3. Clean the filler cap before removing to 

prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.

4. Remove the filler cap.

5. The brake fluid level should be between the 

MIN and the MAX marks.

The fluid level may drop slightly during normal 
use as a result of brake pad wear but should 
not be allowed to drop below the MIN mark. 

Topping up the fluid

1. Top-up the reservoir to the MAX mark 

using Shell DOT4 ESL brake fluid. If Shell 
DOT4 ESL is not available, a low viscosity 
DOT4 brake fluid that meets ISO 4925 
class 6 and Land Rover LRES22BF03 
requirements may be used.

2. Replace the cap.

3. Fit the reservoir cover in the reverse order 

of removal.

POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK

Checking the fluid level

Check and top-up the fluid with the vehicle on 
level ground, engine switched off, and the 
system cold. Ensure that the steering wheel is 
not turned after stopping the engine.

CAUTIONS

Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. 
Soak up any spillage with an absorbent 

cloth immediately and wash the area with a 
mixture of car shampoo and water.

Only use new fluid from an airtight 
container (fluid from opened containers 

or fluid previously bled from the system will 
have absorbed moisture, which will adversely 
affect performance, and must not be used).

E84162

WARNINGS

Power steering fluid is highly toxic. 
Keep containers sealed and out of reach 

of children. If accidental consumption of fluid 
is suspected, seek medical attention 
immediately.

If the fluid comes into contact with the 
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with 

plenty of water.

CAUTIONS

The engine must not be started if the fluid 
level has dropped below the MIN mark. 

Severe damage to the steering pump could 
result.

Seek qualified assistance immediately if 
there is a noticeable drop in the fluid 

level. Severe damage to the steering pump 
could result.

If fluid loss is slow, the reservoir may be 
topped-up to the upper level mark to 

enable the vehicle to be driven to a repair 
facility for examination. However, it is 
recommended that you seek qualified 
assistance before driving the vehicle.

The level of fluid can be seen through the 
translucent body of the reservoir.

The fluid level should be between the MIN and 
the MAX marks.

Topping up the fluid

1. Clean the filler cap before removing to 

prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.

2. Remove filler cap.

3. Using Pentosin CHF202 fluid, top-up the 

reservoir until the fluid level is between the 
MIN and MAX marks.

4. Replace filler cap.

WASHER FLUID CHECK

If the quantity of fluid remaining in 
the washer reservoir drops to less 
than one litre, an amber warning 

indicator in the instrument pack will illuminate 
or the message LOW WASHER FLUID will be 
displayed in the message centre.

CAUTIONS

Power steering fluid will damage painted 
surfaces. Soak up any spillage with an 

absorbent cloth immediately and wash the 
area with a mixture of car shampoo and water.

Do not fill the reservoir above the MAX 
mark.

E83619

WARNINGS

Some screen washer products are 
inflammable, particularly if high or 

undiluted concentrations are exposed to 
sparking. Do not allow screen washer fluid to 
come into contact with naked flames or 
sources of ignition.

If the vehicle is operated in 
temperatures below 4°C (40°F), use a 

washer fluid with frost protection. In cold 
weather, failure to use a washer fluid with frost 
protection, could result in impaired vision and 
increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

CAUTIONS

Do not use an antifreeze or vinegar/water 
solution in the washer reservoir - 

antifreeze will damage painted surfaces, while 
vinegar can damage the windscreen washer 
pump.

Body panels may suffer discolouration as 
a result of screen washer fluid spillage. 

Take care to avoid spillage, particularly if an 
undiluted or high concentration is being used. 
If spillage occurs, wash the affected area 
immediately with water.

The washer reservoir supplies both front and 
rear screen washer jets and headlamp washer 
jets. 

Check and top-up the reservoir level at least 
every week. Always top-up with screen washer 
fluid to prevent freezing.

Operate the washer switches periodically to 
check that the nozzles are clear and properly 
directed.

Topping up the fluid

1. Clean the filler cap before removing to 

prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.

2. Remove filler cap.

3. Top-up the reservoir until the fluid is 

visible in the filler neck.

4. Replace filler cap.

Washer reservoir capacity
• Models without headlamp wash - 3.1 litres 

(5.45 pints).

• Models with headlamp wash - 5.8 litres 

(10.2 pints).
