OWNER’S HANDBOOK

This handbook covers all current versions of

Land Rover Defender petrol and diesel models

and, together with the Service Portfolio book,

provides all the information you need to derive

maximum pleasure from owning and driving

your new vehicle.

For convenience, the handbook is divided into

sections, each dealing with a particular aspect

of driving or caring for the vehicle. Sections

are listed on the contents page; you will ﬁnd it

worthwhile to take a little time to read each

one, and to get to know your Defender as

soon as you possibly can. Remember, the

more you understand before you drive, the

greater the satisfaction when you are seated

behind the steering wheel.

The specification of each vehicle will vary

according to territorial requirements and

also from model to model within the vehicle

range. Some of the information published in

this handbook, therefore, may not apply to

your particular vehicle.

literature pack contains important vehicle

identification information and details of your

entitlement under the terms of the Land Rover

warranty.

Most important of all, however, is the section

on maintenance. This outlines the servicing

requirements for your vehicle and also

includes the 1500 km (1,000 mile) Free

Service Voucher, as well as incorporating the

service record slips, which the dealer should

sign and stamp to certify that routine services

have been carried out at the recommended

intervals.

WARNING

Safety warnings are included in this

handbook. These indicate either a procedure

which must be followed precisely, or

information that should be considered with

great care in order to avoid the possibility of

personal injury or serious damage to the

vehicle.

Warning labels attached to

your vehicle bearing this

symbol mean: DO NOT to

or adjust components until you have re

the relevant instructions in the handboo

Warning labels showing

symbol indicate that the

ignition system utilises v

high voltages. DO NOT touch any igniti

components while the starter switch is

turned on!

WARNING

Your vehicle has a higher ground cleara

and, therefore, a higher centre of gravi

than ordinary passenger cars. This will

result in diﬀerent handling characteris

Inexperienced drivers should take addit

care, particularly in oﬀ-road driving

situations and when performing abrupt

manoeuvres on unstable surfaces.

Rover dealer, you may be asked to quote the

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

The VIN and recommended maximum vehicle

weights (dependent on market) is stamped on

a plate riveted to the top of the brake pedal

box in the engine compartment (this should

also match the VIN recorded in the Service

Portfolio book). The VIN is also stamped on

the right-hand side of the chassis, forward of

the spring mounting turret.

In addition, as a deterrent to car thieves and to

assist the police, the VIN is also stamped on a

plate visible through the left side of the

windscreen.

A. Type approval

B. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

C. Gross vehicle weight (where required)

D. Gross train weight (where required)

E. Maximum front axle load (where required)

F. Maximum rear axle load (where required)

NOTE: In the interests of safety, it is essential

that the gross vehicle weight, gross train

weight and axle loads are NOT exceeded. For

further information see ’General data’.

’professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts

are carried out by unskilled opportunists.

Therefore, take vehicle security very seriously

and ALWAYS adopt this simple ’five poin

drill whenever you leave your vehicle - ev

for just a few minutes:

•Fully close all the windows (and the

sunroof).

•Remove your valuable belongings (o

them out of sight).

•Remove the starter key.

•Engage the steering lock (by slightly

turning the wheel until it locks).

•Lock all the doors.

Thieves are attracted to ’vulnerable’ vehi

Even if you have followed the ’five point’

there is still much you can do to make y

vehicle a less inviting target.

BE SAFE NOT SORRY!

•Park where your vehicle can easily be

by householders and passers-by.

•At night, park in well lit areas and avo

deserted or dimly lit side streets.

•At home, if you have a garage, use it

NEVER leave the keys in the vehicle.

•Do not keep important vehicle docum

(or spare keys) in the vehicle - these

real bonus for the thief.

Remember the breakdown

safety code

If a breakdown occurs while travelling:-

•Wherever possible, consistent with

road safety and traffic conditions,

the vehicle should be moved off the

main thoroughfare, preferably into a

lay-by. If a breakdown occurs on a

motorway, pull well over to the

inside of the hard shoulder.

•Switch on hazard lights.

•If possible, position a warning

triangle or a flashing amber light at

an appropriate distance from the

vehicle to warn other traffic of the

breakdown (note the legal

requirements of some countries).

•Consider evacuating passengers

through nearside doors onto the

verge as a precaution in case your

Defender is struck by another

vehicle.

In this section of the handbook you will ﬁnd

descriptions of the controls and instruments

on your vehicle.

For your own safety, it is most important to

read this section fully and to gain a thorough

understanding of all the controls before

driving.

KEYS

You have been supplied with two sets of keys,

comprising:

•a black key for operating the starter

switch.

•a plain, metal, key for operating the door

locks.

•A smaller metal key (marked ’FUEL’) to

operate the fuel filler cap lock.

Key numbers

The starter key number is stamped on a tag

attached to the key ring. Both key numbers

should be entered on the Security Information

card.

WARNING

For safety, remove the Security Information

card from the literature pack and keep it

with the key tag, and spare keys in a safe

place - AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE!

ONLY be operated with the key. Turn the key

towards the rear to lock and towards the front

to unlock.

Door sill locking buttons

From inside the vehicle, each door can b

individually locked by depressing the

appropriate sill locking button.

WARNING

DO NOT depress the sill buttons as a m

of locking the doors from outside the ve

(this practice - known as ’slam locking’

NOT recommended, because keys can b

locked inside accidentally).

Child-proof locks

(110 Station wagon)

Move the locking levers down to engage the

child-proof locks (see illustration).

With the locks engaged, the rear doors cannot

be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby

reducing the risk of a door being opened

accidentally while the vehicle is moving.

Taildoor

(if fitted)

From outside, use the door key to lock a

unlock the taildoor. From inside and with

door closed, push the locking button up

lock and down to unlock (as illustration)

Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated

anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation

system. In order to combine maximum vehicle

security with minimum inconvenience, you are

advised to gain a full understanding of the

alarm system by thoroughly reading this

section of the handbook.

Features of the alarm system

Perimeter protection: This part of the alarm

system protects the doors, bonnet and

taildoor against unauthorised entry - the alarm

sounding if any one of these apertures is

opened without the alarm first being

disarmed.

Interior protection: Also known as volumetric

protection, this part of the system protects the

space inside the vehicle. If movement within

the passenger compartment, or intrusions

through the windows or sunroof are detected,

the alarm will sound.

Engine immobilisation: The engine is

immobilised electronically whenever the alarm

system is armed. Even if the alarm has not

been armed, engine immobilisation will occur

automatically thirty seconds after the driver’s

door is opened, or five minutes after the

starter switch is turned to position ’0’.

In practice, this means it is virtually

impossible to leave your Defender unattended

without the engine being immobilised.

ARMING THE ALARM

WARNING

If a passenger or animal is to be left in

the vehicle, or if a window or sunroof is

be left open, interior protection must be

disabled. Refer to ’Interior protection’

before arming the alarm.

To arm the alarm, aim the handset at the

Defender and press the right hand butto

(PADLOCK SYMBOL). Provided all the do

and other apertures are closed, the direc

indicator lights will flash three times to

confirm that the alarm is armed. All the

security features described previously w

detected inside the vehicle.

left (PLAIN) button on the handset; the

direction indicator lights will flash once to

indicate that the alarm has been disarmed and

the engine re-mobilised.

NOTE: In some territories, the interior lights

will illuminate when the alarm is disarmed.

If the direction indicators fail to ﬂash when

the alarm is armed:

This indicates that a door or the bonnet is not

fully closed, in which case the alarm will still

be partially armed and the engine

immobilised, but interior protection will not be

active.

Once the open door or bonnet is closed, the

direction indicators will flash three times and

the alarm will fully arm as described

previously.

If the alarm sounds:

The vehicle horn and alarm siren will sound

continuously for 30 seconds and then switch

off. The horn and siren can be triggered up to

three times.

To silence the alarm, press either handset

button. If the handset is inoperative, the alarm

can only be disarmed by entering the

emergency key access code (see ’Engine

immobilisation override’).

Anti-theft alarm indicator light

A RED indicator light on the instrument

indicates the status of the alarm system

When the alarm is armed successfully, t

light FLASHES rapidly. After 10 seconds

light adjusts to a slower frequency, and

continues flashing as an anti-theft deter

until the alarm is disarmed.

If the light fails to illuminate during the r

flash phase, this indicates a ’mislock’ (d

bonnet not fully closed or key in starter

switch). If this occurs, the indicator light

still flash at the slower frequency as an

anti-theft deterrent.

If the light illuminates continuously, this

indicates that the engine has immobilise

passively (see ’Engine immobilisation’).

Interior protection

Interior protection is activated automatically

when the alarm system is armed; twin sensors

inside the vehicle monitor the interior space

and will activate the alarm if an intrusion is

detected.

However, if passengers or animals are to be

left inside the vehicle, or if a window or

sunroof is to be left open, the alarm must be

armed with interior protection DISABLED as

follows:

To disable interior protection:

1. Open the driver’s door.

2. With the driver’s door open, use the

handset to arm the alarm in the normal way.

3. Close the driver’s door (the direction

indicator lights flash three times and the

anti-theft indicator light commences flashing

rapidly). The alarm system is now armed with

interior protection disabled.

WARNING

If the vehicle is to be left with windows or

sunroof open, or with passengers or animals

inside, the interior protection MUST BE

DISABLED, as described above.

NOTE: Interior protection will not operate for

the ﬁrst 15 seconds after the alarm is set.

WARNING

Pregnant women should ask a doctor fo

advice about the safest way to wear sea

belts.

WARNING

At all times, occupants should wear a seat

belt for their protection in the event of a

collision or sudden stop. In some

circumstances, perhaps due to the vehicle

being on a slope, the automatic locking

mechanism may engage, preventing the

initial extension of the belt. This is not a

fault - ease the belt free and use it.

Fastening the inertia reel belts

Draw the belt over the shoulder and across

the chest, and insert the metal tongue plate

In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and

tyres need time to bed-in and adjust to the

demands of everyday motoring. It is therefore

essential to drive with consideration for the

running-in process for at least the first 800

km (500 miles) and observe the following

advice:

•LIMIT maximum speed to 80 km/h (50

mph) for Td5, Tdi and 4-cylinder petrol

engines and 95 km/h (60 mph) for V8

engines. Initially, drive the vehicle on a

light throttle and only increase engine

been completed.

•DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the

engine to labour in any gear.

•AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking

except in emergencies.

•How your vehicle is maintained.

•How you drive your vehicle.

To obtain optimum fuel economy, it is

essential that your vehicle is maintained

accordance with the manufacturer’s serv

schedule.

Items such as ignition timing, the condit

the air cleaner element, tyre pressures a

wheel alignment can have a significant e

on fuel consumption. But above all, the w

which you drive is most important. The

following hints may help you to obtain e

better value from your motoring:

•Avoid unnecessary, short, start-stop

journeys.

•Avoid fast starts by accelerating gent

smoothly from rest.

•Do not drive in the lower gears longe

necessary.

•Decelerate gently and avoid sudden a

heavy braking.

•Anticipate obstructions and adjust yo

speed accordingly well in advance.

DRIVE GENTLY - SAVE FUEL!

Before driving, it is important to fully

understand the function of the instruments

and warning lights described in section 2.

NOTE: Red warning lights are of particular

importance, illumination indicates that a fault

exists. If a red light illuminates, always stop

the vehicle and seek qualiﬁed assistance

before continuing.

Vehicle stability

Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance

and, therefore, a higher centre of gravity than

ordinary passenger cars. This will result in

different handling characteristics.

Inexperienced drivers should take additional

care, particularly in off-road driving situations

and when performing abrupt manoeuvres at

inappropriate speeds or on unstable surfaces.

Vehicle height

The overall height of your vehicle exceeds that

of ordinary passenger cars. Always be aware

of the height of your vehicle and check the

available headroom before driving through

low entrances. This is particularly important if

the vehicle is fitted with a roof rack or if the

USE ONLY RECOMMENDED FUEL

4 cylinder engines:

Use 90 RON minimum leaded or unleaded fuel

wherever possible.

V8 engines:

Use 91 - 93 leaded or unleaded fuel wherever

possible.

The RON value (octane rating) of petroleum

commonly available at garage forecourts will

vary in different countries. The RON value

quoted is the MINIMUM requirement and

whilst this can be safely exceeded, no

advantage in performance or fuel economy

will be gained by using a higher octane fuel.

If heavy engine knock is detected when using

the recommended octane rated fuel, or if

steady engine knocking is present while

maintaining a steady speed on level roads,

contact your dealer for advice.

NOTE: An occasional, light, engine knock

while accelerating or climbing hills is

acceptable.

1. Insert the key and turn it 90 clockwise.°

2. Turn the key back to the vertical and then

remove.

The cap should then be unscrewed gradually

(see Warning below).

WARNING

To avoid any sudden discharge of fuel

caused by excessive air pressure, the cap is

designed to allow the fuel tank to vent

during the ﬁrst half turn. DO NOT fully

remove the cap until pressure has been

released.

Filling station pumps are equipped with

automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel

spillage - only fill the tank until the filler nozzle

automatically shuts off. DO NOT attempt to fill

the tank beyond this point or spillage could

result due to expansion of the fuel.

WARNING

DO NOT fully ﬁll the tank if the vehicle is to

be parked on a slope in direct sunlight or

high ambient temperature - expansion of the

fuel could cause spillage.

When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise

until the cap clicks at least three times - this

locks the cap (the key is not needed).

In the case of Tdi diesel models, qualified

assistance may be required to prime the fuel

system before the engine can be restarted.

Td5 diesel engine vehicles

In the case of Td5 vehicles,carry out the

following procedure:

1. Turn off the starter switch and wait for 15

seconds.

2. Turn the starter key to position ’II’ and

wait for 30 seconds.

3. Turn off the starter switch.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 six times.

4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

5. Keeping the pedal depressed, start

cranking the engine.

6. Continue cranking the engine and as soon

as the engine is running on all cylinders,

ease the accelerator pedal back to

approximately halfway through its travel,

and release the starter key. The engine

should now be running.

7. If the engine fails to start, repeat the

process.

During the above procedure, the fuel pump

will be heard to operate (priming the engine).

This noise is not a cause for concern.

The engine must NOT be cranked for

more than 20 seconds in any one period.

If the above procedure is carried out o

MAIN GEARBOX

Your vehicle features a five speed main

gearbox and a two speed transfer box. In

addition, a centre differential in the transfer

box distributes the drive to the front and rear

axles, providing permanent four wheel drive.

By using the main gearbox in conjunction with

the transfer gears, ten forward and two

reverse speeds are available.

The gear positions for the main gearbox are

shown on the gear lever knob. Note that when

the gearbox is in neutral, the gear lever is

spring-loaded to automatically align between

third and fourth gear positions.

always keep the left foot well clear of the

clutch pedal, except when changing gear.

WARNING

Do NOT select reverse gear unless the

vehicle is stationary.

TRANSFER GEARBOX

The second gear lever is used to select either

the high or low range of gears in the transfer

gearbox and, in addition, also controls the

centre differential (known as the ’DIFF LOCK’).

High range (’H’)

Use high range for all normal road driving and

also for off-road driving across dry, level

terrain.

Low range (’L’)

Use low range gears when moving off from

rest when towing a heavy load, or in any

situation where low speed manoeuvring is

necessary, such as reversing a trailer or

negotiating a boulder strewn river bed; also

use for more extreme off-road conditions

where progress in high range cannot be

maintained.

running, depress the clutch and then move

the lever fully forward (or backwards) in TWO

distinct but positive moves - ’high to

neutral’.... ’neutral to low’ (or vice versa).

If there is resistance to the gear engaging, do

not force the lever. Instead, with the main

lever in gear, release the clutch momentarily

and then try again.

Changing from low to high on the move:

Changing from ’L’ (low) to ’H’ (high) can be

achieved without stopping the vehicle, as

follows:

1. Apply slight backward pressure to the

transfer gear lever in preparation for

changing.

2. Then, in three simultaneous moves,

depress the clutch, release the accelerator

and pull the transfer lever into neutral.

3. Release the clutch pedal for approximately

3 seconds before depressing it again and

moving the transfer lever firmly into the

high position.

4. Finally, select a suitable main gear, release

the clutch and continue driving in the

normal way.

NOTE: After a little practice, this operation

can be carried out smoothly and quickly by

using ﬁrm, positive moves.

THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

Unlike many four wheel drive vehicles, all

Land Rover vehicles have permanent four

wheel drive. This is achieved by the inclusion

of a lockable differential between the front and

rear drive shafts. With the differential locked,

the drive shafts to front and rear axles are (in

effect) joined together, causing both to rotate

at the same speed. This is a normal feature

with all four wheel drive vehicles and

enhances traction on difficult off-road

surfaces. However, with the differential

unlocked the different running requirements

of the two axles can be accommodated,

thereby enabling Land Rover vehicles to

operate permanently in four wheel drive for

both road AND off-road use.

either with the vehicle stationary, or when

driving at any road speed. However, with the

vehicle in motion it is ESSENTIAL to be

travelling on firm ground, in a straight li

and without wheel slip.

WARNING

DO NOT engage the diﬀ lock if one or m

wheels are slipping - this could damag

transmission. If wheels are slipping, ea

oﬀ the accelerator before engaging the

lock.

DO NOT engage the diﬀ lock from the

transfer neutral position.

To lock the diﬀerential:

Briefly ease the throttle and move the tra

gear lever to the left - from either ’H’ (hig

’L’ (low) position (the warning light on t

instrument panel will illuminate).

To unlock the diﬀerential:

Move the transfer gear lever to the right

either ’H’ (high) or ’L’ (low) position as

required; when the diff lock disengages t

warning light will extinguish.
