Child Restraints 30 Child Restraint sCHILD SAFETY SEATS Seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for adults and larger children. For their safety, it is very important that all infants and young children are restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size (see table below). Child safety seats approved for use in your vehicle are available from Land Rover dealers. Only fit a child safety seat of a type approved for the specific seating positions in your vehicle (see table), and ensure the seat manufacturer’s f it ting in str u ctio ns a re f ollo w ed ex ac tly. NOTE: Accident statistics show that children are safer when properly secured in the rear seating positions than in the front. However, if a child seat suitable for the size of the child is available and it is necessary for the child to travel in the front, set the seat fully rearwards and only use an approved child seat. Defender 90 & 110 Station Wagons only NOTE: The side facing folding or fixed bench seats fitted in the load carrying area of some vehicles, are not suitable for fitting child safety seats.

Door Mirrors 31 Doo r M irrorsEXTERIOR MIRRORS NOTE: Objects viewed in exterior mirrors may appear further away than they actually are. Manually adjustable mirrors Move the mirror glass to the required position. Folding the mirror body The door mirrors are designed to fold forwards or rearwards on impact. They can also be folded back towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the vehicle to negotiate narrower openings.Positioning the mirror for towing To improve rear visibility when towing, the mirrors can be folded outwards (see illustration), so that the mirror stem is at 90º to the side of the vehicle, increasing the field of vision.

Press and hold the button to reset the trip recorder to zero. 5. Fuel gauge The pointer indicates the fuel level when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. NOTE: When the fuel remaining drops to a minimum of 2 gallons (9 litres), the low fuel warning light will illuminate (see ‘WARNING LIGHTS’, page 33).6. Temperature gauge Once the engine coolant has reached its normal operating temperature, the pointer should remain between the BLUE and RED segments. If the pointer moves towards the RED segment, this indicates that the engine coolant is becoming too hot. Should the pointer move INTO the RED segment, severe engine damage could occur. In this case, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and allow the engine to idle for five minutes in order to cool down - DO NOT SWITCH OFF. Seek qualified assistance before continuing. 7. Clock For further information on setting the time on the clock, see ‘CLOCK’, page 51. 8.

Warning Lights 33 Wa rning Light sWARNING LIGHTS The location and specification of the warning lights may vary according to model and market requirements. WARNING DO NOT drive if a RED warning light remains on once the engine is running or illuminates whilst driving. Check engine - AMBER * The light illuminates as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned on, and extinguishes as soon as the engine is started. Illumination at any other time indicates an engine fault - if the light illuminates while driving, avoid high speeds and seek qualified assistance urgently. Glow plug - AMBER Illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. Wait for the light to extinguish before starting the engine.Low oil pressure - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes when the engine is started. If the light remains on, flashes on and off, or illuminates whilst driving, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. Seek qualified assistance before driving. Always check the oil level when this light illuminates. Direction indicators - GREEN The left or right warning light flashes in time with the corresponding left or right direction indicator lights whenever they are operated. If the warning light fails to flash, or flashes very rapidly, this may indicate a bulb failure in one of the direction indicator lights. If the hazard switch is pressed, both warning lights will flash in conjunction with the direction indicator lights. Battery charging - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes once the engine is running. If it remains on, or illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated. Seek qualified assistance urgently. km/h120 ABSTC H3723
Warning Lights 34 Headlight main beam - BLUE Illuminates when the headlights are switched to main beam. Low fuel - AMBER Illuminates when the fuel remaining in the tank drops to a minimum of 2 gallons (9 litres). If the light illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity. Handbrake, brake fluid - RED The light illuminates for about 3 seconds as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned on. It also illuminates when the handbrake is applied with the starter switch in position ‘II’. The light should extinguish when the handbrake is fully released or shortly after the electrical circuits are switched on. If the light illuminates whilst driving, a fault with the braking system is indicated. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing. Anti-lock braking system - AMBER * Illuminates for approximately 1 second as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’, and briefly extinguishes before coming on again. If the light does not extinguish and then come on again, then a fault occurred with the ABS system and you should consult a qualified dealer at the earliest opportunity. The warning light will remain on until the vehicle is driven above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h). If the light remains on or subsequently illuminates while driving, a fault has been detected by the self monitoring system. This means that full ABS control may not be available and you should consult your dealer at the earliest opportunity.Traction Control - AMBER * Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after approximately 3 seconds. The light illuminates for a minimum of 2 seconds, whenever traction control is operating. If the warning light flashes (for at least 10 seconds) traction control has been operating for too long and has temporarily shut down to allow the system to cool - this will only occur in extreme conditions. If the light illuminates continuously, a fault with the system is indicated; seek qualified assistance. Rear fog guard lights - AMBER Illuminates whenever the rear fog guard lights are on. NOTE: In clear conditions, rear fog guard lights can dazzle other road users. Use ONLY when visibility is severely restricted. Engine immobilisation - RED Flashes during any attempt to start the engine when the engine is immobilised. Heated rear screen - AMBER Illuminates when the rear screen heater is operating. Differential lock - RED Illuminates whenever the differential is locked. If the light remains on after the differential lock is disengaged, transmission ‘wind-up’ may be present. Reversing for a short distance and then going forward will usually ‘unwind’ the transmission. If the light remains on, contact your dealer as soon as possible.
Warning Lights 35 Hazard warning lights - RED Illuminates in conjunction with the direction indicator warning lights, when the hazard warning lights are operated. Trailer direction indicators - GREEN The light illuminates briefly as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If a trailer is attached, the light illuminates in conjunction with the vehicle direction indicator lights to show that all trailer indicator lights are functioning correctly. In the event of a bulb failure on the trailer, the warning light flashes once and then remains off. Sidelights - GREEN Illuminates whenever the sidelights are on. Transmission oil temperature - RED * Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after 3 seconds approx. If the light illuminates while driving, the gearbox oil temperature is too high (most likely to occur in very hot weather during continuous high speed driving, or whilst towing heavy loads on steep inclines or if the handbrake has been applied while driving). If the light illuminates, reduce speed. If the light remains on, stop the vehicle and allow the gearbox to cool. Do not drive until the light has extinguished. (Depending on the ambient temperature and the carrying loads imposed on the vehicle, it may take several minutes before the light extinguishes and it is safe to drive).Fuel filter - AMBER * Illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after 3 seconds approximately. If the light illuminates while driving, this indicates the presence of excessive amounts of water in the fuel. You may continue driving but should seek qualified assistance at the earliest convenient time.

Lights & Indicators 37 Headlight levelling* The angle of the headlight beams is affected by the distribution of weight inside the vehicle. The headlights should be adjusted so that the point at which the beams meet the road surface ahead of the vehicle provides adequate illumination without dazzling other road users. The four-position switch should be used to adjust the headlight beams in relation to the vehicle loadings identified opposite.Vehicles fitted with front seats only Positions ‘1’ and ‘2’ should only be used when required, according to the distribution and weight of the load being carried. H3669 PositionLoading Condition 0Driver, or driver and front passenger only (loadspace empty). 1All seats occupied (loadspace empty) 2All seats occupied with loadspace loaded to max. permissible rear axle weight. 3Driver only with loadspace loaded to max. permissible rear axle weight.
Lights & Indicators 38 FOG LIGHTS 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 headlights are also switched on, and the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. Switching off the headlights, or turning the starter switch to position ‘0’, will automatically extinguish the rear fog guard lights too (the fog guard lights will not illuminate again unless selected manually).
