Introduction

This handbook covers all current versions of Land Rover Discovery petrol and diesel models and, together with the other books in your literature pack, provides information that you will 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 Discovery 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.

*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.

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.

Quick Overview

NOTE: Some music CD manufacturers are using data encryption to 'copy-protect' their recordings and prevent the production of pirate copies. These CDs differ from the internationally agreed CD audio standard, RedBook, a standard that serves as the operating basis for all CD players and changers.

Copy-protected CDs may not play in your Audio unit or CD changer or may be played subject to various limitations, e.g., sound quality may be impaired.

If you do experience a problem, try the CD in other players before contacting the CD vendor.

Filling Station Guide

FUEL FILLER

The fuel filler is located in the rear right-hand wing. With the starter switch turned to position ‘0’ or ‘I’, press the binnacle switch to release the filler flap.

The filler cap 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.

When replacing, tighten the cap clockwise until you hear the fuel cap ratchet click at least three times.

TYRE PRESSURES

Air pressure naturally increases in warm tyres (after the vehicle has been driven for a while). If you have to check warm tyres, you should expect the pressures to have increased between 30 and 40 kPa (4 to 6 lbf/in2). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out of the tyres in order to match the recommended pressures.

Loading condition

Pressure - kPa (lbf/in2)

Normal operating conditions Front 211 kPa (30 lbf/in2)

Rear 262 kPa (38 lbf/in

Vehicle loaded to maximum gross vehicle weight

Front 211 kPa (30 lbf/in Rear 322 kPa (46 lbf/in

NOTE: For more detailed information, see ‘WHEELS & TYRES’, page 236.

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.

This symbol identifies those features that

can be adjusted or disabled/enabled by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer

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 34).

• 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 191).

• Radio security code number: This unique

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).

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.

Page 21

Before You Drive

SERVICE PORTFOLIO

The Service Portfolio book included in your literature pack contains important vehicle identification information, details of your entitlement under the terms of the Land Rover Warranty, as well as useful consumer advice.

Most important of all, however, is the section on maintenance. This outlines the servicing requirements for your vehicle and also includes the service record slips, which the Dealer/Authorised Repairer should sign and stamp to certify that the routine services have been carried out at the recommended intervals.

WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE

Warning labels attached to your vehicle bearing this symbol mean: DO NOT touch or adjust components until you have read the relevant instructions in the handbook.

Warning labels showing this symbol indicate that the ignition system utilises very high voltages. DO NOT touch any ignition components while the starter switch is turned on!

Before You Drive

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).

• Consider evacuating passengers

through nearside doors onto the verge, as a precaution in case your vehicle is accidentally struck by other traffic.

Locks & Alarm

ALARM SYSTEM

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. There are also a number of additional security features, some of which are selectable options and some are standard features of the vehicle. In order to ensure maximum security and operating convenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the features and alternatives available, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY ALWAYS SUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE HANDSET (except when passengers are to be left inside or if it is necessary to leave a window or sunroof open).

Using the remote handset

H4402

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.

Locking

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

• all doors are superlocked (see

‘Superlocking’, page 31)

• engine immobilised

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, bonnet and taildoor)

• interior space protection 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.

* activated

Page 31

Locks & Alarm

With the key:

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

• all doors locked (not superlocked)

• engine immobilised

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the

doors, bonnet and taildoor)

• NO INTERIOR SPACE PROTECTION The direction indicator lights flash once to

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

Unlocking

With the remote handset:

• Press the unlock (Land Rover) button once

to disarm the alarm and unlock the driver's door only (see ‘Single point entry’, page 32).

• Press the unlock button twice to disarm the

alarm and unlock ALL the doors.

In either case, the direction indicator lights flash once and the interior lights illuminate.

With the key:

While the doors can be unlocked using the key, this method is NOT RECOMMENDED depending on the specification of the vehicle the alarm may not be disarmed.

NOTE: If the handset does not operate after the vehicle has been parked for a long period, unlock the driver's door with the key and then try again. If the handset still fails to operate, enter the EKA code, see ‘Emergency key access’, page 34.

Superlocking

Provided all the doors are fully closed, the Superlocking feature is activated automatically whenever the vehicle is locked using the remote

handset. Superlocking immobilises the interior door handles, thereby preventing an intruder from gaining entry by smashing a window and reaching inside the vehicle to operate the door handles.

Note that locking with the key will not activate superlocking.

WARNING

For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if passengers are to remain inside the vehicle in an emergency they would not be able to escape. Also, any movement from within the vehicle would activate the alarm, if interior space protection has been activated

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

H2546

This light provides information about the status of the alarm system, as follows:

When the vehicle is locked: 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.

Page 32

Locks & Alarm

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.

If the remote handset battery power is low: The light will flash rapidly for ten seconds after the handset has been used when the driver's door is opened.

Mislock

If the driver's door is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound once, indicating a mislock. In this case, none of the doors will lock and the alarm system will not be armed.

If a passenger door or other aperture is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound once, indicating a mislock. However, the ‘partial arming’ attributes of the security system will enable as much of the system to be armed as possible (all fully closed door or bonnet apertures will be protected, but an open door will not!). As soon as the open aperture is closed, the system will automatically revert to a fully armed state.

NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open door, the superlocking and interior space protection

Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

* features will not be activated.

The mislock audible warning can be disabled by a Land Rover

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

Headlight courtesy delay

When locking the vehicle, the remote handset can be used to illuminate the headlights for 30 seconds. At night this will make it easier for you to unlock the garage, or walk to your house in safety. Operate this feature at the same time as you lock the car, by keeping the handset LOCK button pressed for more than 2 seconds (the doors lock and alarm system arms in the usual way).

To extinguish the lights before the 30-second illumination period has expired, press the lock button again.

The headlight courtesy delay can be disabled by a Land Rover

Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Single point entry

This is a personal security feature, which enables the driver's door only to be unlocked, leaving the other doors in a locked state. It can be operated by the remote handset as follows:

• press the unlock button once to unlock the

driver's door.

• press a second time (within one minute) to

unlock the remaining doors.

Single point entry can be disabled by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

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.

Page 33

Locks & Alarm

Interior locking switch

H4403

This is a personal security feature which allows the driver to lock (or unlock) all the doors from inside the vehicle (while driving or with the vehicle stationary). Press the lower part of the switch to lock (the alarm will not be armed), and the upper part to unlock.

NOTE: If the locks have already been superlocked, the switch will not release the locks.

Interior door handles and door sill locking buttons

From inside the vehicle, each door can be individually locked by depressing the appropriate door sill button. However, doors cannot be unlocked by raising the sill button.

Use the door handles to unlock, as follows:

• First operation of the door handle unlocks

the door.

• Second operation of the door handle opens

the door.

Interior space protection

H2468

Interior space protection is designed to protect the interior of the vehicle from intrusion (entry by a thief through a smashed window, for example). Two pairs of 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:

Using the key 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.

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 34

Locks & Alarm

Drive-away door locking

This security feature locks all the doors automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 7 km/h (4 mph), and unlocks the doors as soon as the starter switch is turned off (provided the doors had previously been locked by the drive-away door locking feature).

Note that drive-away door locking is not selectable by the driver, and that operation of the door locks by any other means (interior locking switch on the fascia panel, for example) will disable the drive-away door locking function for the remainder of the journey, or until the starter switch is turned off and on again.

Drive-away door locking can be selected or deselected by a Land Rover

Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

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 and prevents the engine from being started unless the GENUINE handset key is inserted into the starter switch. 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.

NOTE: The engine will be re-mobilised automatically whenever the genuine handset key is inserted into the starter switch and turned to position ‘II’.

Emergency key access

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

Page 35

Locks & Alarm

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

When entering a code:

• ENSURE each key movement is carried

out with care and precision and turned to the full extent of its travel.

• After turning the key to either the lock

or unlock positions, make sure it is FULLY returned to the centre (vertical) position.

• An interval of 10 seconds or more

between key turns, or the key being held in a locked or unlocked position for 5 seconds or more will cancel an entry attempt, in which case you must start again with operation 1.

1. Ensure that all doors are closed, then using the key turn the driver's door lock to the UNLOCK position (towards the front of the car) and hold in

this position for at least 5 seconds until the alarm sounder sounds once). Then return the key to the centre position. It is now possible to use the key to enter the separate numerical values of the four numbers that make up the emergency key access code.

2. Enter the FIRST number of

the code. If the first number is

4, turn the key (towards the

front of the car) to the UNLOCK

position 4 times. Ensure the

key is FULLY returned to the centre position after each turn.

3. Enter the SECOND number of the code. If the second

number is 3, turn the key (towards the rear) to the LOCK position 3 times. Remember; the key must be FULLY

returned to the centre position after each turn.

4. Enter the THIRD number of the code. If the third number is

12, turn the key to the UNLOCK position twelve times, ensuring that the key is FULLY returned to the centre position

after each turn.

5. Enter the FOURTH number of the code. If the fourth

number is 1, turn the key to the LOCK position once. Ensure the key is FULLY returned to the centre position.

6. Finally, turn the key to the UNLOCK position once more. If the code has been entered correctly, a double ‘bleep’ will sound (a single ‘bleep’ indicates that the code has

been entered incorrectly).

NOTE: If the Mislock audible warning has been deselected (by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer), the alarm sounder will not sound when an EKA code has been entered. Instead, the alarm indicator light on the instrument panel will flash once (for one second) to indicate a successful code entry.

There is now a five-minute delay before the alarm and engine immobiliser are deactivated.

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE YET!

Page 36

Locks & Alarm

7. Through the driver's door window, observe the anti-theft alarm indicator light on the instrument panel. If code entry was successful, this light will continue flashing (once every two seconds) for the five minute delay period.

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE until the full delay period has elapsed - this will be indicated by the anti-theft alarm indicator light extinguishing.

8. Now open the door, insert the key into the starter and turn the switch to position ‘II’ IMMEDIATELY! If the starter switch is not turned to position ‘II’ within 30 seconds of the indicator light extinguishing, the engine will automatically immobilise again.

If an incorrect code has been entered:

If an incorrect code has been entered, the alarm sounder will sound once and the anti-theft alarm indicator light will continue to flash. In this case, return to operation ‘1’ and re-enter the code.

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

REMOTE HANDSET BATTERY

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

• A gradual deterioration in range and

performance.

• The alarm indicator light in the instrument

panel will flash rapidly for 10 seconds after the driver's door is opened.

Always fit a Land Rover YWX10003L or a Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery (available from a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer).

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.

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.

Battery replacement

H2794

1. With the handset face down, insert the

blade of a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the rear of the handset (see inset) and prise the back upwards.

2. Insert the screwdriver blade as shown in

the right hand inset and then carefully slide it along the joint towards the key to release the back of the handset.

3. Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to

prise the battery from its mounting (see illustration), taking care to avoid touching the circuit board or the metal battery contacts.

4. Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct

polarity is maintained (‘+’ side facing up). Finger marks will adversely affect battery life; if possible, avoid touching the flat surfaces of the battery and wipe them clean before fitting.

5. Press the two halves of the handset firmly

together and ensure that both halves are fully joined to prevent dirt or moisture from entering the handset.

CHILD-PROOF LOCKS

H4405

Move the locking levers on the rear doors and taildoor down to engage the child locks.

With the child-proof locks engaged, neither the rear doors nor the taildoor can be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door being opened accidentally while the vehicle is moving.

WARNING

NEVER leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

The handset is now ready for use.

Locks & Alarm

DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH

H4406

An inertia switch, operational only with the starter switch in position ‘II’ and the alarm disarmed, prevents the doors centrally locking (or if the doors are locked, will unlock them) in the event of an accident or sudden impact.

When the switch operates, the direction indicator lights flash (if market permits), until the system is reset by turning the starter switch on and off, and opening and closing the driver's door.

Note that doors cannot be locked again until the switch is reset.

The inertia switch also cuts off the fuel supply (see ‘FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH’, page 120).

WARNING

Always check for fuel leaks before resetting the switch!

Seats

Returning the seat to the upright position

H2549

Push the seat assembly back onto the floor - the floor catches should latch with the base of the seat. Then raise the backrest.

If the backrest cannot be raised easily, DO NOT force it. This indicates that the seat base has not fully engaged with the floor catches (note that the seat assembly is designed to prevent the backrest from being raised unless the seat is properly secured to the floor).

With the seat base secure, the backrest can be raised and locked in position (none of the RED panel on the release lever should be visible when the backrest is correctly latched).

WARNING

After the seat is returned to the upright position, the latching mechanism should be checked and physically tested to ensure that both the seat base and backrest are secure before driving.

OCCASIONAL REAR SEATS

WARNING

Before driving with passengers seated in the occasional rear seats, for safety ensure that the floor latches are fully engaged.

Do not carry passengers in the occasional rear seats if a dog guard is fitted between the second row of seats and the loadspace.

WARNING

It is extremely dangerous to ride in the cargo area. In a collision, anyone riding in this area is more likely to be injured or killed. Do not allow anyone to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure that everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.

Page 48

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 use a seat belt that is twisted or

obstructed in any way that could impede its smooth operation.

• DO NOT wear seat belts over hard, sharp or

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

• 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 30º from the upright (vertical) position.

• 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 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.

WARNING

The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) is designed to add to the overall effectiveness of the seat belts. It does not replace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYS BE WORN!

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 49

Seat Belts

PREGNANT WOMEN

WARNING

Pregnant women must wear a correctly positioned seat belt; it is safer for mother and unborn child.

There are many ways that the belt can be misused for the sake of comfort, but there is only one way of wearing it safely.

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.

H5157

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 seat belts

H2488

Inertia reel belts are fitted to all front and rear seating positions, and also to the occasional rear seats*.

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 reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing injury.

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.

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.

Releasing the belt

Press the RED button on the seat belt buckle.

Page 50

Seat Belts

Upper anchorage adjustment (front seats only)

H2491

The height of the seat belt upper anchorage can be adjusted for comfort AND safety. Squeeze the control between finger and thumb to raise or lower the anchorage. For safety, the seat belt should always be worn with the webbing crossing the shoulder MIDWAY BETWEEN THE NECK AND THE EDGE OF THE SHOULDER.

Ensure the anchorage has ‘clicked’ into one of the locked positions before driving and DO NOT adjust the height once the vehicle is in motion.

Where possible, rear seat passengers should adjust their position on the seat to enable the seat belt webbing to cross the shoulder without pressing on the neck.

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS

The seat belt pre-tensioners activate in conjunction with the airbag SRS and provide additional protection in the event of a severe frontal impact on the vehicle (see ‘HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS’, page 58). The pre-tensioners automatically retract the seat belts fitted to the front seats. This reduces any slack in both the lap and diagonal portions of the belts, thereby reducing forward movement of the belt wearer in the event of a severe frontal collision.

The airbag SRS warning light on the instrument panel will alert you to any malfunction of the seat belt pre-tensioners.

If the pre-tensioners have been activated, the seat belts will still function as restraints, and must be worn in the event that the vehicle remains in a driveable condition.

NOTE: The seat belt pre-tensioners will NOT be activated by rear, side or minor frontal impacts.

WARNING

•

The seat belt pre-tensioners will only be activated once and then MUST BE REPLACED by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer. Failure to replace the pre-tensioners will reduce the efficiency of the vehicle’s front restraint system.

•

After any frontal impact, always have the seat belts and pre-tensioners checked and, if necessary, replaced by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

•

In the interests of safety, it is recommended that removal and replacement of the front seats and seat belts should only be carried out by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Service information

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to service, repair, replace, modify or tamper with any part of the pre-tensioner and airbag SRS, or wiring in the vicinity of a pre-tensioner or airbag SRS component; this could cause the system to activate, resulting in personal injury.

After fifteen years from the original date of registration (or the installation date of a replacement pre-tensioners), some components will need to be replaced by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer (note the ‘Seat belt pre-tensioner replacement date’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfolio book).

In addition, ALWAYS contact your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer if:

• an airbag inflates.

• a pre-tensioner activates.

• the front or side of the vehicle is damaged,

even if the pre-tensioner has not activated.

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 189).

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/Authorised Repairer 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 children under 12 are restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size (see table). Child safety seats approved for use in your vehicle are available from Land Rover Dealers/Authorised Repairers.

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.

Vehicles fitted with a passenger airbag

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

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

WARNING

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

Mass Group As indicated on child safety seat packaging.

0 = Up to 10 kg (0-9 months) X U U X 0+ = Up to 13 kg (0-18 months) X U U X I = 9 to 18 kg (9 months - 4 years) X U U X II & III =15 to 36 kg (4-12 years) X U U X

U = Suitable for ‘universal’ category restraints approved for this mass group. X = Seat position not suitable for children in this mass group. * = Unsuitable for use with many child restraints due to the limited space between the 2nd and 3rd row seats. Smaller forward facing restraints and booster cushions may safely be used in these positions if a good fit of the child restraint can be achieved following the manufacturers instructions.

Seat belt locking mechanism

All front passenger and second row seat belts have a special locking mechanism which aids the retention of child seats. The procedure to install a child seat is as follows:

1. Install the child seat in the vehicle, attach

the seat belt and secure the buckle in accordance with the manufacturers fitting instructions.

2. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt to

unreel all of the remaining webbing to the limit of its travel. This will engage the automatic locking feature, which then acts as a ratchet, allowing the webbing to retract ONLY.

3. Allow the seat belt to retract onto the child

seat (a ‘clicking’ sound will confirm that the ratchet has engaged), firmly pushing the child seat into the seat.

4. Ensure there is no slack in the seat belt by

pulling upwards on the shoulder belt immediately above the child restraint. The seat belt should now be locked and the child seat held firmly in position.

Once the child seat is removed and all the seat belt webbing is allowed to retract, the seat belt locking mechanism reverts to normal operation.

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINTS*

In some markets, child restraint systems complying with International Standard Organisation (ISO) regulations and approved for fitting in your vehicle may be available. These restraints are different to conventional child seats, requiring anchor bars built into the vehicle seat in order to accept the ISOFIX locking mechanism.

NOTE: The automatic locking mechanism should also be used when securing large items of luggage to a seat.

Page 54

Child Restraints

Fitting ISOFIX child restraints

ISOFIX child restraints should only be fitted in the two outer seating positions of the second row seats. Anchor bars built into the rear seat frame enable the ISOFIX restraints to be securely attached to the vehicle seat in these positions only. The anchor bar locations are shown in the illustration.

When fitting ISOFIX child restraints, always follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the restraint.

Once the ISOFIX restraint is installed, you are recommended to test the security of the installation before seating the child. Attempt to twist the restraint from side to side and to pull the restraint away from the vehicle seat; then check that the anchors are still securely in place.

If the restraint is not correctly anchored, there is a significant risk of injury to the child in the event of a collision or emergency braking.

WARNING

H4945

Both outer, rear (second row) seating positions in your vehicle are equipped to accept ISOFIX restraints.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints to the centre seating position - the anchor bars are not designed to hold an ISOFIX restraint in this position.

Page 55

Child Restraints

TETHER STRAP ANCHORAGES

H3587

There are three tether strap anchorage points. These should be used to attach tether straps from child seats or restraint systems. Two anchorage points are fitted to the back of the second row seat, these should be used for the two outer seating positions. A third single anchorage point is located in the centre of the rear header rail (above the tail door) for attaching a tether strap from the centre seat position. The anchorage points are shown in the accompanying illustrations.

H3586

Provision is made for the fitting of up to three child seats or restraint systems in the rear (second row) seats, of the type that require tether strap anchorage points.

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances should they be used for adult rear seat belts or for harnesses for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

Page 56

Child Restraints

Attaching tether straps

1. Install the child restraint securely in one of

the second row seating positions.

2. Pass the tether strap over the back of the

vehicle seat and beneath the underside of the head restraint.

3. Attach the clip on the head of the tether

strap to the tether anchor on the back of the vehicle seat (or, for the centre seating position, on the header rail above the taildoor).

4. Tighten the tether strap according to the

manufacturer’s instruct ions to remove any slack in the webbing.

WARNING

•

Always follow the child seat or restraint system manufacturer’s instructions when fitting tether straps.

•

When fitting a child seat or restraint system, always pass the tether strap over the top of the seat back and beneath the underside of the head restraint.

•

If a child seat or restraint system is to be fitted to the centre seating position, the centre armrest must be in the stowed position (folded into the seat).

Airbag SRS

H4409

AIRBAG SRS

The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) provides additional protection for either the driver, or the driver and front seat passenger, in the event of a severe frontal impact on the vehicle.

WARNING

The airbag is a supplementary restraint system that provides ADDITIONAL protection in a severe frontal impact only - it does NOT replace the need to wear a seat belt. For maximum safety protection in all crash situations, a seat belt must be worn.

Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated, with seat belts properly worn, the airbags will provide additional protection to the chest and facial areas in the event of the car receiving a severe frontal impact.

NOTE: Inflation and deflation of the airbags takes place very quickly and will not protect against the effects of secondary impacts that may occur.

The airbag(s) are located in the centre pad of the steering wheel and, where fitted, in the fascia panel above the glovebox.

WARNING

Do not allow a front seat passenger to obstruct the operation of the airbag by placing feet, knees or any other part of the person, or any other objects in contact with, or in close proximity to, an airbag module.

Page 58

Airbag SRS

WARNING

DO NOT attach or position items on or to an airbag cover (steering wheel centre pad or fascia panel), which could interfere with the inflation of the airbag or, if the airbag inflates, be propelled inside the car causing injury to the occupants.

To ensure correct deployment of the airbags, it is essential that obstructions are not allowed to intervene between an airbag and the occupant. The following are examples of the type of obstructions that could either, impede correct operation of the airbags, or jeopardise personal safety in the event of an airbag deployment:

• Accessories attached to or obscuring an

airbag cover.

• Items of hand luggage, or other objects

placed on an airbag cover.

• Feet, knees or any other part of the anatomy

in contact with, or in close proximity to, an airbag cover.

Seating positions

In order to provide optimum protection in the event of a severe frontal impact, it is necessary for the airbags to deploy with considerable speed.

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuries if the occupant is too close to the airbag at the time of its deployment.

HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS

In the event of a severe frontal impact, the airbag control unit monitors the rate of deceleration or acceleration induced by the collision, to determine whether the airbags should be deployed.

Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent entirely on the rate at which the vehicle's passenger compartment changes speed as a result of a collision. The circumstances affecting different collisions (vehicle speed, angle of impact, type and size of object hit, for example), vary considerably and will affect the rate of acceleration or deceleration accordingly.

NOTE: The airbag SRS is not designed to operate as a result of rear collisions, minor frontal or side Impacts, roll over accidents; nor will it operate as a result of heavy braking or driving over bumps and potholes.

It follows, therefore, that significant superficial damage can occur without the airbags deploying or, conversely, that a relatively small amount of structural damage may cause the airbags to be deployed.

NOTE: Airbags will only deploy when they are required to supplement the restraining force of the seat belts.

In the case of a severe frontal collision, both front airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners will be deployed.

WARNING

To minimise the risk of accidental Injury from inflating airbags, seat belts should be correctly worn at all times. In addition, both driver and front seat passenger should adjust their seat to provide the maximum practical distance from the airbags.

Page 59

Airbag SRS

H4939

Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with the seat belt restraint system, limit the movement of a front seat occupant, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper torso.

WARNING

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuries. Minimise the risk of injury by ensuring that front seat occupants are wearing their seat belts and are seated correctly, with the seat as far back as is practical.

WARNING

After inflation, some airbag components are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled.

Airbag SRS warning light

A warning light mounted on the instrument panel will alert you to any malfunction of the airbag SRS. The airbag SRS should always be checked by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer if any of the following symptoms occur:

• The warning light fails to illuminate when

the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’.

• The warning light fails to extinguish within

approximately four seconds after the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’.

• The warning light illuminates after the

engine is started, or while the vehicle is being driven.

When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released. This is not an indication of a malfunction, however, the powder may cause irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and any cuts or abrasions of the skin. After inflation the airbags deflate immediately. This provides a gradual cushioning effect for the occupant and also ensures that the driver's forward vision is not impaired.

Page 60

Airbag SRS

SERVICE INFORMATION

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to service, repair, replace, modify or tamper with any part of the airbag SRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbag SRS component; this could cause the system to activate, resulting in personal injury.

After ten years from the original date of registration (or the installation date of a replacement airbag SRS), some components will need to be replaced by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer (note the ‘airbag module replacement date’ shown on page 2 of the Service Portfolio book).

In addition, ALWAYS contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer if:

• an airbag inflates.

• the front of the vehicle is damaged, even if

the airbag has not inflated.

• any part of an airbag module cover (the

steering wheel centre pad or fascia panel) shows signs of cracking or damage.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The components that make up the airbag SRS are sensitive to electrical or physical interference, either of which could easily damage the system and cause inadvertent operation or a malfunction of the airbag.

For your safety it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer to carry out any of the following:

• Removal or repair of any wiring or

component in the vicinity of any of the SRS components (yellow wiring harness), including the steering wheel, steering column, instrument and fascia panels.

• Installation of electronic equipment

such as a mobile phone, two-way radio or in-car entertainment system.

• Modification to the front of the vehicle,

including the bumper and chassis.

• Attachment of accessories to the front

of the vehicle.

Disposing of vehicles

If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the new owner that the vehicle has an airbag SRS. In addition, make sure the new owner is aware of the airbag module replacement date shown on page 2 of the Service Portfolio book.

If your vehicle is to be scrapped; uninflated airbags are potentially very dangerous and must be safely deployed in a controlled environment by qualified personnel, before a vehicle is scrapped.

Door Mirrors

EXTERIOR MIRRORS

NOTE: Objects viewed in exterior mirrors may appear further away than they actually are.

H2629

• Turn the control to the ‘L’ or ‘R’ position to

select either the left or right hand mirror.

• With the starter switch turned to position

‘II’, push the control in the appropriate direction to tilt the mirror glass up/down/left or right.

• When adjustment is complete, return the

control to the OFF position (midway between ‘L’ and ‘R’).

NOTE: The door mirrors have integral heating elements which disperse ice or mist from the glass. These will operate in conjunction with the heated rear window.

Folding the mirror body

The door mirrors are designed to fold forwards or rearwards on impact. They can also be folded back towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the vehicle to negotiate narrower openings.

H2981

Operation: Mirror folding is carried out as follows:

1. Ensure the mirror control is turned to the

centre position.

2. With the starter switch turned to position

‘II’, push the control down once to fold the mirrors back towards the side windows.

3. Before driving, push the control down a

second time to return the mirrors to their normal (extended) position.

If the mirrors are accidentally knocked out of position (i.e. with one mirror extended and the other in the ‘parked’ position), an additional operation of the switch will re-synchronise them.

H4395

1. Temperature gauge

Once the engine coolant has reached its normal operating temperature, the pointer will rise to a position within the WHITE segment of the gauge (the precise position will vary according to climatic conditions).

If the pointer moves towards the RED segment, this indicates that the engine coolant is becoming too hot. Should the pointer move INTO the RED segment and the RED warning light within the gauge illuminates, severe engine damage could occur (under these circumstances, the air conditioning may switch off and engine performance may reduce in order to minimise engine load).

Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and allow the engine to idle for five minutes in order to cool down - DO NOT SWITCH OFF. Seek qualified assistance before continuing.

2. Tachometer

Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (x 1000). In normal driving conditions the engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 and 3000 rev/min.

Vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter are fitted with a system which automatically restricts the number of engine revolutions per minute once the engine's maximum ‘governed’ speed has been reached.

3. Speedometer

Indicates road speed in kilometres per hour.

Page 64

Instruments

4. Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder

With the starter switch turned to position ‘II’, the display indicates the total distance travelled by the vehicle, and also shows the most recent individual journey distance.In some markets, the display can be set to show either miles or kilometres. To convert from one to another, press and hold the trip recorder reset button for more than two seconds.

NOTE: On automatic gearbox vehicles the display also indicates which selector position is selected.

5. Trip recorder reset button

Press briefly to return the trip recorder display to zero.

6. Fuel gauge

The pointer drops to zero when the starter switch is turned off, but quickly rises to show the level of fuel in the tank when the switch is turned to position ‘II’. After refuelling, the gauge rapidly rises to reflect the increase of fuel in the tank.

When the fuel remaining in the tank is a minimum of 14 litres (3 gallons) on petrol vehicles, or 9 litres (2 gallons) on diesel vehicles, the AMBER low fuel warning light in the fuel gauge illuminates. If the light illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity.

The small arrow visible below the fuel pump symbol on the gauge indicates the side of the vehicle on which the fuel filler is located - a useful reminder to help you position the vehicle on the correct side of the forecourt pumps before refuelling.

WARNING

NEVER allow petrol engined models to run out of fuel (the resultant misfire may destroy the catalytic converter).

Seat belt reminder

In some markets, if the driver's seat belt has not been fastened when the starter switch is turned on, a warning chime will sound (one second frequency). The chime operates in conjunction with the seat belt warning light and sounds for 6 seconds, or until the seat belt is fastened (whichever occurs first).

In Gulf States markets, either; the chime will continue sounding indefinitely until the seat belt is fastened, or; the chime will sound for 6 seconds whenever the driver's door is opened and closed with the starter switch turned on.

Heating & Ventilation

VENTILATION

H4412

Heating & Ventilation

The ventilation system provides fresh or heated air to the interior of the vehicle from the air intake grille in front of the windscreen.

NOTE: Always keep the air intake grille clear of obstructions such as leaves, snow or ice.

Air outlets are provided to the windscreen, face and feet - the location of those vents is shown in the illustration above. The temperature of the air supplied to the vents is controlled by the heater.

NOTE: Vent (1) is designed to keep the audio unit cool; there is no air flow from this vent.

Information concerning the operation of the heating and ventilation system appears on the following pages.

Face level vents

H2454a

Each vent can be opened or closed by rotating the thumbwheel: left to open, right to close. Direct the flow of air by moving the control in the centre of the louvres.

To ensure best ventilation and minimum noise, the vents should be fully open when the air distribution control is set to face level.

The left hand control varies air temperature from the vents on the left side of the vehicle. The right hand control adjusts air temperature from the vents on the right side.Rotate each control clockwise (towards the RED segments) to increase the air temperature, or anti-clockwise (towards the BLUE) to reduce the temperature.

2. Air distribution control

Rotate to select air distribution:

3. Air blower control

Move the control to the right to progressively increase the fan speed.

With the control at ‘0’ the fan is stationary and the volume of air entering the passenger compartment is solely dependent upon the ram effect of the vehicle moving through the air.

4. Air recirculation control

Press to recirculate air inside the vehicle (indicator light illuminates).

The air recirculation mode prevents the heating system from taking in fresh air from outside the vehicle. Instead, the air already inside the vehicle is recirculated, thus preventing the entry of traffic fumes. In cold weather air recirculation also enables warmer air to be used to defrost the windscreen when the engine is still cold.

WARNING

The air recirculation mode can cause the windscreen to mist. If this happens, switch off air recirculation immediately.

Heating & Ventilation

USING YOUR HEATER

Fresh air enters the heater unit through the grille in front of the windscreen and stale air is drawn out through vents in the rear of the vehicle. Ducts along the transmission tunnel provide heating for rear seat passengers - these must not be obstructed.

The following examples of basic heater settings are intended as a general guide; the air distribution, temperature and blower controls can then be further adjusted to suit your comfort requirements.

Always remember that full heating is not available until the engine has reached its normal operating temperature.

Maximum heating

H2601

Set the controls as shown, with the blower at the slowest speed (position 1) until the temperature gauge indicates that the engine is warming up - the blower speed can then be increased.

Demisting

H2603

Set the controls as shown to obtain the maximum flow of heated air from the windscreen and side window vents.

Opening a window may improve ventilation.

Defrosting

H2604

Set the controls as shown and switch on air recirculation to prevent cold air from being drawn into the vehicle. Turn air recirculation off as soon as the windscreen is clear to prevent any possibility of the windscreen misting.

AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS

2762

TEMP

H2481

The air conditioning system features automatic temperature and air distribution control, which is programmed to maintain optimum levels of comfort within the vehicle in all but the most severe climatic conditions.

While the controls can be adjusted manually to satisfy individual requirements, allowing the system to function automatically (in Auto mode) is by far the simplest method of operation for the owner and is preferable in most operating conditions.

1. Auto mode

• Press ‘AUTO’ (1) for fully automatic

operation.

• Press the temperature control switches

(2) on either side of the display to select the required temperature.

• Let the automatic temperature control

system do the rest.

In Auto mode, air distribution and blower speeds are adjusted automatically to achieve and then maintain the desired temperature.

983145

(An enclosed area in the centre of the display will show ‘AUTO’ together with the air distribution and blower speed settings).

Both the air distribution and blower controls can be operated independently to override the automatic setting. In this case, the relative symbols will move outside the enclosed area in the centre of the display to indicate that they are no longer being controlled automatically.

NOTE: If the air distribution and blower controls are operated independently, the system may not be able to achieve or maintain the required temperature settings.

2. Temperature controls

Operate the rocker switches on either side of the display to set the required temperature for the corresponding side of the passenger compartment (left hand switch for the left side of the vehicle, and right hand switch for the right side).

Temperatures above 28°C (82°F) and below 16°C (61°F) cannot be set. Above or below these maximum and minimum settings ‘HI’ or ‘LO’ will appear in the display.

Page 88

Air Conditioning

The temperatures shown on the display are relative, target, temperatures only and are not reflective of any specific temperature measured within the vehicle interior.

NOTE: The system will not achieve temperatures on the passenger’s side of the vehicle that are more than 5°C (9°F) greater or less than the temperature set for the driver's side.

3. Defrost mode

If the windscreen is misting or covered in ice, press the ‘SCREEN’

button; the system will immediately direct its output to achieve maximum screen clearing by:

• setting the blower speed to the optimum

level

• distributing air flow to the screen only. In addition, the rear and front screen heaters

will be switched on (or their timed operating cycle will recommence if they are already switched on).

NOTE: The temperature and blower speed controls can be adjusted and air recirculation selected manually if required.

Press the ‘SCREEN’ button a second time (or select ‘AUTO’) to leave the Defrost mode - the system will default automatically to Auto mode.

4. Economy mode

Press the ‘ECON’ button to operate

(the display shows ‘ECON’). In economy mode the air conditioning

compressor is switched off and the system functions as a conventional heating and ventilation system. This reduces the load on the engine, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

Select Economy mode whenever air conditioning is not required i.e. in cold weather when the external temperature is lower than the temperature required for the passenger compartment.

The air distribution, blower and recirculation controls can be operated independently.

Pressing the ‘Econ’ button a second time will switch the air conditioning compressor on and return the system to Auto mode.

NOTE: In Economy mode, it is possible to switch the blower off (no segments showing in the display).

5. On/off button

Press to switch on or off.

When switching on, note that the system automatically recalls the mode and control settings that were last used.

NOTE: With the system turned off, the temperature of the vehicle will not be controlled, and may cause the windows to mist.

6. Blower button

Press the button to adjust the

blower speed. The blower speed

increases incrementally with each press of the button, until maximum fan speed is reached (the display shows five segments and the word ‘MAX’).

Once the maximum fan speed has been reached, another press of the button returns the blower to its slowest speed (one segment shows in the display).

Page 89

Air Conditioning

7. Air distribution control

Press the button to adjust. Air distribution changes incrementally with each press of the switch in the

following sequence:

Face level vents

Foot and face level vents

Foot level vents

Foot level, windscreen and side window vents

Windscreen and side window vents

A further operation of the button returns to the start of the sequence.

NOTE: If the button is pressed for more than one second, air distribution will automatically default to foot and face level vents.

8. External temperature

Press the button to display. The external temperature is displayed for approximately 6 seconds, after

which the display reverts to its previous state.

NOTE: While the air conditioning system is switched off, the external temperature can be displayed briefly by pressing the button.

9. Air recirculation

The air recirculation feature can be used to prohibit the entry of air

from outside the vehicle, alternatively recirculating the air inside the vehicle instead. This is useful to prevent the entry of traffic fumes.

The feature also significantly influences the dehumidifying and cooling performance of the air-conditioning system. Therefore, in Auto mode, air recirculation is controlled automatically to enable the air-conditioning system to achieve its optimum performance.

However, the feature is also manually selectable in Auto, Defrost and Economy modes, as follows:

In Auto mode:

• Press the button briefly (display shows

recirculation symbol):

Air recirculation operates until the control is pressed a second time to switch off.

• Press and hold for 2 seconds (two bleeps

will sound, display shows recirculation symbol):

Air recirculation operates for a pre-timed period of 4-6 minutes only.

In Defrost and Economy modes:

• Press the control briefly (display shows

recirculation symbol):

Air recirculation operates for a pre-timed period of 4-6 minutes only.

• Press and hold for 2 seconds (two bleeps

will sound, display shows recirculation symbol):

Air recirculation operates until the control is pressed a second time to switch off.

NOTE: Prolonged recirculation may cause the windows to mist.

Temperature conversion (°F - °C)

The temperature displays can be converted to or from Fahrenheit and Centigrade, as follows:

• Press and hold the air recirculation button.

• At the same time, press and hold the on/off

button for 3 seconds.

• A ‘bleep’ will sound to indicate that the

conversion has taken place.

Air Conditioning

Rear air conditioning controls

243

H3580

Some vehicles are equipped with a supplementary air conditioning system, which supplies cooled, dried air to the rear passenger compartment through air vents set into the rear roof lining. The rear air conditioning will only operate when the front air conditioning is switched on. In all other respects, however, it is controlled independently using the controls set into the roof lining. To operate:

1. With the front air conditioning switched

on, press the on/off switch in the rear air conditioning control panel (illustrated).

2. Adjust the slider control to increase or

reduce the air conditioning fan speed.

3. Always switch off the rear air conditioning

after use, otherwise operation will start automatically again when the vehicle is next used.

During cold weather, when the air conditioning is not in use, the rear air conditioning controls can be used to supply recirculated air to the rear passenger compartment.

GENERAL NOTES

• For optimum operating efficiency, ensure all

the air vents (including those in the rear of the vehicle) are open.

• For the automatic temperature control

system to function efficiently, all windows (and the sunroof) should be closed, and the air intake vents free from ice, snow, leaves or other debris.

• 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.

• The air conditioning compressor will not

function unless the engine is running.

• 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.

• If desired, the system's audible information

chimes can be deactivated, as follows:

1. Press ‘Auto’ button and hold.

2. Press ‘On/off’ button and hold pressed

for three seconds, then release.

3. Press ‘On/off’ button again for a further 3 seconds, and release.

4. Release ‘Auto’ button.
