Operational status indicator
The passenger airbag operational status
indicator illuminates yellow when the airbag
has been disabled.
Note: The indicator will on ly illuminate when
the ignition is turned on, or the engine is
running.
AIRBAG SERVICE INFORMATION
All of the following opera tions should only be
carried out by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer, or suitably qualified person :-
• Removal or repair of any wiring or
component in the vicinity of any SRS
components.
• Installation of electr ical, or electronic,
equipment and accessories.
• Modification to the front or sides of the
vehicle exterior.
• Attachment of accessor ies to the front or
sides of the vehicle.
WARNING
When checking the operational status
of the front passenger airbag, ensure
that the ignition is switched on.
E82785
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to service, repair,
replace, modify, or tamper with, any
part of the SRS. Thi s includes wiring or
components in the vicinity of SRS
components. Doing so may cause the system
to trigger, or render the system inoperative,
either of which may resu lt in death or serious
injuries.
Do not use any electrical test
equipment, or devices in the vicinity of
SRS components or wiring. Doing so
may cause the system to trigger, or render the
system inoperative , either of which may result
in death or serious injuries.

Maintenance
158
L
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.

Wheels and tyres
178
L
All of the vehicle's tyres (including the spare)
should be checked regularly for damage, wear
and distortion. If you ar e in any doubt about the
condition of a tyre, have it checked immediately
by a tyre repair centre, or your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised repairer.
Tyre wear
Good driving practise w ill improve the mileage
you obtain from your tyres, and avoid
unnecessary damage.
• Always ensure that the tyre pressures are
correctly adjusted.
• Always observe the posted speed limits,
and advisory speeds for bends.
• Avoid pulling away quickly, or hard
acceleration.
• Avoid making fast turns or braking
sharply.
• Wherever possible, avoid potholes, or
obstacles on the road.
• Do not drive up kerbs, or rub the tyres
against them when parking.
Wear indicators When the tread has worn down to
approximately 2 mm, wear indicators start to
appear at the surface of the tread pattern. This
produces a continuous ba nd of rubber across
the tread as a visual indicator.
To maintain performance and grip the tyre
must be replaced as s oon as the wear indicator
becomes visible. Sooner, if legislation requires
replacement at a greater tread depth.
Note: Tread depth should be checked
regularly, in some case more frequently than
the service intervals. For advice on checking
tyres contact your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised repairer, or a tyre dealer.
Age degradation
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmen tal conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
Land Rover recommends that even if unused,
the spare tyre be replaced at the same time as
the four road tyres.
Punctured tyres
WARNING
Wear indicators show the minimum
tread depth recommended by the
manufacturers. Tyres whic h have worn to this
point will have reduced grip and poor water
displacement characteristics.
CAUTION
If tread wear is uneve n across a tyre, or
the tyre wears excessively, the vehicle
should be checked by your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with a
punctured tyre. Even if the punctured
tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to use as the
tyre may deflat e suddenly at an y time. See
TYRE REPAIR KIT (page 187).
