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
operating mode.
CAUTION
Never allow your vehicl e to run out of fuel
as the resultant misfire may destroy the
catalytic converter.

DATA RECORDING
Service data recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or
status of various syst ems and modules in the
vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or
brakes.
In order to properly di agnose and service your
vehicle, Land Rover a nd service and repair
facilities may access vehicle diagnostic
information through a direct connection to
your vehicle.
Event data recording
Event data recorders are capable of collecting
and storing data during a crash or near-crash
event. The recorded information may assist in
the investigation of such an event. The
modules may record information about both
the vehicle and the oc cupants, potentially
including information such as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were buckled.
• How far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or the brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.
To access this information special equipment
must be connected directly to the recording
modules. Land Rover do not access event data
recorder information without obtaining
consent, unless pursuan t to court order or
where required by law enforcement, other
government authorities or third parties acting
with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the
information independe ntly of Land Rover.
DISABILITY MODIFICATIONS
Occupants with disabili ties which may require
modification of the vehi cle must contact a Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer before any
modifications are made.
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
WARNINGS
The fitting of non-approved parts and
accessories, or the carrying out of
non-approved alterations or
conversions, may be dangerous and could
affect the safety of th e vehicle and occupants
and also invalidate the terms and conditions of
the vehicle warranty.
Land Rover will not accept any liability
for death, personal injury or damage to
property which may occur as a direct
result of fitment of non-approved accessories
or the carrying out of non-approved
conversions to La nd Rover vehicles.
Land Rover strongly advise against
making any modifications to the
suspension or steering system. This
could seriously affe ct the handling and
stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control
or roll-over.
