8.Fully tighten the wheel nuts in an 
alternating pattern until all are tightened. 
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN by using foot 
pressure or extension bars on the wheel 
stud brace, as this could overstress the 
wheel nuts. Check the wheel nut torque at 
the earliest opportunity (see ‘WHEELS & 
TIRES’, page 276).
9.Using a suitable blunt tool, apply light 
pressure to the rear of the replaced wheel 
center cap and remove. Using hand 
pressure only, fit the center cap into the 
newly fitted wheel. Return tools, chocks, 
jack and the replaced wheel to their 
correct storage positions.
NOTE: Storing the wheel in the spare 
wheel well can be achieved by following 
the full size spare wheel removal 
procedure in the reverse order.
10.REMEMBER to change to ‘H’ (high range) 
before driving.
11.Finally, check the tire pressure at the 
earliest opportunity (see ‘WHEELS & 
TIRES’, page 276).Directional Tires*
Directional tires give greater benefit when they 
rotate in a forward direction, i.e when the 
vehicle is moving forward. They give enhanced 
levels of deep-water grip while still maintaining 
low tire noise generation.
Should a tire be fitted to a vehicle in the wrong 
directional sense, these benefits will only be 
maintained if the tire is remounted to the rim so 
that it rotates in the direction indicated on the 
sidewall.
There are two types of directional tire and the 
direction indicators are shown in the illustration 
below.

Emergency StartingSTARTING AN ENGINE WITH A 
DISCHARGED BATTERY
Using booster cables (jump leads) from a 
donor battery, or a battery fitted to a donor 
vehicle, is the only approved method of starting 
a vehicle with a discharged battery. This 
procedure differs to that used to charge a 
battery, which should not be attempted with the 
battery connected to the vehicle. 
Push or tow starting is NOT recommended!
WARNING
Always wear appropriate eye protection when 
working with batteries
During normal use, batteries emit explosive 
hydrogen gas sufficient to cause severe 
explosions capable of causing serious injury - 
keep sparks and naked lights away from the 
engine compartment.
DO NOT attempt to start the vehicle if the 
electrolyte in the battery is suspected of being 
frozen.
Make sure BOTH batteries are of the same 
voltage (12 volts), and that the booster cables 
have insulated clamps and are approved for 
use with 12 volt batteries.
DO NOT disconnect the discharged battery.
DO NOT connect positive (+) terminals to 
negative (-) terminals, and ensure booster 
cables are kept away from any moving parts 
in the engine compartment.
Take care when working near rotating parts of 
the engine.
USING BOOSTER CABLES
If a donor vehicle is to be used, both vehicles 
should be parked with their battery locations 
adjacent to each other. Ensure that the two 
vehicles do not touch.
Apply the parking brakes and ensure that the 
transmission of both vehicles is set in neutral 
(‘P’ or Park for vehicles with automatic 
transmission).
Turn off the starter switch and ALL electrical 
equipment of BOTH vehicles, then follow the 
connection instructions on the following page. 
						

							Emergency Starting
242
CONNECTING THE BOOSTER CABLES
WARNING
ALWAYS use the recommended connection 
points.
DO NOT attach booster cables to the positive 
terminal of the vehicle battery. The positive 
terminal is equipped with a pyrotechnic 
device, that disconnects the battery as a 
safety precaution when the vehicle is involved 
in a collision. Attaching a booster cable to the 
positive terminal may cause inadvertent 
firing of the device - this may result in 
personal injury or death and may damage the 
vehicle.
ENSURE that each connection is securely 
made and that there is no risk of the clips 
accidentally slipping or being pulled from 
connection points - this could cause sparking, 
which could lead to explosion or fire.Booster cable connection points
The booster cable connection points (both 
negative (-) and positive (+)) located in the 
engine compartment, are remote from the 
vehicle battery. These are provided to improve 
personal safety when attempting to receive or 
give a booster start. 
The positive (+) connection point, shown in the 
left inset of the illustration, is protected by a 
cover to prevent an inadvertent connection and 
to avoid contamination. Open the cover before 
attempting to connect a booster cable.
The negative (-) connection point is a special 
nut, located on the suspension turret (see 
illustration).
Always use these connection points when 
connecting booster cables and ensure the 
cables are kept clear of any moving parts in the 
engine compartment.

RECEIVING A BOOSTER START
WARNING
DO NOT connect the BLACK cable to the 
negative terminal of the discharged battery - 
this could cause sparking, which could lead to 
fire or explosion. Always use the negative (-) 
connection point. If in doubt, seek qualified 
assistance.Always adopt the following procedure, 
ensuring the cables are connected in the 
order shown below:
1.Connect one end of the RED booster cable 
to the positive (+) terminal of the DONOR 
battery or the donor vehicle’s positive (+) 
connection point.
2.Connect the other end of the RED booster 
cable to the positive (+) connection point 
in the engine compartment of the Range 
Rover (see left inset). 
3.Connect one end of the BLACK booster 
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the 
DONOR battery or the donor vehicle’s 
negative (-) connection point.
4.Connect the other end of the BLACK 
booster cable to the negative (-) 
connection point in the engine 
compartment of the Range Rover (see 
right inset).
WARNING
ENSURE that each connection is securely 
made and that there is no risk of the clips 
accidentally slipping or being pulled from the 
connection points/battery terminal - this 
could cause sparking, which could lead to fire 
or explosion.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ensure that you have read and fully 
understood the information and warnings 
given earlier in this section (see ‘STARTING 
AN ENGINE WITH A DISCHARGED 
BATTERY’, page 241, ‘USING BOOSTER 
CABLES’, page 241 and ‘CONNECTING THE

							Emergency Starting
244
Check that the cables are clear of any moving 
parts of both engines, then start the engine of 
the donor vehicle and allow it to idle for a few 
minutes. 
Now start the vehicle with the discharged 
battery. Once both engines are running 
normally, allow them to idle for two minutes 
before switching off the donor vehicle engine. 
DO NOT switch on any electrical circuits on the 
previously disabled vehicle until AFTER the 
booster cables have been removed.
Disconnecting the booster cables must be an 
EXACT reversal of the procedure used to 
connect them, i.e. disconnect the BLACK cable 
from the negative (-) connection on the Range 
Rover FIRST.
If the vehicle power supply has been 
interrupted, ABS and DSC will be deactivated 
(the relevant warning lights will illuminate). 
They can be reactivated by driving a short 
distance or by turning the steering wheel from 
full lock to lock, with the engine running and the 
vehicle stationary. The ABS and DSC warning 
lights will extinguish when the systems are 
reactivated.GIVING A BOOSTER START

							Towing the Vehicle
246
To wing the  Ve hicleTOWING EYES
CAUTION: The towing eyes at the front and rear 
of the vehicle are designed for on-road vehicle 
recovery purposes only and must NOT be used 
to tow a trailer.
Front
A single towing eye, set behind a removable 
panel in the front spoiler is provided at the front 
of the vehicle for on-road recovery. 
Before driving off-road, remove the panel from 
the spoiler as a precaution against accidental 
loss.
Removing the panel: Using both hands, one 
either side of the towing eye, squeeze the cover 
and pull away from the vehicle. To replace the 
cover, push it firmly back into position.
Rear
The towing eye provided at the rear of the 
vehicle can be used for towing your vehicle or 
towing another vehicle in recovery situations.
TOWING FOR RECOVERY
Most vehicle recovery specialists will load your 
vehicle onto a trailer - this is the recommended 
method. However, if it is necessary to recover 
the vehicle by towing with all four wheels on the 
ground, following the procedure for towing the 
vehicle on four wheels, (see ‘TOWING THE 
VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS’, page 246)
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS
WARNING
ALWAYS adhere to the following procedure 
when towing the vehicle with all four wheels 
on the ground. Failure to do so could result in 
unintended vehicle movement or 
unanticipated vehicle conditions.
When preparing to tow the vehicle on four 
wheels, it is essential that neutral is selected 
on the transfer gearbox - before attempting to 
select transfer neutral, ensure that the 
parking brake is properly and securely 
applied.
1.Secure the towing attachment from the 
recovery vehicle to the front towing eye of 
the vehicle to be recovered (see ‘TOWING 
EYES’, page 246).
2.With the parking brake applied, insert the 
starter key and turn it to position ‘II’.
H3899
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your vehicle has permanent four-wheel 
drive and is fitted with a steering lock. The 
following instructions must be carried out 
carefully to prevent damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION: Leaving the starter switch in 
position ‘I’ or ‘II’ for extended periods will 
put a draw on the battery, which can lead to 
a voltage drop and ultimately to a 
discharged battery. 
						

							Towing the Vehicle
247
3.Place the gear lever in ‘N’ (neutral).
4.Turn the starter switch to position ‘0’.
5.Insert a fuse (5 amps) into position 37 of 
the passenger compartment fuse box (see 
‘PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FUSE 
BOX’, page 250).
6.Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’. The 
transfer gearbox will automatically select 
transfer neutral - wait until the message 
center displays ‘TRANSFER NEUTRAL’.
7.Place the gear lever in ‘P’ (park).
8.Turn the starter switch to position ‘I’ (DO 
NOT turn the starter switch to position ‘0’).
NOTE: The transfer gearbox is now in 
neutral and the steering wheel is unlocked. 
The vehicle MUST remain in this condition 
whilst being towed on all four wheels.
9.If required, the starter switch may be 
turned to position ‘II’, to operate the brake 
lights and direction indicators.
10.Release the parking brake before towing 
the vehicle.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the key or turn the starter 
switch to position ‘0’ while the vehicle is in 
motion.
Without the engine running, the brake servo 
and power steering pump cannot provide 
assistance; greater effort will therefore be 
required to operate the brake pedal and turn 
the steering wheel. Longer stopping 
distances will also be experienced.
RECREATIONAL/MOTORHOME TOWING
If you intend to tow your vehicle behind a 
motorhome or recreational vehicle, follow the 
procedure specified for ‘TOWING THE VEHICLE 
ON FOUR WHEELS’. Failure to follow this 
procedure may result in damage to the 
transmission.
After towing on four wheels
To engage the transfer gearbox after towing, 
perform the following steps:
1.Apply the parking brake and verify that ‘N’ 
(neutral) is selected in the main gearbox.
2.Turn the starter switch to position ‘0’.
3.Remove the fuse from position 37 of the 
passenger compartment fuse box.
4.Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’. The 
transfer gearbox will engage and 
‘TRANSFER NEUTRAL’ will extinguish 
from the message center display. Press 
the range change switch to select either 
HIGH or LOW range.
5.Select ‘P’ (park) in the main gearbox.
6.Turn the starter switch to position ‘0’.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If, for any reason, power from the battery is 
lost and transfer neutral cannot be engaged, 
the vehicle can still be towed for up to 
6 hours at a maximum speed of 
50 mph (80 km/h).
If the main gearbox cannot be set in neutral, 
the vehicle must not be towed under any 
circumstances.

TRANSPORTER OR TRAILER LASHING
Pairs of lashing eyes are fixed to the underside 
of the vehicle - at the front (to the rear of the 
front wheels) and at the rear (backward of the 
rear wheels). DO NOT secure lashing hooks or 
trailer fixings to any other part of the vehicle. 
NOTE: The front and rear lashing eyes are for 
lashing only and must NOT be used for towing.
H3986
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Once the vehicle is loaded onto the trailer 
and if the vehicle electronics are operational, 
the electronic air suspension (EAS) must be 
set to Access height. This should be done 
BEFORE securing the vehicle to the trailer. 
						

							Fuses
249
FusesFUSES
Fuses are simple circuit devices which protect 
electrical equipment against the effects of 
excess current.
A ‘blown’ fuse is indicated when the electrical 
equipment it protects becomes inoperative.
Fuses are color coded to help identify their 
amperage, as follows:
Fuse colors
Checking or renewing a fuse
Always turn the starter switch to position ‘O’ 
and switch off the affected electrical circuit 
before removing a fuse.
WARNING
To prevent a possible fire or damage to the 
electrical system, fit only replacement fuses 
of the same rating and type. Do not replace a 
blown fuse with a fuse of a higher amperage 
rating. Always rectify the cause of the failure 
before replacing a fuse. Seek qualified 
assistance if necessary.The fuse removal tweezers are located in the 
glovebox (arrowed in illustration). Press the 
tweezers onto the head of the suspect fuse (as 
shown) and pull to remove. A break in the wire 
inside the fuse indicates that the fuse has 
blown and must be replaced. 
Always replace a fuse with another of the same 
value, however, if the replacement fuse blows 
immediately the circuit MUST be checked by a 
qualified retailer. VIOLET 3 amp
