CAUTIONS
Land Rover petrol engines are not fitted
with equipment necessary for use of
fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuels (85 percent ethanol
content). If E85 fuels are used, serious
engine and fuel system damage will occur.
CAUTION
If the fuel tank is accidentally filled with
the wrong type of fuel, it is essential that
the engine is not starte d and you seek qualified
assistance.

Single and double locking
The vehicle can be locked in two ways.
Single locking
Single locking secures the vehicle and prevents
the doors being opened from outside of the
vehicle. The doors can be unlocked and opened
from inside the vehicle.
Double locking
Double locking secures the vehicle and
prevents the doors being opened from inside
or outside of the vehicle. The doors can not be
unlocked or opened from inside the vehicle.
This provides additional security if the vehicle
is left unattended. The vehicle cannot be
opened by breaking a window and operating
the door locks from inside the vehicle.
Locking
Press briefly to single lock the
vehicle, and partially activate the
alarm. The hazard warning lamps
will flash to indicate that the vehicle is locked.
A second press within three seconds will
double lock the vehicle and fully arm the alarm.
The hazard warning lamps will flash again to
indicate the enhanced lock/alarm state.
Note: The fuel filler flap can only be opened
when the vehicle is unlocked. Global closing
Press and hold the lock button for three
seconds to single lock the vehicle, fully arm the
alarm, and close all of the windows.
Note: For safety reasons, th e sunroof does not
close automatically. It sh ould be closed in the
normal way before exiting the vehicle.
Automatic relocking
If a door, or the tailgate, are not opened within
one minute of unlocking the vehicle, doors will
lock again automatically.
Approach lighting
When approaching the vehicle
during darkness press to switch on
the approach illumination. Press
again to turn the approach lamps off.
The approach ill umination period
set at the factory is thirty seconds.
This can be configured by a Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer to provide
illumination lasting between Zero and 120
seconds.
WARNING
Never double lock the vehicle with
people, children, or pets inside. In the
event of an emergency th ey would be unable to
escape, and the emergency services would be
unable to release them quickly.
WARNING
Ensure that no children, pets, or
obstructions are in any open aperture
before operating globa l closing. Safety
mechanisms are in place to prevent serious
injury, however, inju ries can still occur.

Alternative fuels for petrol engines
Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% Ethanol (grain
alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers
will not notice any opera ting difference with
fuel containing Ethanol . If a difference is
detected, the use of c onventional unleaded fuel
should be resumed.
Methanol
Some fuels contain Methanol (Methyl or wood
alcohol). If you use fuel s containing Methanol
the fuels must also contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors for Methanol. Also, do not
use fuels which contain more than 3%
Methanol even if they contain co-solvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems resulting from
the use of such fuels is not the responsibility of
Land Rover, and may not be covered under the
warranty. Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)
Unleaded fuel containing an oxygenate known
as MTBE can be used provided that the ratio of
MTBE to conventional fuel does not exceed
15%. MTBE is an Ether based compound
derived from Petroleum, which has been
specified by several refi ners as the substance
to enhance the Octane rating of fuel.
Reformulated gasoline
Several petroleum companies have announced
the availability of refo rmulated fuels. These
fuels are specially formulated to further reduce
vehicle emissi ons. Land Rover fully supports
all efforts to protect and maintain ambient air
quality, and encour ages the use of
reformulated gasoline where available.
Diesel engined vehicles
Note: Land Rover vehicle's are capable of
running with up to a 5% blend of bio-diesel in
accordance with European Standard EN590.
Sulphur content
The Sulphur content of diesel used in Land
Rover vehicles shoul d not exceed 0.3%.
In some countries dies el will contain higher
levers of Sulphur, whic h will require reduced
service intervals to reduce the effects on
engine components. If in doubt contact a local
Land Rover Dealer/Aut horised Repairer for
advice.
CAUTIONS
This vehicle is not suitable for use with
fuels containing more than 10%
Ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuels (85% Ethanol
content). Equipment necessary for the
use of fuels containing more than 10%
Ethanol is not fitted to this vehicle. If E85 fuels
are used, serious engine and fuels system
damage will occur.
CAUTION
Wherever possible avoid using fuel
containing Methanol.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel, a
minimum of 4 litres (0 .8 gallons) will be
required to restart the engine. The vehicle will
need to be driven 1.6-5 km (1-3 miles) in order
to reset the engine management and
monitoring systems.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
FUEL CUT-OFF
The fuel system cut-off forms part of the
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fitted
to your vehicle. Following an impact, and
depending on the severity, the fuel pump may
be switched off.
Resetting the fuel cut-off
1. Switch the ignition off and wait for one
minute.
2. Turn the ignition on for 30 seconds.
3. Check the vehicle thor oughly for fuel leaks.
If a leak is detected switch the ignition off
immediately.
• Do not start the vehicle if a leak is
present. Seek qualifi ed advice, and have
the vehicle recovered.
4. If no leaks are detected, start the vehicle.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
The fuel filler flap is located on the right-hand
side of the vehicle, at the rear.
1. Ensure that the vehicle is fully unlocked,
and pull the fuel filler flap open.
2. Twist the cap anti-clockwise to undo.
• Ensure that you re ad, understand, and
fully comply with all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed to
the inside of the fuel filler flap.
3. Use the retaining clip to keep the filler cap
out of the way whilst fuelling.
CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel. Doing so can
cause damage to the vehicle's engine,
fuel, and emission control systems.
WARNING
The fuel cut-off s hould never be reset
if you can smell fuel , or a leak can be
seen. Doing so can lead to a fire which
may cause personal injury or death.
WARNINGS
Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
allow the pressure to release before
fully removing the cap to avoid fuel
spillage due to rapid expansion.

REFUELLING
Fuel filler
Note: Filling station pumps used for diesel
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher
rate than normal. The hi gher fill rate can cause
premature cut-off, and may cause fuel spillage.
Therefore it is recommended that only
standard light vehicle pumps are used.
Take note of all warnings and
instructions given on the label affixed
to the inside of the filler flap. Failure to
do so may result in injury or death.
WARNINGS
When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle. Fuel vapour
contains harmful chem ical compounds, some
of which may cause cancer.
Do not attempt to fill the tank to its
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope, in direct
sunlight, or high ambient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause spillage.
Filling station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel
spillage. Fill the tank sl owly until the filler
nozzle automatically cuts -off the supply. Do
not attempt to fill the tank beyond this point.
WARNINGS
E82221
CAUTIONS
Ensure that you check the fuel pump
information carefully to ensure that you
are putting the correct fuel into the
vehicle. Filling a vehicle with the incorrect fuel
can cause serious engi ne and fuel system
damage.
If the vehicle is filled with incorrect fuel
it is essential that you seek qualified
assistance before you start the engine.
Running the engine can cause serious engine
and fuel system damage.
