One or both types of serv ice interval (distance
and time) may be displayed. For example, if an
engine oil service is du e based on mileage, and
a brake fluid change is due based on time, both
distance and time c ountdowns will display.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio book includes a Service
Record section, which enables a record to be
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the
book also has an area for brake fluid changes
to be recorded.
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps
the book after each se rvice and inspection.
Owner Maintenance
In addition to the routine maintenance, a
number of simple checks must be carried out
more frequently. Advice is given on the pages
that follow.
Daily checks
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Weekly checks
• Engine oil level. See ENGINE OIL CHECK
(page 162).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 163).
• Brake/clutch fluid level. See BRAKE AND
CLUTCH FLUID CHECK (page 165). •
Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 166).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 167).
• Tyre pressure s and condition.
• Operate air conditioning.
Note: The engine oil leve l should be checked
more frequently if the vehicle is driven for
prolonged periods at high speeds.
Driving in arduous 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:
• 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 Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporative control equipment,
designed to meet sp ecific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
CAUTION
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be
reported to a qualified technician without
delay.

E81780
E81781
WARNINGS
Ensure that the remote control remains
docked whilst the vehicle is being
towed. Removing the remote control will
engage the steering lo ck, which will prevent
the vehicle from steering correctly.
If the engine cannot be run whilst the
vehicle is being towed, there will be no
power assistance for the steering or brakes.
This will result in grea ter effort being required
to steer or slow the vehicle, and greatly
increased stopping distances.
CAUTIONS
The vehicle should only be towed in a
forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground. Towing in a reverse direction with
two wheels on the ground will result in serious
damage to the transmission.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
maximum of 80 km (50 miles), at a
maximum speed of 80 k m/h (50 mph). Towing
for a greater distance, or at a higher speed may
result in serious dama ge to the transmission.
