Cooling System 170 Co olin g S ystemCOOLANT CHECK AND TOP-UP WARNING NEVER remove the filler cap when the engine is hot -escaping steam or scalding water could cause serious personal injury. Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing the pressure to escape before removing completely. Avoid spilling anti-freeze onto a hot engine - a fire may result. CAUTION: NEVER run the engine without coolant. NEVER top-up with salt water. When travelling in territories where the water supply contains salt, always ensure that you carry a supply of fresh (rain or distilled) water. NOTE: Anti-freeze will damage painted surfaces; soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water. The coolant level in the expansion tank should be checked at least weekly (more frequently in high mileage or arduous operating conditions). Always check the level WHEN THE SYSTEM IS COLD. If it is necessary to remove the filler cap before the system has fully cooled, loosen the cap slowly, allowing the air pressure to escape gradually.Top-up with a 50% mixture of anti-freeze and water so that the surface of the coolant is level with the indicator on the side of the tank (arrowed in illustration). Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is completed. If the level has fallen appreciably, suspect leakage or overheating and arrange for your dealer to examine the vehicle. DO NOT OVERFILL!

Cooling System 171 ANTI-FREEZE WARNING Anti-freeze is poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed - keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental consumption is suspected, seek medical attention immediately. Prevent anti-freeze coming in contact with the skin or eyes. If this occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Anti-freeze contains important corrosion inhibitors. The anti-freeze content of the coolant must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round (not just in cold conditions). To ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are retained, the anti-freeze content should be checked once a year and completely renewed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, whichever is the sooner. Failure to do so may cause corrosion of the radiator and engine components. The specific gravity of a 50% anti-freeze solution at 68°F (20°C) is 1.075 and protects against frost down to -33°F (-36°C). Coolant specification Use ONLY a 50% mix of water and Havoline Extended Life Coolant (XLC) or any ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT) corrosion inhibitors. In an emergency - and only if this type of anti-freeze is unavailable - top-up the cooling system with clean water, but be aware of the resultant reduction in frost protection. DO NOT top-up or refill with conventional anti-freeze formulations. If in doubt consult a Land Rover dealer.
Brakes 172 Brak esBRAKE FLUID WARNING Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental consumption of fluid is suspected, seek medical attention immediately. If brake fluid should come into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Take care not to spill fluid onto a hot engine - a fire may result. CAUTION: DO NOT drive the vehicle with the fluid level below the ‘MIN’ mark. NOTE: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces; soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water. Check The fluid level may fall slightly during normal use as a result of brake pad wear but should not be allowed to fall below the ‘MIN’ mark. Any substantial drop in fluid indicates a leak in the system, in which case the vehicle must NOT be driven and you should contact your dealer. With the vehicle on level ground, check the fluid level at least every week (more frequently in high mileage or arduous operating conditions). Check the level visually through the side of the transparent reservoir without removing the filler cap.Top-up Wipe the filler cap clean before removing to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir. Unscrew the cap (1/8 turn) and top-up the reservoir to the ‘MAX’ mark using ‘Shell Donax YB’ brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specification. If this is not available, use a universal brake fluid or any brake fluid having a minimum boiling point of 500 ºF (260 ºC) and complying with FMVSS 116 DOT4. Use only new fluid from an airtight container (old fluid from opened containers or fluid previously bled from the system will have absorbed moisture, which will adversely affect performance, and must NOT be used). DO NOT OVERFILL! Brake fluid must be completely renewed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, whichever is the sooner. In addition, note the advice contained under ‘Brake fluid/component replacement’, page 159. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Contact your dealer immediately if brake pedal travel is unusually long or if there is any appreciable drop in brake fluid level. H2577
Power Steering 173 Power SteeringPOWER STEERING FLUID WARNING Power steering fluid is highly toxic and can be fatal if swallowed - keep containers sealed and out of reach of children. If accidental consumption of fluid is suspected, seek medical attention immediately. If power steering fluid should come into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not spill power steering fluid onto a hot engine - a fire may result. NOTE: Power steering fluid will damage painted surfaces; soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water. Emergency operation Any large or sudden drop in the fluid level must be investigated by a qualified dealer. If it can be established that fluid loss is slow, then the reservoir may be topped-up to the upper level mark to enable the vehicle to be driven to the nearest qualified dealer for examination. If the fluid level has dropped below the lower level mark, top-up the reservoir before starting the engine, or damage to the steering pump could result.Check and Top-up Check and top-up the fluid level ONLY with the engine switched off and the system cold, and ensure that the steering wheel is not turned after stopping the engine. Check the fluid level against the level marks on the side of the reservoir. If more fluid is needed, first wipe the filler cap clean to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir, then twist the cap a quarter turn anti-clockwise and pull to remove. Top up the reservoir until the fluid reaches the upper level mark. DO NOT OVERFILL! H2538 MAX MIN
Active Cornering Enhancement 174 Ac tiv e Co rn erin g En han ce me ntACTIVE CORNERING ENHANCEMENT FLUID WARNING Fluid is highly toxic and can be fatal if swallowed - keep containers sealed and out of reach of children. If accidental consumption of fluid is suspected, seek medical attention immediately. If fluid should come into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not spill fluid onto a hot engine - a fire may result. NOTE: Fluid will damage painted surfaces; soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water.Check and Top-up Check the fluid level against the level marks on the side of the reservoir. If more fluid is needed, first wipe the filler cap clean to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir, then twist the cap a quarter turn anti-clockwise and pull to remove. Top up the reservoir until the fluid reaches the upper level mark. DO NOT OVERFILL! Any large or sudden drop in the fluid level must be investigated by a qualified dealer. NOTE: While the power steering and active cornering enhancement systems share the same fluid specification and reservoir, both systems are entirely independent of each other. The reservoir is divided into two compartments and each system has its own filler cap. H2576 MAX MIN
Washers 175 WashersWINDSCREEN WASHER TOP-UP The windscreen washer reservoir supplies both front and rear screen washer jets and headlight washer jets. Check the reservoir level at least every week and top-up with a mixture of water and screenwash solvent. Preferably mix the recommended quantities of water and screenwash in a separate container before topping-up, and always follow the instructions on the container. Note that an approved screenwash is necessary to prevent freezing in very cold weather. Operate the washer switches periodically to check that the nozzles are clear and properly directed. WARNING Some screenwash products are inflammable, particularly if high or undiluted concentrations are exposed to sparking. DO NOT allow screenwash to come into contact with naked flames or sources of ignition. NOTE: DO NOT use an anti-freeze or vinegar/water solution in the washer reservoir - anti-freeze will damage painted surfaces, whilst vinegar can damage the windscreen washer pump. NOTE: Body panels may suffer discolorization as a result of screenwash spillage. Take care to avoid spillage, particularly if an undiluted high concentration is being used. If spillage occurs, wash the affected area immediately with water. WASHER JETS The windscreen washer jets are set during manufacture and should not need adjusting. However, if adjustment is ever necessary, insert a needle into the jet orifice and lever gently to position each jet so that the spray is directed towards the centre of the windscreen. The rear screen jets located in the wiper arm are not adjustable. Should any jet become obstructed, insert a needle or thin strand of wire into the orifice to clear the blockage. HEADLIGHT WASHERS The spray jets are set during manufacture and should not need to be adjusted. NOTE: Ensure an approved screen washer solvent is used in the windscreen washer reservoir to prevent freezing. H2541
Wiper Blades 176 Wiper BladesWIPER BLADE REPLACEMENT Front wiper blades Lift the wiper arm away from the windscreen. Disconnect the blade by pushing the locking tab (see inset in illustration) to the unlock position and slide upward. Fitting a replacement blade is a reversal of this process. Check that the blade is securely locked before returning the wiper assembly to the windscreen. Only fit replacement wiper blades that are identical to the original specification. Grease, silicone and petrol based products impair the blades wiping capability. Wash the wiper blades in warm soapy water and periodically check their condition. If signs of hardness or cracking in the rubber are found, or if the wipers leave streaks or unwiped areas on the windscreen during use, then the wiper blades should be replaced. Clean the windscreen regularly with an approved glass cleaner and ensure the screen is thoroughly cleaned before fitting replacement wiper blades.Rear wiper blades With the spare wheel removed from the taildoor, lift the wiper arm away from the rear screen. Pivot the blade assembly away from the arm (as arrowed), levering against resistance, until the two retaining lugs detach from their slots at the end of the arm. Carefully replace the arm to its stowed position. To replace, position the wiper arm into the aperture in the middle of the blade assembly, line up the retaining lugs with the corresponding slots in the wiper arm and push firmly into position until the blade clips into place.

Battery 177 BatteryBATTERY SAFETY WARNING ALWAYS wear appropriate eye protection when working around batteries. Batteries contain acid, which is both corrosive and poisonous. If spillage occurs: •On clothing or the skin - remove any contaminated clothing immediately, flush the skin with large amounts of water, and seek medical attention urgently. •In the eyes - flush with clean water immediately for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention urgently. •Swallowing battery acid can be fatal unless IMMEDIATE action is taken - seek medical attention urgently. During normal operation batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas - to avoid fire, ensure sparks and naked lights are kept away from the engine compartment. For your safety remove all metal wrist bands and jewellery before working in the engine compartment and NEVER allow the battery terminals or vehicle leads to make contact with tools or metal parts of the vehicle. WARNING Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. BATTERY MAINTENANCE The battery is designed to be maintenance free, so topping-up is unnecessary. On the top of the battery there is a battery condition indicator (arrowed in illustration). Examine the indicator periodically to check the batterys condition. When the indicator shows: •GREEN - the battery is in a good state of charge. •DARK (turning to black) - the battery needs charging. •CLEAR (or light yellow) - the battery must be replaced. Do not charge the battery or jump start the vehicle in this condition. NOTE: When checking the battery condition indicator, if necessary, clean the battery top to ensure a clear view. If the indicator shows clear or yellow, tap the indicator with the handle of a screwdriver to disperse any air bubbles. If the colour is unchanged, the battery must be replaced. H2490
Battery 178 Battery removal and replacement WARNING ALWAYS remove the starter key before disconnecting the battery. Failure to do this could cause a failure of the airbag SRS. To prevent a short circuit, ALWAYS disconnect the negative (‘-’) cable first and NEVER allow the battery terminals or vehicle leads to make contact with tools or metal parts of the vehicle. Before disconnecting the battery, disarm the alarm, and ensure that the starter switch and all electrical equipment is turned off. To remove: disconnect the negative (‘-’) cable first and then the positive (‘+’) cable. When reconnecting, connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable. To release the battery from the vehicle, undo the nuts securing the battery clamping plate and remove the clamping plate. When replacing, ensure the battery is fitted the right way round (terminal posts towards the rear of the vehicle) and that the clamping plate is secure. Tighten the clamping plate nuts until the clamping plate is free from movement, but do not over tighten.Replacement batteries Only fit a replacement battery of the same type and specification as the original - other batteries may vary in size or have different terminal positions which could cause a fire hazard when connected to the vehicles electrical system. CAUTION: DO NOT reverse the polarity of the battery - the electrical system may be damaged if the battery leads are connected to the wrong terminals. CAUTION: Keep the battery upright at all times - damage will be caused if the battery is tilted more than 45 degrees. CAUTION: DO NOT run the engine with the battery disconnected, or disconnect the battery whilst the engine is running. Battery disposal Used batteries should be recycled. However, batteries are hazardous - you should seek advice about disposal from a Land Rover dealer or your local authority.
Battery 179 Battery charging WARNING Batteries generate explosive gases, contain corrosive acid and produce levels of electric current sufficient to cause serious injury. While charging always heed the following precautions: •Before charging, disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle - charging the battery with the cables connected may damage the vehicles electrical system. •Make sure the battery charger leads are securely clamped to the battery terminals BEFORE switching on the battery charger. Do not move the leads once the charger is switched on. •While charging, shield your eyes or avoid leaning over the battery and keep the area around the top of the battery well ventilated. •Do not allow open flame and/or incandescent lamps near the battery (batteries generate inflammable hydrogen during and after charging). •If the battery is fitted with a condition indicator, the indicator shows GREEN when the battery is charged sufficiently. When charging is finished, switch off the battery charger BEFORE disconnecting the leads from the battery terminals. After charging, leave the battery for an hour BEFORE reconnection to the vehicle - this will allow time for explosive gases to disperse, thereby minimising the risk of fire or explosion. NOTE: Be aware that a battery will take longer to charge in a cold environment.CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery if it is connected to the vehicle - this may seriously damage the electrical system. IMPORTANT INFORMATION DO NOT attempt to charge the battery if the battery condition indicator is clear or light yellow. DO NOT charge the battery if it is suspected of being frozen.
