WARNING
ALWAYS adhere to the following procedure
when towing the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground. Failure to do so could result in
unintended vehicle movement or
Without the engine running, the brake servo
and power steering pump cannot provide
assistance; greater effort will therefore be
required to operate the brake pedal and turn
the steering wheel. Longer stopping

2.
Apply the parking brake.
Secure the towing attachment from the
recovery vehicle to the front towing eye of
the vehicle to be recovered.
Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’, so
that the brake lights and direction
indicators can be operated.
With the foot brake applied, set the main
gearbox in ‘N’ (neutral) and then put the
transfer box into neutral.
CAUTION: Leaving the starter switch in position
‘II’ for extended periods will put a draw on the
battery, which can lead to voltage drop and
ultimately to a discharged battery.

6.
Set the main gearbox in ‘P’ (park).
Release the parking brake before towing
the vehicle.
NOTE: If, due to an accident or electrical fault, it
is not considered safe to turn the starter switch,
the vehicle cannot be towed with wheels on the
ground.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle unless the
starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If the
vehicle is towed with the starter switch in
position ‘I’, an inconsistency in the recorded
vehicle mileage will occur. This must then be
rectified by a Land Rover retailer.

Pairs of lashing rings are fixed to the underside
of the vehicle - at the front (to the rear of the
front wheels) and at the rear (backward of the
rear wheels). DO NOT secure lashing hooks or
trailer fixings to any other part of the vehicle.
DO NOT remove the key or turn the starter
switch to position ‘0’ while the vehicle is in
motion; the starter switch must be at position
‘II’.
NOTE: The front rings are for lashing only and
must NOT be used for towing. The rear lashing
rings are designed for both towing and lashing.
