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 201.

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, or to similarly 
tow the vehicle for recreational purposes, 
observe the following procedure:
1.Apply the parking brake.
2.Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’, so 
that the brake lights and direction 
indicators can be operated.
3. With the foot brake applied, set the main 
gearbox in ‘N’ (neutral) and then put the 
transfer box into neutral.
4.Set the main gearbox in ‘P’ (park).
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 vehicle cannot be towed with wheels on the 
ground.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle unless the 
starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If the 
vehicle is towed with the starter switch in 
position ‘I’, an inconsistency in the recorded 
vehicle mileage will occur. This must then be 
rectified by a Land Rover dealer.
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 
‘II’.
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.CAUTION: Leaving the starter switch in position 
‘II’ for extended periods will put a draw on the 
battery, which can lead to voltage drop and 
ultimately to a discharged battery.
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.

							Fuses

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. 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.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX
WARNING
Batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas; 
ensure that sparks, flames and other ignition 
sources are kept away from the engine 
compartment.
A second fuse box is located on the right side of 
the engine compartment adjacent to the coolant 
reservoir.
Press all four latches in the direction of the 
arrows shown on the illustration to release the 
fuse box cover.
Information on the underside of the cover 
identifies the fuses and their ratings. This 
information is also listed on the following page.
When replacing the cover, locate the four 
latches, then push firmly downwards until the 
latches can be heard to ‘snap’ closed.Owners are advised against removing or 
replacing the relays (identified as R1-R14) 
and fusible links (FL1-FL13). Failure of any of 
these items should be investigated by a 
qualified technician.
WARNING
To prevent a possible fire or damage to the 
electrical system, only fit fuses of the same 
rating or 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.

Check the operation of all exterior lights before 
you drive the vehicle.
Replacement bulbs
NOTE: All bulbs must be rated at 12 voltsHalogen bulbs
Halogen bulbs are used for dipped/high, 
supplementary high beam and front fog lights. 
Take care NOT to touch this type of bulb with 
your fingers; always use a cloth to handle them. 
If necessary, clean the bulb with isopropyl 
rubbing alcohol to remove fingerprints.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before replacing a bulb, always switch off 
the starter switch and appropriate lighting 
switch to prevent any possibility of a short 
circuit. Only replace bulbs with the same 
type and specification.
