    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

    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.

    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.

    							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.

    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

    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.
