Wheel Changing 180 Positioning the jack Front jacking point Rear jacking point Always position the jack from the side of the vehicle, approximately in line with the appropriate jacking point. Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level ground. Position the jack so that, when raised the cradle head of the jack engages with the shaped notch on the underside of the front or rear suspension links - either just forward of the rear wheels or just to the rear of the front wheels. WARNING NEVER work beneath the vehicle with the jack as the only means of support. The jack is designed for wheel changing only! To prevent the vehicle from tipping off the jack, ensure that it is first positioned on firm, level ground. ALWAYS use the complete, two-piece, jack lever throughout to minimise any chance of accidental damage or injury. ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack location points described, or damage to the vehicle could occur. H2516 H2515
Wheel Changing 181 Changing a wheel 1.Use the wheel nut wrench to slacken the wheel nuts half a turn anti-clockwise. 2.Raise the vehicle until the tyre is clear of the ground. 3.Remove the wheel nuts and place to one side to prevent them from being lost. 4.Remove the road wheel. NOTE: DO NOT damage the surface of the wheel by placing it face down on the road. 5.On alloy wheels, use an approved anti-seize compound to treat the wheel mounting spigot. This will minimise any tendency for adhesion between the wheel and the spigot. Ensure that no compound comes into contact with the brake components or the flat mounting surfaces of the wheel. If, due to an emergency situation, this treatment is not practicable; refit the spare wheel for the time being, but remove and treat the wheel at the earliest opportunity. 6.Fit the spare wheel and lightly tighten the wheel nuts, ensuring they are firmly seated. DO NOT fully tighten whilst the tyre is clear of the ground. WARNING When fitting a wheel, ensure that the mating faces of the hub and wheel are clean and free from rust or anti-sieze compound - any accumulation of dirt or rust could cause the wheel nuts to become loose and result in an accident. 7.Ensure that the space under and around the vehicle is free from obstructions then lower the vehicle and remove the jack and wheel chocks.8.Fully tighten the wheel nuts in an alternating pattern until all are tightened. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN by using foot pressure or extension bars on the wheel nut wrench, as this could overstress the wheel studs. Check the wheel nut torque at the earliest opportunity (see ‘WHEELS & TYRES’, page 211). 9.Return tools, chocks, jack and spare wheel in their correct storage positions. 10.REMEMBER to change to ‘H’ (high range) before driving. 11.Finally, check the tyre pressure at the earliest opportunity (see ‘WHEELS & TYRES’, page 211).
Emergency Starting 182 Eme rg enc y S ta rtingSTARTING AN ENGINE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY Using booster cables (jump leads) from a donor battery, or a battery fitted to a donor vehicle, is the only approved method of starting a Discovery with a discharged battery. Vehicles with automatic transmission cannot be restarted by push or towing. WARNING During normal use, batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas sufficient to cause severe explosions capable of causing serious injury - keep sparks and naked lights away from the engine compartment. DO NOT attempt to start the vehicle if the electrolyte in the battery is suspected of being frozen. Make sure BOTH batteries are of the same voltage (12 volts), and that the booster cables have insulated clamps and are approved for use with 12 volt batteries. DO NOT disconnect the discharged battery. DO NOT connect positive (+) terminals to negative (-) terminals, and ensure booster cables are kept away from any moving parts in the engine compartment. Take care when working near rotating parts of the engine. USING BOOSTER CABLES If a donor vehicle is to be used, both vehicles should be parked with their battery locations adjacent to each other. Ensure that the two vehicles do not touch. Apply the handbrakes and ensure that the transmission of both vehicles is set in neutral (‘P’ or Park for vehicles with automatic transmission). Turn off the starter switch and ALL electrical equipment of BOTH vehicles, then follow the connection instructions on the following page.
Emergency Starting 183 CONNECTING THE BOOSTER CABLES Always adopt the following procedure: Connect the RED booster cable between the positive (+) terminal of the donor battery and the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery. Connect the BLACK booster cable from the negative (-) terminal of the donor battery to a good earth point (eg. an engine mounting or other unpainted surface) away from the battery and away from fuel and brake lines on the disabled vehicle (lug on alternator casting shown in illustration). WARNING For safety reasons: •DO NOT connect the BLACK cable to the negative terminal of the discharged battery - if in doubt, seek qualified assistance. •ENSURE that each connection is securely made and that there is no risk of the clips accidentally slipping or being pulled from the battery terminals - this could cause sparking, which could lead to fire or explosion. Check that the cables are clear of any moving parts of both engines, then start the engine of the donor vehicle and allow it to idle for a few minutes. Now start the vehicle with the discharged battery. Once both engines are running normally, allow them to idle for two minutes before switching off the engine of the donor vehicle. DO NOT switch on any electrical circuits on the previously disabled vehicle until AFTER the booster cables have been removed. Disconnecting the booster cables must be an EXACT reversal of the procedure used to connect them, ie: disconnect the BLACK cable from the earth point on the disabled vehicle FIRST. H2569 + + +
Vehicle Recovery 184 Ve hicle R eco ve ryTOWING EYES WARNING The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle are designed for on-road vehicle recovery purposes only and must NOT be used to tow a trailer or caravan.Front A single towing eye, set behind a removable panel in the front spoiler is provided at the front of the vehicle for on-road recovery. DO NOT use the front lashing rings for towing purposes. Before driving off-road, remove the panel from the spoiler as a precaution against accidental loss. Rear A pair of towing eyes are provided at the rear of the vehicle. These can be used as lashing rings and for towing your vehicle. Long distance towing Your vehicle can be towed behind a motor home or other recreational vehicle. Follow the procedure for towing given in ‘TOWING FOR RECOVERY’, page 185. H2487
Vehicle Recovery 185 TOWING FOR RECOVERY Most vehicle recovery specialists will load Discovery onto a trailer. However, if it is necessary to recover the vehicle by towing with all four wheels on the ground, observe the following procedure: 1.Apply the parking brake. 2.Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’. 3. With the foot brake applied, set the main gearbox in ‘N’ (Neutral) and then put the transfer box in neutral. 4.If it will be necessary to operate the brake lights and direction indicators the starter switch should be left in position ‘II’. 5.Secure the towing attachment to the front towing eye of the distressed vehicle. 6.Release the parking brake. NOTE: If, due to an accident or electrical fault, it is not considered safe to turn the starter switch, the battery should first be disconnected. WARNING DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle unless the starter switch is turned to position ‘I’. DO NOT remove the key or turn the starter switch to position ‘0’ while the vehicle is in motion; the starter switch must be at position ‘I’ to unlock the steering. Without the engine running, the brake servo and power steering pump cannot provide assistance; greater effort will therefore be required to operate the brake pedal and turn the steering wheel. Longer stopping distances will also be experienced. TRANSPORTER OR TRAILER LASHING Pairs of lashing rings are fixed to the underside of the vehicle - at the front (to the rear of the front wheels) and at the rear (backward of the rear wheels). DO NOT secure lashing hooks or trailer fixings to any other part of the vehicle. NOTE: The front rings are for lashing only and must NOT be used for towing. The rear lashing rings are designed for both towing and lashing. H2486
Fuses 186 FusesFUSES Fuses are simple circuit devices which protect electrical equipment against the effects of excess current. A ‘blown’ fuse is indicated when the electrical equipment it protects becomes inoperative. Fuses are colour coded to help identify their amperage rating, as follows: Fuse colours MAIN FUSE BOX The main fuse box is fitted below and to one side of the steering column; to access the fuses, remove the cover by releasing the fixing screws using a coin or small screwdriver to twist the turnbuckle screw through 90 degrees. Checking or renewing a fuse Always turn the starter switch to position ‘O’ and switch off the affected electrical circuit before removing a fuse. WARNING To prevent a possible fire or damage to the electrical system, fit only replacement fuses of the same rating and type. Do not replace a blown fuse with a fuse of a higher amperage rating. Always rectify the cause of the failure before replacing a fuse. Seek qualified assistance if necessary.0 VIOLET 3 amp TA N 5 a m p BROWN 7.5 amp RED 10 amp BLUE 15 amp YELLOW 20 amp WHITE 25 amp GREEN 30 amp ORANGE 40 amp H2619
Fuses 187 Press the fuse removal tweezers onto the head of the suspect fuse (as shown) and pull to remove. A break in the wire inside the fuse indicates that the fuse has blown and must be replaced. Always replace a fuse with another of the same value, however, if the replacement fuse blows immediately the circuit MUST be checked by a qualified dealer. NOTE: There are a number of spare fuses included within the fuse box (see fuse box label). A label in the fuse box cover shows the circuits protected, the fuse values and their locations. They are also listed on the following page. H2495
