STARTING A PETROL ENGINE

Starting

1. Insert the remote control into the docking

port and press to latch.

2. Press the brake pedal.

3. With the brake pedal depressed briefly

press and release the start button. The
engine will crank automatically until it
starts.

Stopping the engine

Before stopping the engine, ensure that the
vehicle is parked safely with the park brake
applied.

1. Select P (Park) and press the Start/Stop

button.

2. Press the remote to unlatch it, then remove

it from the docking port by gripping the
sides. Do not pull the remote out using the
keyring attachment as this may remove
only the emergency key.

Note: P (Park) must be selected before the
remote can be removed.

WARNING

Never start the engine, or leave it
running, when the vehicle is in an
enclosed space. Exhaust gasses are

poisonous and can cause unconsciousness
and death if inhaled.

CAUTION

If the engine fails to start, do not
continue cranking as this will discharge
the battery. It may also damage the

catalytic convertor due to unburnt fuel passing
through the exhaust.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) forms part of
the emissions reduction system fitted to Land
Rover vehicles. The DPF will remove a high
proportion of the harmful carbon microspheres
(soot) before they leave the exhaust. It
achieves this by filtering out the particles,
which are then stored until they are burnt away
and the filter is emptied.

Regeneration

Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic
replacement, the DPF has been designed to
regenerate, or clean itself to maintain operating
efficiency. The regeneration process takes
place automatically in most cases. However,
some unfavourable driving conditions mean
that the regeneration process must be initiated
deliberately by the driver.

CAUTION

The regeneration procedure produces
high temperatures in the DPF. Heat can
be felt radiating from beneath the

vehicle, which is normal and not a cause for
concern. However, the vehicle should not be
parked over combustible material, particularly
during dry weather. The heat generated could
be sufficient to start a fire when in close
proximity to combustible material such as
long dry grass, paper etc.

Regeneration procedure

If DPF FULL along with the handbook symbol
appears in the message centre, carry out the
following procedure.

Note: At all times during this procedure you
should observe all relevant speed limits, laws,
and regulations. Always take account of traffic
and weather conditions, and drive with
consideration for other road users.

1. Drive the vehicle until the engine reaches

normal operating temperature. The engine
should not be left idling to achieve working
temperature.

2. Drive the vehicle for a further twenty

minutes, keeping the road speed above 48
km/h (30 mph).

3. If regeneration is successful the warning

light, or message, will extinguish. If they
do not repeat the process.

Note: If the warning indicator or message fails
to extinguish after following the regeneration
process three times, contact your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for assistance.

Warning indicators and messages

If regeneration cannot be achieved
automatically by the system, due to short
journeys for example, the driver will be notified
via a warning indicator, or message.

DPF FULL

If this message appears the driver should carry
out the DPF regeneration procedure as soon as
possible.

DPF FULL VISIT DEALER

If this message appears the vehicle should be
taken to your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer as soon as possible.

CAUTION

Failure to take the appropriate action
when a warning indicator or message
appears may result in damage to the

engine, DPF system, increased vehicle
emissions, and costly repairs.
