Vehicle care
CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels with soap and water, this
should be done more frequently when the
wheels are exposed to heavy dirt deposits, salt,
clay etc. If you are unsure how often to clean
the wheels in particular conditions, seek advice
from your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Land Rover approved wheel cleaner should be
used to remove heavy soiling.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Washing the vehicle
Remove heavy deposits of mud and dirt with a
hose before washing the vehicle.
Wash the vehicle frequently using a sponge
and generous quantities of cold or luke warm
water containing a suitable car shampoo. Rinse
thoroughly, and dry with a chamois leather, or
synthetic substitute.
Removing tar spots
Use white spirit to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains from paintwork. Ensure
that after using white spirit, the area is washed
immediately with soapy water to remove all
traces of spirit.
CAUTION
Do not use non-approved, or acid based
wheel cleaners. These can damage the
wheel coating which may lead to
corrosion of the wheel rims.
CAUTIONS
Some high pressure cleaning systems
are sufficiently powerful to penetrate
door/window seals, and damage trim
and door locks. Never aim the water jet directly
at the engine air intake, heater air intakes, body
seals (doors, sunroof, windows etc) or at any
components which may be damaged (lights,
mirrors, exterior trim etc).
E79400
Do not use a power wash system in the
engine bay area as it may damage fragile
components, electrical systems etc.
Ensure that you read and comply with all
warnings and instructions supplied with
any cleaning products.
Never use cleaning products which are
not approved for use on vehicles.
CAUTION
Substances which are corrosive, such
as bird droppings, tree resin, dead
insects, tar spots, road salt, and
industrial fall out, can damage the vehicle's
paintwork. Any such deposits should be
removed as soon as possible to prevent
damage to the vehicle's paintwork.

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used on highways to
control snow and ice, as well as accumulations
from off-road driving or wading in salt water,
can collect on the vehicle's underbody. If these
materials are not removed accelerated
corrosion can occur. Regularly flush the
underbody with plain water, and pay particular
attention to areas where mud and debris
collect.
If damage or corrosion are detected, have the
vehicle checked by a Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
Glass and mirrors
The rear screen, and mirror glass' should only
be cleaned using soapy water and a soft cloth.
This will avoid damaging the reflective surface
of the mirror, and the heating elements and
antenna in the rear screen.
Never use abrasive cleaning products, or metal
ice scrapers on the mirrors or the front/rear
screens.
Cleaning after off-road driving
Ensure that the vehicle underside is cleaned as
soon as possible after driving off-road. Further
information on cleaning after off-road use is
available in the off-road driving handbook. This
can be found on-line at
http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Plastic and cloth
Clean plastic or cloth faced surfaces with warm
water and non-detergent soap. Then wipe clean
with a soft cloth.
Leather
CAUTION
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.

WARNING
Ensure that you read all of the
information and instructions for use
provided with cleaning products.
Some products contain substances that are
harmful and can cause health problems if used
incorrectly.
CAUTION
Some products, if used incorrectly can
cause damage to the interior surfaces of
the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not polish the instrument panel.
Polished surfaces are reflective, and
may interfere with the drivers view.
CAUTIONS
Only use cleaning products specifically
designed for use on leather. 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.

Leather should be cleaned and protected at
least every six months.
Land Rover recommend the use of leather
cleaning kit BAC500490. Use only in
accordance with the instructions.
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.
Carpets and fabrics
Only clean with a dilute solution of an approved
upholstery cleaner. It is advisable to test all
cleaners on a concealed area before use.
Instrument pack, clock, and audio
equipment
Only use a soft dry cloth to clean the
instrument pack, clock, and audio equipment.
Do not use cleaning fluids or sprays.
Seat belts
Extend the seat belts fully, then use warm
water and a non-detergent soap to clean. Allow
the seat belts to dry naturally whilst fully
extended.
Note: Whilst 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, a Land Rover
Dealer/Approved repairer.
Airbag module covers
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.
Minor chips and scratches can be touched up
using materials and advice available from a
Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer. Larger
areas of damage will require professional
repair, and you should consult a Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
If you are in any doubt as to which
products to use, consult your Land
Rover Dealer/Approved repairer.
WARNING
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.
CAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Airbag covers should only be cleaned
using a slightly dampened cloth, and a
small amount of upholstery cleaner.
Do not allow the airbag covers, or
surrounding areas, to become
contaminated with liquids. Any
substance which enters the mechanism can
prevent correct deployment of an airbag
during an impact.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular systematic maintenance is the key to
ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency
of your vehicle.
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility and
you must ensure that owner maintenance
operations, oil services, inspections and brake
fluid and coolant changes are carried out when
required and according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The routine maintenance requirements for your

requires specialised knowledge and
equipment, and should preferably be entrusted
to a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
