Rear fog guard lights
Press to operate, press a second 
time to switch off (the indicator 
light in the switch illuminates when 
the fog guard lights are switched on). The rear 
fog guard lights illuminate ONLY when the 
starter switch is in position ‘II’ and the 
headlights (or front fog lights) are also 
switched on. Switching off the headlights, or 
front fog lights, or turning the starter switch to 
position ‘0’ will automatically extinguish the 
rear fog guard lights too (the lights will not 
illuminate again unless switched on).
ALWAYS remember to switch the fog guard 
lights off as soon as visibility permits; in clear 
conditions fog guard lights can dazzle other 
road users!HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press to operate; all the direction indicator 
lights (including those fitted to a trailer) will 
flash together. Use ONLY in an emergency to 
warn other road users when your stationary 
vehicle is causing an obstruction, or is in a 
hazardous situation. Remember to switch off 
before moving away.

Wipers & WashersOPERATING
The wipers and washers will only operate when 
the starter switch is turned to position ‘I’ or ‘II’.
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, wait for 3 
minutes (or turn the starter switch off and then 
on again) free them from the obstruction and 
then switch on again.
Semi-automatic operation of the wiper blades is 
possible by setting the wiper control to the rain 
sensor variable delay
* mode. In this mode, the 
wipers operate only when the rain sensor 
detects moisture on windscreen and remain 
inactive whilst the screen is dry. For further 
information, please refer to ‘Rain sensor 
variable delay*’, page 72.
WINDSCREEN 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 normal speed until the lever is 
released.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•DO NOT operate the wipers on a dry 
screen.
•In freezing or very hot conditions, 
ensure that the blades are not frozen or 
stuck to the glass.
•In winter, remove any snow or ice from 
around the arms and blades, including 
the wiped area of the windscreen and 
the heater air intakes.

Intermittent variable delay
With the lever in position ‘1’, rotate the switch 
clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to 
decrease the frequency of the intermittent wipe.
Road speed sensor
The frequency of wiper operation is also 
adjusted automatically according to road 
speed. As the speed of the vehicle increases, 
the wiper frequency increases accordingly to 
help maintain optimum visibility. This feature is 
automatic and cannot be adjusted by the driver.
Speed sensitive wiper operation can be 
disabled by a Land Rover dealer.
Speed step-down
*: 
On vehicles NOT fitted with a rain sensor, if the 
vehicle comes to a halt with the wipers 
operating, the wipe frequency automatically 
reduces. If the wipers are set to high speed, 
they will switch to normal speed, if normal 
speed is selected, the wipers will switch to 
intermittent wipe. When the vehicle starts 
moving again, the original speed setting is 
restored automatically.Rain sensor variable delay
*
WARNING
Ensure that the rain sensor mode is 
deselected BEFORE entering an automatic car 
wash - otherwise, the wipers will operate 
during the car wash program and be 
damaged.
Your vehicle is equipped with an optical rain 
sensor fitted to the inside of the windscreen, 
immediately to the front 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 the first position, the 
variable delay adjusts automatically according 
to the information supplied by the rain sensor, 
to increase or decrease the frequency of wiper 
operation. You can increase or decrease the 
sensitivity of the rain sensor and therefore the 
frequency of wiper operation, by rotating the 
control - either clockwise to increase or 
anti-clockwise to decrease sensitivity.
If the sensor detects constant rain, the wipers 
automatically operate continuously at normal 
speed wipe.

WINDSCREEN WASHER
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (for at 
least 0.5 seconds). The windscreen wipers will 
operate in conjunction with the washers for as 
long as the lever is held in this position, the 
wipers continuing for a further 3 wipes after the 
lever is released.
This feature can also be activated by pressing 
the button on the end of the lever.
HEADLIGHT WASH/WIPE*
With the starter switch on and the headlights 
illuminated, the headlight washers operate 
automatically in conjunction with the 
windscreen washers as follows:
On the first operation of the windscreen 
washers, the headlight wipers operate for 4 
wipes, with the headlight washers operating for 
the first two of those wipes. Subsequently, the 
headlight washers and wipers operate every 
fifth time the windscreen washers are operated 
(provided that at least 3 minutes has elapsed 
since the last headlight wash/wipe).

The delay between wipes can be set by the 
driver. Turn the wiper on, then off - leave the 
wiper off for the desired delay period (0 - 30 
seconds), then turn the wiper back on. If the 
switch is turned back on immediately, the wiper 
will operate continuously. The default delay is 
10.5 seconds. If the starter switch is turned off, 
or the wiper switch is turned off for longer than 
10 seconds, the delay returns to the default 
setting.
NOTE: If the rear wiper is switched on, it 
operates continuously (as opposed to 
intermittently) whenever reverse gear is 
selected.

1.Right hand front window.
2.Left hand front window.
3.Right hand rear window.
4.Left hand rear window.
5.Isolating switch for rear door window 
switches.
NOTE: Rear windows can also be operated by 
the individual switches mounted on each rear 
door. The rear window switches will not operate 
if the isolation switch has been activated.Operating the windows
The electric windows can be operated when the

WARNING
Accidental closing of an electrically operated 
window on fingers, hands or any vulnerable 
part of the body, can result in serious injury. 
Always observe the following precautions:
ISOLATE the rear window switches when 
carrying children. 
ENSURE children are kept clear whilst raising 
or lowering windows.
ENSURE that all adult passengers are familiar 
with the controls and the potential dangers of 
electrically operated windows.
DO NOT allow passengers to extend any part 
of their bodies through a window aperture 
while the vehicle is moving - injury from 
flying debris, branches of trees or other 
obstructions could occur.
It is recommended that the starter key is 
removed when leaving the vehicle.

top of a switch, a window will open fully at a 
single touch. Window movement can be 
stopped at any time by BRIEFLY pressing the 
top of the switch.
To close the window at a single touch, firmly lift 
and release the top of a switch. Window 
movement can be stopped at any time by

during window closing, the closing operation is 
interrupted and the window backs off. This is a 
safety feature designed to prevent inadvertent 
closing of a window on vulnerable parts of the 
body or other obstructions. Remove any 
obstruction and then close the window.
If, for any reason, it is required to override the 
anti-trap mechanism, lift and hold the relevant 
window switch until the window has closed.
