Effects of disconnecting
Disconnecting the battery can affect a number
of vehicle systems, especially if there is
insufficient battery power prior to
disconnection. For example, the alarm may
trigger depending on it's state when the battery
was disconnected. If the alarm does sound,
use the remote control in the normal way to
disarm the security system. The windows may
need resetting to enable the one-shot feature to
operate correctly. See ELECTRIC WINDOWS
(page 93).
Replacement batteries
Battery disposal
Note: Used batteries must be disposed of
correctly as they contain a number of harmful
substances. Seek advice on disposal from your
Land Rover Dealer/Authoris ed Repairer, and/or
your local authority.
Refitting
A new battery should be supplied with plastic
terminal covers. Leave the covers in place
when fitting the battery, and remove them one
at a time to fit the battery cable clamps.
Refitting is an exact reversal of the removal
procedure. If you are in any doubt about fitting
a battery seek qualified assistance before
attempting to fit the battery.
WARNING
Only fit a battery of the correct type and
rating. Fitting an in correct battery may
result in a fire, or damage to the electrical
system. If you are in any doubt when fitting a
battery seek qualified assistance.
WARNING
When refitting the battery ensure that
no metal objects , or vehicle
components, come into contact with the
battery terminals. Metal objects can cause a
spark or short circuit, both of which may result
in an explosion.
CAUTIONS
Ensure that when fitting a battery to the
vehicle, the terminals and battery clamps
are clean, and lightly coated with petroleum
jelly. This will ensure good electrical
connections are made, and help to prevent
corrosion.
Always follow the battery manufacturers
instructions. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the vehicl e and/or the electrical
system.
