1. Temperature gauge
Once the engine coolant has reached its normal 
operating temperature, the pointer will rise to a 
position within the WHITE segment of the 
gauge (the precise position will vary according 
to climatic conditions).
If the pointer moves towards the RED segment, 
this indicates that the engine coolant is 
becoming too hot. Should the pointer move 
INTO the RED segment and the RED warning 
light within the gauge illuminates, severe

symbol on the gauge indicates the side of the 
vehicle on which the fuel filler is located - a

Warning  LightsWARNING LIGHTS
Service engine soon - AMBER
The engine management system 
on your Land Rover is controlled 
by a sophisticated engine control 
module which maintains optimum 
control of engine running and emission levels 
and monitors the operation of the sub systems 
and components.
The ‘Service engine soon’ indicator illuminates 
as a system check when the starter switch is 
turned to position II and should extinguish 
when the engine is started.
If an engine operation...

Warning Lights

Parking brake, brake fluid - RED
The light illuminates for about 3 
seconds as a bulb check when the    
starter switch is turned on. It also 
illuminates when the parking brake is applied 
with the starter switch in position ‘II’.
The light should extinguish when the parking 
brake is fully released or shortly after the 
electrical circuits are switched on. If the light 
illuminates whilst driving, a fault with the 
braking system is indicated. Stop the vehicle as 
soon as safety...

Warning Lights

Direction indicators - GREEN 
The left or right warning light 
flashes in time with the 
corresponding left or right 
direction indicator lights whenever they are 
operated. If the warning light fails to flash, or 
flashes very rapidly, this may indicate a bulb 
failure in one of the direction indicator lights. 
If the hazard switch is pressed, both warning 
lights will flash in conjunction with the direction 
indicator lights.

Hill descent control (HDC) ‘failure’ - AMBER
Illuminates briefly as a bulb and 
system check when the starter 
switch is turned to position ‘II’.
If the light illuminates at any other time, either 
a fault has occurred which affects the 
functionality of the system, or over-use of the 
system has been detected, in which case HDC 
may ‘fade out’ (see ‘HILL DESCENT CONTROL’, 
page 131).
NOTE: Faults which cause the HDC ‘failure’ light 
to illuminate after the initial system checks, or...

Differential lock warning light - AMBER*
Illuminates when the differential 
lock is selected and remains 
illuminated while the differential 
lock is engaged.
It will only extinguish when the differential lock 
actually disengages.
There will be a slight delay between differential 
lock disengagement and the warning light being 
extinguished, and is quite normal.
NOTE: If the warning light remains illuminated 
for a significant period of time after the 
differential lock has disengaged,...
