Temperature gauge Once the engine coolant has reached its normal operating temperature the pointer should be almost vertical (the precise position will vary depending on the ambient temperature). If the pointer moves close to the RED segment a RED warning light in the temperature gauge illuminates. Should the pointer move INTO the red segment, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing. 7. 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 changes to reflect the increase of fuel in the tank. NOTE:The gauge may not indicate fuel level increases of 15 litres or less.When the fuel remaining in the tank is a minimum of 9 litres, the AMBER warning light will illuminate. If the light illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity. Fuel tank capacity is approximately 100 usable litres. WARNING NEVER allow your vehicle to run out of fuel (the resultant misfire may destroy the catalytic converter).
Warning lights 59 EFH C1 023 4 5 620 406080100120 140 160 180 200 220km/h r/min x1000 ABSSRS TC P0413 The specification of the warning lights will vary according to model and market requirements. Some warning lights may also be accompanied by a message which will appear in the message centre display on the instrument pack. (seeMessage centrefor details). The warning lights are colour coded as follows: GREEN & BLUE lights indicate that a unit is operating. AMBER & YELLOW lights are cautions. RED lights are warnings.Check engine - AMBER The light illuminates when the starter is turned to position II as a bulb check and extinguishes when the engine is running. Illumination at any other time indicates an engine fault; if the light illuminates while driving, avoid high speeds and seek qualified assistance urgently. Seatbelt - RED. The light illuminates for 6 seconds when the starter switch is turned to position II. ALWAYS fasten your seat belt BEFORE driving.
Warning lights 60 Handbrake/brake system - RED. Illuminates for 3 seconds as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position II and also illuminates when the handbrake is applied and the starter switch is in position II. The light should extinguish when the handbrake is fully released or after the bulb check if the handbrake is off. If the light illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing. NOTE:If the vehicle has been standing for some time, it may take up to 40 seconds before the light extinguishes (in this case, ABS and TC warning lights will also be illuminated). Battery charging - RED. Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position II and extinguishes when the engine is running. If it remains on or illuminates when driving, a fault is indicated. Seek qualified assistance urgently. Trailer direction indicators - GREEN. This light is only operative when a trailer is connected to the vehicle via a multi-pin socket. The light flashes in conjunction with the vehicle direction indicators, thus confirming that the trailer indicator lights are operating correctly. In the event of the failure of a trailer direction indicator light, the warning light will not illuminate. Low engine oil pressure - RED. Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position II, and extinguishes when the engine is running. If it remains on when the engine is started, or comes on during a journey, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing. Always check oil levels when this light illuminates. NOTE:At very low ambient temperatures the light may take several seconds to extinguish. ABS - YELLOW. This light illuminates for approximately 1 second when the starter switch is turned to position II, and then briefly extinguishes before coming on again. If the light does not extinguish and then illuminate again then a fault has occurred with the ABS system and you should consult your Land Rover dealer at the earliest opportunity. The warning light will remain illuminated until the vehicle is driven above approximately 7 km/h. If the light remains illuminated or subsequently illuminates whilst driving, a fault has been detected by the self-monitoring system. The message centre will display ABS FAULT; this means that full ABS control may not be available, and you should consult your dealer at the earliest opportunity.
Warning lights 61 Airbag SRS - RED. The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position II, and extinguishes after approximately 5 seconds. If the light illuminates at any other time, a fault is indicated. Seek qualified assistance urgently. Transfer gearbox - AMBER. The light starts flashing when the selector lever is moved across the H-gate (automatic gearbox vehicles), and continues flashing until the transfer gearbox has completed a change from one range of gears to another. DO NOT release the brakes or drive until the light stops flashing. Traction control (TC) - AMBER. Illuminates for three seconds after the starter switch is turned on and the ABS and traction control systems have completed their self-checks. Whilst driving, the TC light will illuminate (for a minimum of two seconds) whenever traction control is active; the light extinguishing as soon as traction control ceases. The light flashing (for at least ten seconds) indicates that the system has been over-used; it will be available again once the system components have cooled. If the light illuminates continuously, a fault with the system is indicated; seek qualified assistance. Direction indicators - GREEN. The left or right warning light flashes in time with the corresponding left or right direction indicators whenever they are operated. A warning light flashing at twice the normal speed indicates that a direction indicator bulb has failed (the message centre will indicate which bulb is faulty). If a trailer is connected and a rear indicator bulb fails then the message will not be displayed. When the hazard switch is pressed, both warning lights will illuminate in conjunction with the indicator lights. Headlight main beam - BLUE. This light illuminates whenever the main beam headlights are on. Lights on - GREEN. This light illuminates when the sidelights and/or headlights are switched on. It will not illuminate when parking lights or headlight delay are in operation. Air suspension - AMBER Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned on and remains illuminated until two seconds after the engine has started. In addition, the light will illuminate whilst driving whenever High or Extended ride heights are selected, and also if a fault with the air suspension system is detected.
