Airbag SRS 60 Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with the seat belt restraint system, limit the movement of a front seat occupant, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper torso. When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released. This is not an indication of a malfunction, however, the powder may cause irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and any cuts or abrasions of the skin. After inflation the airbags deflate immediately. This provides a gradual cushioning effect for the occupant and also ensures that the drivers forward vision is not impaired. NOTE: After inflation, some airbag components are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled. Airbag SRS warning light Whenever the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’, the diagnostic control unit monitors the readiness of the systems electrical circuits. The elements of the system being monitored include: •SRS warning light •Rotary coupler •Airbag modules •Airbag diagnostic control unit •Airbag wiring harnessWARNING A warning light mounted on the instrument panel will alert you to any malfunction of the SRS/airbag. The system should always be checked by a retailer if any of the following symptoms occur. These indicate a fault, which may result in the SRS/airbag not operating as required in the event of a frontal impact. •The warning light fails to illuminate when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. •The warning light fails to extinguish within approximately four seconds after the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. •The warning light illuminates after the engine is started, or while the vehicle is being driven.

Airbag SRS 61 CHILD SEATS Children aged 12 years and under are more likely than adult occupants to receive injuries from inflating airbags. For this reason, it is recommended that children should always be seated in the second row of seats in a child safety seat or restraint system appropriate to their age and size, (see ‘CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND BABIES’, page 52, and ‘CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR LARGER CHILDREN’, page 52). If it is necessary for a child to travel in the front, set the seat fully rearwards and use a front facing child seat ONLY. WARNING DO NOT USE A REAR FACING CHILD SEAT IN ANY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT LOCATION. If the passenger airbag inflates, a child in a rear facing child restraint could sustain serious injury or death. Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Be sure to install child restraints according to the manufacturers instructions. Under no circumstances should a rear facing child seat be installed facing forward in any seating position. SERVICE INFORMATION WARNING DO NOT attempt to service, repair, replace, modify or tamper with any part of the airbag SRS, or wiring in the vicinity of an airbag SRS component; this could cause the system to activate, resulting in personal injury. Some aibag/SRS components must be replaced by a Land Rover retailer after 15 years from the date of manufacture (shown on the certification plate on the rear face of the left hand front door). See your Passport to Service for details. In addition, ALWAYS contact your retailer if: •an airbag inflates. •the front of the vehicle is damaged, even if the airbag has not inflated. •any part of an airbag module cover (the steering wheel center pad or facia panel) shows signs of cracking or damage.
Airbag SRS 62 Disposing of vehicles If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the new owner that the vehicle has an SRS/airbag system, and make the new owner aware of the airbag module replacement date shown in the Passport to Service. If the vehicle is to be scrapped; uninflated airbags are potentially very dangerous and must be safely deployed in a controlled environment before a vehicle is scrapped. See your Land Rover retailer for advice on safe deployment of SRS/airbags. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The components that make up the airbag SRS are sensitive to electrical or physical interference, either of which could easily damage the system and cause inadvertent operation or a malfunction of the airbag. For your safety it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a Land Rover retailer to carry out any of the following: •Removal or repair of any wiring or component in the vicinity of any of the SRS components (yellow wiring harness), including the steering wheel, steering column, instrument and facia panels. •Installation of electronic equipment such as a mobile phone, two-way radio or in-car entertainment system. •Modification to the front of the vehicle, including the bumper and chassis. •Attachment of accessories to the front of the vehicle such as a winch or brushbar.
Steering Column 63 Steering ColumnSTEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT WARNING DO NOT attempt to adjust the steering column while the vehicle is in motion. This is extremely dangerous and may result in the loss of control of the vehicle and personal injury! Do not drive the vehicle unless the locking lever is in the locked position. The angle of the steering column can be adjusted to suit your driving position: 1.With the vehicle stationary, push the locking lever up and hold in this position. 2.Move the steering wheel (up or down) into the desired position, making sure the instrument panel is clearly visible. 3.When adjustment is complete, release the locking lever to lock the steering column in position.

Door Mirrors 64 Do or Mirro rsEXTERIOR MIRRORS NOTE: The right-hand mirror glass is convex, providing a wider field of vision. As a result, objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear. •Turn the control to the ‘L’ or ‘R’ position to select either the left or right hand mirror. •With the starter switch turned to position ‘II’, push the control in the appropriate direction to tilt the mirror glass up/down/left or right. •When adjustment is complete, return the control to the OFF position (midway between ‘L’ and ‘R’). NOTE: The door mirrors have integral heating elements which disperse ice or mist from the glass. The heating elements operate in conjunction with the heated rear window.Folding the mirror body The door mirrors are designed to fold forwards or rearwards on impact. They can also be folded back towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the vehicle to negotiate narrower openings. On some vehicles this operation can be carried out manually by physically pushing the mirror bodies back towards the side windows, and then pulling them away again. H4725
Instruments 65 InstrumentsINSTRUMENT PANEL 1. Temperature gauge Once the engine coolant has reached its normal operating temperature, the pointer will rise to a position within the WHITE segment of the gauge (the precise position will vary according to climatic conditions). If the pointer moves towards the RED segment, this indicates that the engine coolant is becoming too hot. Should the pointer move INTO the RED segment and the RED warning light within the gauge illuminates, severe engine damage could occur (under these circumstances, the air conditioning may switch off and engine performance may reduce in order to minimize engine load). Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and allow the engine to idle for five minutes in order to cool down - DO NOT SWITCH OFF. Seek qualified assistance before continuing.2. Tachometer Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (x 1000). In normal driving conditions the engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 and 3000 rev/min. The vehicle is equipped with a system which automatically restricts the number of engine revolutions per minute once the engines maximum ‘governed’ speed has been reached. 3. Speedometer Indicates road speed in miles and kilometres per hour. 4. Fuel gauge The pointer drops to zero when the starter switch is turned off, but quickly rises to show the level of fuel in the tank when the switch is turned to position ‘II’. After refuelling, the gauge rapidly rises to reflect the increase of fuel in the tank. When the fuel remaining in the tank is approximately 3.75 gallons (14 liters), the AMBER low fuel warning light in the fuel gauge illuminates. If the light illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity. H4397 23 16547
Instruments 66 The small arrow visible below the fuel pump symbol on the gauge indicates the side of the vehicle on which the fuel filler is located - a useful reminder to help you position the vehicle on the correct side before refuelling. CAUTION: NEVER allow the vehicle to run out of fuel (the resultant misfire may destroy the catalytic converter). 5. Trip recorder reset button Press briefly to return the trip recorder display to zero. 6. Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder With the starter switch turned to position ‘II’, the display indicates the total distance travelled by the vehicle, and also shows the most recent individual journey distance. In some markets, the display can be set to show either miles or kilometres. To convert from one to another, press and hold the trip recorder reset button for more than two seconds. NOTE: The display also indicates which transmission selector position is selected. 7. Anti-theft alarm indicator light This light provides information about the status of the alarm system, (see ‘Anti-theft alarm indicator light’, page 34).PANEL ILLUMINATION Rotate the control to increase or reduce the intensity of the instrument panel illumination.

Warning Lights 67 Wa rn in g Ligh tsWARNING LIGHTS Service engine soon - AMBER The engine management system on your Land Rover is controlled by a sophisticated engine control module which maintains optimum control of engine running and emission levels and monitors the operation of the sub systems and components. The ‘Service engine soon’ indicator illuminates as a system check when the starter switch is turned to position II and should extinguish when the engine is started. If an engine operation or emissions problem is registered by the engine control module when the vehicle is being operated, the ‘Service engine soon’ indicator will illuminate.NOTE: An incorrectly fitted fuel filler cap may cause the ‘Service engine soon’ indicator to illuminate. If ‘Service engine soon’ illuminates, and the vehicle drives normally: •Contact your Land Rover retailer to schedule a service appointment at your earliest convenience - YOU MAY STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE. If ‘Service engine soon’ flashes and/or the vehicle does not drive normally: •Avoid high speeds and seek immediate assistance from your Land Rover retailer. Airbag SRS - RED The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after about 4 seconds. If the light illuminates at any other time, the system is faulty - seek qualified assistance urgently. H4400 IMPORTANT INFORMATION RED warning lights are of particular importance, their illumination indicates that a fault exists. If a RED warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle and review the specific instructions given in this section.
Warning Lights 68 Parking brake, brake fluid - RED The light illuminates for about 3 seconds as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned on. It also illuminates when the parking brake is applied with the starter switch in position ‘II’. The light should extinguish when the parking brake is fully released or shortly after the electrical circuits are switched on. If the light illuminates whilst driving, a fault with the braking system is indicated. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing. WARNING Do not drive the vehicle while the brake warning light is illuminated. Low oil pressure - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes when the engine is started. If the light remains on, flashes on and off, or illuminates whilst driving, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. Seek qualified assistance before driving. Always check the oil level when this light illuminates. CAUTION: Do not drive the vehicle while the low oil pressure light is illuminated.Transmission oil temperature - RED * Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after 3 seconds approx. If the light illuminates while driving, the gearbox oil temperature is too high (most likely to occur in very hot weather during continuous high speed driving, or whilst towing heavy loads on steep inclines or if the parking brake has been applied while driving). If the light illuminates, reduce speed. If the light remains on, stop the vehicle and allow the gearbox to cool. Do not drive until the light has extinguished. (Depending on the ambient temperature and the carrying loads imposed on the vehicle, it may take several minutes before the light extinguishes and it is safe to drive). Anti-lock braking system - AMBER The light illuminates as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If the light illuminates whilst driving or remains illuminated after the starter switch is turned on, a fault has occurred. This means that full ABS control may not be available and you should seek qualified assistance urgently. NOTE: Faults which cause the ABS light to illuminate after the initial system checks, or whilst driving, will be accompanied by a warning chime sounding 3 times. Three warning chimes may also be heard during engine start-up as part of the ABS system self-checks. This is normal unless the ABS warning light stays illuminated after the engine is running. WARNING Drive with extreme caution if the warning light is illuminated - ABS may not be working! BRAKE
Warning Lights 69 Headlight high beam - BLUE Illuminates when the headlights are switched to main beam. Direction indicators - GREEN The left or right warning light flashes in time with the corresponding left or right direction indicator lights whenever they are operated. If the warning light fails to flash, or flashes very rapidly, this may indicate a bulb failure in one of the direction indicator lights. If the hazard switch is pressed, both warning lights will flash in conjunction with the direction indicator lights. Trailer direction indicators - GREEN The light illuminates briefly as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If a trailer is attached, the light illuminates in conjunction with the vehicle direction indicator lights to show that all trailer indicator lights are functioning correctly. In the event of a bulb failure on the trailer, the warning light remains off. Seat belt - RED The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after approximately 6 seconds, even if the drivers seat belt remains unfastened. Always fasten your seat belt before driving. Battery charging - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes once the engine is running. If it remains on, or illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated.
