RUNNING-IN(petrol &diesel models)
EMISSIONCONTROLSYSTEM
Proper running-in will have a direct bearing on
the reliabilityand smooth running of your
vehicle throughout its life.
Land Rover vehicles are fitted with emission
and evaporative control equipment necessary
to meet a number of territorialrequirements.
In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and
tyres need time to bed-in and adjust to the
demands of everydaymotoring. It is therefore
essential to drive with consideration for the
running-in process for at least the first 800
km (500 miles) and observe the following
advice:
In many countries, it is against the law for
vehicle owners to modify or tamper with
emission control equipment, or to sanction
the unauthorised replacement or modification
of this equipment by a repair shop. In such
cases, the vehicle owner and the repairer may
both be liable for legalpenalties.

LIMITmaximum speed to 80 km/h (50
mph) for 4-cylinder engines and 95 km/h
It is important to remember that only Land
Rover dealers are properlyequipped to
perform repairs and to maintain the emission
control system on your vehicle.
(60
mph) for V8 engines. Initially, drive
the vehicle on a light throttle and only
increase engine speeds once the
running-in distance has been completed.
