DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filt er (DPF) forms part of
the emissions reduction system fitted to Land
Rover vehicles. The DPF will remove a high
proportion of the harmful carbon microspheres
(soot) before they leave the exhaust. It
achieves this by filter ing out the particles,
which are then stored until they are burnt away
and the filter is emptied.
Regeneration
Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic
replacement, the DPF has been designed to
regenerate, or clean itse lf to maintain operating
efficiency. The regene ration process takes
place automatically in most cases. However,
some unfavourable driving conditions mean
that the regeneration proc ess must be initiated
deliberately by the driver.
1

E81334
CAUTION
The regeneration procedure produces
high temperatures in the DPF. Heat can
be felt radiating from beneath the
vehicle, which is normal and not a cause for
concern. However, the vehicle should not be
parked over combustible material, particularly
during dry weather. The heat generated could
be sufficient to start a fire when in close
proximity to combustibl e material such as
long dry grass, paper etc.

Regeneration procedure
If DPF FULL along with the handbook symbol
appears in the message centre, carry out the
following procedure.
Note: At all times during this procedure you
should observe all releva nt speed limits, laws,
and regulations. Always ta ke account of traffic
and weather conditions , and drive with
consideration for other road users.
1. Drive the vehicle until the engine reaches
normal operating temper ature. The engine
should not be left idli ng to achieve working
temperature.
2. Drive the vehicle for a further twenty
minutes, keeping the road speed above 48
km/h (30 mph).
3. If regeneration is su ccessful the warning
light, or message, will extinguish. If they
do not repeat the process.
Note: If the warning indicator or message fails
to extinguish after following the regeneration
process three times, contact your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for assistance.
Warning indicators and messages
If regeneration ca nnot be achieved
automatically by the system, due to short
journeys for example, th e driver will be notified

emissions, and costly repairs.

Transmission

L
TransmissionMANUAL TRANSMISSION
The gear lever is spring loaded, and when in
neutral sits between third and forth gear
positions. Extra pressure will be required to
move across to reverse.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAUTION
Selection of reverse gear is prevented
when the vehicle is travelling in excess
of 24 km/h (15 mph). Never attempt to
engage reverse gear whilst the vehicle is in
forward motion. This may result in serious
transmission damage and costly repairs.
E81735
WARNING
Park (P) should be engaged when the
vehicle is stationary. The vehicle can
move unexpectedly with any other
gear position selected, which may result in
death or serious injuries to people or animals
outside of the vehicle.
CAUTIONS
Never select the Park (P) position whilst
the vehicle is in motion. Doing so may
cause serious damage to the
transmission.
Never select the Reverse (R) position
whilst the vehicle is in forward motion.
Doing so may cause serious damage to
the transmission.
Never select a forward gear whilst the
vehicle is in rearwa rd motion. Doing so
may cause serious damage to the
transmission.
Do not rev the engine or allow it to run
above normal idle sp eed while selecting
D or R, or while the vehicle is stationary
with any gear selected.
Do not allow the vehicle to remain
stationary for any length of time with a
gear selected and the engine running.
Always select P or N if the engine is to idle for
a prolonged period.

119
Transmission
R
Automatic mode
To select Drive (D) when the vehicle is
stationary :-
1. Apply the footbrake.
2. Press the gear selector release button.
3. Move the gear selector to Drive (D).
When in D the transmissi on will automatically
select the most appropriate gear for the current
driving conditions. Note:
If pressure is applied to the selector lever
before the foot brake is applied, any gear
selected may not be available irrespective of
the lever position. In th is situation, remove
pressure from the selector lever, ensure that
the footbrake is applied and select the required
gear.
Note: When a gear is selected the vehicle may
begin to move as soon as the foot brake is
released.
Kick-down
When D is selected, and the accelerator pedal
is depressed fully the transmission will
downshift to the lowest appropriate gear. Once
the accelerator pedal is returned to a normal
driving position the transm ission will upshift to
the highest appropriate gear.
Note: Kick-down operation will vary according
to road speed, current gear in use and
accelerator movement.

Sport mode and CommandShift™
1. To select sport mode, move the selector
lever from D to SPORT .
2. To use CommandShift, move the selector
lever forward to move up a gear, and back
to move down a gear.
Sport mode
When sport mode is selected ( 1) SPORT will be
displayed in the message centre, and the
selector indicator will illuminate. To return to automatic m
ode move the selector
lever back to the Drive (D) position. The D on
the selector display will illuminate to confirm
that automatic mode has been selected.
CommandShift™
When using CommandShift th e selected gear is
displayed in the message centre ( 3).
Moving away from a stand still can be achieved
using either first or second gear. This may
prove useful for certai n terrain, using second
gear for pulling away on snow for example.
Note: In order to protect the engine, the
transmission will automatically change up to
prevent over-revving, or down if the engine is
labouring.
Note: When in CommandShift, if the vehicle
comes to a complete stop the transmission will
remain in second gear. First gear can be
selected manually if required.
Electronic gear change strategies
In automatic, or sport modes (not available in
CommandShift) the gear change points will be
adapted to suit driving conditions.
Hill ascent, towing, and high altitude
The lower gears are selected, and maintained
for longer than usual. This helps overcome the
loss of momentum when towing, or ascending
hills. It also helps over come the loss of engine
torque when the vehicle is operating at high
altitudes.
Hill descent
With HDC selected in either automatic, or sport
modes, a low gear will be selected and
maintained to provide maximum engine
braking.
