Quick start
L
Tachometer
Indicates engine spee d in revolutions per
minute (x 1 000). In normal driving conditions
the engine is most fuel efficient between 2 000
and 3 000 rev/min.
Temperature gauge
At normal operating temperature, the pointer is
positioned midway between the red and blue
segments of the gauge (the precise position
will vary according to climatic conditions).
If the pointer moves into the red segment and
the red warning indicator (arrowed)
illuminates, severe engi ne damage could occur
(under these circumstances the air
conditioning may switch off and engine
performance may reduce to minimise engine
load).
If the engine overheats, stop the vehicle as
soon as safety pe rmits. Switch the engine off
and allow it to cool down. If the problem
reoccurs, seek qualified assistance before
continuing.
Fuel gauge When the ignition is on the pointer quickly rises
to show the level of fuel in the tank.
When the amber low fuel warning indicator
(arrowed) illuminates, the remaining fuel
should give a range of 80 km (50 miles). The
small arrow alongside th e fuel pump symbol
indicates the side of the vehicle on which the
fuel filler is located.
Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder
Indicates the total distance travelled, and also
shows the most recent individual journey
distance.
Trip recorder reset switch
With the ignition on, press to reset the trip
recorder back to zero.
Selected gear display
Displays the currently selected gear and

Brakes
R
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.

Vehicle care
R
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used on highways to
control snow and ice, as well as accumulations
from off-road driving or wading in salt water,
can collect on the vehi cle's underbody. If these
materials are not removed accelerated
corrosion can occur. Regularly flush the
underbody with plain wate r, and pay particular
attention to areas where mud and debris
collect.
If damage or corrosion are detected, have the
vehicle checked by a Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Re pairer as soon as
possible.
Glass and mirrors
The rear screen, and mi rror glass' should only
be cleaned using soapy water and a soft cloth.
This will avoid damaging the reflective surface
of the mirror, and the heating elements and
antenna in the rear screen.
Never use abrasive cleaning products, or metal
ice scrapers on the mirrors or the front/rear
screens.
Cleaning after off-road driving
Ensure that the vehicle und erside is cleaned as
soon as possible after dr iving off-road. Further
information on cleaning af ter off-road use is
available in the off-road driving handbook. This
can be found on-line at
http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com .
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Plastic and cloth
Clean plastic or cloth faced surfaces with warm
water and non-detergent soap. Then wipe clean
with a soft cloth.
Leather
CAUTION
Ensure that the areas around air intakes
and the front grille ar e clean and clear of
debris. Pay particular attention to the
lower grille and radiator . Failure to do so may
cause the engine to overheat, leading to severe
engine damage.
E84158
WARNING
Ensure that you read all of the
information and inst ructions for use
provided with cleaning products.
Some products contain substances that are
harmful and can cause he alth problems if used
incorrectly.
CAUTION
Some products, if us ed incorrectly can
cause damage to the in terior surfaces of
the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not polish the instrument panel.
Polished surfaces are reflective, and
may interfere with the drivers view.
CAUTIONS
Only use cleaning pr oducts specifically
designed for use on le ather. Do not use
chemical, alcohol, or abrasive materials,
as they will cause rapi d deterioration of the
leather. The use of products which are not
approved will invalidate your warranty.

Maintenance
164
L
If the level has fallen appreciably, suspect
leakage or overheatin g and arrange for the
vehicle to be exam ined by a qualified
technician.
Topping up the coolant
Top-up to the upper le vel indicator mark
located on the side of the expansion tank. Use
only a 50% mix of water and Texaco XLC
antifreeze.
Note: In an emergency - and only if the
approved antifreeze is unavailable - top-up the
cooling system with clea n water, but be aware
of the resultant reduction in frost protection.
Do not top-up or refill with conventional
antifreeze formulations. If in doubt consult a
qualified technician.
Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is
completed by turning the cap until the ratchet
cap clicks. Antifreeze
Antifreeze contains important corrosion
inhibitors. The antifreeze 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 antifreeze content should be
checked once a year and completely renewed
every ten years, regardless of distance
travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion
of the radiator and engine components.
The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze
solution at 20°C (68°F) is 1.068 and protects
against frost down to -40°C (-40°F).
WARNINGS
Never remove the filler cap when the
engine is hot - escaping steam or
scalding water could ca use serious personal
injury.
Avoid spilling antifreeze onto a hot
engine - a fire may result.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing
the pressure to escape before removing
completely.
CAUTION
When travelling in territories where the
water supply contains salt, always
ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain or
distilled) water. Topping up with salt water will
cause serious engine damage.
WARNINGS
Antifreeze is poisonous and can be fatal
if swallowed - keep containers sealed
and out of the reach of children. If accidental
consumption is suspec ted, seek medical
attention immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
CAUTIONS
The use of non-approved antifreeze will
have an adverse ef fect on the engine
cooling system and therefore engine
durability.
Antifreeze 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.

Wheels and tyres

L
Using the Land Rover tyre repair kit
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should
be made aware that a temporary repair has
been made to a tyre fitted to the vehicle. They
should also be made aware of the special
driving conditions im posed when using a
repaired tyre. Repair procedure
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the
maximum speed label. Attach the label to
the facia in the driver's field of view. Take
care not to obstruct any of the instruments
or warning lights.
2. Uncoil the compressor power cable and
the inflation hose.
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the sealant
bottle receiver, and the sealant bottle cap.
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the receiver
(clockwise) until tight.
• Screwing the bottle onto the receiver will
pierce the bottle's se al. Do not unscrew
a full, or partly us ed bottle from the
receiver. Doing so will result in the
sealant leaking from the bottle.
5. Remove the valve cap from the damaged
tyre.
6. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose, and c onnect the inflation
hose to the tyre valve. Ensure that the hose
is screwed on firmly.
7. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off ( O) position.
8. Insert the power cable connector into an
auxiliary power socket. See AUXILIARY
POWER SOCKETS (page 110).
9. Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed or
poorly ventilated area , start the engine.
10. Set the compressor switch to the on ( l)
position.
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.8 bar (26
lb/in²) and a maximum of 3.5 bar (51
lb/in²).
†
WARNINGS
Avoid skin contact with the sealant
which contains natu ral rubber latex.
Do not unscrew the sealant bottle from the
receiver until it is empty, as sealant will leak
out.
If the tyre inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 lb/in²) within seven
minutes, the tyre may have suffered excessive
damage. A temporary repair will not be
possible, and the vehicle should not be driven
until the tyre has been replaced.
CAUTIONS
Before attempting a tyre repair, ensure
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far
away from passing traffic as possible.
Ensure that the parki ng brake is applied,
and P is selected if an automatic
transmission is fitted.
Do not attempt to remove foreign objects
such as nails, screws, etc from the tyre.
Always run the engine when using the
compressor, unless the vehicle is in an
enclosed, or poorly ventilated space.
To prevent overheating do not operate
the compressor continuously for longer
than ten minutes.
