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 that the vehicle is travelling in a straight line, on firm ground, without wheel slip.

Locking the differential

Press the clutch pedal and move the transfer gear lever to the left from either H (high) or L (low) (the warning indicator in the instrument panel illuminates).

Unlocking the differential

Press the clutch pedal and move the transfer lever to the right, to either the H (high) or L (low) position, as required. The warning indicator should extinguish when the differential lock is disengaged. If the indicator does not extinguish, transmission wind-up may be present.

Differential lock warning indicator

The amber warning indicator illuminates when the differential

lock is actually engaged (rather than when it has been selected). Similarly, it will only extinguish after the differential lock has actually disengaged. This accounts for a slight delay between deselection and the warning light extinguishing.

Note: If the warning indicator does not extinguish after the differential lock has been deselected, some transmission wind-up may be present.

Transmission wind-up

If transmission wind-up is suspected and when it is safe to do so, reverse the vehicle a short distance and then drive forward. This should unwind the transmission and the differential lock warning indicator should extinguish.

If, after two or three attempts to unwind the transmission have been made and the warning indicator remains illuminated, consult your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as possible.

Brake pads require a period of bedding in when new. Drive with extra caution for the first 800 km (500 miles) to avoid the need for heavy braking.

Wet conditions

Driving through heavy rain or water can have an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under those circumstances, it is recommended that you lightly apply the brakes intermittently to dry the brakes.

WARNINGS

ABS cannot overcome the physical

limitations of braking distance. Nor can it overcome the lack of grip on a road surface, aquaplaning on water for example.

Braking distance is increased on a

slippery surface. This applies to all vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.

The driver should not be tempted to

take risks when driving, in the hope that ABS will correct errors of judgement. In all cases, it remains the driver's responsibility to drive with due care and attention, paying particular attention to the effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) allows maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents the road wheels locking. This allows the driver to retain steering control during heavy braking under most road conditions.

During emergency braking conditions ABS constantly monitors the speed of each wheel. ABS varies the brake pressure to individual wheels, according to the grip available. The constant alteration of brake pressure can be felt as a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal. This is not a cause for concern, as it is designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS is operating.

ABS warning indicator

If this amber warning indicator illuminates, drive with extra caution,

avoid heavy braking where possible, and seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.

Page 86

Brakes

ABS and off-road driving

ABS will operate when driving off-road, however it may be unwise to rely on its assistance under some conditions.

Stopping distances will be increased when travelling over rough, or bumpy terrain.

Soft surfaces

On soft or deep surfaces, such as powdery snow, sand or gravel, the braking distance required will be increased. This is because the natural action of a locked wheel (which cannot happen when ABS is operating) is to form a wedge of surface material in front of the wheel, which reduces the stopping distance.

Steep slopes

If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery slope, it may begin to slide even with the brakes applied. This is because without wheel rotation the ABS cannot determine vehicle movement.

To counteract this, briefly release the brakes to allow some wheel rotation. Then re-apply the brakes to allow ABS to gain control.

PARKING BRAKE

Parking on a slope

Facing uphill

If the vehicle is parked facing uphill, select first gear and turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels face away from the kerb.

Facing downhill

If the vehicle is parked facing downhill, select reverse gear and turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels face towards the kerb.

Applying the parking brake

WARNING

Ensure that the parking brake is applied fully before releasing the parking brake

lever.

Driving hints

RUNNING-IN

The engine, gearbox, tyres and brakes, need time to bed-in. During the first 800 km (500 miles), it is essential that the vehicle is driven with consideration for the running-in process. During the running in period, the following advice should be followed.

• Limit the engine speed to a maximum of 3000 rpm and the road speed to a maximum of 80 km/h (50 mph).

• Do not use full accelerator pedal travel and use the gears to avoid over-revving or labouring the engine.

• Avoid rapid acceleration or heavy braking wherever possible.

• Ensure that servicing is carried out on time and follow any advice regarding use in arduous conditions.

Note: The advice given for running in will aid fuel economy and should be adopted as general driving practice, even after the running in period.

ECONOMICAL DRIVING

There are two main factors which influence fuel economy, the way the vehicle is driven, and maintenance.

Driving tips for economy

• Avoid unnecessary journeys, especially short stop-start trips.

• Accelerate smoothly and gently from a stand still.

• Use the gears to avoid labouring or over-revving the engine.

• Allow time to brake gently and smoothly.

• Be aware of traffic and road conditions

ahead and take action in time to avoid hard braking or acceleration.

• When stationary apply the parking brake, and select neutral.

• Turn off the air conditioning when not needed.

Maintenance and fuel economy

Regular servicing by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer, along with regular checks by the driver, are essential for vehicle longevity and fuel economy.

The condition of the engine (oils, filters, settings etc.), tyre pressures and wheel alignment, will all have a bearing on fuel economy. For this reason, it is essential that the vehicle is checked regularly by the driver and serviced by an approved Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer at the correct intervals.

Note: If you are in any doubt about the maintenance requirements, intervals or checks required, contact your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

Fuel and refuelling

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FUEL QUALITY

WARNINGS

Petroleum gasses are highly

flammable, have a low flash point, and are explosive, especially in confined spaces. Avoid exposing the gasses to any potential sources of ignition as the resulting fire and explosion may cause serious injuries and/or death.

Only use containers specifically

designed for carrying fuel, and always remove them from the vehicle to fill them. Failure to do so may result in spillage, and cause a fire.

Switch off the engine when refuelling,

as it is both a source of extreme temperatures, and electrical sparks. The resulting fire and explosion may cause serious injury and death.

Switch off any personal electronic

devices such as mobile phones, or music players. They have the potential to cause electrical sparks. The resulting fire and explosion may cause serious injury and death.

Do not smoke, use a naked flame, or

cause sparks. The resulting fire and explosion may cause serious injury and death.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Overfilling

may cause spillage when the vehicle is driven. Spillage may also occur if the fuel expands in high ambient temperatures.

Note: Land Rover vehicles are capable of running with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel, in accordance with European Standard EN590.

Sulphur content

The Sulphur content of diesel used in Land Rover vehicles should not exceed 0.3%.

In some countries, diesel will contain higher levers of Sulphur, which will require reduced service intervals to reduce the effects on engine components. If in doubt, contact a local Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Avoid running out of fuel. Doing so can cause damage to the vehicle's engine,

fuel and emission control systems.

Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a minimum of 4 litres (0.8 gallons) will be required to restart the engine. The vehicle will need to be driven 1.6-5 km (1-3 miles) in order to reset the engine management and monitoring systems.

Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel, seeking qualified assistance is advisable.

Load carrying

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS

CAUTION

Always use an approved roof rack and follow the manufacturer's fitting

instructions carefully.

A full list of approved roof rack systems and accessories is available from your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Roof rack safety

Always observe the following precautions:

• The maximum roof load is 150 kg (330 lb).

When calculating the roof load, the weight of the roof rack and any load carrier must be included.

• The load ratings of Land Rover approved roof racks differ. Please check the maximum load rating for the particular roof rack system being used and do not exceed this rating.

• Ensure that maximum axle weights and the Gross vehicle Weight are not exceeded with the roof rack loaded.

• 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.

Towing

TOWING A TRAILER

E85630

WARNINGS

Never exceed the maximum weights for

either the vehicle or the trailer. Doing so can cause accelerated wear and damage to the vehicle. It can also adversely affect vehicle stability and braking, which in turn can lead to loss of control and increased braking distance resulting in a rollover or crash.

To preserve handling and stability, only

fit Land Rover approved towing accessories.

Never use towing eyes, or lashing

points to tow a trailer. They have not been designed for this purpose, and doing so may cause them to fail resulting in injury or death.

Note: It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the towing vehicle, and the trailer are being used correctly, and in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and any applicable legislation.

Trailer electrical connection

CAUTION

Only connect approved electrical circuits,

which are in good condition to the trailer socket. Connecting incorrect, or faulty circuits may seriously damage the vehicle's electrical circuits.

The vehicle's electrical system has been designed to support all towing requirements, and comply with legal requirements for the specific territory in which the vehicle is first sold.

LEVELLING

E85613

To maintain vehicle stability, it is essential that the trailer is loaded so that it remains parallel to the ground. This is particularly important when towing twin axled trailers.

Page 95

Towing

RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS

Maximum permissible towing

weights

Unbraked trailers 750 kg (1653 lbs) 500 kg (1102 lbs)

Trailers with overrun brakes 3500 kg (7716 lbs) 1000 kg (2205 lbs)

Trailers with fully coupled brakes 4000 kg (8818 lbs) 1500 kg (3307 lbs)

Nose weight 150 kg (330 lbs) 150 kg (330 lbs)

WARNING

Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight

(GVW), maximum rear axle weight, maximum trailer weight, or nose weight. Exceeding any of these limits could cause instability and loss of control. See WEIGHTS (page 146).

Note: When calculating rear axle loading, remember that the trailer nose weight, the load in the vehicle's luggage area, weight on the roof rack, and the weight of rear seat passengers must all be added together.

ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS

• The trailer should be parallel to the ground when loaded.

• When calculating the laden weight of the trailer remember to include the weight of the trailer, plus the weight of the load.

• If the load can be divided between the vehicle and trailer, loading more weight into the vehicle will generally improve stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 146).

• Ensure that all applicable regulations and legislation are complied with when loading and towing a trailer.

On-road Off-road

• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing vehicle to those for maximum vehicle loading conditions. See WEIGHTS (page 146).

• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to trailer manufacturer's recommendations.

• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is limited to 150 kg (330 lbs).

• If it is necessary to increase the nose weight, up to a maximum of 250 kg (550 lbs) the vehicle load should be reduced accordingly. This ensures that the GVW, and maximum rear axle load are not exceeded.

• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or secondary coupling is used. Refer to the trailer manufacturer's instructions for guidance.

• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.

• Check the operation of all trailer lights.

WARNING

Do not loop the breakaway cable over the tow ball as it may slide off.

Vehicle care

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

E79400

CAUTIONS

Some high pressure cleaning systems

are sufficiently powerful to penetrate door and window seals, and damage trim and door locks. Never aim the water jet directly at the engine air intake, heater air intakes, body seals (doors, sunroof, windows etc.) or at any components which may be damaged (lights, mirrors, exterior trim etc.).

Do not use a power wash system in the

engine bay area as it may damage fragile components, electrical systems etc.

Make sure you read and comply with all

warnings and instructions supplied with any cleaning products.

Never use cleaning products which are

not approved for use on vehicles.

Washing the vehicle

CAUTION

Substances which are corrosive, such as

bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, and industrial fall out, can damage the vehicle's paintwork. Any such deposits should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage to the vehicle's paintwork.

Remove heavy deposits of mud and dirt with a hose before washing the vehicle.

Wash the vehicle frequently using a sponge and generous quantities of cold or lukewarm water containing a suitable car shampoo. Rinse thoroughly, and dry with a chamois leather, or synthetic substitute.

Removing tar spots

Use white spirit to remove tar spots and stubborn grease stains from paintwork. Make sure that after using white spirit, the area is washed immediately with soapy water to remove all traces of spirit.

Underbody maintenance

Corrosive materials used on highways to control snow and ice, as well as accumulations from off-road driving or wading in salt water, can collect on the vehicle's underbody. If these materials are not removed accelerated corrosion can occur. Regularly flush the underbody with plain water, and pay particular attention to areas where mud and debris collect.

If damage or corrosion are detected, have the vehicle checked by a Land Rover Dealer/ Authorised Repairer as soon as possible.

Glass and mirrors

The rear screen, and mirror glass should only be cleaned using soapy water and a soft cloth. This will avoid damaging the reflective surface of the mirror, and the heating elements and antenna in the rear screen.

Never use abrasive cleaning products, or metal ice scrapers on the mirrors or the front and rear screens.

Page 99

Vehicle care

Canopy

CAUTION

If the canopy is stained, this should be

cleaned within 24 hours of the incident occurring, otherwise the stain may become permanent.

• Use a soft brush to remove dust and flaking dirt from the canopy (not the windows), then soak with a mild soap and water solution to soften encrusted dirt and remove stains, prior to washing.

• Wash using a mild soap and water solution, before rinsing the canopy with clean lukewarm or cold water. Rinse until all traces of soap are removed.

• Never use spirit, petrol or chlorine based cleaning agents, or wash/wax compounds to clean the canopy and windows - wax polishes will become ingrained in the textured finish.

• Never use an automatic car wash, or a high pressure hose.

• Do not aim jets of water at zips or seals.

• Ensure the canopy is dry before folding or

removing.

• Improper cleaning and lack of care may cause damage to the canopy and window panels, resulting in water penetration.

Cleaning after off-road driving

CAUTION

Make sure that the areas around air

intakes and the front grille are clean and clear of debris. Failure to do so may cause the engine to overheat, leading to severe engine damage.

Make sure that the vehicle underside is cleaned as soon as possible, after driving off-road. Further information on cleaning after off-road use is available in the off-road driving handbook. This can be found on-line at

http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

WARNING

Make sure you read all of the

information and instructions for use provided with cleaning products. Some products contain substances that are harmful, and can cause health problems if used incorrectly.

CAUTION

Some products, if used incorrectly can cause damage to the interior surfaces of

the vehicle.

Plastic and cloth

WARNING

Do not polish the instrument pack.

Polished surfaces are reflective, and may interfere with the driver's view.

Clean plastic or cloth faced surfaces with warm water and non-detergent soap. Then wipe clean with a soft cloth.

Page 100

Vehicle care

Carpets and fabrics

Only clean with a dilute solution of an approved upholstery cleaner. Test all cleaners on a concealed area before use.
