Wipers and washers

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.
E80679

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.
