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.

Seek advice about the correct

disposal of Xenon lamp units from a

Land Rover Dealer or your local

authority.

Not all bulbs are replaceable. The following

bulbs can be replaced:

ꢀ

Headlamps.

Direction indicators.

Some interior lamps.

All other exterior lamps and some interior

lamps are LED (light emitting diode) lamps and

can be replaced only by a Land Rover

Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

All replacement procedures require the

removal of components to gain access to the

bulbs.

Moving a headlamp unit should be

undertaken only by a qualified

technician. If in doubt, consult your

Land Rover Dealer.

Note: To change any bulb in a headlamp unit, a

cross head screwdriver and a 10mm spanner is

required.

Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

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.

Dealer/Approved Repairer.

AIRBAG MODULE COVERS

Airbag covers should only be cleaned

using a slightly dampened cloth, and

a small amount of upholstery cleaner.
