USING 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.

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 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, observe the following procedure:
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 
handbrake 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 214).
2.With the handbrake applied, insert the 
starter key and turn it to position ‘II’.
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 218).
6.Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’. The 
transfer gearbox will automatically select 
transfer neutral - wait until the message 
centre 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 handbrake 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.
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.
Leaving the starter switch in position ‘I’ or 
‘II’ for extended periods may drain the 
vehicle battery. 
						

							Vehicle Recovery
216
After towing on four wheels
To engage the transfer gearbox after towing, 
perform the following steps:
1.Apply the handbrake 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 centre 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’.
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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the above conditions are met, the vehicle 
may be towed for up to 6 hours at a 
maximum speed of 80 km/h.
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 
3 hours at a maximum speed of 
30 km/h.
If the main gearbox cannot be set in neutral, 
the vehicle must not be towed under any 
circumstances.
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
217
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 colour coded to help identify their 
amperage, as follows:
Fuse colours
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
Fit only replacement fuses of the same rating 
and type. 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 dealer. VIOLET 3 amp
