Land Rover Defender: Parts and accessories

The fitting of non-approved parts and accessories, or the carrying out of non-approved alterations or conversions, may be dangerous. Doing so could affect the safety of the vehicle and occupants, and also invalidate the terms and conditions of the vehicle's warranty.

All replacement parts for the Air Conditioning (A/C) system should be new and equivalent to the manufacturer's original equipment, while complying with the SAE standards.

Contact a retailer/authorized repairer for advice. Failure to adhere to the above may lead to serious injury or death.

The extremely flammable symbol may be used on an under-bonnet label. The symbol is relevant to the Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant fluid.

The symbol identifies flammable chemicals that have low flash and boiling points, and gases that catch fire when exposed to air.

Jaguar Land Rover Limited accepts no liability for death, personal injury, or damage to property, occurring as a direct result of non-approved modifications.

These modifications include but are not limited to: fitment of non-approved accessories, and the carrying out of non-approved conversions to the vehicle.

ROAD TESTING DYNAMOMETERS (ROLLING ROADS)

Any dynamometer testing should only be carried out by a qualified person, familiar with the dynamometer testing and safety procedures practiced by retailers/ authorized repairers.

SAFETY IN THE GARAGE

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

If the vehicle has been driven recently, do not touch the engine, exhaust, or cooling system components until the engine has cooled. Hot components may cause serious injuries.

Never leave the engine running when the vehicle is in a garage. Exhaust gases are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.

The jack is designed for wheel changing only. Never work beneath the vehicle with the jack as the only means of support. Always use correctly-rated vehicle support stands, before putting any part of the body beneath the vehicle. If the wheel changing jack breaks, the vehicle may cause serious injury or death.

Keep your hands and clothing away from drive belts, pulleys and fans. Some fans may continue to operate after the engine has stopped and may cause serious injuries.

Remove metal wristbands and jewelry before working in the engine compartment. Jewelry may trap the hands in the engine compartment which may cause serious injuries.

Do not touch electrical leads or components while the engine is running, or with the ignition switched on. Any moving component may cause serious injuries.

Do not allow tools or metal parts of the vehicle to make contact with the battery leads or terminals. Metal contact on electrical terminals may cause electric interference and may lead to serious injuries.

POISONOUS FLUIDS

Fluids used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should not be consumed or brought into contact with open wounds. Vehicle fluids may cause serious injuries or infection, which can result in death.

For safety, always read and obey all instructions printed on labels and containers.

USED ENGINE OIL

Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer of the skin.

Always wash thoroughly after contact.

Pollution of drains, waterways, or soil is illegal. Use authorized waste disposal sites to dispose of used oil and toxic chemicals.
