drivers side of the vehicle - the forward
intermediate position should be used for the
drivers side, and the rearward intermediate
position used for the passenger side.

6. 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 towards
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 4 US gallons (15 litres) or less.When the fuel remaining in the tank is a
minimum of 2.4 gallons (9 litres), the AMBER
warning light will illuminate. If the light
illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity.
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 25 usable
US gallons (93 litres).
WARNING
NEVER allow your vehicle to run out of fuel
(the resultant misfire may destroy the
catalytic converter). 
						

							Warning lights
51
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.
WARNING
DO NOT drive if a RED warning light remains
on once the engine is running or illuminates
whilst driving.
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).

The light illuminates for 6
seconds when the starter switch
is turned to position II. ALWAYS fasten your
seat belt BEFORE driving.
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 the oil level when this light illuminates.
NOTE:At very low ambient temperatures, the
light may take several seconds to extinguish.
Transfer gearbox - AMBER.
The light starts flashing when the
selector lever is moved across
the H-gate, and continues flashing until the
transfer gearbox has completed a change
from one range of gears to another.
DO NOT release the brakes or move the
selector lever out of N into one of the drive
positions until the light stops flashing.
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. The warning light will then remain
illuminated until the vehicle is driven above
approximately 5 mph (7 km/h). 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.
If the light remains illuminated once a speed
of 5 mph (7km/h) has been reached, 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

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.
