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.

Load carryingGENERAL INFORMATION
Weights and load capacities
Note: It is the driver's re sponsibility to ensure
that the maximum weights are not exceeded,
and that the load is distributed correctly within
the vehicle.
Information and values for the maximum
weights can be found in the Weights section.
See WEIGHTS (page 212).
Loadspace floor
The loadspace floor is reversible to prevent
damage/staining of the carpet when
transporting muddy boots or wet dogs for
example.
To reverse the loadspace floor :-
1. Raise the loadspace floor.
2. Pull the floor towards the rear of the
vehicle, and remove it from the vehicle.
3. Turn the floor over so that the required
surface is uppermost.
4. Insert the forward edge of the floor into the
retaining channel, and lower the floor into
position.
WARNING
When removing or replacing the
loadspace floor take care that your
hands and fingers are placed so that
they do not become trapped between the floor
and vehicle. Ensure that children are kept at a
safe distance to avoi d accidental injury.

LUGGAGE ANCHOR POINTS
1. Load securing rings.
• Four load securing rings are provided in
the rear luggage area to assist in safely
securing items carried.
2. Bag hooks.
• A bag hook is provided on each side of
the load area. These should be used to
secure relatively light items such as
shopping bags. Note:
A range of approved luggage retention
accessories are available from your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Reversible floor
The luggage compartment floor has been
designed with two load surfaces. A carpeted
side, which can be used in the normal way, and
a hard, wipe clean surface. The hard surface
can be used when transporting items which are
wet, dirty, or may damage the carpeted
surface.
To change between the two surfaces simply
remove the floor panel and reinstall it with the
required surface facing upwards.
WARNINGS
All items carried in the luggage area
should be properl y secured. Loose
items can cause serious injury or death
in the event of an accident or sudden
manoeuvre.
Do not use the bag hooks to secure
heavy items. Items which are not
properly secured can cause serious
injury or death during an accident or sudden
manoeuvre.

LUGGAGE COVERS
Fitting the luggage cover
1. Insert the location peg on the left-hand end
of the luggage cover into the slot.
2. Lower the right-hand end into position by
pulling back th e release button.
3. Ensure that when the cover is in position
the release button returns to its engaged
position.
Reverse the installation procedure to remove
the luggage cover.
Operating the luggage cover
1. Pull the luggage cover blind towards the
rear of the vehicle.
2. Engage the end pegs into the recesses
provided in the lugga ge space side trims.
WARNING
When fitting the luggage cover ensure
that the location pegs on the left-hand
side are fully engaged, and the release
button on the right-hand side is fully home.
Failure to do so may allow the luggage cover to
move during an accident or sudden
manoeuvre.
E83609
WARNING
Never place objects on top of the
luggage cover. During an accident or
sudden manoeuvre l oose objects can
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTIONS
When retracting the cover, ensure that
no items are on top of the cover. Items
left on top of the cove r, paper or fabrics
for example, may be drawn into the
mechanism and cause it to jam.
If the cover is damaged in any way, it
should not be used. The damaged area
may prevent the cover from operating
correctly.

TowingTOWING A TRAILER
Note: It is the driver's re sponsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer are being
used correctly, and in accordance with
manufacturers recomm endations and any
applicable legislation.
Trailer electrical connection
Note: The rear parking sensors are
automatically disabled when the trailer
electrical conne ction is made.
The vehicle's electrical system has been
designed to support all towing requirements,
and comply with legal requirements for the
specific territory in which the vehicle is first
sold.
E82249
WARNINGS
Never exceed the maximum weights for
either the vehicle, or the trailer. Doing
so can cause accelerate d wear and damage to
the vehicle. It can also adversely affect vehicle
stability and braking, which in turn can lead to
loss of control and incr eased braking distance
resulting in a rollover or crash.
To preserve handling and stability, only
fit Land Rover approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes, or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose, and doing so
may cause them to fail resulting in injury or
death.
CAUTION
Only connect approved electrical circuits,
which are in good condition to the trailer
socket. Connecting incorrect , or faulty circuits
may seriously damage the vehicle's electrical
circuits.

R
LEVELLING
To maintain vehicle stability, it is essential that
the trailer is loaded so that it remains parallel to
the ground. This is partic ularly important when
towing twin axled trailers.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be pa rallel to the ground
when loaded.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 212).
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle
loading conditions. See WEIGHTS
(page 212).
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacture r's recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is
limited to 150 kg (330 lbs). •
If it is necessary to increase the nose
weight, up to a maximum of 250 kg (550
lbs) the vehicle load should be reduced
accordingly. This ensures that the GVW,
and maximum rear axle load are not
exceeded.
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer' s instructions for
guidance.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer lights.
E82250
WARNING
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.

RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS
Note: When towing the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight can be increased by a
maximum of 100 kg (220 lbs) provided that the
road speed is limited to 100 km/h (60 mph).
Note: When calculating rear axle loading,
remember that the trailer nose weight, the load
in the vehicle's luggage area, weight on the
roof rack, and the weight of rear seat
passengers must all be added together.
Maximum permissible towing
weights On-road Off-road
Unbraked trailers 750 kg (1650 lbs) 750 kg (1650 lbs)
Trailers with overrun brakes 2000 kg (4400 lbs) 750 kg (1650 lbs)
Nose weight 150 kg (330 lbs) 150 kg (330 lbs)
WARNING
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), maximum rear axle
weight, maximum trai ler weight, or nose
weight. Exceeding any of these limits could
cause instability and lo ss of control. See
WEIGHTS (page 212).
