Owner Maintenance

Maintenance

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

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

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

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

Passport to Service

The Passport to Service book includes a Service Record section, which enables a record to be kept of all the oil services and inspections that are carried out on the vehicle. This section of the book also provides a facility for the retailer to record brake fluid changes, as well as the fitting of replacement airbag modules.

Ensure your retailer signs and stamps the book after each oil service and inspection.

Brake fluid/component replacement

Brake fluid must be completely renewed every 3 years, regardless of distance travelled.

Coolant replacement

The engine coolant (anti-freeze and water solution) needs to be replaced every 4 years, regardless of distance travelled. Your retailer will replace the coolant at the scheduled oil service.

OWNER MAINTENANCE

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

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

Daily checks

• Operation of lights, horn, direction

indicators, wipers, washers and warning lights.

• Operation of seat belts and brakes.

• Look for fluid deposits underneath the

vehicle that might indicate a leak (condensation drips from the air conditioning are normal).

Weekly checks

• Engine oil level.

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

• Brake fluid level.

• Power steering fluid level.

• Windshield washer fluid level.

• Tire pressures and condition.

• Operate air conditioning.

All fluid specifications and capacities are shown in ‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’, page 271.

195

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Maintenance

If brake pedal travel is unusually long or if there is any significant loss of brake fluid, contact your retailer immediately. Driving under such conditions could result in extended stopping distances or complete brake failure.

Driving in arduous conditions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Special operation conditions

When a vehicle is operated in extremely arduous conditions, more frequent attention must be paid to servicing requirements.

For example: if your vehicle experiences deep wading conditions, even DAILY servicing could be necessary to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.

Arduous driving conditions include:

• Repeated short distance driving (e.g.

up to 6 miles (10 km), stop-start driving or idling for long periods.

• Driving in dusty and/or sandy

conditions.

• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads

and/or wading.

• Driving in extremely hot conditions.

• Towing a trailer or driving in

mountainous conditions.

Contact a Land Rover retailer for advice.

WARNING

SAFETY IN THE GARAGE

WARNING

Cooling fans may continue to operate after the engine is switched off. When the engine is hot, the cooling fans may also COMMENCE operating after the engine is switched off and continue operating for up to 10 minutes. To avoid injury, keep clear of all fans and remove any loose clothing while working in the engine compartment.

Whenever you need to carry out maintenance on your vehicle, observe the following safety precautions at all times:

•

Keep your hands and clothing away from drive belts and pulleys.

•

If the vehicle has been driven recently, DO NOT TOUCH exhaust and cooling system components until the engine has cooled.

•

DO NOT TOUCH electrical leads or components while the engine is running, or with the starter switch turned on.

•

NEVER leave the engine running in an unventilated area - exhaust gases are poisonous and extremely dangerous.

•

DO NOT work beneath the vehicle with the wheel changing jack as the only means of support.

•

Ensure sparks and naked lights are kept away from the engine compartment.

•

Wear protective clothing, including, where practicable, gloves made from an impervious material.

•

Remove metal wrist bands and jewellery before working in the engine compartment.

•

DO NOT allow tools or metal parts of the vehicle to make contact with the battery leads or terminals.

196

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Maintenance

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

Poisonous fluids

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

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

Used engine oil

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

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

sites to dispose of used oil and toxic chemicals.

PREPARATION FOR WINTER

Before the onset of winter, to prevent the door seals from freezing closed, apply Land Rover silicone spray to the flocked seals across the tops of the doors.

This action will need to be repeated at the start of each winter to maintain protection.

WARNING

EMISSION CONTROL

Your vehicle is fitted with various items of emission and evaporative control equipment designed to meet specific territorial requirements. You should be aware that unauthorised replacement, modification or tampering with this equipment by an owner or repair shop may be unlawful and subject to legal penalties.

In addition, engine settings must not be tampered with. These have been established to ensure that your vehicle complies with stringent exhaust emission regulations. Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect exhaust emissions, engine performance and fuel consumption, as well as causing high temperatures, which will result in damage to the catalytic converter and the vehicle.

NOTE: While Land Rover North America Inc. maintains that an authorised Land Rover retailer is best equipped to carry out repairs and maintenance on the emission control system, such work may be carried out by any competent automotive repair shop or individual using certified parts.

ROAD TESTING DYNAMOMETERS (‘rolling roads’)

Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes and permanent four-wheel drive, it is essential that any dynamometer testing is carried out ONLY by a qualified person familiar with the testing and safety procedures on a four-wheel-drive dynamometer.

Engine Oil

CHECK & TOP-UP

Check the oil level at least every 250 miles (400 km), when the engine is COLD and with the vehicle resting on level ground.

NOTE: If it is necessary to check the oil level when the engine is hot, switch off the engine and let the vehicle stand for five minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the sump. DO NOT start the engine.

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

• is nearer to the upper mark than the lower,

add no oil.

• is nearer to the lower mark than the upper,

add half a quart of oil.

• is below the lower mark, add one quart of oil

and re-check the level after a further five minutes.

Oil specification

It is essential to use an oil suitable for the climatic conditions in which the vehicle is to be operated. Precise specifications are shown in ‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’, page 271. If in doubt, contact your Land Rover retailer.

H3961

Topping-up

1. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade

clean.

2. Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw

again to check the level, which should NEVER be allowed to fall below the lower mark on the dipstick.

3. To top-up, unscrew the oil filler cap and

add oil to maintain the level between the UPPER and LOWER marks on the dipstick.

DO NOT OVERFILL!

Oil levels above the MAX mark may cause engine damage. Some oil must be removed from the engine by a service technician.

H3960

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Engine Oil

DRAIN & REFILL

Ensure that the engine oil is changed at the recommended service intervals as specified in the Passport to Service book.

NOTE: Under severe operating conditions (i.e. regular use in muddy terrain or dusty conditions), the engine oil must be changed more frequently, even to the extent of a daily change. Consult your Land Rover retailer for guidance.

Used engine oil

WARNING

Prolonged contact with used engine oil can cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer of the skin. Wear protective clothing if possible and ALWAYS wash thoroughly after contact.

It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses

or soil with toxic chemicals such as used engine oil. Use authorised waste disposal sites to dispose of used oil and toxic chemicals.

Drain

H4684

With the engine warm (to assist oil drainage) and the vehicle parked on firm, level ground, remove the filler cap and position a container of suitable size (at least 10 US quarts or 10 litres) under the drain plug, in the bottom of the sump.

It is assumed that the engine oil filter will be renewed at the same time as draining and refilling the engine oil.

Because any used engine oil remaining in the filter container will drain into the sump when the filter is changed, it is better to change the filter element (see ‘Oil filter renewal’, page 203) before draining and refilling the engine oil.

201

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Engine Oil

Refill

H4685

Remove the drain plug and copper washer and allow the engine oil to drain into the container.

WARNING

Oil from the engine can be very hot, to avoid harmful burns, take care when removing the drain plug.

Clean the oil drain plug and its mating surface on the engine sump. Fit the drain plug, complete with a new copper washer, and tighten to 13 lbf.ft (17 Nm).

Refill the engine with fresh oil, suitable for the climatic conditions in which the vehicle is to be operated (see ‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’, page 271).

DO NOT overfill the engine! Remember that a little oil will always remain in the engine after draining and that, therefore, the quantity of oil required to refill the engine will be slightly less than the full capacity quoted in ‘CAPACITIES’, page 272.

After filling, allow a few minutes to elapse before checking the level on the dipstick (this will allow all the oil to drain into the sump and enable a true reading to be obtained). Once the correct level of oil is shown on the dipstick, replace the filler cap.

Start and run the engine. Do not rev the engine until the oil pressure warning light extinguishes. Check for oil leaks around the drain plug.

Stop the engine, wait a few minutes, then check the oil level and top up if necessary.

Cooling System

COOLANT CHECK AND TOP-UP

WARNING

NEVER remove the filler cap when the engine is hot -escaping steam or scalding water could cause serious personal injury.

Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing the pressure to escape before removing completely.

Avoid spilling anti-freeze onto a hot engine a fire may result.

CAUTION: NEVER run the engine without coolant.

CAUTION: NEVER top-up with salt water. When travelling in territories where the water supply contains salt, always ensure that you carry a supply of fresh (rain or distilled) water.

NOTE: Anti-freeze will damage painted surfaces: Soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water.

The coolant level in the expansion tank should only be checked and topped-up if low level indication is given in the message centre. Always check the level WHEN THE SYSTEM IS COLD.

If it is necessary to remove the filler cap before the system has fully cooled, loosen the cap slowly, allowing the air pressure to escape gradually.

H3908

Top-up with a 50% mixture of anti-freeze and water so that the float protrudes slightly from the filler neck, in accordance with the illustration inset. DO NOT OVERFILL!

Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is completed.

If the level has fallen appreciably, suspect leakage or overheating and arrange for your retailer to examine the vehicle.

CAUTION: An over-filled expansion tank may cause a build-up of pressure and excess fluid could be expelled through the filler cap.

208

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Cooling System

ANTI-FREEZE

WARNING

Anti-freeze is poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed - keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental consumption is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.

Prevent anti-freeze coming in contact with the skin or eyes. If this occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Anti-freeze contains important corrosion inhibitors. The anti-freeze content of the coolant must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round (not just in cold conditions). To ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are retained, the anti-freeze content should be checked once a year and completely renewed every 4 years, regardless of distance travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion of the radiator and engine components.

The specific gravity of a 50% anti-freeze solution at 68ºF (20°C) is 1.075 and protects against frost down to -33ºF (-36°C).

Coolant specification

Use ONLY a 50% mix of water and Castrol Anti-freeze NF or approved alternative. See ‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’, page 271.

In an emergency - and only if this type of anti-freeze is unavailable - top-up the cooling system with clean water, but be aware of the resultant reduction in frost protection. DO NOT top-up or refill with conventional anti-freeze formulations. If in doubt consult a Land Rover retailer.

NOTE: When clean water is added in the event of an emergency, the low coolant light will illuminate if the water/anti-freeze mix ratio is over-diluted. This light will extinguish when the ratio of water/anti-freeze is returned to a 50% mix. This should be done at the earliest opportunity.

BRAKE FLUID

Top-up

WARNING

Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental consumption of fluid is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.

If brake fluid should come into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

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

CAUTION: DO NOT drive the vehicle with the fluid level below the ‘MIN’ mark.

NOTE: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces: Soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water.

Check

The fluid level may fall slightly during normal use as a result of brake pad wear but should not be allowed to fall below the ‘MIN’ mark. Any substantial drop in fluid indicates a leak in the system, in which case the vehicle must NOT be driven and you should contact your retailer.

WARNING

Contact your retailer immediately if brake pedal travel is unusually long or if there is any appreciable drop in brake fluid level.

Wipe the filler cap clean before removing to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir. Unscrew the cap (1/8 turn) and top-up the reservoir to the ‘MAX’ mark using brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specification.

Use only new fluid from an airtight container (old fluid from opened containers or fluid previously bled from the system will have absorbed moisture, which will adversely affect performance, and must NOT be used). DO NOT

OVERFILL!

Brake fluid must be completely renewed every 3 years, regardless of distance travelled.

With the vehicle on level ground, check the fluid level at least every week (more frequently in high mileage or arduous operating conditions). Check the level visually through the side of the transparent reservoir without removing the filler cap.

POWER STEERING FLUID

WARNING

Power steering fluid is highly toxic - keep containers sealed and out of reach of children. If accidental consumption of fluid is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.

If power steering fluid should come into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

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

NOTE: Power steering fluid will damage painted

surfaces: Soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water.

Emergency operation

Any large or sudden drop in the fluid level must be investigated by a qualified retailer.

If it can be established that fluid loss is slow, then the reservoir may be topped-up to the upper level mark to enable the vehicle to be driven to the nearest qualified retailer for examination.

Check and Top-up

Check and top-up the fluid level ONLY with the engine switched off and the system cold, and ensure that the steering wheel is not turned after stopping the engine.

Wipe the filler cap clean to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir. Remove the filler cap and, using a lint-free cloth, wipe the dipstick clean. Refit the filler cap fully and remove it again to check the fluid level. Add fluid to the reservoir until the level is between the upper mark and the bottom of the dipstick. DO NOT

fill above the upper mark on the dipstick.

If the fluid level has dropped below the lower level mark, top-up the reservoir before starting the engine, or damage to the steering pump could result.

CAUTION: The engine must NOT be started if the fluid level has dropped below the bottom of the dipstick - severe damage to the pump could result.

Fluid top-up

H3909

The windshield washer reservoir supplies both windshield and rear window washer jets.

Check the reservoir level at least every week and to prevent freezing in cold weather, top-up with a mixture of water and a recommended screenwash.

Preferably mix the recommended quantities of water and screenwash in a separate container before topping-up the system, and always follow the instructions on the screenwash container.

CAUTION: State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the use of methanol, a common windshield washer anti-freeze additive. Washer fluids containing non-methanol anti-freeze agents should be used only if they provide cold weather protection without damaging the vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades or washer system.

If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 40 degrees F, use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection. In cold weather, failure to use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

CAUTION: DO NOT use an anti-freeze or vinegar/water solution in the washer reservoir anti-freeze will damage painted surfaces, while vinegar can damage the windshield washer pump.

Screenwash

Use Land Rover Parts STC8249 screenwash, or any good quality proprietary screenwash.

Some screenwash products are inflammable, particularly if high or undiluted concentrations are exposed to sparking. Do not allow screenwash to come into contact with naked flames or sources of ignition.

NOTE: Body panels may suffer discoloration as

a result of screenwash spillage.Take care to avoid spillage, particularly if an undiluted or high concentration of screenwash is being used. If spillage occurs, wash the affected area immediately with water.

BATTERY SAFETY

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

WARNING

ALWAYS wear appropriate eye protection when working around batteries.

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

•

On clothing or the skin - remove any contaminated clothing immediately, flush the skin with large amounts of water, and seek medical attention urgently.

•

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

•

Swallowing battery acid can be fatal unless IMMEDIATE action is taken - seek medical attention urgently.

During normal operation batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas - to avoid fire, ensure sparks and naked lights are kept away from the engine compartment.

For your safety, remove all metal wrist bands and jewellery before working in the engine compartment and NEVER allow the battery terminals or vehicle leads to make contact with tools or metal parts of the vehicle.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

H3997

The battery is designed to be maintenance free, so topping-up is unnecessary. On the top of the battery there is a battery condition indicator (arrowed in inset). Examine the indicator periodically to check the battery's condition. When the indicator shows:

• GREEN - the battery is in a good state of

charge.

• DARK (turning to black) - the battery needs

charging.

• CLEAR (or light yellow) - the battery must

be replaced. Do not charge the battery or jump start the vehicle in this condition.

NOTE: When checking the battery condition indicator, if necessary, clean the battery top to ensure a clear view.

215

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Battery

If the indicator shows clear or yellow, tap the indicator with the handle of a screwdriver to disperse any air bubbles. If the color is unchanged, the battery must be replaced.

Battery disconnection, charging, removal and replacement

There may at times be a requirement to disconnect the battery, eg, to necessitate Interlock Code emergency deactivation - see

your Audio & Navigation handbook.

• Turn the starter switch off and remove the

starter key.

• Wait for at least two minutes before starting

the disconnection procedure. Ensure you have your remote handset available as you may have to turn off the alarm sounder.

• Disconnect ONLY the negative (‘-’) terminal.

• Wait for two minutes before reconnecting

the battery.

If the alarm sounds when the battery is reconnected, use the key fob to turn it off.

WARNING

The battery positive (‘+’) terminal is fitted with a pyrotechnic charge, designed to disconnect the battery as a safety precaution in the event of a severe collision. For this reason, the battery charging, disconnection and removal should only be attempted by qualified personnel.

Effects of battery disconnection

Following disconnection and subsequent reconnection of the vehicle battery, a number of the vehicle systems will be reset automatically. This may take a few minutes and with some systems, sensors have to detect certain actions whilst driving before full operability returns. This in no way affects the safe operation of the vehicle.

Replacement batteries

Only fit a replacement battery of the same type and specification as the original - other batteries may vary in size or have different terminal positions which could cause a fire hazard when connected to the vehicle’s electrical system.

Battery disposal

Used batteries should be recycled.

However, batteries are hazardous - you should seek advice about disposal from a Land Rover retailer or your local authority.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Tires

CARING FOR YOUR TIRES

WARNING

DEFECTIVE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS! Do not drive if any tire is damaged, is excessively worn, or is inflated to an incorrect pressure.

ALWAYS replace worn or defective tires with the factory recommended specification (see ‘WHEELS & TIRES’, page 276). Failure to do so may affect the safe handling of the vehicle.

Always drive with consideration for the condition of the tires, and regularly inspect the tread and side walls for any sign of distortion (bulges), cuts or wear.

The most common causes of tire failure are:

• Bumping against curbs

• Driving over deep potholes in the road.

• Driving with under- or over-inflated tires

NOTE: If possible, protect tires from contamination by oil, grease, fuel and other automotive fluids.

Safety practices

The way you drive has a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety. Cultivate good driving habits for your own benefit.

• Observe posted speed limits

• Avoid fast starts, stops and turns

• Avoid potholes and objects on the road

• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against

the curb when parking

• Avoid wheel spin

Avoid tire spinning. The forces created by rapidly spinning a tire can cause failure of, or damage to, the tire structure.

If a tire does spin, never exceed the 35 mph point indicated on the speedometer.

Do not allow anyone to stand near, or directly in line with, a tire that may spin.

Tire pressures

Correctly inflated tires will ensure that you enjoy the best combination of tire life, ride comfort, fuel economy and road handling.

Under-inflated tires wear more rapidly, can seriously affect the vehicle's road handling characteristics and fuel consumption, as well as increase the risk of tire failure. Over-inflated tires give a harsher ride, wear unevenly and are more prone to damage.

Tire pressures should be checked at least once a week with normal road use, but should be checked DAILY if the vehicle is used off-road.

Check the pressures (including the spare wheel) when the tires are cold - be aware that it only takes 3 miles (5 km) of driving to warm the tires sufficiently to affect the tire pressures.

NOTE: Air pressure naturally increases in warm tires. If it is necessary to check the tires when they are warm (after the vehicle has been driven for a while), the pressure may have increased by up to 6 lbf/in NEVER let air out of the tire in order to match the recommended pressures.

WARNING

(41 kPa). In this circumstance,

217

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Tires

If the vehicle has been parked in strong sunlight or used in high ambient temperatures, DO NOT reduce tire pressures; instead, move the vehicle into the shade and allow the tires to cool before checking.

The recommended pressures for cold tires are shown in ‘WHEELS & TIRES’, page 276.

Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressures, including the spare, at least weekly and before long journeys. Land Rover strongly recommends using a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate.

WARNING

5. Replace the valve cap.

6. Repeat with each tire.

NOTE: The pressure for your spare tire should be set to the highest value given for your wheel/tire size combination, and adjusted after fitment.

7. Visually inspect the tires to make sure that

there are no nails or other objects embedded in them.

8. Check the sidewalls to make sure that

there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregularities.

Checking tire inflation pressures

Check the tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold, i.e. before driving.

1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.

2. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.

3. Add air to achieve the recommended tire

pressure.

4. If you overfill the tire, release air by

pushing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure with your tire gauge.

NOTE: Tire pressure increases in warm weather and decreases in cold weather.

218

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Tires

Tire wear

H4942

Tires fitted as original equipment have wear indicators moulded into the tread pattern. When the tread has worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) the indicators start appearing at the surface of the tread pattern, producing the effect of a continuous band of rubber across the width of the tire.

A tire MUST be replaced as soon as an indicator band becomes visible or the tread depth reaches the minimum permitted by legislation in the market you are driving in.

Tread depth must be checked regularly (at every maintenance service, or more frequently). Always replace a tire before the tread reaches a remaining depth of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). DO NOT drive with tires worn to this limit, the safety of the vehicle and occupants will be adversely affected.

NOTE: After off-road use, check to make sure there are no lumps, cuts or bulges in the tires or exposure of the ply or cord structure.

Valves

Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly - they prevent dirt from entering the valve. Check the valve for leaks (listen for a tell-tale hissing) when you check the tire pressure.

Punctured tires

Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless tires, which may not leak immediately if penetrated by a sharp object, provided the object remains in the tire.

A puncture of this kind will eventually cause the tire to lose pressure, which is why regular (and frequent) checking of tire pressures is important. Punctured or damaged tires must be permanently repaired, where possible within industry legislation by a qualified technician, or replaced as soon as possible.

If you sustain a puncture, reduce driving speed immediately in a straight line where possible, whilst avoiding heavy braking or sharp steering inputs. Pull over at the first safe place possible to change your tire.

Highway hazards

No matter how carefully you drive, there is always the possibility of a puncture on the highway. In this event, drive slowly to the closest safe area out of traffic. This may further damage the flat tire, but your safety is more important.

If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving, or you suspect that your tire or vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive with caution and safely pull off the road at the earliest opportunity. Stop and inspect the tire for damage. If the tire is under-inflated or damaged, remove the tire and wheel and replace it with your spare. If you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire retailer to have the vehicle inspected.

219

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Tires

Replacement tires

WARNING

Wheels and tires are matched to suit the handling characteristics of the vehicle. For safety, ALWAYS check that replacement tires comply with the original specification (see ‘WHEELS & TIRES’, page 276) and that the load and speed ratings shown on the side wall are the same as that of the original equipment. Contact your Land Rover retailer for further information or assistance.

UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING

Quality Grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

Tires that are deep tread, winter-type snow tires are exempt from the marking requirements as described above. Consequently, the tires fitted to your vehicle may not carry these markings.

All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example; a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1½) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

220

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Tires

Traction

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. The grades represent a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked 'C' may have poor traction performance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature

The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and C, represent a tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperatures can cause the material of a tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.

The grade 'C' corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No 109.

Grades 'B' and 'A' represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Directional Tires

Directional tires give greater benefit when they rotate in a forward direction, i.e., when the vehicle is moving forwards. They give enhanced levels of deep-water grip while still maintaining low tyre noise generation.

Should a tyre be fitted to a vehicle in the wrong directional sense, these benefits will only be maintained if the tyre is remounted to the rim so that it rotates in the direction indicated on the sidewall.

There are two types of directional tyre and the direction indicators are shown in the illustration below.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

SNOW CHAINS

Snow chains are designed for use on hard surface roads in extreme conditions only, and are not recommended for off-road use. If it is necessary to fit snow chains to your Land Rover, ALWAYS observe the following:

• Front wheels: Snow chains must not be

fitted to the front wheels unless the vehicle is equipped with appropriate accessory tires, see ‘WHEELS & TIRES’, page 276.

• Rear wheels: Snow chains can be fitted to

the rear wheels of any vehicle, provided the wheels and tires conform to one of the original equipment or applicable accessory fit specifications listed later in the handbook, see ‘WHEELS & TIRES’, page 276.

• If snow chains are to be fitted (in

accordance with the table in ‘WHEELS & TIRES’, page 276), then ONLY Land Rover approved chains must be used - these are designed for your vehicle and, when correctly fitted, will eliminate any risk of damage to other components.

• Always adhere to the snow chain fitting and

re-tensioning instructions and the speed limitations recommended for varying road conditions. NEVER exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).

• ONLY fit snow chains in pairs.

• Avoid tire damage by removing the chains

as soon as the road is free from snow.

WARNING

DO NOT fit unapproved snow chains to the wheels of your Land Rover - there is a risk that they could damage brake and fuel system components.

Cleaning & Vehicle Care

WASHING YOUR VEHICLE

H3854

CAUTION: Read individual product warnings before using any car cleaning or washing products..

CAUTION: Some high pressure cleaning systems are sufficiently powerful to penetrate door and window seals and damage rubbing strips and locking mechanisms. Never aim the water jet directly at heater air intakes, body and sunroof seals, or at any components that might easily be damaged.

Wash your vehicle frequently using a sponge and generous quantities of cold or slightly warm water containing a car shampoo. Rinse and dry off with a chamois leather.

• Do not use hot water!

• Do not use detergent soap products or

washing-up liquid!

• In hot weather, do not wash the vehicle in

direct sunlight.

Underbody maintenance

Corrosive materials used for snow and ice removal and dust control can collect on underbody parts. If these materials are not removed, accelerated rusting can occur. Use a hose to regularly flush the underbody with plain water, taking particular care to thoroughly clean those areas where mud and other debris can easily collect.

Similarly, after off-road driving or wading in muddy or salt water conditions, use a hose to wash underbody components and other exposed parts of the vehicle.

When using a hose, do not direct the jet into the heater air intake ducts, or through the wheel trim apertures onto the brake components, or at the door, window or sunroof seals, where water pressure could penetrate the seals.

If damage or corrosion to the underbody area is detected, please have the vehicle checked by a retailer at the earliest opportunity.

Steam cleaning

Before steam cleaning the engine compartment, cover the power steering and brake fluid reservoirs to prevent contamination of fluid. After steam cleaning carefully re-wax the metallic components, especially the steering column, engine coolant pipes, hose clips and the ignition coil clamp, to prevent corrosion - if necessary contact your Land Rover retailer for advice.

Removing tar spots

Use mineral spirits to remove tar spots and stubborn grease stains from paintwork. Then wash immediately with soapy water to remove all traces of spirit.

223

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Cleaning & Vehicle Care

Body protection

After washing, inspect the paintwork for damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the bodywork should be repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into major repair expense. Some exterior panels of your vehicle are made of aluminium which will not corrode in the same manner as steel. However, any damage should still receive prompt attention. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your retailer. Larger areas of damage need to be corrected to professional standards immediately.

Cast alloy road wheels

The cast alloy road wheels are covered with a protective coating. To prevent corrosion it is essential that this coating is not damaged. To clean the wheels use a warm soapy liquid, stubborn stains can be removed using a soft brush.

Sunroof

It is essential that the sunroof aperture surround, channels, drain tubes and slides (accessible with the panel fully open), are kept clear, clean and lubricated for efficient operation. This requirement is particularly important in dusty environments.

If necessary contact your Land Rover retailer for advice.

Glass and mirrors

Clean the rear window with a soft cloth to avoid damaging the heating elements. DO NOT scrape the glass or use an abrasive cleaning fluid.

Mirror glass is particularly susceptible to damage. Wash with soapy water. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning compounds or metal scrapers to remove ice.

Polishing

Occasionally treat the paint surface with an approved polish containing the following properties:

• Very mild abrasives to remove surface

contamination without removing or damaging the paint.

• Filling compounds that will fill scratches and

reduce their visibility.

• Wax to provide a protective coating between

the paint and the elements.

NOTE: DO NOT apply car polish to the unpainted areas of the bumper mouldings polish will become ingrained in the textured finished.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

CAUTION: Read individual product warnings

before using any car cleaning or washing products.

Plastic materials

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

NOTE: DO NOT polish facia components - for safety, these should remain non-reflective.

Leather

Leather faced features should be cleaned with a damp cloth moistened with undiluted leather cleaner. Dry and polish the leather with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Land Rover recommends that leather is cleaned and protected at least every six months, but maybe as often as every 1-2 months for high mileage cars or cars kept in a hostile environment.

Leather cleaning kit BAC500490 is recommended and endorsed by Land Rover for this purpose. use in accordance with the instructions printed on the label.

NOTE: Some materials/fabrics are prone to ‘dye-transfer’, which can cause unsightly discolouration of lighter colour leathers. Affected areas should be cleaned and re-protected as soon as possible.

Carpet and fabrics

Clean with diluted nylon upholstery cleaner test on a concealed area first.

Instrument pack, clock and radio

Clean with a dry cloth only! DO NOT use cleaning fluids or sprays.

Seat belts

Extend the belts, then use warm water and a non-detergent soap to clean. Allow the belts to dry naturally, and do not retract them or use the vehicle until they are completely dry.

Airbag module covers

To prevent airbag SRS damage, the steering wheel center pad, the area of the facia panel containing the passenger airbag, the roof headlining and the front door trim panels should ONLY be cleaned sparingly with a damp cloth, warm water and a non-detergent soap.

DO NOT allow these areas to be flooded with liquid, and DO NOT use gasoline, detergent, furniture cream or polishes.

WARNING

DO NOT use chemical or abrasive materials to clean leather. Gasoline, white spirit, alcohol, detergents, washing-up liquid, household cleaners, furniture polishes/creams or solvents should never be used on leather. Whilst these products may give initially impressive results, their use will lead to rapid deterioration of the leather and will invalidate the warranty.

Unlocking

Your vehicle may be configured for Single point entry. This personal security feature unlocks only the driver’s door and disarms the alarm when the handset unlock button (1) is pressed once. To unlock all the remaining doors, press the handset button a second time.

If the ‘Lazy’ unlock feature is enabled, a continuous press of the unlock button (1) will also lower all windows, followed by opening of the sunroof. Release the button to stop the sequence.

Your Land Rover retailer can disable Single point entry so that a single press of the handset button will open all doors and disable the alarm. See ‘Single point entry’, page 35.

The ‘Lazy’ locking/unlocking feature can also be disabled/enabled by your Land Rover retailer. See ‘Lazy locking/unlocking*’, page 38.

Locking

Press the lock button (2) once to lock all doors, arm the alarm system and activate the tilt sensor. If interior space protection or the tilt sensor are not required, press the lock button twice.

H5302

If the ‘Lazy’ locking feature is enabled, all windows and the sunroof can be closed simultaneously with a press and hold of the lock button. See ‘Handset buttons’, page 33.

When the locking sequence is completed, the direction indicator lights and the side repeater lights will flash once. Also the anti-theft alarm indicator light built into the rear view mirror, will start to flash at a slow rate.

Before You Drive

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash, or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Land Rover North America Inc.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your retailer or Land Rover North America.

AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety HOTLINE toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the HOTLINE.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

BEFORE YOU DRIVE

Your Range Rover 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 Range Rover correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. For important safety information, be sure to read the ‘On-Road’ and ‘Off-Road’ driving guidelines given later in this handbook.

Before You Drive

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

While it may be difficult to deter the ‘professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts are carried out by unskilled opportunists. Therefore, take vehicle security very seriously and ALWAYS adopt this simple ‘four point’ drill whenever you leave your vehicle - even for just a few minutes:

1. Fully close all the windows (and the

sunroof).

2. Remove your valuable belongings (or hide

them out of sight).

3. Remove the starter key.

4. Superlock the vehicle using the remote

handset.

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

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY!

• Park where your vehicle can be easily seen

by householders and passers-by.

• At night, park in well lit areas and avoid

deserted or dimly-lit side streets.

• NEVER leave the keys in the vehicle.

• Do not keep important documents (or spare

keys) in the vehicle - these are a real bonus for the thief.

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 onto the shoulder as far as possible. 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 areas).

• Consider evacuating passengers

through the doors facing away from traffic, to a safe area away from the vehicle as a precaution in case your Range Rover is accidentally struck by another vehicle.

ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS

1. Fully close all the windows (and the

sunroof).

2. Remove your valuable belongings (or hide

them out of sight).

3. Remove the starter key.

4. Superlock the vehicle using the remote

handset.

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

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY!

• Park where your vehicle can be easily seen

by householders and passers-by.

• At night, park in well lit areas and avoid

deserted or dimly-lit side streets.

• NEVER leave the keys in the vehicle.

• Do not keep important documents (or spare

keys) in the vehicle - these are a real bonus for the thief.

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Remember the breakdown safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:

• Wherever possible, consistent with

• 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 areas).

• Consider evacuating passengers

through the doors facing away from traffic, to a safe area away from the vehicle as a precaution in case your Range Rover is accidentally struck by another vehicle.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

H3923

The starter switch and steering column lock is located on the center console, forward of the parking brake.

To unlock the steering column

Insert the key into the starter switch.

To lock the steering column

Remove the key from the starter switch.

NOTE: The gear selector MUST be in the ‘P’ (park) position, before the starter key can be removed.

WARNING

Once the steering lock is engaged, it is impossible to steer the vehicle. DO NOT remove the key while the vehicle is in motion.

NOTE: Once removed, the starter key should

not be left in close proximity to the starter switch. This can lead to the steering column lock operating repeatedly, discharging the vehicle battery.

STARTER SWITCH

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

Position ‘0’

• Steering locked (if key is removed).

• Most lighting circuits are operational,

including: sidelights, headlights and hazard warning lights.

• With the driver’s door open, seat switches

and seat memory facility operational.

Position ‘I’

• Steering unlocked.

• Steering wheel adjusts to set driving

position.

• Clock, audio system and cigar lighter can

now be operated.

Position ‘II’

• All instruments, warning lights and

electrical circuits are operational.

Position ‘III’

• The starting sequence is initiated - release

the key immediately the engine starts cranking (the key returns to position ‘II’). The engine will continue to crank automatically until the engine starts. Note that operation of position ‘I’ electrical functions will be interrupted during engine cranking.

NOTE: The gear selector position ‘P’ or ‘N’ must be selected before the engine will start.

131

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Starting & Driving

STARTING

WARNING

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

Before starting the engine and driving, ENSURE you are familiar with the precautions shown under ‘CATALYTIC CONVERTER’, page 136.

In particular, you should be aware that if the engine fails to start, continued use of the starter may result in unburnt fuel damaging the catalytic converter.

1. Check that the parking brake is applied

and that the gear selector is in the ‘P’ (Park) or ‘N’ (Neutral) position.

2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical

equipment.

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

then on to position ‘III’ to operate the starter motor. DO NOT press the accelerator pedal while starting, and RELEASE THE KEY as soon as the engine starts cranking (the engine will automatically continue cranking until the engine starts).

Cold climates

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

After starting

Ensure that the parking brake and foot brake are firmly applied and the accelerator pedal is not depressed while moving the gear selector lever from ‘N’ or ‘P’, otherwise, the vehicle may move immediately the selector lever is moved to one of the drive positions (‘D’ or ‘R’). This is particularly important when the engine is cold, because the engine will be idling at a faster speed than normal.

NOTE: The foot brake MUST be applied, before the gear selection lever can be moved out of ‘P’ or ‘N’ into a drive position.

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

NOTE: The battery charging and oil pressure warning lights should extinguish as soon as the engine is running.

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Starting & Driving

DRIVING

WARNING

Vehicle stability

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

Vehicle height

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

Before driving

Learn the layout and function of all the instruments, warning lights and controls.

Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position from which you can ensure full control of the vehicle.

Always start the vehicle and operate the controls from the driving position.

Instruments and warning lights

Before driving it is important to fully understand the function of the instruments and warning lights (see ‘INSTRUMENT PANEL’, page 73).

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

Warming-up

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

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

When the engine is cold, engine idle speeds will be faster than normal. Under these circumstances, use the foot brake to control the vehicle until the engine is warm and running at normal speed, and be aware of the need to take additional care when manoeuvring the vehicle.

133

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Starting & Driving

Breaking-in

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

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

• LIMIT maximum road speed to 70 mph

(110 km/h) or 3,000 rev/min. Initially, drive the vehicle on a light throttle and only increase engine speeds gradually once the running-in distance has been completed.

• DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the

engine to labour in any gear. It is advisable NOT to use Sport Mode when running in.

• AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking

except in emergencies.

FUEL ECONOMY

Fuel consumption is influenced by two major factors:

• How your vehicle is maintained.

• How you drive your vehicle.

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

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

• Avoid unnecessary, short, start-stop

journeys.

• Avoid fast starts by accelerating gently and

smoothly from rest.

• Do not drive in the lower gears for longer

than necessary (in Manual mode).

• Decelerate gently and avoid sudden and

heavy braking.

• Anticipate obstructions and adjust your

speed accordingly well in advance.

• When stationary in traffic, select neutral

(‘N’) to improve fuel economy and air conditioning performance.

134

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Starting & Driving

AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

CAUTION: DO NOT use auxiliary equipment,

such as roller generators, that are driven by one wheel of the vehicle, as they could cause failure of the gearbox differential.

Some local jurisdictions require emission testing using a two-wheel roller dynamometer. Your vehicle is equipped with permanent 4-wheel drive and cannot be safely operated on these machines. For more information regarding safe emission testing of your vehicle, consult your Land Rover retailer.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

WARNING

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

•

DO NOT inhale exhaust gases.

•

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

•

DO NOT modify the exhaust system from the original design.

•

ALWAYS repair exhaust system leaks immediately.

•

If you think exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle have the cause determined and corrected immediately.

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

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

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

135

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Catalytic Converter

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

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

WARNING

Severe damage to the catalytic converter could occur if the engine is stopped for any length of time when being driven through water whose level is above the exhaust tailpipe.

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

Fuel

ONLY use fuel recommended for your vehicle, see ‘V8 ENGINE’, page 273.

Starting the engine

• DO NOT continue to operate the starter after

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

• When starting a COLD engine, DO NOT drive

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

- seek qualified assistance.

• Do not attempt to push or tow-start the

vehicle.

Driving

• If a misfire is suspected, the ‘Service Engine

Soon’ warning light is flashing or the vehicle lacks power while driving, (provided the engine has reached its normal operating temperature) avoid high speeds and seek immediate assistance from your Land Rover retailer.

• NEVER allow the vehicle to run out of fuel

(the resultant misfire could damage the catalyst).

• Consult your retailer if your vehicle is

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

• On rough terrain do not allow the underside

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

• DO NOT overload or excessively ‘rev’ the

engine.

• DO NOT switch off the engine when the

vehicle is in motion with a drive gear selected.

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

WARNING

136

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Catalytic Converter

Vehicle maintenance

• Any engine misfire, loss of engine

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

• DO NOT run the engine with a spark plug or

HT lead removed, or use any device that requires an insert into a spark plug.

137

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Fuel Filling

GAS STATION SAFETY

FUEL FILLER

WARNING

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

Always place portable gasoline containers on the ground while filling and keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container to avoid a static electricity ignition of fuel vapors. A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a container that is inside a vehicle. You could be burned!

Always take sensible precautions when refuelling:

• Switch off the engine.

• Do not smoke or introduce other ignition

sources.

• Switch off mobile phones.

• Take care not to spill fuel.

• Do not overfill the tank.

• Do not fill gas cans in the vehicle.

• Do not leave the fuel filler pump unattended

during refuelling.

• Use only the hold-open latch provided on

the fuel filler pump. Never jam the latch open with some other object.

WARNING

If a flash fire occurs during refuelling, leave the nozzle in the vehicle fill pipe and back away from the vehicle. Notify the station attendant at once so that all dispensing devices and pumps can be shut off with emergency controls. If the facility is unattended, use the emergency intercom to summon help and the emergency shutdown button to shut off the pump.

To avoid any sudden discharge of fuel caused by excessive fuel vapor pressure, DO NOT fully remove the filler cap until any captive tank pressure has been released.

Take careful note of warning labels located around the filler flap.

H3805

The fuel filler is located in the rear right-hand wing. With the vehicle fully unlocked (all doors and tailgate), press the right side of the fuel filler flap to open (shown in inset).

Carefully turn the cap anti-clockwise and allow any fuel tank pressure to be released. Once the pressure is released, it is safe to fully remove the filler cap. When refuelling, insert the filler cap in the socket on the back of the filler flap (see illustration).

When replacing, tighten the cap clockwise until you hear the fuel cap ratchet click once.

Fuel Filling

TYPE OF FUEL

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ONLY USE UNLEADED FUEL

• Unleaded fuel is essential for proper

operation of the emission control system.

DO NOT use leaded fuel! Your engine is designed to use unleaded fuel ONLY.

• Even a very small quantity of leaded

fuel will damage your vehicle's emission control system and could invalidate the emissions warranty. In addition, leaded fuel will damage the oxygen sensors in the fuel injection system and also seriously damage the catalyst in the catalytic converter.

Fuel system cleaning agents should be avoided, as many of these products can be harmful to gaskets and other materials used in fuel system components.

Octane requirements

Premium unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI octane rating of 90 - 92 should be used.

NOTE: Federal law requires that gasoline octane ratings be posted on the pumps. The Cost of Living Council (CLC) octane rating or Anti Knock Index (AKI) octane rating shown is an average of Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON).

Using unleaded fuel with an octane rating lower than that recommended, can cause persistent, heavy ‘engine knock’ (a metallic rapping noise). If severe, this can lead to engine damage.

If heavy engine knock is detected when using the recommended octane rated fuel, or if steady engine knocking is present while maintaining a steady speed on level roads, contact your retailer for advice.

NOTE: An occasional, light, engine knock while accelerating or climbing hills is acceptable.

Octane enhancers

The use of octane enhancers is not recommended and may invalidate the vehicle warranty.

NOTE: Reformulated gasolines and gasolines that contain detergents, anti-corrosion and stability additives are recommended - they will help your vehicle maintain the correct level of emissions and engine performance.

Driveability

If you encounter driveability, starting and stalling problems, especially in high ambient temperatures or at high altitude when the engine is cold, it may be caused by poor quality fuel. Try an alternative brand and if the problem persists, seek advice from your retailer.

Gasoline/oxygenated fuel blends

To avoid invalidating the vehicle warranty, use ONLY fuels blended within the following limits:

• Up to 15% of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether

(MTBE) and unleaded fuel mix.

• Up to 15% of Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether

(ETBE) and unleaded fuel mix.

• Up to 10% of Ethanol (Ethyl or grain

alcohol) and unleaded fuel mix.

139

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Fuel Filling

Methanol/unleaded fuel blends

In some areas, it is possible to buy unleaded fuel that is blended with up to 5% Methanol (Methyl or wood alcohol) and cosolvents and corrosion preventatives. Using these blends can cause driveability problems and damage the fuel system components. Their use may also invalidate the vehicle warranty. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, AVOID USING FUEL CONTAINING METHANOL!

WARNING

Automotive fuels can cause serious injury and even death if misused.

Methanol/unleaded fuel blends, even in small amounts, can cause blindness and possible death if swallowed. Additionally, take precautions to prevent methanol from coming into contact with the skin.

FUEL FILLING

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

The fuel filler neck will accept ONLY a narrow filler nozzle of the type found on pumps that deliver UNLEADED fuel. A flap lies across the filler neck; insert the nozzle sufficiently to fully open the flap before filling.

Filling difficulties

The fuel delivery rate of gas station pumps can vary significantly. This, coupled with the fact that modern pumps are equipped with a sensor which automatically cuts off the supply as soon as turbulence is detected in the upper part of the vehicle’s filler neck, could result in isolated fuel filling problems.

EMPTY FUEL TANK

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DO NOT run the fuel tank dry!

• Running the fuel tank dry could create

an engine misfire capable of damaging the catalytic converter. DO NOT RUN THE FUEL TANK DRY!

Park Distance Control

Park Distance C ontrol

USING PARK DISTANCE CONTROL (PDC)

Park Distance Control (PDC) is a system that assists the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space, or anywhere there are obstacles that need to be avoided, warning the driver accordingly.

The vehicle is fitted with four ultrasonic sensors on each of the bumpers.

The range of the front sensors, and the two sensors on the corners of the rear bumper is approximately 2 feet (0.6 metre). The two center rear sensors have a range of approximately 5 feet (1.5 metres).

WARNING

Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow. If deposits build up on the surface of the sensors, their performance may be impaired. When washing the vehicle, avoid aiming high pressure jets directly at the sensors at close range.

H3934

WARNING

The parking aid is not infallible, it is for guidance only! The sensors may not be able to detect certain types of obstruction (narrow posts or small narrow objects, small objects close to the ground and some objects with dark, non-reflective surfaces, for example).

142

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Park Distance Control

Activating PDC

PDC is automatically activated whenever the reverse gear (‘R’) is engaged. When the starter switch is turned on, the indicator light in the switch illuminates and a short tone sounds after 1 second as confirmation.

If a long, high pitched tone sounds and the switch indicator light flashes when PDC is activated, then a fault in the system has been detected - contact your retailer for assistance.

PDC in operation

The distance from an obstruction is identified by an intermittent tone sounding (higher pitch for the front sensors and a lower pitch for the rear). As the vehicle moves closer to an obstruction, the frequency of the tone increases proportionally.

When the distance between the sensor and the obstruction is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 metre), the tone becomes continuous.

PDC will remain active until the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or until the vehicle has travelled approximately 165 feet (50 m), when it will automatically deactivate.

H4879

PDC can also be manually selected by pressing the switch (illustrated) on the center front facia (the indicator light in the switch illuminates and a short tone sounds as confirmation). A second press of the switch deactivates the PDC system. If PDC has been manually switched off by pressing the switch, it will not activate automatically until either the switch has been pressed again, or the starter switch has been turned off and on again.

NOTE: The confirmation tone only sounds the first time that PDC is selected (either by selecting reverse, or by pressing the switch), unless the starter switch has been turned off between uses.

Automatic Transmission

Automatic Tran smission

GEAR SELECTOR

H3916

The CommandShift transmission provides both automatic and manual operation of the gears.

Automatic operation

The transmission is naturally in automatic mode. With the engine started, gear selection can be made by moving the selector backward or forward to the appropriate position in a similar manner to other automatic gearboxes.

GEAR SELECTOR LEVER

Selector release button

The gearbox is fitted with a locking mechanism, designed to minimise the risk of accidental selection of the ‘P’ (Park) and ‘R’ (Reverse) positions.

The selector release button (see inset) must be pressed while selecting ‘P’ and ‘R’, and also to enable the lever to be moved between the ‘P’ and ‘R’ positions.

NOTE: With the engine running, or the starter switch in position ‘II’, the selector lever cannot be moved into a drive position unless the foot brake is applied.

CAUTION:

• DO NOT select ‘P’ or ‘R’ if the vehicle is

moving.

• DO NOT select a forward drive gear when

the vehicle is moving backwards.

• Keep engine speed as low as possible when

moving the selector between ‘R’ and a forward gear.

NOTE: The gear selector lever MUST be in the ‘P’ position before the starter key can be removed.

144

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Automatic Transmission

Selector lever positions

An indicator light on the selector panel and a number or letter on the gear selector display in the instrument panel, identify the selected gear position.

‘P’ - Park:

This position mechanically locks the transmission and should be selected before switching the engine off. To avoid transmission damage, ensure the vehicle is completely stationary, with the parking brake applied, before selecting ‘P’.

The selector release button MUST be pressed, in order to move the selector lever into, or out of, the Park position.

‘R’ - Reverse:

Before selecting reverse, ensure the vehicle is stationary, with the brakes applied. Press the selector release button in order to move the selector lever into Reverse.

With the selector lever in the ‘R’ position, Hill Descent Control can be selected (see ‘HILL DESCENT CONTROL’, page 160).

‘N’ - Neutral:

Select neutral when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is required to idle for a brief period (at traffic lights, for example). In neutral, the transmission is not locked, so the parking brake must be applied whenever ‘N’ is selected.

Press the selector release button to move from neutral to reverse.

‘D’ - Drive:

Select for all normal driving; full automatic gear changing occurs on all five forward gears, according to road speed and accelerator position.

145

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Automatic Transmission

Sport mode

To select Sport mode, move the gear lever sideways across the gate from the ‘D’ - Drive position towards the left hand side of the vehicle (see illustration). The word SPORT will appear in the transmission message center (for approximately 6 seconds), the LED in the selector display to the rear of the selector lever (arrowed in inset) illuminates and ‘SPORT MODE’ is displayed in the main message center for 6 seconds.

Sport mode can be deselected at any time, by returning the lever to the ‘D’ position.

P R N

H4894

In Sport mode, full automatic progression through the gear ratios is retained. By selecting Sport mode however, the power transmitted to the road wheels is increased by making lower gears more available. This results in improved mid-range performance, as the vehicle stays in the lower gears for longer. Sport mode also makes the lower gears more available for ‘kick-down’ operation.

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Automatic Transmission

MANUAL CommandShift GEAR SELECTION

H4187

CommandShift gear selection can be used as an alternative to fully automatic transmission and is particularly effective when rapid acceleration or engine braking into corner and descents are required.

There are five ‘gears‘, all of which are selected sequentially by a single forward or rearward movement of the gear selector lever, as follows:

1. With ‘D’ (Drive) selected, move the gear

selector lever sideways from the ‘D’ position towards the left hand side of the vehicle (this is exactly the same as selecting Sport mode).

2. The transmission then automatically

selects the ratio most appropriate to the vehicle's road speed and accelerator depression.

P R N

3. A single forward (‘+’) movement of the

selector lever will change the transmission to a higher gear, while rearward (‘-’) movement of the lever will change down to a lower gear. Repeated forward or rearward movements of the lever can be made until the desired gear ratio has been selected. The selected gear will be indicated in the digital display in the instrument panel (see inset).

4. To deselect manual mode, simply move

the selector lever sideways, back to the ‘D’ position. Automatic gear changing will then resume.

NOTE: In manual mode, ‘kick-down’ is still available for increased acceleration. See ‘‘Kick-down’’, page 148, for more information.

CommandShift in HIGH range

Using

If manual mode is selected in HIGH range, 1st gear must be selected to move off from stationary, normal sequential gear changing can be utilised once the vehicle is moving.

Using

CommandShift in LOW range

If manual mode is selected in LOW range, the vehicle can move off from stationary in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear - this is particularly useful to improve traction when driving off-road. See the ‘Off-road Driving’ section of this handbook, for further details.

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Automatic Transmission

USING AN AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

The following information is particularly important for drivers who are unfamiliar with the techniques required to drive vehicles with automatic transmission.

Starting

The engine can only be started with the selector lever in the ‘P’ (Park) or ‘N’ (Neutral) positions.

• ALWAYS apply the parking brake and foot

brake before starting the engine.

• KEEP THE BRAKES APPLIED while moving

the selector lever into a drive position (the selector lever cannot be moved from the ‘P’ position unless the foot brake is applied).

• DO NOT ‘rev’ the engine or allow it to run

above normal idle speed while selecting ‘D’ or ‘R’, or while the vehicle is stationary with any gear selected.

• ALWAYS keep the brakes applied until you

are ready to move off - remember, once a drive gear has been selected, an ‘automatic’ will tend to creep forward (or backward if reverse is selected).

• DO NOT allow the vehicle to remain

stationary for any length of time with a drive gear selected and the engine running (always select ‘N’ if the engine is to idle for a prolonged period).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This vehicle can NOT be ‘push’ or ‘tow’ started.

Gear change speeds

With ‘D’ selected, the road speeds at which gear changes take place will vary according to the position of the accelerator pedal: minimum acceleration will result in gear changes at low road speeds, while larger throttle openings will cause the gearbox to delay gear changes until faster road speeds have been reached (thereby increasing the rate of acceleration). Depending on vehicle speed, moderate pressure of the accelerator pedal may result in a downshift in gear, further increasing the rate of acceleration.

With practice, gear changes can be made to occur at a wide range of road speeds depending on the accelerator position.

‘Kick-down’

To provide rapid acceleration for overtaking, push the accelerator pedal to the full extent of its travel (this is known as ‘kick-down’), a ‘click’ will be felt through the accelerator pedal. Up to a certain speed, this will cause an immediate downshift to the lowest appropriate gear, followed by rapid acceleration. Once the pedal is relaxed, normal gear change speeds will resume (dependent upon road speed and accelerator pedal position).

NOTE: Moderate accelerator pressure may also result in a downshift in the transmission, depending on vehicle speed.

Driving in ‘D’ or Sport mode

When driving, the transmission will automatically adjust to the most appropriate gear ratio, according to accelerator position, vehicle speed and terrain (whether the vehicle is driving uphill, downhill or on the flat).

148

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Automatic Transmission

‘Kick-down’ in manual CommandShift mode:

When in manual CommandShift mode, kick-down overrides the manual gear selection, to provide increased acceleration. The characteristics of kick-down operation differs according to the gear range selected (HIGH or LOW).

In HIGH range, with manual mode selected, kick-down will cause a downshift of at least two gears (‘5’ to ‘3’, for example). When in LOW range, the downshift will only be one gear (‘5’ to ‘4’, for example).

Parking

After bringing the vehicle to a stop, ALWAYS apply the parking brake and select ‘P’, before releasing the foot brake and switching off the engine. The starter key can only be removed if ‘P’ is selected.

ELECTRONICALLY SELECTED AUTOMATIC MODES

The transmission control system electronically selects different gear change modes, listed below, designed to suit a variety of driving conditions.

NOTE: The electronic modes described below cannot be selected by the driver and will not operate if ‘Sport’ mode is selected.

Hill ascent, trailer and high altitude mode

A suitable gear change pattern is selected which retains lower gears for longer, to counter momentum loss caused by more frequent gear changing, which can occur when climbing hills or when towing a trailer or caravan. This gear change pattern is also selected at high altitudes to combat reduced engine torque.

Hill descent mode

When in manual CommandShift mode, with the optimum gear for engine braking selected, the selector lever can then be moved across to the ‘D’ position. The transmission will retain the previously selected ‘manual’ gear until the descent is completed, then the transmission will automatically change to ‘D’.

High coolant temperature mode

In high ambient temperatures during extreme load conditions, the transmission will select a gear change pattern designed to aid the cooling process, whilst enabling the gearbox to continue performing normally.

Transfer Gearbox

Transfer Gearb ox

TRANSFER GEAR SWITCH

USING THE TRANSFER GEARBOX

Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled transfer gearbox. There are two ways of operating the transfer gear switch; the stationary method - recommended for inexperienced drivers - and the ‘on the move’ method for experienced drivers.

CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to use LOW range gears for normal road driving. Doing so will limit the vehicle’s top speed and may damage drivetrain components.

Stationary method

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, apply the foot brake and then move the automatic gearbox selector to the ‘N’ (neutral) position before moving the transfer gear switch (arrowed) fully rearwards. When the switch is released, it returns to the default position.

Changing from high to low on the move

With the vehicle slowing down and travelling NO FASTER THAN 10 mph (16 km/h), select ‘N’

H4951

The second gearbox (known as the transfer box) is used to select either the high or low range of gears.

High range (‘H’)

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

Low range (‘L’)

Use the low range ratio ONLY in situations where low speed manoeuvring is necessary, such as reversing a trailer or negotiating a boulder strewn river bed; also use low range for more extreme off-road conditions where progress in high range cannot be maintained. DO NOT attempt to use the LOW range ratio for normal road driving.

(neutral) in the main gearbox, then move the transfer gear switch fully rearwards (the switch returns to the ‘forward’ position when released). The low range indicator light in the gear selector display flashes while the range change is occurring. When the range change is complete, the light illuminates constantly, a warning chime will sound and ‘LOW RANGE’ is displayed in the message center for a few seconds. Now select ‘D’ (drive) or Manual CommandShift mode. The transmission interlock prevents the engagement of a drive gear until the range change is complete.

NOTE: If the vehicle speed is too great when a range change is requested, a warning chime sounds and ‘SLOW DOWN’ appears in the message center.

Transfer Gearbox

Changing from low to high on the move

With the vehicle travelling NO FASTER THAN 30 mph (48 km/h), select ‘N’ (neutral) in the main gearbox, then move the transfer gear switch fully rearwards (the switch returns to the ‘forward’ position when released). The low range indicator light in the gear selector display flashes while the range change is occurring. When the range change is complete, the light extinguishes, a warning chime will sound, and ‘HIGH RANGE’ is displayed in the message center for a few seconds. Now select ‘D’ (drive). The transmission interlock prevents the engagement of a drive gear until the range change is complete.

NOTE: If the vehicle speed is too great when a range change is requested, a warning chime sounds and ‘SLOW DOWN’ appears in the message center.

NOTE: If the vehicle is travelling at 2 mph (3 km/h) or less, then any change of ratio is to be carried out as if the vehicle is stationary (i.e. apply the foot brake and select ‘N’, before moving the transfer gear switch). This is necessary to prevent the interlock feature locking the selector lever in ‘N’.

Cruise Control

CRUISE CONTROL

DO NOT use cruise control on winding or slippery road surfaces, or in traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot easily be maintained.

WARNING

4 1

H4084

Cruise control enables the driver to maintain a constant road speed without using the accelerator pedal. This is particularly useful for motorway cruising or for any journey where a constant speed can be maintained for a lengthy period.

The cruise control system has four switches:

1. Master switch (On/Suspend/Off).

2. Resume switch.

3. Accelerate set switch.

4. Decelerate switch.

CAUTION:

Always observe the following precautions:

• DO NOT use cruise control when using

reverse gear.

• DO NOT use cruise control in off-road

conditions such as rough tracks or on sand.

• Use of ‘sport’ mode is not recommended

when cruise control is selected.

• ALWAYS switch off the master switch when

you no longer intend to use cruise control.

NOTE: Cruise control is NOT available when the vehicle is being driven in LOW range gears.

To operate

1. Press the master switch (warning light in

the instrument panel illuminates).

2. Accelerate until the desired cruising speed

is reached. This must be above the system's operational minimum speed of 20 mph (30 km/h).

3. Press the ‘+’ switch (3) to set the vehicle

speed in the system's memory. Cruise control will now maintain that road speed without the need for operation of the accelerator pedal.

With cruise control operating, speed can be increased by normal use of the accelerator e.g. for overtaking. When the accelerator is released, road speed will return to the selected cruising speed.

152

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Cruise Control

To reduce the cruising speed: Press and hold the ‘-’ switch (4); the vehicle will decelerate . Release the switch as soon as the desired speed is reached. The vehicle speed at the point of switch release becomes the new set speed.

Alternatively, the set speed can be decreased incrementally by ‘tapping’ the ‘-’ switch. Each press of the switch will decrease the speed by

0.6 mph (1 km/h).

NOTE: Cruise control will not operate at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h).

To increase the set cruising speed:

Press and hold the ‘+’ switch (3); the vehicle will accelerate . Release the switch as soon as the desired speed is reached.

The vehicle speed at the point of switch release becomes the new set speed.

Alternatively, the set speed can be increased incrementally by ‘tapping’ the ‘+’ switch. Each press of the switch will increase the speed by

0.6 mph (1 km/h).

A further alternative is to increase speed by normal use of the accelerator. When the desired speed is reached, press the ‘+’ switch (3) to set the cruise control.

Switching off cruise control

To switch off cruise control, press the master switch (1) once to suspend cruise control and then press and hold the switch again until the warning light in the instrument panel extinguishes.

NOTE: The set speed held in the cruise control memory will be erased when either the master switch (1) or the starter switch is turned off.

Suspending cruise control

Cruise control will suspend when the gear selector is moved into neutral, or when the brake pedal is pressed or if HDC or DSC becomes active. Cruise control can also be suspended by a single press of the master switch (1).

To resume cruise control at the previously set speed, press the resume switch (2).

Brakes

FOOT BRAKE

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

Power assistance

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

• NEVER allow the vehicle to freewheel with

the engine turned off.

• ALWAYS take particular care when being

towed with the engine turned off.

• If the engine should stop for any reason

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

Wet conditions

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

Brake pads

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

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

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

WARNING

NEVER place non-approved floor matting or any other obstructions under the brake pedal. This restricts pedal travel and braking efficiency.

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

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

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Brakes

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

CAUTION: ABS cannot overcome the physical

limitations of stopping the vehicle in too short a distance, cornering at too high a speed, or the danger of aquaplaning, i.e. where a layer of water prevents adequate contact between the tires and the road surface.

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

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

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

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

DO NOT pump the brake pedal at any time; this will interrupt operation of the system and may increase the stopping distance.

NEVER place non-approved floor matting or any other obstruction under the brake pedal. This restricts pedal travel and may impair brake efficiency.

NOTE: If the vehicle power supply has been

interrupted, ABS will be de-activated. ABS can be reactivated by driving a short distance, or by turning the steering wheel from one limit position to the other while the vehicle is stationary and with the engine running. The ABS warning light will extinguish when the system is reactivated.

Warning light

light illuminates, drive with care, avoiding heavy brake applications and seek qualified assistance urgently. For further information on the functionality of the ABS warning light, see ‘Anti-lock braking system - AMBER’, page 84.

WARNING

A fault with the ABS system is indicated by illumination of the amber ABS warning light. If the

In normal road use, in an emergency situation, ABS functions most effectively when full braking effort is be applied even when the road surface is slippery. The ABS system constantly monitors the speed of each wheel and varies the brake pressure to each, according to the grip.

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

155

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Brakes

Off-road driving

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

Note the following:

• On soft or deep surfaces such as powdery

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

• If the vehicle is stopped on a very steep

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

• Before driving off-road read and thoroughly

understand the ‘Off-road driving’ section of this handbook, see ‘BEFORE YOU DRIVE’, page 175.

Emergency brake assist (EBA)

If the brake pedal is depressed rapidly, EBA automatically boosts the braking force to a maximum and thus helps to stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance, when a full brake application is made. Also, if the driver brakes more slowly, but with sufficient brake pressure to activate ABS on both front wheels, the system automatically increases the braking force so that all four wheels are in ABS control, optimising the performance of the ABS system.

Pressure should be maintained on the brake pedal during the entire brake application. If the brake pedal is released, EBA will cease operation.

A fault with the EBA system is indicated by illumination of the amber brake warning light. In the event of a fault, the system should be checked by a Land Rover retailer at the earliest opportunity.

Electronic brake force distribution (EBD)

Your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), which balances the distribution of braking forces between front and rear axles, in order to maintain maximum braking efficiency under all vehicle loading conditions.

For example; under light loads EBD applies less effort to the rear brakes to maintain vehicle stability, conversely allowing full braking effort to the rear wheels when the vehicle is towing or is heavily laden.

Cornering brake control (CBC)

Cornering brake control (CBC) is an advanced form of ABS, which maintains vehicle stability and steerability when braking whilst cornering or changing lanes at speed.

A fault with the EBD system is indicated by illumination of the red brake warning light. If this illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, gently stop the vehicle as soon as safety permit and seek qualified assistance.
