CHANGING A BULB  
XENON LAMPS  
If the lighting has just been switched  
High voltage is required to ignite the  
gas and metal vapour which are used  
to power Xenon lamps. Contact with  
this voltage can cause serious injury.  
Replacement or maintenance of  
off, give the bulbs time to cool.  
Handling them when hot may cause  
personal injury.  
Always replace bulbs with the correct  
type and specification. If you are in any  
doubt contact your Land Rover  
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.  
See 199, BULB SPECIFICATION  
CHART.  
Xenon lamps should only be carried  
out by suitably qualified personnel.  
Xenon lamp units operate at a very  
high temperature. Ensure that the  
lamp units have cooled before  
attempting to touch them.  
Before attempting a bulb change,  
ensure that the ignition and affected  
lamp are turned off. If the circuit  
remains live, a short circuit can occur  
which may damage the vehicle  
electrical system.  
Xenon lamp units contain Mercury  
which is highly toxic and can be  
extremely harmful.

171  
Maintenance  
If damage or corrosion are detected, have the  
vehicle checked by your Dealer/Authorised  
Repairer as soon as possible.  
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR  
Remove any heavy deposits of mud and  
dirt with a hose before washing the  
vehicle.  
CLEANING AFTER OFF-ROAD  
DRIVING  
Never aim a hose water jet directly at  
the engine air intake, heater air intakes,  
body seals or at any components which  
may be damaged.  
Do not use a high pressure washer or  
steam cleaner in the engine  
compartment.  
Following cleaning of the vehicle  
exterior (particularly with a pressure  
washer), it is recommended that the  
vehicle is taken for a short drive to dry  
out the brakes.  
Substances which are corrosive, such  
as bird droppings and tree resin, can  
damage the vehicle’s paintwork and  
should be removed as soon as possible.  
Ensure that the areas around air intakes  
and the front grille are clean and clear of  
debris. Pay particular attention to the  
lower grille and radiator. Failure to do  
so may cause the engine to overheat,  
leading to severe engine damage.  
Use only cleaning products approved  
for use on vehicles.  
Camera lenses must be treated with  
care. Clean with a low pressure hose  
and wipe with a damp cloth.  
Ensure that the vehicle underside is cleaned as  
soon as possible after driving off-road.  
Note: Do not apply polish to any unpainted  
areas of the bumper mouldings. It will become  
ingrained in the textured finish.  
CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS  
Only use approved wheel cleaning  
products.  
USING WHITE SPIRIT  
Stubborn stains such as tar spots and grease  
may require the use of white spirt. After use,  
ensure the area is washed immediately with  
warm soapy water to remove all traces of the  
spirit.  
GLASS SURFACES  
Clean the rear window with a soft cloth to avoid  
damaging the heating element. Do not scrape  
the glass or use any abrasive cleaning fluid.  
Mirror glass is particularly susceptible to  
damage. Wash with soapy water. Do not use  
abrasive cleaning compounds or metal  
scrapers to remove ice.  
UNDERBODY MAINTENANCE  
Regularly flush the underbody with plain water,  
and pay particular attention to areas where  
mud and debris collect.  
172  
Maintenance  
To avoid damaging the protecting coating, only  
clean the interior side of the sunroof glass with  
a soft cloth. Do not scrape the glass or use  
abrasive cleaning fluids.  
LEATHER  
Use only cleaning products specifically  
designed for use on leather. Do not use  
solvents. Do not use chemical, alcohol,  
or abrasive materials, as they will cause  
rapid deterioration of the leather. The  
use of products which are not approved  
will invalidate your warranty.  
CLEANING THE REAR SCREEN  
To avoid damaging the heating elements when  
cleaning the inside of the rear screen, use only  
a soft damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not  
use solvents or sharp objects to clean the  
glass.  
If you are in any doubt as to which  
products to use, consult your Land  
Rover Dealer/Approved Repairer.  
Leather should be cleaned and protected using  
Land Rover leather cleaner BAC500490.  
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE  
Regularly inspect the paintwork for damage.  
Any stone chips, fractures, or deep scratches,  
in the paint/bodywork should be repaired  
promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly, and  
if left untreated can result in expensive repairs.  
To prevent ingrained dirt and staining, inspect  
the seat upholstery regularly and clean every  
one to two months as follows:  
1. Wipe off fine dust from the seat surfaces  
using a clean, damp, non-coloured cloth.  
Change frequently to a clean area of cloth  
to avoid abrasive action on the leather  
surface. Avoid over wetting the leather.  
CLEANING THE INTERIOR  
Some cleaning products contain  
substances that are harmful and can  
cause health problems if used  
incorrectly and may cause damage to  
the vehicle interior. Ensure that you  
read the manufacturer’s instructions  
carefully.  
2. If this is not sufficient, use a cloth which  
has been dampened with warm soapy  
water and then wrung out. Use only mild  
non-caustic soap.  
3. Use Land Rover leather cleaner for heavily  
soiled areas. Dry off and rub with a clean  
soft cloth, changing surfaces regularly.  
CLOTH AND FABRIC  
Use Land Rover leather cleaner several times a  
year to maintain the leather’s suppleness and  
appearance. The cleaner will nourish and  
moisturise and help to improve the surface  
protection film against dust and substances.  
Never use soap, ammonia, bleach or  
other cleaners intended for use on hard  
surfaces.  
Dynamica suede fabric should be cleaned  
regularly. Do not rub vigorously and do not use  
a steam machine. Dusting with a soft brush, a  
dry cloth or vacuum cleaner will be sufficient.  
Dark clothing may stain leather seats just  
like other upholstery products.  
Sharp objects such as belts, zipper  
fasteners, rivets, etc., can leave permanent  
scratches and scratch marks on the leather  
surface.  
Do not use printed absorbent cloths or paper  
as they may transfer colour to the fabric.  
173  
Maintenance  
Unless spillages such as tea, coffee or ink  
are washed away immediately, permanent  
staining may have to be accepted.  
Any substance which enters the  
mechanism can prevent correct  
deployment of an airbag during an  
impact.  
Do not use a cleaning product that is not  
specifically for use in a vehicle. While these  
products may initially give impressive  
results, their use will lead to rapid  
deterioration of the leather and will  
invalidate the warranty.  
CARPET AND MATS  
Marks or stains can be removed by gentle  
scrubbing with a weak solution of soap and  
warm water.  
If a valet service is used, ensure that the  
specialist concerned is aware of, and follows,  
these instructions precisely.  
For more stubborn stains a commercially  
available carpet cleaner should be used.  
Note: Some materials/fabrics are prone to dye  
transfer, which can cause unsightly  
discolouration of lighter coloured leathers.  
Affected areas should be cleaned and  
re-protected as soon as possible.  
INSTRUMENT PANEL,TOUCH  
SCREEN AND AUDIO SYSTEM  
Do not use upholstery cleaner on  
electrical equipment such as fascia  
switches.  
When cleaning around electrical  
equipment such as switches, ensure  
that fluids do not leak into any gaps  
around the components or between  
panels or trim.  
SEAT BELTS  
Do not allow any water, cleaning  
products, or fabric from cloths to enter  
the seat belt mechanism. Any  
substance which enters the  
mechanism may affect the  
performance of the seat belt in an  
impact.  
Clean with a lightly moistened cloth.  
Do not use chemical agents or domestic  
cleaners.  
Do not allow sharp, hard or abrasive  
objects to make contact with screens.  
Extend the seat belts fully, then use warm  
water and a non-detergent soap to clean. Allow  
the seat belts to dry naturally while fully  
extended.  
Avoid exposing screens to direct sunlight  
for long periods.  
To prevent errors occurring, ensure that  
only one finger at a time is in contact with  
the touch screen.  
Note: While cleaning the seat belt, take the  
opportunity to examine the webbing for  
damage/wear. Any wear or damage should be  
reported to, and rectified by your  
Do not use excessive pressure.
