EXTERIOR LAMPS
Lamps master switch
The rotary master switch has a maximum of 
four positions and three detent positions. If a 
vehicle is not fitted with all options, the number 
of switch positions will be reduced accordingly.
The positions are:
1.Off
2.Side lamps
3.Low beam headlamps
4.Automatic control lamps*The detent positions are:
1.Off
2.Front fog lamps*
3.Rear fog lamps
If front fog lamps are not fitted, the rear fog 
lamps come on at the first pull of the switch.
Side lamps
The front and rear side lamps, along with 
licence plate and side marker lamps*, 
illuminate when the lamps master switch is 
turned to positions ’2’ or ’3’, regardless of the 
position of the starter switch.
Automatic control lamps
*
With the rotary master switch in position ’4’ and 
starter switch in position ’II’, the side lamps, 
low beam headlamps and licence plate lamps 
will illuminate automatically when the ambient 
light falls below a predefined level.
All of the lamps will go out when the ambient 
light rises above that level.

High beam
With the rotary master lighting switch in 
position ’3’ and starter switch in position ’ll’, 
push the column lighting switch lever away 
from the steering wheel as far as it will go to 
select high beam, and release it.
To cancel high beam, pull the lever towards the 
steering wheel again and release it.
While high beam is selected, a blue indicator 
will be illuminated in the instrument pack.
Note: Legislation limits the number of 
forward-facing lamps that can be illuminated at 
any one time. Therefore, if front fog lamps and 
low-beam headlamps are on together, the 
switching on of high-beam headlamps would 
cause the fog lamps to be switched off.
Headlamp high beam flash
To flash the headlamps on high beam, pull the 
lever towards the steering wheel and release it.
The blue indicator in the instrument pack 
illuminates when the headlamps are flashed.Dimmer Control
Rotate the dimmer control to vary the level of 
instrument pack illumination.
Headlamp courtesy delay
As a driver convenience feature the headlamps 
can be kept on for a short time after the vehicle 
is parked. Turn the starter switch off with the 
headlamps still switched on. The lamps master 
switch can be in positions ’2’, ’3’ or ’4’.
Remove the key from the starter switch and 
turn lamps master switch fully anticlockwise to 
the Off position. The headlamps will remain 
illuminated for up to 240 seconds. This 
automatic time delay is configurable (see 
SELECTING SETTINGS OPTION, 93).
The courtesy delay may be cancelled at any 
time by turning the starter switch to positions ’l’ 
or ’II’ or the lamps master switch from position 
’1’ to ’2’.

Wipers & Washers
OPERATING
The wipers and washers will only operate when 
the starter switch is turned to position ’I’ or ’II’.
•DO NOT operate the wipers on a dry screen.
•In freezing or very hot conditions, ensure 
that the blades are not stuck to the glass.
•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.
Note: If the wiper blades have stuck to the 
glass, an electronic cut-out may temporarily 
prevent the wiper motor from operating. If this 
is the case, switch the wipers off and turn the 
starter switch off. Clear the obstruction and try 
again.
Semi-automatic operation of the wiper blades is 
possible by setting the wiper lever to the rain 
sensor variable delay
* mode. In this mode, the 
wipers operate only when the rain sensor 
detects moisture on windshield and remain 
inactive whilst the screen is dry.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Rain sensor variable delay* or intermittent 
variable delay
Push the lever up to position 1.
Normal speed wipe
Push the lever up to position 2.
Fast speed wipe
Push the lever up to position 3.
Single wipe
Pull the lever down and release immediately.
Note: With the lever held down, the wipers will 
operate at fast speed until the lever is released.

Intermittent variable delay
With the lever in position ’1’, rotate the delay 
switch clockwise to increase, and anticlockwise 
to decrease, the frequency of the intermittent 
wipe.
Speed-dependant mode
With the lever in position ’1’, speed-dependant 
mode is operable.
If the vehicle’s speed drops below 8 km/h 
(5 mph) with the wipers operating, the wiper 
frequency automatically reduces. The wipers 
will switch to the next lowest operating speed. 
When the vehicle’s speed increases to over 
8 km/h (5 mph), the original wiper speed 
setting is restored automatically.
This setting can be configured by a 
Land Rover Retailer.
Speed-dependant-intermittent mode
The frequency of wiper operation in intermittent 
mode is also adjusted automatically according 
to road speed on those vehicles not equipped 
with a rain sensor.
The intermittent period can be adjusted for each 
of the dependant modes by rotating the delay 
switch either clockwise or anticlockwise.
This setting can be configured by a 
Land Rover Retailer.Rain sensor variable delay*
Caution: BEFORE entering an automatic car 
wash, ensure that the wipers are switched off 
- otherwise they could operate during the car 
wash programme and be damaged.
The rain sensor is fitted to the inside of the 
windshield, immediately ahead of the rear view 
mirror. The sensor is able to detect varying 
amounts of dirt or water on the outside of the 
screen.
With the wiper switch in position ’1’, the 
variable delay automatically adjusts the 
frequency of the wiper operation according to 
the information supplied by the rain sensor.
You can increase or decrease the sensitivity of 
the rain sensor, and therefore the frequency of 
wiper operation, by rotating the delay switch- 
either clockwise or anticlockwise.
If the sensor detects constant rain, the wipers 
will operate continuously.
Auto park
If the starter switch is turned to the Off position 
while the wipers are operating, they will 
continue to the Park position and stop.
