SRS/Airbag 38 Disposing of vehicles If you sell your vehicle, be sure to inform the new owner that the vehicle has an SRS/airbag system, and make the new owner aware of the airbag module replacement date shown in the Passport to Service. If the vehicle is to be scrapped; uninflated airbags are potentially very dangerous and must be safely deployed in a controlled environment before a vehicle is scrapped. See your Land Rover Dealer or Centre for advice on safe deployment of SRS/airbags. WARNING The components that make up the SRS/airbag are sensitive to electrical or physical interference, either of which could easily damage the system and cause inadvertent operation or a malfunction of the airbag module. For your safety it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a Land Rover dealer to carry out any of the following: ·Removal or repair of any wiring or component in the vicinity of any of the SRS/airbag components (yellow wiring harness), including; the steering wheel, steering column, instrument and fascia panels. ·Installation of electronic equipment such as a mobile telephone, two-way radio or audio system. ·Modification to the front of the vehicle, including the bumper and chassis. ·Attachment of accessories to the front of the vehicle, such as a winch or brush bar.

Instruments 41 53 00 miles 2 3 H2645 45 6 1 H2643 Instrument illumination Rotate the control to increase or reduce the intensity of instrument panel illumination.1. Temperature gauge Once the engine coolant has reached its normal operating temperature, the pointer will rise to a position within the WHITE segment of the gauge (the precise position will vary according to climatic conditions). 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 and the RED warning light within the gauge illuminates, severe engine damage could occur (under these circumstances, the air conditioning may switch off and engine performance may reduce in order to minimise engine load). 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.
Instruments 42 2. Tachometer Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (x 1000). In normal driving conditions the engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 and 3000 rev/min. The vehicle is equipped with a system which automatically restricts the number of engine revolutions per minute once the engines maximum governed speed has been reached. 3. Speedometer Indicates road speed in miles and kilometres per hour. 4. Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder With the starter switch turned to position II, the display indicates the total distance travelled by the vehicle, and also shows the most recent individual journey distance. The display can be set to show either miles or kilometres. To convert from one to another, press and hold the trip recorder reset button for more than two seconds. NOTE:The display also indicates which gearbox selector position is selected. 5. Trip recorder reset button Press briefly to return the trip recorder display to zero.6. Fuel gauge The pointer drops to zero when the starter switch is turned off, but quickly rises to show the level of fuel in the tank when the switch is turned to position II. After refuelling, the gauge rapidly rises to reflect the increase of fuel in the tank. When the fuel remaining in the tank is approximately 3.75 gallons (14 litres), the AMBER low fuel warning light in the fuel gauge illuminates. If the light illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity. WARNING NEVER allow the vehicle to run out of fuel (the resultant misfire may destroy the catalytic converter).
Warning lights 43 H2646 53 00 WARNING RED warning lights are of particular importance, their iIllumination indicates that a fault exists. If a RED warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle and review the specific instructions given in this section. SERVICE ENGINE SOONService engine soon- AMBER The engine management system on your Land 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 II 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. NOTE:An incorrectly fitted fuel filler cap maycause the Service engine soon light to illuminate. If Service engine soon illuminates, and the vehicle drives normally: Contact your Land Rover dealer 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 dealer. Airbag SRS- RED The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position II and extinguishes after about 4 seconds. If the light illuminates at any other time, the system is faulty - seek qualified assistance urgently.
Warning lights 44 BRAKE Parking brake, 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 parking brake is applied with the starter switch in position II. The light should extinguish when the parking brake 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. WARNING Do not drive the vehicle while the brake warning light is illuminated. 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. WARNING Do not drive the vehicle while the low oil pressure light is illuminated. 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). Anti-lock braking system- AMBER The light illuminates as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned to position II. If the light illuminates whilst driving or remains illuminated after the starter switch is turned on, a fault has occurred. This means that full ABS control may not be available and you should seek qualified assistance urgently. NOTE:Faults which cause the ABS light to illuminate after the initial system checks, or whilst driving, will be accompanied by a warning chime sounding 3 times. WARNING Drive with extreme caution if the warning light is illuminated - ABS may not be working!
Warning lights 45 Headlight main beam- BLUE Illuminates when the headlights are switched to main beam. 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. 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 direction indicator bulb failure on the trailer, the warning light remains off. Differential lock- RED Illuminates whenever the differential is locked. While carrying out maintenance operations on your vehicle, it may be necessary for the dealer to lock the differential between the front and rear axles. This will cause the warning light to illuminate. The dealer should always unlock the differential before returning the vehicle to the owner. However, if the light illuminates when the starter switch is turned on, this indicates that this has not been done. The vehicle should not be driven in this condition because ABS performance will be impaired and Traction Control will be disabled. Contact your dealer immediately and ask for the differential to be unlocked. 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.
