Warning Lights 60 Parking brake & brake system - RED The light illuminates when the parking brake is applied and extinguishes when it is fully released. If the light continues to illuminate after the handbrake is released, a fault with the braking system is indicated; check the brake fluid level (see ‘BRAKE FLUID’, page 160). If the light continues to illuminate after this, seek qualified assistance urgently. Door open - RED Illuminates when any of the doors (including the taildoor and hood) are not fully closed. DO NOT drive the vehicle with the light illuminated. Hazard warning lights - RED Illuminates in conjunction with the direction indicator warning lights, when the hazard warning lights are operating. Traction control - AMBER Illuminates as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after 4 seconds approx. The light illuminates for a minimum of 2 seconds, when traction control is operating. If the light illuminates continuously while traction control is NOT operating, a fault with the system is indicated; seek qualified assistance. The light also has an overheat function: if traction control is required, but the brakes are too hot, the light will flash for the period when traction control is required and traction has been lost.ABS - AMBER Illuminates for approximately 1 second as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’, and then extinguishes. If the light does not extinguish, a fault has occured with the ABS system and you should consult your Land Rover retailer at the earliest opportunity. If the light remains on or subsequently illuminates while driving, a fault has been detected by the self-monitoring system. This means that full ABS control may not be available and you should consult your retailer at the earliest opportunity. Hill descent control (HDC) ‘failure’ - AMBER The light illuminates briefly as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. The light will flash if the brakes become in danger of overheating and continue flashing until the brakes have cooled sufficiently to enable HDC to operate again (see also ‘HDC fade-out’, page 109). If the light illuminates at any other time, a fault in the system is indicated. If this occurs, deselect HDC and consult your Land Rover retailer.

If HDC is selected when either of the operating gears is engaged (1st or reverse), the light will illuminate continuously. When HDC is selected and a non-operating gear position is engaged, the light will flash to inform the driver that HDC is selected, but not operating (see also ‘HDC fade-out’, page 109). Low oil pressure - RED 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 continuously when driving, serious engine damage could occur; stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. Seek qualified assistance before driving.

If it remains on, or illuminates at any other time, the engine management system requires attention. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and switch off the engine for at least 30 seconds; if the light illuminates again after the engine is restarted, it is permissible to continue driving (with reduced engine power), but qualified assistance must be sought as soon as possible, to prevent potential engine damage. Battery charging - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes as soon as the engine is running. If it remains on, or illuminates when driving, a fault with the battery charging system is indicated. Seek qualified assistance urgently.

Wipers & Washers 65 Wipers & WashersOPERATING The wipers and washers will only operate when the starter switch is turned to position ‘I’ or ‘II’.

If this is the case, switch the wipers off, free the blades from the obstruction and then switch on again. WINDSHIELD WIPERS Intermittent wipe Turn switch to position 1. Normal speed wipe Turn switch to position 2. Fast speed wipe Turn switch to position 3. NOTE: If the front windshield wipers are operating (in either intermittent or continuous mode), the rear wiper operates automatically whenever reverse gear is selected. IMPORTANT •DO NOT operate the wipers on a dry windshield. •To prevent possible overload damage to the wiper motor, in freezing or very hot conditions ensure that the blades are not frozen or stuck to the glass before operating the wipers. •In winter, remove any snow or ice from around the arms and blades, including the wiped area of the windshield and the heater air intakes.

Wipers & Washers 66 Single wipe Pull the lever down and release immediately. NOTE: With the lever held down, the wipers will operate at high speed until the lever is released. Variable delay (intermittent wipe) Rotate the inner switch to vary the delay between wipes.WINDSHIELD WASHERS Pull the lever toward the steering wheel. The windshield wipers will operate in conjunction with the washers for as long as the lever is held in this position, the wipers continuing for a further 3 to 4 wipes after the lever is released. WARNING If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 40 degrees F, use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection. In cold weather, failure to use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. NOTE: State or local regulations may restrict the use of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), which are commonly used as anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A washer fluid with limited VOC content should be used only if it provides adequate freeze resistance for all regions and climates in which the vehicle will be operated.

They can also be folded back manually towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position, to enable the vehicle to negotiate narrow openings. H3363
