Windows and mirrorsELECTRIC WINDOWS
With the ignition on, or engine running, press
the switch down to lower the window, pull it up
to raise the window. Release the switch at any
point to stop window movement.
The windows will operate for five minutes after
the engine is switched off, as long as the doors
are not opened.
One shot operation
All four windows have one-shot operation.
Briefly pull the switch up and release, the
window will continue to raise until fully closed.
Briefly press the switch down and release, the
window will continue to lower until fully open.
Pressing or pulling the switch again will stop
the window.
Overriding anti-trap protection
Anti-trap protection will stop window
movement if an obstruction or resistance is
detected. Check the window and it's aperture
and remove any obstructions , ice, etc. If it is
still necessary to raise the window, the override
procedure is as follows :-
1. Attempt to close the window, anti-trap will
prevent closure and lower the window
slightly.
2. Within ten seconds attempt to raise the
window again, anti-trap will prevent
closure and lower the window slightly.
3. Attempt to close the window for a third
time, this time hold the switch in the close
position. The window will raise whilst the
switch is held. Hold until closed.
Note: If this procedure fails to remove the
blockage, the window operation may need to
be reset.
WARNING
All of the windows have an anti-trap
protection system. However, before
closing a window care must be taken to ensure
that none of the occupa nts have any part of
their body in a position where it could be
trapped. Even with an anti-trap system serious
injury or death can occur.
E81161
WARNING
Ensure that you remove the remote
control when leaving occupants in the
vehicle. This will prevent unsupervised
operation of the windows, which may result in
injury.

Fuel and refuelling
R
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.

L
ENGINE OIL CHECK
The oil consumption of an engine is influenced
by many factors. Under high loads an engine
will consume more oil than usual. Diesel
engines consume slightly more oil than petrol
engines.
Check the oil level weekly, when the engine is
cold and with the vehicle resting on level
ground.
Checking the oil level
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. 1.
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade
clean with a lint free cloth.
2. Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw
again to check the oil level. Never allow the
oil level to fall belo w the lower mark or
notch on the dipstick.
As a general guide, if th e level on the dipstick:
• Is nearer to the upper mark or notch than
the lower, add no oil.
• Is nearer to the lower mark or notch than
the upper, add half a li tre (one pint) of oil.
• Is below the lower mark or notch, add one
litre (two pints) of oil and re-check the level
after a further five minutes.
WARNINGS
While working in the engine
compartment, always observe the
safety precautions liste d under Safety in the
garage. See GENERAL INFORMATION
(page 157).
Do not drive the vehicle if there is a
possibility that leaked fluid will come
into contact with a hot surface, such as the
exhaust. A resulting fi re may cause death or
serious injury.

3. Clean the filler cap before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
4. Remove the filler cap.
5. The brake fluid level should be between the
MIN and the MAX marks.
The fluid level may drop slightly during normal
use as a result of brake pad wear but should
not be allowed to drop below the MIN mark.
Topping up the fluid
1.Top-up the reservoir to the MAX mark
using Shell DOT4 ESL brake fluid. If Shell
DOT4 ESL is not availa ble, a low viscosity
DOT4 brake fluid that meets ISO 4925
class 6 and Land Rover LRES22BF03
requirements ma y be used. 2.
Replace the cap.
3. Fit the reservoir cover in the reverse order
of removal.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Checking the fluid level
Check and top-up the fluid with the vehicle on
level ground, engine switched off, and the
system cold. Ensure that the steering wheel is
not turned after stopping the engine.
CAUTIONS
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces.
Soak up any spillage with an absorbent
cloth immediately and wash the area with a
mixture of car sh ampoo and water.
Only use new fluid from an airtight
container (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).
E84162
WARNINGS
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 the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
CAUTIONS
The engine must not be started if the fluid
level has dropped below the MIN mark.
Severe damage to th e steering pump could
result.
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
there is a noticeable drop in the fluid
level. Severe damage to the steering pump
could result.
If fluid loss is slow, the reservoir may be
topped-up to the uppe r level mark to
enable the vehicle to be driven to a repair
facility for examinatio n. However, it is
recommended that you seek qualified
assistance before driving the vehicle.
