Wipers and washers
88
L
The rain sensor is able to detect the presence  
and amount of rain/dirt/snow on the  
windscreen.
Operation
To use the rain sensitive wipers, move the 
wiper stalk to position   1 rain  
sensor/intermittent   variable delay. 
Adjusting the sensitivity 
Rotate the control upwards to increase the  
sensitivity, and down to   reduce the sensitivity. 
If the sensor detects co  nstant rain the wipers  
will operate continuously.
WINDSCREEN WASHERS
To operate the windscreen wash press the  
button on the end of the   wiper stalk. When the  
button is released, the wi  pers will complete two  
additional strokes, and then park.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically  
with the windscreen wash, and will only  
operate if the headlamps are switched on and 
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.  
Headlamp wash operates with every fifth  
operation of the screen   washers, or if ten  
minutes have elapsed si  nce the last operation  
of the screen washers,   they will operate again  
immediately. 
Note:    The headlamps are washed alternately  
to prevent the washer fluid from reducing the  
light output for both headlamps at the same 
time.
E80687
E80684
WARNING 
Some screenwash products are  
flammable, do not allow screenwash to  
come into contact with sources of ignition.
CAUTION 
Only screenwash products which are  
approved for automotive use should be  
used, and only in accordance with the  
manufacturers instructions.

Blocked jets
If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin  
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting  
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is  
completely remove  d after unblocking.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiping edge of the blades should be  
checked, and cleaned pe  riodically. Check the  
blade rubber for cracks  , splits, and roughness.  
If any damage, wear, or roughness is detected 
the blade should be repl  aced immediately to  
prevent damage to the glass. 
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth  
or sponge, using warm soapy water.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
Service position
The windscreen wiper se  rvice position allows  
the wipers to be parked in a more accessible  
position. This makes it ea  sier to change wiper  
blades, or free the wipers from frost/ice.
WARNING 
Do not operate the washer jets during  
adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid  
may cause irritation to the eyes and skin.  
Alway read and observe the washer fluid  
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING 
Only use cleaning pr  oducts which have  
been approved for use on automotive 
glass and rubber. Inappr  opriate products can  
cause smearing, and increase glare.
E80573
CAUTIONS 
When checking or changing the wiper  
blades, they can be set to the service  
position, or parked normally. 
The wipers will return to their normal  
parked position when the ignition is  
turned on. To prevent damage to the  
mechanism ensure that they are returned to 
their position against th  e windscreen, and that  
there are no obstructions, ice, or snow present  
on the windscreen.
CAUTION 
If the wipers are set to the service  
position and left there overnight during  
frosty conditions, do not switch the ignition on 
until the wipers   have been freed  from frost/ice.  
The wipers will try to park when the ignition is  
switched on. If they are frozen to the screen 
when this occurs then   this may cause damage  
to the mechanism.
E80582 

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.
