Heated rear window Not used Seat belt warning Saudi Arabia Side lights on The warning lights may flicker when the engine is running at idling speed but provided they fade out as the engine speed increases, the charging rate and oil pressure are satisfactory. If the oil pressure warning light comes on during normal running, the vehicle should be stopped immediately and the cause investigated.

The ignition warning light is connected in series with the alternator field circuit. Bulb failure would prevent the alternator charging, therefore the bulb should be checked before suspecting an alternator lault. A failed bulb should be changed with the minimum o delay otherwise the battery will become discharged. If leakage occurs the warning light will come on when brakes are applied.

The brake circuit warning light will operate mdmentarily when the starter is actuated. This confirms that the warning circuit is functioning correctly. If the light comes on during normal running or braking, the vehicle should be stopped immediately, and the cause investigated. If the direction EBoth direction indicator arrows flash in conjunction with the direction indicator indicator arrows do not operate as described, there may be a bulb failure in the warning lamp panel or one of the directionindicator lamps.

Its purpose is to remind you to dip the headlamps when entering a brightly lit area, or when approaching other traf ic. The warning light will also glow when the headlamp flasher switch is used. The light will remain on until the fuel supply is EThe amber warningIntermittent light will be illuminated when there is approximately 9 litres 2 replenished. If a diesel model is allowed to run out of fuel, the fuel system must be primed when the tank is replenished.

IGHT control is operated. It will flash in conjunction with the vehicle aThe trailer warning lightlights, is operative when that a trailer is connected the vehicle via a indicator warning thus ensuring the trailer indicatorto lamps are tunctioning correctly. In the event of an indicator bulb failure on the trailer, the warning light will flash once only and then remain extinguished.

Where a trailer is not used or connected, the trailer warning light will only operate when the hazard warning system is in use. The warning light may also illuminate in high ambient temperatures under the following conditions.

I t Driving continuously at high speeds for Ions periods. Towing heavy loads up long inclines for sustained periods. Should the warning light illuminate, reduce speed and select a lower gear. If the light remains on, stop the vehicle when it is safe and practical to do so, until the light extinguishes. When towing heavy loads, it may be necessary to select low range L on the transfer gearbox.

NOTE: The warning light should only illuminate under very hot conditions. If it illuminates under reasonable conditions, the cause should be investigated by your dealer. If the light remains on with the engine running there is a fault that should be investigated. The red warning light with triangular symbol in the switch will flash in conjunction with the exterior flasher lights.

Use the hazard warning system tb warn following or oncoming traffic of any hazard, that is, breakdown on last road, or an accident to your own or other vehicles. ST 0n models fitted with a steering column lock, the lock is an integral part of the ignition and starter switch on petrol models and the heater plug and starter switch on diesel vehicles. The following instructions should be studied in conjunction with the engine starter switch operation overleaf.

To unlock the steering, insert the key and turn it forward to the irst position. To lock the steering, turn the key fully back, and withdraw it from the lock.

A A WARNING: lf lor any reason lhe ignition engine is switched off while lhe vehicle is in motion, do not attempt under any circumstances to remove llie key, otherwise the steering lock will be engaged. WARNING: To prevent the steering column lock engaging it is most important that before the vehicle is moved in any way, for example, being towed or coasting, the key must be inserled in the lock and turned lo the firsl posilion.

If, due lo an accident or elec. ST The engine starter switch is combined with the steering column lock. The switch is key operated and has four positions. Auxiliary position: heater blower motor and accessories, such as radio can be used. Heater plugs switched on Diesel models.

Release the key immediately the engine starts; the key will automatically return to the 'run' mode with oil and charge lights and accessories. ST The switch has six positions: Switch in central position 1 : dipped headlamps.

Switch pushed away from driver 2 : main beam Switch pulled towards driver 3 : headlamp flash. The headlamps can be flashed at any time, irrespective ol other switch positions. Press dipper switch knob inwards 4 to operate horn. Move switch to upper position 5 to indicate a right-hand turn. ST The main light switch has three positions: Switch pulled towards driver 7 : all lamps off. Switch in centre position 8 : side lamps on. Switch pushed away from driver 9 : with the engine starter key in the run 11 position, side and headlamps on.

ST The windscreen wiper switch has live positions and is only operative when the engine starter key is in the engine running position. Switch in upper position 1 : last-speed wiper. Switch in second position 2 : slow-speed wiper. Switch in third position 3 : 'flick wipe': wipers will operate at slow speed until switch is released.

Switch in fourth position 4 : wipers off. Switch in lowest position 5 : intermittent wipe. Approximately five seconds delay between each wipe. Switch pressed in 6 : screen wash position. Hold the switch until sufficient water is ejected on to the screen, then I. This can be done with the wiper switch on or of'. The headlamp washer jet units are fitted on the front bumper, one in front of each headlamp.

The jet direction can be adjusted with the aid of a needle inserted into the orifice which can also be cleared with a fine needle or wire when necessary. ST The switch has two positions and can be operated with or without the ignition on but is effective only with the headlamps on. A Switch pulled towards driver 7 : fog lamps off. Use the hazard warning system to warn following or oncoming traffic of any hazard, that is, breakdown on fast road, or an accident to your own or other vehicles.

This position will only be operative whilst the starter key is in the engine running position, and sufficient current is available. The integral warning lamp is lit when the switch is in the ON position, acting as a reminder to the driver that the switch and screen are on.

A voltage sensitive switch is incorporated in the circuit to allow the heated rear screen and other equipment to be used simultaneously under normal conditions However, should the total electrical loadings be such that the alternator cannot maintain adequate charge, tor instance, when using all electrical services in a traffic jam, the voltage sensitive switch, will cut-out, rendering the heated rear screen inoperative.

The switch will automatically cut-in again restoring the heated screen function as soon as conditions are favourable. LR This control will be found useful in conjunction with power take-off equipment and is used to over-ride the accelerator pedal linkage and set the throttle. This is suitable for all installations where precise speed control is not required, and where the engine load is light or relatively constant.

Place the transfer gear lever in Neutral N then, pull the hand throttle control out and twist it to lock it in the required position. Operation of the accelerator will over-ride the hand throttle setting when increasing the engine speed. When the accelerator is released, the engine will return to the speed set by the hand throttle. Before normal road driving is contemplated, check and ensure that the hand throttle is pushed fully down to the closed position.

Because the hand throttle is used to run the engine under load with the vehicle stationary, it may be necessary to tit an engine oil cooler system when used in hot climates. ST lf the vehicle is fitted with an extra fuel tank option a changeover switch 1 is located under the dash below the instl. Each tank is fitted with an electric luel pump and a sender unit for the fuel contents gauge.

The supply from either tank can be selected, and the contents checked, by operating the changeover switch with the ignition switched on. LR lf the vehicle is fitted with an extra fuel tank option a combined changeover tap and switch is located on the heelboard. Movement of the tap lever brings into use either the rear or the side tank, and switches the fuel level indicator tQ show the approximate contents of the tank in use.

When the lever is in the horizontal position the side tank is in use, in the vertical position the main tank is in use. ST The two ventilators in the windscreen frame may be opened independently by pushing the lever downwards until each ventilator is open to the desired position.

Use of the ventilators will be found advantageous when traversing dusty roads, as they greatly reduce the amount of dust sucked into the vehicle from the rear. ST A drum-type handbrake, well protected from dirt and water, operates directly on the transfer box rear output shaft and is designed tor parking use only.

The brake is applied by pulling back the lever. To release, pull the lever slightly back, depress and hold the release button while pushing the lever down to the limit of its travel. To avoid needless wear of the clutch withdrawal mechanism do not rest the foot on the clutch pedal while driving. CAUTloN: Power assisted steering - under no circumstances must the steering wheel be held on full lock for more than thirty seconds in one minute, otheiwise there will be a tendancy for the oil to overheat and damage to the seals may result.

To select first or second gear, move the lever to the left against the spring and select the required ratio as normal. When changing from second to third gear, as second gear is disengaged, allow the spring to align the lever with the third position before engaging third gear. Note that fifth gear is designed to reduce engine speed and thus improve fuel economy when cruising. Ensure that while it is in use the engine runs easily without labouring, otherwise use a lower gear.

Reverse is protected against inadvertent selection by an additional 'knock- over' spring load. To engage reverse, strike the lever as far as possible towards the left using the palm of the hand and move it toiwai. To disengage, pull the lever rearwards and allow the spring load to return to its normal position in neutral.

It is recommended that, before driving away for the first time, the driver becomes familiar with the operation of the gear change by changing up and down through all ratios several times.

LR The transfer gear lever 2 controls the selection of the high or low gear ranges and the engagement of the centre differential lock. The lever, which is located immediately behind the main gear lever, has the following positions: Central right, Position N. Transfer box in neutral, centre differential unlocked.

In this position drive cannot be transmitted to the road wheels regardless of the position of the main gear selector. Use this position for winching or power take-off pto and when being towed. Fully forward and right, Position I. Transfer gearbox low range engaged. Transfer gearbox low range engaged AND centre differential locked warning light illuminated. Fully rearwards and right, Position H. Transfer gearbox high range engaged.

This position is used for normal driving. Transter gearbox high range engaged AND centre differential locked warning light illuminated. Centre lell. Transfer box in neutral, Position N, centre differential locked. This position should not be used. Depress the clutch pedal and push the lever fully forvard, release the clutch, Should there be any hesitation in the gear engaging, do not force the lever.

With the engine running, engage a gear with the main gear lever and release the clutch momentarily, then return the main gear lever to neutral and try the transter control again.

Changes fl. Depress the clutch pedal and release the accelerator pedal as tor a normal gearchange. Move the transfer lever into neutral. Release the clutch pedal for 3 seconds. Depress the clutch pedal and move the transler lever lirmly to the 'high' H position.

Then move the main gear lever to second gear and release the clutch pedal while depressing the accelerator to take up the drive smoothly. As the vehicle accelerates, change gear in the main gearbox in the normal way. This operation can be carried out smoothly and quickly after a little practice. Proper use of the gearbox range will ensure optimum efficiency and transmission component life. The centre differential is controlled through the combined transfer gear and differential locklever described on the previous page.

The control can be operatedwhile the vehicle is travelling without wheel slip and in a straightline, or while it is stationary. The differential should be locked before slippery or doubtful surface conditions are encountered. This delay is a built-in safety precaution and ensures that gears are correctly aligned before differential locking occurs. On disengagement of the lock there may be a short delay before the warning light goes out indicating differential unlocked.

If the warning light remains on, this indicates that the transmission is 'wound-up'. The vehicle must be stopped and reversed for a lew metres to 'unwind' the transmission; the warning light will then be extinguished and the vehicle can proceed. ST The heating system delivers fresh air to the windscreen for demisting and to the driving cab interior in variable temperature proportions, between cold and hot according to the setting of the controls.

Warm or hot air will be available once the engine has attained normal working temperatures. The heater has three controls: 1. Three speed blower switch. Temperature control. Air distribution control. Move the lever down to the first or second stop, this will give slow or fast blower motor speed to boost he air flow into the vehicle.

Move in direction of red ai. Lever mid-way position, air is directed to the foot level vents and to the screen. Lever fully down, air is directed to the toot level vents although a certain amount will continue to pass through the demister vents. ST Set the distribution control 3 to the top position. Set the temperature control 2 to the lowest Red position. Push the blower motor switch 1 to the last speed lowest position. ST Set the distribution control 3 in the mid position.

Push the blower motor switch 1 to the fast speed lowest position. ST Set the distribution control 3 in the lowest position.

ST The air conditioning system operates in conjunction with the vehicle heater to provide cooled and dried recirculated or fresh air. ST The air cond-itioning pushbutton control is pressed to switch on the air conditioning and is illuminated when operative.

ST The temperatur'e of air flowing from the footwell and windscreen may be regulated between cold blue and hot red by moving the control as required, For effective air conditioning, this control should be maintained in the cold blue position.

Air is directed to the windscreen with a bleed to the footwell. This position is used to direct air from the fascia-mounted louvres, with a bleed to the footwell.

Air is directed to the footwells, although a certain amount will continue to flow through the demister vents to the windscreen. Any of the air distribution positions may be used in conjunction with the temperature fan and air conditioning controls. ST The vehicle has a combined fresh air, or recirculating air system, designed to enable either system to be used separately, The air fed through the air distribution control can be either fresh air drawn from outside the vehicle or internally recirculated air.

The recirculating heater is normally used in heavy traflic conditions to avoid obnoxious fumes entering the vehicle, also for rapid heat build up inside the vehicle during cold conditions. The recirculating control is used with air conditioning to achieve maximum cooling.

It is also recommended that the recirculatihg control is used in dusty conditions to prevent dust entering the vehicle.

ST Set the controls as follows: 1. Temperature control to blue zone -Fully down cold. Recirculation control - Fully up recirculation.

Distribution control to mid position fascia. Fan control set between positions 1 to 4 as desired, to regulate the volume of airflow desired. Air conditioning control pushed in to illuminate the pushbutton legend, When the temperature inside the vehicle becomes comfortable, move the temperature control up slightly. Move the lan control to position 4. Move the temperature control down to the coldest position. Set the distribution control to mid position fascia. Recirculation control set to recirculation fully up.

After driving for several minutes, the hot air inside the vehicle will be expelled. Close the window, move the temperature control down slightly and adjust the fan speed as desired.

The unit is equipped with an automatic defrost system which normally will prevent this. However if the temperature control is maintained in its coldest position for extended periods, the defrost system will not operate and the unit will not function correctly. To remove the mist, move the temperature and fan controls to their low positions. If the interior temperature is too low, use the heater in conjunction with the air conditioning.

It is not necessary to use the system continuously, only when misting persists. NOTE: For maximum demist effectiveness, use the fresh air supply described earlier. Used in conjunction with the maximum heater setting, the air conditioning system will produce an air drying effect which will assist demisting.

Move both the fan and temperature controls to the desired setting. ST The fan control should be adjusted to regulate the volume of air required. ST To switch on the air conditioning, push in the right side of the switch. The waning light will be illuminated and remain on until the air conditioning is switched off. ST The temperature of air flowing from the footwell and windscreen may be regulated between cold blue and hot red by moving the control as required.

For effective air conditioning, this control should be maintained in the cold blue position. ST The air distribution is controlled by three push button switches. Any of the air distribution controls may be used in conjunction with the temperature fan and air conditioning controls. ST The vehicle has a combined lresh air, or recirculating air system, designed to enable either system to be used separately. The air fed through the air distribution control can be either fresh air drawn from outside the vehicle or internally recirculated air, The recirculating heater is normally used in heavy traffic conditions to avoid obnoxious fumes entering the vehicle, also for rapid heat build up inside the vehicle during cold conditions.

The recirculation control is also used with air conditioning to achieve maximum cooling. It is also recommended that the recirculating control is used in dusty conditions to prevent dust entering the vehicle. Push the switch to the left for recirculating air. Press the switch to the right for fresh air. ST Set the heater controls as follows: Temperature control 1 to blue zone -Fully left cold. Distribution control 2 -Push in buttons 'a' to 'c' as required.

Air conditioning control 5 - Push in right side of switch to switch air conditioning on and illuminate warning light. When the temperature inside the vehicle becomes comfortable, slide the temperature control to the right slightly. This will prevent the evaporator cooling coils from becoming too cold and freezing up. Move the fan control to position 3.

Move the temperature control to the left to the coldest position. Push in the distribution control, as required. Recirculation control set to recirculation - Push in left side of switch. Close the window, move the temperature control to the right slightly and adjust the fan speed as desired. DO NOT operate the air conditioning for long periods with the windows or sun roof option open, as the system would be working inelfectually at maximum output which could result in component damage.

However if the temperature control is maintained in its coldest position for extended periods, the detrost system will not operate and the unit will not lunction correctly.

Therefore, whenever possible, move the temperature control slightly up from extreme cold position. LR Fore and aft adjustment.

These should be fitted very carefully following the manufacturers' instructions. See furlhei. All seat belts must be fitted to the anchorage points provided at both the drivers and passenger's position to comply with the United Kingdom or other territorial legal requirements.

In your interests, always use the seat belt provided, even for the shortest journeys. Alterations and additions must NOT be made to any type of seat belt fitted to this vehicle.

Two types of seat belt are in use, inertia reel automatic for the driver and outer passenger s , lap type for all other passengers. The number and type of seat belts fitted is dependent on the specification of the vehicle. Always ensure that the belt is lying llat and is not twisted either on the wearer's body or between the wearer and the anchorage point. Never attempt to use a seat belt for more than one person, not even for small children. Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. A positive click indicates that the belt is safely locked. To release, press the release button which will automatically disengage the buckle; this allows the belt to retract.

Position the moveable clip as high as possible so that the tongue is accessible when the belt is next required. NOTE: If a vehicle is parked on unlevel ground, lhe seal belt mechanism may lock.

If the cold start control has been used to assist starting, unlock the control by turning it anti-clockwise and push it in to the mid-point ol its travel and relock. As the engine warms and runs smoothly, progressively return the control to the fully in position. If after a few attempts the engine fails to start, switch off and investigate the cause. CAUTloN: Continued use of the starter will not only discharge the battery but may damage the starter motor.

Depress the accelerator pedal to approximately half-way. Turn the ignition key to operate the starter, keeping the accelerator pedal in the half-way position. Release the ignition key and accelerator pedal immediately the engine starts.

Never start or leave the engine running in an enclosed unvenlilated area. If you think exhaust lumes are entering the vehicle have the cause determined and correcled as soon as possible. If you must drive under these conditions, drive only with all windows fully open. ST The following procedures must be used to ensure easy starting and avoid damage to turbo-charged models.

Before starting the engine for the first time each day, check that the engine oil and radiator coolant levels are correct, top up if necessary.

Turn the starter key to the heater plug position 11 when starting from cold. An amber warning light will glow when the engine starter key is turned to the 'heater plug' position, and will go off after a few seconds when the starting temperature is correct.

The RED charge and oil pressure warning lights will go out when the engine is running. CAUTION: The engine must not be run above fast idle until the oil pressure warning light goes off; this is to ensure that the engine bearings are receiving lubrication before being run at speed. This is very important on turbo-charged engines to ensure that the turbo-charger bearings are also receiving lubrication.

Do not operate the starter tor longer than 10 seconds; switch off and wait 10 seconds before re-using the starter. Turn the starter key to the engine start position. Release the key immediately the engine starts. Filling stations should automatically change to this fuel during winter.

Maintain the state of charge of the battery in a satisfactory condition. Follow the starting procedures stated. The use of paraffin kerosene as a diesel fuel additive, is illegal in the U,K.

Do not breathe exhaust gas because it contains noxious substances which by itself has no colour or odour. Never start or leave the engine running in an enclosed un'venlilated area. If you lhink exhaust lumes ale enle. If you musl diive undel these conditions, drive only with all windows lully open. Checking of any part of the electronic ignition system must be referred to your Land Rover Dealer or Distributor. Discharged battery 3. Faulty wiring 4. Faulty starter Clean and tighten the battery lead connections and try starting the engine.

Try push or tow starting the vehicle 3. The luel gauge could be faulty. Check that there is luel in the tank. If luel has leaked from the slackened nut, then fuel is reaching the engine. Retighten the fuel pipe nut and wipe away any fuel. Petrol engines-Ignition fault Diesel engines-Heater plug fault 3. Reconnect its lead and place it on the engine so that there is a metal-to-metal contact.

Operate the starter while someone else looks to see if the plug sparks. If a spark is seen, ignition fault is unlikely. Relit the plug and make sure that the leads are connected in the right order, as shown in this manual. If no spark is seen, refit the plug, as above, and make sure that all the leads are firmly connected to the distributor cap, and that the centre lead is firmly connected to the ignition coil.

Try starting the engine again. If the engine does not start, remove the distributor cap and wipe the inside to remove any damp or dirt. Four cylinder engines only: Check and adjust the contact breaker clearance, as described in this manual. Refit the distributor cap and try starting the engine again. If the engine does not start, seek expert help. Hold the starter key in the 'heater plug' position for at least twelve seconds, then try to start the engine. Do not warm-up the engine by running it at a slow speed with the vehicle stationary.

Any sudden increase in engine temperature must be investigated. Stop the engine and check the engine cooling system. Ensure there are no leaks, top up the radiator expansion tank if necessary. Make sure the lan belt is not broken and is correctly tensioned. An abrupt manoeuvre al an inappropriate speed or on an unsu-itable surface could cause lhc Land Rover lo go oul ol control. The most important point is not to hold the vehicle on large throttle opening for any sustained periods. No advantage will be gained by the use of higher octane luels.

The fuel filler cap is located: Side tank: at the front right-hand side of the body. Rear tank: at the rear right-hand side of the body. It is strongly recommended, that whenever it is available, unleaded petrol should be used to help protect the environment. It is permissible to mix unleaded and leaded petrol when refilling the petrol tank. In Europe all supplies should be within the limit, but in other areas operators should check with their suppliers.

Change the tuel ilter element and clean sediment bowl regularly. The brakes and steering will still function but more effort will be required by the driver. This will also apply if the vehicle is being towed without the engine running, and extra caution must be used.

Never fit chains to one wheel only, always fit snow chains in pairs to the rear axle only, and ensure the gearbox differential control is in the LOCKED position. Remove the snow chains immediately the road is clear of snow. Tdi ENGINES lf a radiator blind is fitted, it must not obscure the intercooler section, otherwise engine performance would be adversely affected. If in doubt, contact a Land Rover Dealer. Driving in general or OFF. ROAD do not take risks. Drive caref ully. Do not use the handbrake while the vehicle is moving.

Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while travelling as this may overheat the brakes, reduce their efficiency and cause excessive wear. Do not overload the vehicle for sustained cross country work. See 'Vehicle weights' Section 6. Do not wrap your thumbs round the steering wheel as any steering kick-back over rough ground may result in personal injury. Do not coast with the engine switched off as the brake servo and steering assistance will not operate.

The brakes will stin function but more foot pressure will be required. This will affect braking elf icjency until the surfaces are dried by inle. When parking, do not rely on the handbrake alone to hold the vehicle i[ the brake linings have been subjecled lo immersion in mud and wale. See 'After wading' details later in this scclion. Do not use a gear which is too high for the vehicle speed and travel conditions involved; it is preferable to select a lower gear and use more revolutions rather than allow the engine to labour at low speed.

Do not use the clutch pedal as a loot rest. Keep the left toot well clear of the clutch pedal while the vehicle is in motion. D0 NOT drive with your hand resting on the main gear level, it may damage the gearbox. Ensure pressure is only applied whilst changing gear.

Land Rovers can I:ow loads over various types of terrain. The torque ranges of Land Rover engines allow maximum-weight loads to be driven smoothly from standstill, and reduces gear changing on hills, or rough terrain. A smooth start will be achieved with trailers over kg Ib by moving off in low range then changing to high range while on the move. The suspension is designed to cope with a heavy trailer load without upsetting the balance or feel of the vehicle.

Details of gross maximum trailer weights are listed on the following page. When preparing the vehicle and trailer combination, careful attention must be paid to the trailer manufacturer's recommendations.

An outline of the correct procedure is given here: a b c d e Vehicle tyre pressures must always be set at normal pressures, NOT the 'reduced for comfort' option, irrespective of the load being carried.
