R
Topping up the oil
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
2. Add oil to maintain the level between the
MIN and MAX marks or notches on the
dipstick. Clean up any oil spilled during
topping-up.
3. Check the oil level again after 5 minutes.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from MIN to MAX on the
dipstick is 0.8 litres (1.4 pints) - petrol models
or 1.5 litres (2.6 pi nts) - diesel models.
Engine oil specification
Land Rover recommends Castrol oils.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the coolant
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, an amber
warning indicator in the instrument pack will
illuminate. Stop the vehicle and check the
coolant level.
On vehicles with a message centre, the
message LOW COOLANT LEVEL or COOLING
SYSTEM FAULT MONITOR GAUGE will be
displayed in place of the warning indicator.
Checking the coolant level
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least week ly (more frequently in
high mileage or arduous operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks located on the side of
the expansion tank.
CAUTIONS
Your vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if damage is caused by using oil that
does not meet the required specification.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of sludge
and deposits, and increase pollution. It could
also lead to engine failure.
Overfilling with oil could result in severe
engine damage. Oil should be added in
small quantities and the level re-checked to
ensure that the engine is not overfilled.
Model Specification
Petrol engine Use only 0W-30 engine oil, meeting ACEA A5 or
B5 specification.
Diesel engine Use only 5W-30 oil meeting Ford 913-B
specification.
CAUTION
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.

L
If the level has fallen appreciably, suspect
leakage or overheatin g and arrange for the
vehicle to be exam ined by a qualified
technician.
Topping up the coolant
Top-up to the upper le vel indicator mark
located on the side of the expansion tank. Use
only a 50% mix of water and Texaco XLC
antifreeze.
Note: In an emergency - and only if the
approved antifreeze is unavailable - top-up the
cooling system with clea n water, but be aware
of the resultant reduction in frost protection.
Do not top-up or refill with conventional
antifreeze formulations. If in doubt consult a
qualified technician.
Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is
completed by turning the cap until the ratchet
cap clicks. Antifreeze
Antifreeze contains important corrosion
inhibitors. The antifreeze content of the coolant
must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round
(not just in cold conditions). To ensure that the
anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are
retained, the antifreeze content should be
checked once a year and completely renewed
every ten years, regardless of distance
travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion
of the radiator and engine components.
The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze
solution at 20°C (68°F) is 1.068 and protects
against frost down to -40°C (-40°F).
WARNINGS
Never remove the filler cap when the
engine is hot - escaping steam or
scalding water could ca use serious personal
injury.
Avoid spilling antifreeze onto a hot
engine - a fire may result.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing
the pressure to escape before removing
completely.
CAUTION
When travelling in territories where the
water supply contains salt, always
ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain or
distilled) water. Topping up with salt water will
cause serious engine damage.
WARNINGS
Antifreeze is poisonous and can be fatal
if swallowed - keep containers sealed
and out of the reach of children. If accidental
consumption is suspec ted, seek medical
attention immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
CAUTIONS
The use of non-approved antifreeze will
have an adverse ef fect on the engine
cooling system and therefore engine
durability.
Antifreeze will damage painted surfaces;
soak up any spillage with an absorbent
cloth immediately and wash the area with a
mixture of car shampoo and water.

BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the
brake/clutch rese rvoir drops below
the recommended level, a red
warning indicator in the instrument pack will
illuminate or the message CHECK BRAKE
FLUID will be displayed in the message centre.
Note: If the warning indicator illuminates, or
the message is displayed while the vehicle is
being driven, stop the vehi cle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes.
Check and top-up the flui d level if necessary.
Checking the fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
1. Release the two catches and lift the rear of
the cover.
2. Slide the cover forward and lift it off
completely.
1. Release the catch.
2. Remove the cover.
WARNINGS
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed a nd out of the reach
of children. If accident al consumption of fluid
is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Take care not to spill the fluid onto a hot
engine - a fire may result.
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.WARNING
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
brake pedal travel is unusually long or if
there is any significant loss of brake fluid.
Driving under such condi tions could result in
extended stopping distances or complete
brake failure.

3. Clean the filler cap before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
4. Remove the filler cap.
5. The brake fluid level should be between the
MIN and the MAX marks.
The fluid level may drop slightly during normal
use as a result of brake pad wear but should
not be allowed to drop below the MIN mark.
Topping up the fluid
1.Top-up the reservoir to the MAX mark
using Shell DOT4 ESL brake fluid. If Shell
DOT4 ESL is not availa ble, a low viscosity
DOT4 brake fluid that meets ISO 4925
class 6 and Land Rover LRES22BF03
requirements ma y be used. 2.
Replace the cap.
3. Fit the reservoir cover in the reverse order
of removal.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Checking the fluid level
Check and top-up the fluid with the vehicle on
level ground, engine switched off, and the
system cold. Ensure that the steering wheel is
not turned after stopping the engine.
CAUTIONS
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces.
Soak up any spillage with an absorbent
cloth immediately and wash the area with a
mixture of car sh ampoo and water.
Only use new fluid from an airtight
container (fluid from opened containers
or fluid previously bled from the system will
have absorbed moisture, which will adversely
affect performance, and must not be used).
E84162
WARNINGS
Power steering fluid is highly toxic.
Keep containers sealed and out of reach
of children. If accidental consumption of fluid
is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
CAUTIONS
The engine must not be started if the fluid
level has dropped below the MIN mark.
Severe damage to th e steering pump could
result.
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
there is a noticeable drop in the fluid
level. Severe damage to the steering pump
could result.
If fluid loss is slow, the reservoir may be
topped-up to the uppe r level mark to
enable the vehicle to be driven to a repair
facility for examinatio n. However, it is
recommended that you seek qualified
assistance before driving the vehicle.

12. During the inflation, switch the
compressor off briefly to check the tyre
pressure using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
• It should not take longer than seven
minutes to inflate the tyre. If after seven
minutes the tyre ha s not reached the
minimum pressure, the tyre should not
be used.
13. Once the tyre has been inflated switch off
the compressor. If desired the engine may
be turned off after the compressor has
been turned off.
14. Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre
valve by unscrewing it as quickly as
possible (anti-clockwise).
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap,
and the tyre valve cap.
17. Do not remove the sealant bottle from the
receiver.
18. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including
the bottle, and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle. You will need to
use the kit to check the tyre pressure after
3km (2 miles) so ensure they are easily
accessible.
19. Immediately drive the vehicle for 3 km (2
miles) to allow the sealant to coat the inner
surface of the tyre and form a seal at the
puncture.
†When pumping the sealant through the tyre
valve, the pressure may rise up to 6 bar (87
lb/in²). The pressure will drop again after
approximately 30 seconds.
Checking the tyre pressure after a repair
1. Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyres condition.
2. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose.
3. Screw the inflation hos e connector firmly
onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is
above 1.3 bar (19 lb/in²) adjust the
pressure to the correct value. See
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (page 194).
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off position ( O), and insert the power
cable connector into an auxiliary power
socket. See AUXILIARY POWER
SOCKETS (page 110).
7. If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,
start the engine.
8. Switch on the compressor ( I), and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
WARNINGS
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibr ations, abnormal
steering, or noises, re duce speed immediately.
Drive with extreme caution and reduced speed
to the first safe place to stop the vehicle.
Visually examine the tyre, and check it's
pressure. If there are any signs of damage or
deformity to the tyre, or the tyre pressure is
below 1.3 bar (19 lb/i n²) do not continue
driving.
