requires the dismantling of or addition to 
either the electrical, fuel or SRS airbag 
systems as damage to the proper operation of 
these systems could result.
ALWAYS consult a Land Rover dealer before 
fitting any electrical accessory.
Fitting inferior quality parts or accessories may 
be dangerous and could invalidate the vehicle 
warranty.
It is recommended that you always consult a 
Land Rover dealer for advice regarding the 
approval, suitability, installation and use of any 
parts or accessories before fitting.
Travelling abroad
In certain countries, it is illegal to fit parts which 
have not been made to the vehicle 
manufacturers specification.
Owners should ensure that any parts or 
accessories fitted to the vehicle while travelling 
abroad will also conform to the legal 
requirements of their own country when they 
return home.SRS/Airbag
WARNING
The components that make up the SRS/airbag 
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

Emergency Information
Wh eel C han gingTOOL KIT
Jack
The jack is stowed in the front of the engine 
compartment next to the battery. To access the 
jack, remove the battery cover. 
WARNING
Due to its stowage position in the engine 
compartment the jack may be hot if the engine 
has been running - be careful to avoid burns. Tools
The jack handle and other tools are stowed in a 
tool bag in the taildoor storage pocket.
Care of the jack
Examine the jack occasionally, clean and grease 
the moving parts, particularly the ram.
To avoid contamination, the jack should always 
be returned to its fully closed position.
WARNING
After wheel changing, always secure tools, 
chocks, jack and spare wheel in their correct 
storage positions. Such objects if not properly 
stowed can become flying missiles in a crash 
or rollover, potentially causing injury or 
death.

SPARE WHEEL
Use the wheel nut wrench to remove the nuts 
securing the spare wheel to the carrier and then 
lift off the wheel.
NOTE: DO NOT use the spare wheel securing 
nuts in place of the road wheel nuts, or use the 
road wheel nuts to secure the spare wheel - the 
nuts are not inter-changeable.
WARNING
The wheels are extremely heavy. Take care 
when lifting and particularly when removing 
the spare wheel from its mounting position on 
the tail door.
CHANGING THE WHEEL
If possible, choose a safe place to stop away 
from the main thoroughfare. Always ask your 
passengers to get out of the vehicle and wait in 
a safe area away from other traffic.
NOTE: Switch on the hazard warning lights to 
alert other road users. 
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front 
wheels are in the straight ahead position, apply 
the parking brake and engage Park ‘P’ in the 
main gearbox and select ‘L’ in the transfer box. 
Turn off the starter switch and remove the key. 
Observe the following precautions: 
•Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level 
ground; NEVER on soft ground, or over 
metal gratings or manhole covers. DO NOT 
place additional material between the jack 
and the ground, this may jeopardise the 
safety of the jacking operation.
•Place chocks at the front and rear of the 
wheel diagonally opposite the one to be 
removed.
•NEVER raise the vehicle with passengers 
inside, or with a caravan or trailer 
connected!
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, it is ESSENTIAL to 
chock the road wheels in two places; the 
handbrake acts on the transmission, not on 
the rear wheels, and therefore may not hold 
the vehicle when raised.

Using the wheel chocks
If possible, position the vehicle on level ground, 
chocking both sides of the wheel diagonally 
opposite the one to be removed. 
If jacking the vehicle on a slope is unavoidable, 
place the chocks on the downhill side of the two 
opposite wheels.
The wheel chocks are stowed with the jack 
handle and wheel nut spanner in the tool bag.
Assemble the wheel chocks as follows:
1.Pull the two halves of the chock apart.
2.Twist one half of the chock 180°.
3.Push the two halves back together.Operating the jack
Slot the two parts of the jack lever together, 
ensuring that the spring clip protrudes from the 
engagement slot where the two parts join (see 
inset ‘A’). Close the jack release valve by using 
the notched end of the jack lever to turn the 
valve fully clockwise (see inset ‘B’). Insert the 
lever into the socket as shown (inset ‘C’) and 
twist the lever to lock it into the socket. 
Pump the lever up and down to raise the jack.
To lower the jack, detach the lever (twist and 
pull) and then slot the notched end over the 
pegs on the release valve. Slowly turn the 
release valve anti-clockwise allowing the weight 
of the vehicle to lower the jack.
DO NOT fully unscrew the release valve.

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-seize 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 227).
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 227).  
						

							Emergency Starting
198
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
199
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 (e.g. 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, i.e: disconnect the BLACK cable 
from the earth point on the disabled vehicle 
FIRST.
