JACKING
The following instructions must be carried out before raising the vehicle off the ground
- Use a solid level surface.
- Apply parking brake.
- Select 1st. gear in main gearbox and ensure HDC is not selected.
| CAUTION | To avoid damage to under body components of the vehicle, adhere to the following jacking procedures: DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS |
- Bumpers
- Brake Or Fuel Lines
- Exhaust Pipe
- Suspension Components
- Steering Rack And Linkages
- Fuel Tank
- Engine Sump
- Gearbox
- IRD Unit
| CAUTION | Jack or support vehicle only on approved jacking points as detailed in the following illustration |
Scheme 1
Front (hydraulic jack) and side (vehicle jack) jacking points
Scheme 2
Safety stand positions under longitudinal members
Scheme 3
Rear (hydraulic jack) and side (vehicle jack) jacking points
VEHICLE JACK
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to be used in an emergency, for changing a tyre. Do NOT use the jack for any other purpose. .
HYDRAULIC JACK
A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg (3,300 lbs) load capacity must be used.
| WARNING | Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands. |
RAISING THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE
Position the cup of the hydraulic arm under the centre of the front body crossmember assembly.
Use jack to raise front road wheels to enable safety stands to be installed under the front end of each logitudinal member.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle re-check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle from stands.
Note. For some repair operations it may be necessary to use a jack to support the engine under the sump. In this case, a block of wood should be used on the jack to protect the sump.
RAISING THE REAR OF A VEHICLE
Position cup of hydraulic arm under the centre of the rear subframe crossmember at the position identified by the embossed arrows.
Use jack to raise rear road wheels to enable safety stands to be installed under the rear ends of the body longitudinal members.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle, re-check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle from stands.
WHEEL-FREE LIFT
Locate the lifting pads under the ends of the body longitudinal members. Raise the ramp to support the weight of the vehicle, ensure the vehicle is secure on the lifting pads, then raise the ramp to the required height.
TOWING - GENERAL
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The following instructions must be adhered to
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON ALL FOUR WHEELS WITH DRIVER OPERATING STEERING AND BRAKES
- Turn ignition key to position '1' to release steering lock and then to po. enable the brakelights, wipers and direction indicators to be operated, if necessary.
- Select neutral in gearbox and ensure HDC (hill descent control) is deselected.
- Secure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
- Release the parking brake.
| CAUTION | The brake servo and power assisted steering system will not be functional without the engine running. Greater pedal pressure will be required to apply the brakes and the steering system will require greater effort to turn the front road wheels. The vehicle tow connection should only be used under normal road conditions, 'snatch' recovery should be avoided. |
SUSPENDED TOW BY BREAKDOWN VEHICLE
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges and mating flanges with identification lines to enable the propeller shaft to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings then remove the shaft from the vehicle.
| CAUTION | To prevent vehicle damage, rear propeller shaft MUST BE removed. |
If the front of the vehicle is to be trailed, turn ignition key to position T to release steering lock.
| WARNING | Do not turn the starter switch to position '0' or remove the ignition key while the vehicle is being towed. |
| CAUTION | If it is considered unsafe to turn the starter switch to position '1' due to accident damage or an electrical fault; disconnect the battery before turning the ignition switch. |
| CAUTION | The steering wheel and/or linkage must be secured in a straight ahead position. DO NOT use the steering lock mechanism for this purpose. |
| CAUTION | Under no circumstances should the vehicle be towed or recovered by means of lashing to the rear subframe. Serious damage to the subframe and body could result. |
| CAUTION | Only use the rear towing eye for towing another vehicle. |
TOWING EYES
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and must not be used to tow a trailer or caravan.
Scheme 4
Scheme 5
Front and rear towing eyes
A single towing eye is provided in the front spoiler. Only use when the vehicle is to be towed with all four wheels on the ground.
A single towing eye is provided in the rear RH spoiler. Only use when towing another vehicle.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE BY TRAILER
Lashing rings are provided at the front and rear of the body to facilitate the securing of the vehicle to a trailer or other means of transportation.
| CAUTION | Underbody components must not be used as lashing points. The lashing rings must not be used for towing. |
Install the vehicle on trailer and apply the parking brake. Select neutral.
LASHING EYES
Lashing rings are provided at the front and rear of the vehicle for use when transporting by trailer. DO NOT use lashing eyes for towing purposes.

EMERGENCY STARTING
| WARNING | Battery fluid (electrolyte) contains sulphuric acid. It may cause severe burns if it gets on your skin or in your eyes. Wear protective clothing and a face shield. If electrolyte gets on your skin or clothes, immediately rinse it off with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical help. |
TO JUMP START - NEGATIVE GROUND BATTERY
Position vehicles so that jump leads will reach, ensuring that vehicles DO NOT TOUCH, alternatively a fully charged slave battery may be positioned on the floor adjacent to the vehicle.
Ensure that
- The ignition and all electrical accessories are switched off.
- The parking brake is applied and neutral is selected on gearbox.
Connect The Jump Leads As Follows
| WARNING | Making final cable connection could cause an electrical arc, which if made near battery could cause an explosion. |
- Connect one end of first jumper cable to positive (+) terminal of booster battery.
- Connect other end of first jumper cable to positive (+) terminal of discharged battery.
- Connect one end of second jumper cable to negative terminal of booster battery.
- Connect other end of second jumper cable to a good earth point on the engine, NOT TO NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF DISCHARGED BATTERY.
| CAUTION | Keep jumper leads away from moving parts, pulleys, drive belts and fan blade. |
Scheme 8
If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, start engine and allow to idle.
Start engine of vehicle with discharged battery, following starting procedure in Owners' Handbook.
| CAUTION | If vehicle fails to start within a maximum time of 12 seconds, switch ignition off and investigate cause. Failure to follow this instruction could result in irreparable damage to catalyst. |
To disconnect
- Remove negative (-) jumper cable from the engine and then terminal of booster battery.
- Remove positive (+) jumper cable from positive terminals of booster battery and discharged battery.
