Land Rover Defender: Sensors and cameras

When washing the vehicle, do not aim high pressure water jets directly at any of the sensors and cameras. Do not use abrasive materials or hard/sharp objects, to clean the sensors and cameras. Only use approved vehicle shampoo. Using unapproved cleaning equipment or method can cause damage to the sensors and cameras.

Park assist and parking aid sensors should be kept clean to maintain accuracy and performance.

Operate the rear screen wash to clean the rear camera lens.

If required, the cameras should be cleaned using a cloth moistened with a small amount of glass-cleaning product.

USING AN AUTOMATIC WASH

Commercially-operated, automatic car washes, jet washes, and power-operated mops are not recommended. Using such cleaning equipment can cause damage to the vehicle.

UNDER BODY MAINTENANCE

Regularly flush the under body with plain, clean water, and pay particular attention to areas where mud and debris collect.

If damage or corrosion are detected, have the vehicle checked by a Retailer/ Authorized Repairer as soon as possible.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

The high voltage system has no serviceable parts. Never disassemble, remove or replace high voltage components, cables or connectors.

Tampering with the high voltage system can cause severe burns or electric shock, which may result in serious injury or death. High voltage cables and connectors are coloured orange for identification purposes. If maintenance or repair is required, always consult a retailer/authorised repairer.

Do not use a high pressure washer or steam cleaner in the engine compartment.

Pressure washing has the potential to cause damage to certain engine components.

Make sure that the brake fluid reservoir is kept dry at all times. Only use a clean, dry cloth to clean the brake fluid cap and reservoir. Not doing so can cause damage to the vehicle.

Note: Pressure washing has the potential to damage high voltage electrical components and cables.
