    							Sunroof
    38
    SUNROOF(if fitted)
    The sunroof can be opened to varying degrees
    or, if required, can be removed completely.
    To OPEN the roof:
    Turn the hand wheel anti-clockwise to give the
    desired opening.
    To CLOSE the roof:
    Turn the hand wheel clockwise until resistance
    is felt.
    To REMOVE the roof:
    Open the sunroof fully and push the catch (1)
    rearwards to disengage the hand wheel
    mechanism.
    Remove the sunroof by tilting upwards and
    lifting rearwards to disengage the locating
    lugs.
    WARNING
    DO NOT store the sunroof loose in the
    vehicle.
    DO NOT allow passengers to extend any part
    of their bodies through the sunroof while the
    vehicle is moving.
    DO NOT remove the sunroof whilst the
    vehicle is moving.
    Refit the sunroof by following the same
    procedure in reverse. 
    						
    							Heating & ventilation
    39
    Fresh air vents
    To open the two vents in the windscreen
    frame, push the lever to the right and then
    downwards to the desired position and
    release.
    The temperature of air supplied to the fresh air
    vents is not controlled by the heater.
    NOTE:For vehicles fitted with an air conditioning system, the location and operation of air vents is
    described on a later page (see Air conditioning).

    HEATER CONTROLS
    NOTE:For vehicles fitted with an air
    conditioning system, the heater controls are
    described on a later page (see Air
    conditioning).
    1. Temperature control
    Move the lever downwards (towards the
    RED segment) to increase air temperature,
    or upwards (towards the BLUE segment)
    to reduce air temperature.
    2. Air distribution control
    ·Lever fully up - windscreen vents only.
    ·Lever midway - foot level and windscreen
    vents.
    ·Lever fully down - foot level vents (also
    provides some air to the windscreen).3. Fan speed control
    ·Lever at position 0 - no air will enter the
    vehicle through the blower vents.
    ·Lever between positions 0 and1 -
    progressively more air will enter the
    vehicle, depending solely on the ram effect
    of the vehicle moving through the air.
    ·Lever between positions 1 and 2 - the
    fan will operate and progressively increase
    in speed. 
    						
    							Heating & ventilation
    41 USING YOUR HEATER
    Ensure the front grille and the air intake grille
    on the front wing are kept clear of
    obstructions (especially snow and ice).
    The following examples of basic heater
    settings are intended as a general guide; the
    air distribution, temperature and blower
    controls can then be further adjusted to suit
    your comfort requirements.
    Always remember that full heating is not
    available until the engine has reached its
    normal operating temperature.
    Maximum heating
    ·Temperature control - fully down.
    ·Distribution control - midway.
    ·Fan speed control - fully down.
    ·Fresh air vents - fully closed.Demisting and defrosting
    ·Temperature control - fully down.
    ·Distribution control - fully up.
    ·Fan speed control - fully down.
    ·Fresh air vents - fully open for demisting
    (closed for defrosting).
    ·Opening a window may improve
    ventilation.
    Maximum ventilation
    ·Temperature control - fully up.
    ·Distribution control - fully down.
    ·Fan speed control - fully down.
    ·Fresh air vents - fully open. 
    						
    							Air conditioning
    42
    CONTROLS
    1. On/off blower control
    Rotate clockwise to the first position to turn
    on the air conditioning. Rotate further
    (positions II and III) to increase the flow of
    conditioned air from the four vents in the
    lower fascia.
    NOTE:The air conditioning will only operate
    with the engine running.
    2. Temperature control
    Rotate clockwise (positions I to III) to obtain
    progressively cooler air.
    Air vents
    The four air conditioning vents located in the
    lower fascia can be adjusted to suit your
    requirements. The adjuster in the centre of
    each vent can be used to adjust volume and
    direction of air. To cut off the supply of air
    from any particular vent, slide the adjuster
    fully to the left.
    USING THE AIR CONDITIONING(if fitted)
    If your vehicle has been fitted with an air
    conditioning system, you may find the
    following guidelines useful.
    Air conditioning provides additional cooling to
    the vehicle interior and also reduces the
    moisture content of the air.
    It is important to keep the windows, sunroof
    and fresh air vents closed during operation.Points to remember:
    ·If the temperature inside the vehicle is
    higher than that outside when you start
    the engine, it will take time for the air
    conditioning to become fully effective. It is
    best to ventilate the vehicle by opening the
    windows and setting the controls to
    Maximum cooling (see next page). When
    the vehicle has been ventilated, close the
    windows and set the blower controls for
    personal comfort.
    ·Operating the air conditioning takes power
    from the engine and consequently
    increases fuel consumption.
    ·All air conditioning systems need to be
    operated for a short while every week
    (even in winter) to maintain them in peak
    condition.
    ·The air conditioning system will also
    dehumidify air. The surplus water
    produced by this process is expelled from
    the system via drain tubes beneath the
    vehicle. This may result in a small pool of
    water forming on the road when the
    vehicle is stationary and is not a cause for
    concern. 
    						
    							Air conditioning
    43 The following examples of air conditioning
    settings are included for your guidance:
    NOTE:If air conditioning is to be used,
    ensure that the fresh air vents are closed and
    that the heater unit controls are set to;
    Temperature control - fully up.
    Fan speed control - position 0.
    Distribution control - fully up.
    Normal cooling
    Temperature control - set to positions I or II.
    Blower control - set to desired speed.
    Maximum cooling
    Temperature control - set to position III.
    Blower control - set to position III 
    						
    							Interior equipment
    44
    INTERIOR LIGHTS
    With the switch midway between the ON and
    OFF positions, the light will illuminate
    automatically whenever a door is opened and
    remain illuminated for approximately 15
    seconds after ALL the doors are closed, or
    until the starter switch is turned on.
    When alighting from the vehicle, the interior
    lights will fade and then extinguish as soon as
    the last door is closed.
    NOTE:Any subsequent opening and shutting
    of doors prior to the starter switch being
    turned on again, will cause the 15 second
    delay feature to operate.
    NOTE:If a door remains open for eight
    minutes, a time-out function will extinguish
    the lights to avoid discharging the battery.
    CIGAR LIGHTER
    With the starter switch turned to position II,
    press the lighter in to heat up. When it has
    reached the correct temperature it will partially
    eject and can then be withdrawn for use.
    ·ONLY hold the cigar lighter by the handle.
    ·DO NOT use the ashtray for disposing of
    waste paper or other combustible
    materials.
    ·DO NOT plug accessories into the cigar
    lighter socket unless they are approved by
    Land Rover.
    ASHTRAY
    Lift the lid of the ashtray to open. To remove,
    carefully prise the ashtray out of the fascia
    panel.
