Messages that require driver intervention are
shown in the following table.
Message Meaning What to do?
PROGRAM CHANGE IN PROGRESS Conditions exist which
temporarily prevent selection of a new program. If conditions change within 60
seconds, the chosen program will be activated. If the
message is prompted by
electronic coupling overheat
the delay will be longer. A
separate message will also be displayed.
SYSTEM FAULT SPECIAL
PROGRAMS NOT AVAILABLE A fault exists which renders the
Terrain Response programs unavailable. Use extreme caution if
travelling off road, and seek qualified assistance
immediately.
RECOMMEND COMMAND
SHIFT FOR DEEP SOFT SAND In extreme sand conditions, it
may be beneficial to select
Command Shift to improve driver control. Select Command Shift if
required.

Hill descent control (HDC)
138
L
If the brake pedal is de pressed, HDC will be
overridden and the br akes will operate as
normal. When the brake pedal is released, HDC
will resume control of the descent.
If HDC is switched off during a descent, HDC
assistance will fade out gradually. This is to
prevent loss of control if HDC is switched off in
error. HDC will resume control when switched
back on if assistance is still required, but at the
speed the vehicle is travelling when the pedal is
released.
When driving off-road HDC can be permanently
selected, but it will only provide assistance
when the speed parameters are met.
Warning messages
Brake temperature
In extreme circumstances, the HDC system
may cause brake temperatures to exceed their
pre-set limits. If this occurs the warning
message HDC TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE SYSTEM COOLING will be
displayed in the message centre. HDC will then
fade out and become temporarily inactive.
If the vehicle is not fitted with a message
centre, then the amber HDC warning indicator
will flash.
HDC will remain unavaila ble until the brakes
reach an acceptable temperature. Once the
brakes have reached an acceptable
temperature, the message will disappear (or
the warning indicator wi ll extinguish) and HDC
will, if required, resume operation. System fault
If a fault is detected in the HDC system, HDC
FAULT SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE will appear in
the message centre.
If the vehicle is not fitted with a message centre
the amber HDC warning indicator will
illuminate.
If the fault is detected whilst the system is
operating HDC assistance will fade out.
If a fault is detected, contact you Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Do not attempt a steep descent if HDC
is inoperative, or wa rning messages are
displayed.

MaintenanceGENERAL INFORMATION
Regular systematic maintenance is the key to
ensuring the continued re liability and efficiency
of your vehicle.
Maintenance is the owne r's responsibility and
you must ensure that owner maintenance
operations, oil services, inspections and brake
fluid and coolant changes are carried out when
required and according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The routine maintenance requirements for your
vehicle are shown in the Service Portfolio book.
Most of this necessar y workshop maintenance
requires specialised knowledge and
equipment, and should preferably be entrusted
to a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Service intervals
On vehicles fitted with a message centre, an
upcoming service interval will be notified to the
driver in one of two ways. As a distance left to
travel, or a number of da ys remaining. Once the
distance or time are ex ceeded the display will
show a negative value (-) to indicate that a
service is overdue.
When the ignition is turned on the Odometer
display will show the service information for
five seconds. 1.
Distance to service.
2. Distance by which service is overdue.
1. Number of days to service.
2. Number of days by which service is
overdue.

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.

Topping up the oil
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
2. Add oil to maintain the level between the
MIN and MAX marks or notches on the
dipstick. Clean up any oil spilled during
topping-up.
3. Check the oil level again after 5 minutes.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from MIN to MAX on the
dipstick is 0.8 litres (1.4 pints) - petrol models
or 1.5 litres (2.6 pi nts) - diesel models.
Engine oil specification
Land Rover recommends Castrol oils.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the coolant
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, an amber
warning indicator in the instrument pack will
illuminate. Stop the vehicle and check the
coolant level.
On vehicles with a message centre, the
message LOW COOLANT LEVEL or COOLING
SYSTEM FAULT MONITOR GAUGE will be
displayed in place of the warning indicator.
Checking the coolant level
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least week ly (more frequently in
high mileage or arduous operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks located on the side of
the expansion tank.
CAUTIONS
Your vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if damage is caused by using oil that
does not meet the required specification.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of sludge
and deposits, and increase pollution. It could
also lead to engine failure.
Overfilling with oil could result in severe
engine damage. Oil should be added in
small quantities and the level re-checked to
ensure that the engine is not overfilled.
Model Specification
Petrol engine Use only 0W-30 engine oil, meeting ACEA A5 or
B5 specification.
Diesel engine Use only 5W-30 oil meeting Ford 913-B
specification.
CAUTION
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.

Note: If the warning indicator illuminates, or
the message is displayed while the vehicle is
being driven, stop the vehi cle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes.
Check and top-up the flui d level if necessary.
Checking the fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
1. Release the two catches and lift the rear of
the cover.
2. Slide the cover forward and lift it off
completely.
1. Release the catch.
2. Remove the cover.

the MAX marks.
Topping up the fluid
1.Clean the filler cap before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Remove filler cap.
3. Using Pentosin CHF202 fluid, top-up the
reservoir until the flui d level is between the
MIN and MAX marks.
4. Replace filler cap.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
If the quantity of fluid remaining in
the washer reservoir drops to less
than one litre, an amber warning
indicator in the instrument pack will illuminate
or the message LOW WASHER FLUID will be
displayed in the message centre.
CAUTIONS
Power steering fluid 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.
Do not fill the reservoir above the MAX
mark.
E83619
WARNINGS
Some screen washer products are
inflammable, particul arly if high or
undiluted concentrati ons are exposed to
sparking. Do not allow screen washer fluid to
come into contact with naked flames or
sources of ignition.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a
washer fluid with frost protection. In cold
weather, failure to use a washer fluid with frost
protection, could result in impaired vision and
increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
CAUTIONS
Do not use an antifree ze or vinegar/water
solution in the washer reservoir -
antifreeze will damage painted surfaces, while
vinegar can damage th e windscreen washer
pump.
Body panels may suff er discolouration as
a result of screen washer fluid spillage.
Take care to avoid spilla ge, particularly if an
undiluted or high concentr ation is being used.
If spillage occurs, wash the affected area
immediately with water.
