Interior Equ ip mentFRONT INTERIOR & LOADSPACE LIGHTS
Switch positions:
•‘OFF’ - Light permanently off.
•‘ON’ - Light illuminates continuously.
With the switch in the centre position, the 
interior light illuminates automatically 
whenever the vehicle is unlocked, when the 
starter switch is turned off (to position ‘0’), or 
when a door or taildoor is opened. The light 
remains illuminated for 15 seconds after the 
doors and taildoor are closed, or until the 
starter switch is turned on.
After driving, the interior lights will fade and 
then extinguish as soon as the vehicle is locked 
or when the last door is closed.
NOTE: When the light is switched for automatic 
operation (switch in centre position), a 
‘time-out’ function extinguishes the lights after 
8 minutes approx. if a door is left open, to 
prevent the battery from discharging.
REAR INTERIOR LIGHTS 
Press the switch to illuminate (or extinguish) 
the lights manually.
Lights illuminate automatically when the 
vehicle is unlocked or whenever a door or 
taildoor is opened, and extinguish 
approximately 15 seconds after ALL the doors 
are closed, or as soon as the starter switch is 
turned on.
GLOVEBOX LIGHT

AUXILIARY POWER SOCKET
An auxiliary power socket is mounted 
immediately behind the rear seat on the left 
hand side of the loadspace. This can be used to 
power Land Rover approved accessories that 
use a maximum of 180 watts.
Always run the engine during prolonged use of 
electrical accessories, otherwise the battery 
may become discharged.
CAUTION: NEVER plug non-approved 
accessories into the power socket - damage to 
the vehicles electrical systems could occur.
CUP HOLDERS
WARNING
The driver should not drink and should not use 
the cup holder while driving.
If the cup holder is retractable, it should be 
kept closed when not in use.
DO NOT place anything other than suitable 
drinks containers in the cup holders, because 
such items may be thrown about in the 
passenger compartment and possibly injure 
occupants in the event of an accident or 
emergency manoeuvre.
DO NOT carry open-top drink containers in the 
cup holders while the vehicle is in motion; a 
spilled hot drink could cause personal injury. 
Spilled drinks can also damage upholstery, 
carpeting and electrical components.
Use only for soft containers. DO NOT use to 
hold cups made of glass, china or hard 
plastic, as these may cause injury in the event 
of an accident or emergency manoeuvre. 
Unopened sealed containers (drinks cans, for 
example) are hard objects and may also 
cause injury.

For comfort and convenience, the handle 
aperture on the cup holders can be relocated to 
suit the user; twist the top of the cup holder 
anticlockwise to release, then reposition so that

page 37). The cup holder and trinket tray are 
located on the outboard side of the seat. 
CAUTION: Remove any drink containers or 
personal belongings from the cup holders and 
trinket trays, BEFORE returning the occasional 
rear seats to their stowed position - damage to 
the seats could occur.
NOTE: If rear air conditioning is fitted to the 
vehicle, only the right-hand seat is equipped 
with a cup holder and trinket tray.

Interior Mirror & CompassINTERIOR REAR-VIEW MIRROR
The automatic rear view mirror is equipped with 
an automatic dimming function which operates 
whenever the starter switch is turned to 
position ‘II’. When powered, the mirror will 
automatically reduce glare from the headlights 
of following vehicles in dark or low light 
conditions. 
For information about the compass display, see 
the following pages.
COMPASS FUNCTION
WARNING
The compass is a direction aid only. While 
drivers may wish to observe the compass 
display while driving, it must not be allowed 
to distract from proper observation of traffic, 
road conditions and other hazards, either on 
the public highway or while driving off-road, 
in order to avoid an accident or personal 
injury. 
Whenever the starter switch is turned to 
position II, the vehicles direction of travel - ‘N’, 
‘NE’, ‘E’, ‘SE’, ‘S’, ‘SW’, ‘W’ or ‘NW’ - will be 
displayed in the mirror display. The display will 
change whenever the vehicle direction changes 
by more than 22.5 degrees from the midpoint of 
each compass segment (a short time delay is 
incorporated to prevent nuisance changes 
occurring).
To ensure accuracy, the compass must be 
calibrated and also set to the compass set zone 
in which the vehicle is to be used (see the 
appropriate map page that follows). Both 
operations will have been carried out before the 
vehicle was delivered. Re-calibration will not 
normally be necessary unless the vehicle 
battery has been disconnected for a period of 
time.

Calibrating the compass
Turn the starter switch to position II. The mirror 
display should show the letter ‘C’.
If C is not displayed, use a ballpoint pen or 
similar probe to press the button on the 
underside of the mirror for six seconds until ‘C’ 
is displayed. The button can then be released 
and the compass calibrated as follows:
Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in 
circles at 5 mph (7 km/h) or less (two circles 
should be sufficient) until the mirror display 
shows a direction (‘N’, ‘NE’, ‘E’, ‘SE’, ‘S’, ‘SW’, 
‘W’ or ‘NW’). 
Alternatively, the compass will eventually 
calibrate itself during normal vehicle use, but 
depending upon the type of driving that is 
undertaken, this may take considerably longer.Setting the compass
Variations in the earths magnetic field cause 
changes to occur in the compass reading as the 
vehicle is driven from one set zone to another. 
However, it should be noted that magnetic 
variation between adjacent zones is only 4 
degrees, and for most motoring situations, 
resetting the compass should only be 
necessary if the vehicle has crossed more than 
one zone, or calibration was carried out in any 
zone other than zone 8. 
Note that the precise points at which the set 
zones change cannot be accurately plotted and 
that drivers situated in an area where zones 
merge should not need to reset the compass 
every time the vehicle crosses from one to 
another.
To set the compass:
1.Identify the appropriate zone for your 
location (see the map that follows). 
2.Turn the starter switch to position II.
3.Using a ballpoint pen or similar probe, 
press and hold the button on the 
underside of the mirror until a zone 
number appears in the display. This will 
take approximately 3 seconds (note that 
the compass automatically defaults to 
zone 8). 
4.Release the button, then continue 
pressing and releasing the button 
alternately until the required zone number 
appears in the display. 
5.Once the set zone has been selected, the 
display reappears (after 10 seconds 
approx.), and the compass is correctly set 
for the required zone.
