Steering Column 60 Steering ColumnSTEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT The angle of the steering column can be adjusted to suit your driving position: 1.With the vehicle stationary, push the locking lever up and hold in this position. 2.Move the steering wheel (up or down) into the desired position, making sure the instrument panel is clearly visible. 3.When adjustment is complete, release the locking lever to lock the steering column in position. WARNING DO NOT attempt to adjust the steering column while the vehicle is in motion. This is extremely dangerous and may result in the loss of control of the vehicle and personal injury! H2533
Door Mirrors 61 D oor MirrorsEXTERIOR MIRRORS NOTE: The right-hand mirror glass is convex, providing a wider field of vision. As a result, objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear. •Turn the control to the ‘L’ or ‘R’ position to select either the left or right hand mirror. •With the starter switch turned to position ‘II’, push the control in the appropriate direction to tilt the mirror glass up/down/left or right. •When adjustment is complete, return the control to the OFF position (midway between ‘L’ and ‘R’). NOTE: The door mirrors have integral heating elements which disperse ice or mist from the glass. The heating elements operate in conjunction with the heated rear window.Folding the mirror body The door mirrors are designed to fold forwards or rearwards on impact. They can also be folded back towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the vehicle to negotiate narrower openings. On some vehicles this operation can be carried out manually by physically pushing the mirror bodies back towards the side windows, and then pulling them away again. H4725
Instruments 62 InstrumentsINSTRUMENT PANEL 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 engine damage could occur (under these circumstances, the air conditioning may switch off and engine performance may reduce in order to minimize engine load). Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and allow the engine to idle for five minutes in order to cool down - DO NOT SWITCH OFF. Seek qualified assistance before continuing.2. Tachometer Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (x 1000). In normal driving conditions the engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 and 3000 rev/min. The vehicle is equipped with a system which automatically restricts the number of engine revolutions per minute once the engines maximum ‘governed’ speed has been reached. 3. Speedometer Indicates road speed in miles and kilometres per hour. 4. Fuel gauge The pointer drops to zero when the starter switch is turned off, but quickly rises to show the level of fuel in the tank when the switch is turned to position ‘II’. After refuelling, the gauge rapidly rises to reflect the increase of fuel in the tank. When the fuel remaining in the tank is approximately 3.75 gallons (14 liters), the AMBER low fuel warning light in the fuel gauge illuminates. If the light illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity. H4397 23 16547
Instruments 63 The small arrow visible below the fuel pump symbol on the gauge indicates the side of the vehicle on which the fuel filler is located - a useful reminder to help you position the vehicle on the correct side before refuelling. CAUTION: NEVER allow the vehicle to run out of fuel (the resultant misfire may destroy the catalytic converter). 5. Trip recorder reset button Press briefly to return the trip recorder display to zero. 6. Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder With the starter switch turned to position ‘II’, the display indicates the total distance travelled by the vehicle, and also shows the most recent individual journey distance. In some markets, the display can be set to show either miles or kilometres. To convert from one to another, press and hold the trip recorder reset button for more than two seconds. NOTE: The display also indicates which transmission selector position is selected. 7. Anti-theft alarm indicator light This light provides information about the status of the alarm system, (see ‘Anti-theft alarm indicator light’, page 31).PANEL ILLUMINATION Rotate the control to increase or reduce the intensity of the instrument panel illumination.

Warning Lights 64 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 or emissions problem is registered by the engine control module when the vehicle is being operated, the ‘Service engine soon’ indicator will illuminate.NOTE: An incorrectly fitted fuel filler cap may cause the ‘Service engine soon’ indicator to illuminate. If ‘Service engine soon’ illuminates, and the vehicle drives normally: •Contact your Land Rover retailer to schedule a service appointment at your earliest convenience - YOU MAY STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE. If ‘Service engine soon’ flashes and/or the vehicle does not drive normally: •Avoid high speeds and seek immediate assistance from your Land Rover retailer. Airbag SRS - RED The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after about 4 seconds. If the light illuminates at any other time, the system is faulty - seek qualified assistance urgently. H4400 IMPORTANT INFORMATION RED warning lights are of particular importance, their illumination indicates that a fault exists. If a RED warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle and review the specific instructions given in this section.
Warning Lights 65 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 permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing. WARNING Do not drive the vehicle while the brake warning light is illuminated. Low oil pressure - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes when the engine is started. If the light remains on, flashes on and off, or illuminates whilst driving, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. Seek qualified assistance before driving. Always check the oil level when this light illuminates. CAUTION: Do not drive the vehicle while the low oil pressure light is illuminated.Transmission oil temperature - RED * Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after 3 seconds approx. If the light illuminates while driving, the gearbox oil temperature is too high (most likely to occur in very hot weather during continuous high speed driving, or whilst towing heavy loads on steep inclines or if the parking brake has been applied while driving). If the light illuminates, reduce speed. If the light remains on, stop the vehicle and allow the gearbox to cool. Do not drive until the light has extinguished. (Depending on the ambient temperature and the carrying loads imposed on the vehicle, it may take several minutes before the light extinguishes and it is safe to drive). Anti-lock braking system - AMBER The light illuminates as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If the light illuminates whilst driving or remains illuminated after the starter switch is turned on, a fault has occurred. This means that full ABS control may not be available and you should seek qualified assistance urgently. NOTE: Faults which cause the ABS light to illuminate after the initial system checks, or whilst driving, will be accompanied by a warning chime sounding 3 times. WARNING Drive with extreme caution if the warning light is illuminated - ABS may not be working! Headlight high beam - BLUE Illuminates when the headlights are switched to main beam. BRAKE
Warning Lights 66 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. Trailer direction indicators - GREEN The light illuminates briefly as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If a trailer is attached, the light illuminates in conjunction with the vehicle direction indicator lights to show that all trailer indicator lights are functioning correctly. In the event of a bulb failure on the trailer, the warning light remains off. Seat belt - RED The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after approximately 6 seconds, even if the drivers seat belt remains unfastened. Always fasten your seat belt before driving. Battery charging - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes once the engine is running. If it remains on, or illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated. Seek qualified assistance urgently.Off Road - AMBER* Illuminates briefly as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and then extinguishes. If the off-road switch is pressed: The light flashes continually while the rear of the vehicle is either; rising to off-road height, or returning to standard ride height. The light illuminates constantly while the suspension remains at off-road height. In addition, the light will flash if extended mode is induced. Hill descent control (HDC) ‘information’ - GREEN Illuminates briefly as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position II and also when HDC is selected. If HDC is selected when Low Range gears are engaged the light will illuminate continuously indicating that HDC is active. When HDC is selected and non-operating gears are engaged (i.e. High range), the light will flash to inform the driver that HDC is selected, but will not operate. If the light starts to flash while HDC is active, normal functionality may cease and HDC ‘fade out’ may be induced (see ‘HILL DESCENT CONTROL’, page 131).
Warning Lights 67 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 whilst driving, will be accompanied by a warning chime sounding 3 times. Traction Control - AMBER Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after approximately 3 seconds. The light illuminates for a minimum of 2 seconds, whenever traction control is operating. If the light illuminates continuously, and remains illuminated when the vehicle is stationary, a fault with the system is indicated; seek qualified assistance. NOTE: Faults which cause the light to illuminate after the initial system checks, or whilst driving, will be accompanied by a warning chime sounding 3 times.Self-levelling suspension - AMBER* Illuminates briefly as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and then extinguishes. If the remote handset is operated: The light flashes continually while the rear of the vehicle is being lowered, or raised. If the light illuminates constantly: A fault with the suspension is indicated. Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible. While it is possible to continue driving the vehicle in this condition, this is not recommended as there is a considerable risk of causing further damage to the suspension. Preferably, the vehicle should be brought to a halt as soon as conditions allow. Further travel should be limited to reaching the nearest Land Rover retailer, or driving to a place of safety while awaiting recovery. In any event, speed must be restricted to a rate that will guarantee a smooth, and totally bump-free, ride at all times, ideally traversing only smooth roads.
Warning Lights 68 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, some transmission ‘wind-up’ may be present. Reversing the vehicle for a short distance and then moving forward will usually ‘unwind’ the transmission and the warning light will extinguish, The vehicle can then be driven as normal. However, if after two or three attempts to ‘unwind’ the transmission, the light remains on, consult your retailer AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. For additional information see ‘THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK*’, page 122. Transfer gearbox in neutral - RED Illuminates when the transfer gearbox is in neutral. It will only extinguish when the transfer gearbox is engaged (either ‘High’ or ‘Low’ range) or when the vehicle is being towed and the ignition is in key position 2 with the transfer gearbox in neutral. Active cornering enhancement (ACE) - RED/AMBER * The light illuminates RED when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. After two seconds, the RED illumination changes to AMBER, and after a further two seconds, the light extinguishes.If illumination occurs while driving, a fault with the system is indicated, as follows: •If the light shows RED (a flashing red light which changes to constant illumination after two minutes, and is accompanied by a warning chime): This indicates a system fault that may result in serious damage to vehicle components and reduced ACE performance. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and switch off the engine. DO NOT CONTINUE DRIVING! Seek qualified assistance immediately. •If the light shows AMBER (constant illumination): This indicates a system fault that will result in reduced ACE performance but will not leave the vehicle in a dangerous condition. You may continue driving, but reduce speed, take additional care, and consult a Land Rover retailer at the earliest opportunity. Manual mode - GREEN Illuminates for 3 seconds as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. Illuminates constantly while Manual mode is selected. NOTE: If both the Manual and Sport mode lights (shown below) flash together, this indicates an electrical fault with the automatic gearbox. If the lights continue flashing after the vehicle has been brought to a halt and the starter switch has been turned off and then on again, you should seek qualified assistance urgently. Sport mode - GREEN Illuminates for 3 seconds as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. Illuminates constantly while Sport mode is selected.
