Brakes

BrakesPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first 800
km (500 miles) to avoi d then need for heavy
braking.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
those circumstances it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brak es intermittently to
dry the brakes.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braki ng System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
During emergency brak ing conditions ABS
constantly monitors the speed of each wheel.
ABS varies the brake pressure to individual
wheels, according to the grip available. The
constant alteration of brake pressure can be
felt as a pulsing sensat ion through the brake
pedal. This is not a cause for concern, as it is
designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS
is operating.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates, driv e with extra
caution, avoid heavy braking where
possible, and seek qualified assistance as soon
as possible.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can re sult in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes will still
function with the engine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of brak ing distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface, aquaplaning on water for
example.
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, paying partic ular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.
Brakes

L
ABS and off-road driving
ABS will operate when driving off-road,
however it may be unw ise to rely on it's
assistance under some conditions.
Stopping distances will be increased when
travelling over rough, or bumpy terrain.
Soft surfaces
On soft or deep surfaces such as powdery
snow, sand, or gravel, the braking distance
required will be increased. This is because the
natural action of a lock ed wheel (which cannot
happen when ABS is operating) is to form a
wedge of surface material in front of the wheel,
which reduces the stopping distance.
Steep slopes
If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery
slope, it may begin to slide even with the
brakes applied. This is because without wheel
rotation the ABS cannot determine vehicle
movement.
To counteract this, briefl y release the brakes to
allow some wheel rota tion. Then re-apply the
brakes to allow ABS to gain control.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, EBA
automatically boosts the braking force to it's
maximum in order to bring the vehicle to a halt
as quickly as possible. If the driver applies the
brakes slowly, but condi tions mean that ABS
operates on the front wheels, EBA will increase
the braking force in order to apply ABS control
to the rear wheels.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
A fault with the EBA system is
indicated by the red brake warning
indicator illuminating.
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
EBD controls the balanc e of braking forces
supplied to the front and rear wheels, in order
to maintain maximum braking efficiency.
If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in
the vehicle for example) the EBD will reduce the
braking force applied to the rear wheels. If the
vehicle is heavily laden then EBD will increase
the braking force to the rear wheels.
A fault with the EBD system is
indicated by the red brake warning
indicator illuminating.
PARKING BRAKE
Parking on a slope
Facing uphill
If the vehicle is parked facing uphill, select first
gear (manual gearbox), or Park (automatic
gearbox), and turn the steering wheel so that
the front wheels face away from the kerb.
Facing downhill
If the vehicle is parked facing downhill, select
reverse gear (manual gearbox), or Park
(automatic gearbox), and turn the steering
wheel so that the front wheels face towards the
kerb.

Maintenance
R
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissions, engi ne performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes and four wheel drive, it is essential that
any dynamometer testing is carried out only by
a qualified person, familiar with the
dynamometer testing an d safety procedures
practised by Land Rove r Dealers/Authorised
Repairers.
Safety in the garage
Fuel system
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, antifreeze, brake, clutch and
power steering fluid, petr ol, diesel, engine oil
and windscreen washer additives.
For your own safety, al ways 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.
WARNINGS
If the vehicle has been driven recently,
do not touch exhaust and cooling
system components un til the engine has
cooled.
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.
Keep your hands and clothing away
from drive belt s and pulleys.
Remove metal wr ist bands and
jewellery, before working in the engine
compartment.
Do not touch electrical leads or
components while the engine is
running, or with the starter switch turned on.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of the
vehicle to make contact with the battery
leads or terminals.
WARNINGS
Under no circumstances should any
part of the fuel system be dismantled or
replaced by anyone other than a suitably
qualified vehicle technician. Failure to comply
with this instruction, may result in fuel spillage
with a consequent serious risk of fire.
Ensure sparks and naked lights are kept
away from the engine compartment.
Wear protective cl othing, including,
where practicable, gloves made from
an impervious material.

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.
