SERVICE INTERVAL INDICATOR
When the starter switch is turned to position ‘I’, 
a ‘countdown’ to when the next service is due 
appears in the total distance travelled display 
(arrowed in inset). A minus sign preceding the 
distance indicates that the service interval point 
has been exceeded and this is the distance by 
which it is overdue.
After approximately five seconds, the display 
reverts to show just the total distance travelled.
The mileage countdown is controlled by the 
engine management system and is adjusted to 
allow for driving style and conditions, to gauge 
when the appropriate service becomes 
necessary.
NOTE: After the completion of each service, the 
dealer will reset the distance display to 
commence the countdown to the next service.
GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY
This shows the current gear lever position (‘P’, 
‘R’, ‘N’ or ‘D’) and indicates when low range has 
been selected. In addition, the display indicates 
which gear has been selected when the gearbox 
is in manual mode (‘5’, ‘4’, ‘3’, ‘2’ or ‘1’).
The LOW range indicator (in the top right 
corner of the display) flashes whilst the transfer 
gearbox changes ranges and then illuminates 
constantly when low range has engaged. The 
range change will also be confirmed in the main 
message center.

Service engine soon - AMBER
The engine management system 
on your Range Rover is controlled 
by a sophisticated engine control 
module which maintains optimum control of 
engine running and emission levels and 
monitors the operation of the sub-systems and 
components.
The ‘Service Engine Soon’ indicator illuminates 
as a system check when the starter switch is 
turned to position ‘ll’ and should extinguish 
when the engine is started.
If an engine operation or emissions problem is 
registered by the engine control module when 
the vehicle is being operated, the ‘Service 
Engine Soon’ indicator will illuminate.
If ‘Service Engine Soon’ illuminates, and the 
vehicle drives normally:
Contact your Land Rover retailer to schedule a 
service appointment at your earliest 
convenience - YOU MAY STILL DRIVE THE 
VEHICLE.
If ‘Service Engine Soon’ flashes, and/or the 
vehicle does not drive normally:
Avoid high speeds and seek immediate 
assistance from your Land Rover retailer.
Parking brake system - RED
The light illuminates for about 3 
seconds as a bulb check when the    
starter switch is turned on. It also 
illuminates when the parking brake is applied 
with the starter switch in position ‘II’.
The light should extinguish when the parking 
brake is fully released. If the light illuminates 
whilst driving, a fault with the parking brake 
system is indicated, seek qualified assistance 
before continuing.Brake system - RED
This light shares its position and 
symbol with the emergency brake 
assist warning light and illuminates 
briefly as a bulb check when the starter switch 
is turned on (the light follows a 
amber-red-amber sequence).
The light should extinguish shortly after the 
starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If the 
light does not extinguish, or illuminates whilst 
driving, a fault with the brake systems is 
indicated. Stop the vehicle gently, as soon as 
safety permits and seek qualified assistance 
before continuing.
The light may be accompanied by the message 
‘CHECK BRAKE PADS’ or ‘CHECK BRAKE 
FLUID’. If the message ‘CHECK BRAKE FLUID’ 
is displayed, check the brake fluid level and 
top-up if necessary. If the light remains 
illuminated after the fluid is at the correct level, 
seek qualified assistance before continuing.
Emergency brake assist - AMBER
This light shares its position and 
symbol with the brake system 
warning light and illuminates 
briefly as a bulb check when the starter switch 
is turned to position ‘II’ (the light follows a 
amber-red-amber sequence).
If the light remains amber after starting, or 
illuminates whilst driving, a fault with the EBA 
system is indicated. Drive with care, avoiding 
heavy brake application, and seek qualified 
assistance urgently.

with the ABS system is indicated. Drive with 
care, avoiding heavy brake application, and 
seek qualified assistance urgently.
Airbag SRS - RED 
The light illuminates when the 
starter switch is turned to position

operating.
Seat belt - RED
The light illuminates when the 
starter switch is turned to position

approximately 6 seconds, even if the drivers 
seat belt remains unfastened. Always fasten 
your seat belt before driving.Dynamic stability control (DSC) - AMBER
Illuminates briefly as a bulb check 
when the starter switch is turned 
to position ‘II’. The light also 
illuminates when the DSC switch is pressed, 
indicating that DSC has been switched off (but 
traction control is still active).
The light will flash when the system becomes 
active and will remain flashing until the system 
is no longer needed.
If the light illuminates constantly, and does not 
extinguish when the DSC switch is pressed, a 
fault has been detected in the system. If there is 
a fault, DSC will be inactive - drive with care and 
seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.
Hill descent control (HDC) ‘information’ - 
GREEN
Illuminates briefly as a bulb and 
system check when the starter 
switch is turned to position II and 
also illuminates when HDC is selected.
If HDC is selected and the vehicle is within the 
operating speed range of up to 21 mph 
(35 km/h), the light will illuminate continuously.
If HDC is selected and the vehicle is driven 
faster than the operating speed range, the light 
will flash and the message ‘NO HDC - SLOW 
DOWN’ is displayed.
The light will also flash during HDC fade-out 
(see ‘HDC fade-out’, page 161 for further 
information).
If a fault with the HDC system occurs, HDC will 
fade-out and then deselect, or immediately 
deselect (depending on the type of fault and 
whether or not HDC is in operation). The green 
light will extinguish and the message ‘HDC

If the hazard switch is pressed, both warning 
lights will flash in conjunction with the direction 
indicator lights. 
						

							Audible Warnings

soon as the lights are switched off or when the 
drivers door is closed.
Electronic air suspension warnings
Automatic height changes are inhibited while in 
‘crawl mode’ provided that the vehicle does not 
exceed 25 mph. If vehicle speed exceeds 
20 mph, a warning chime will sound.
For further information, please refer to ‘Crawl 
mode’, page 165.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) warning

the seat belt is fastened (whichever occurs 
first).
External temperature warning
If the external temperature drops to 37ºF (3ºC) 
or less, a warning chime sounds, accompanied 
by a warning in the message center. Take 
appropriate measures to defrost the vehicle and 
be aware that there may be ice on the roads.
