Land Rover Defender: Maintenance and service

MAINTENANCE SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

Climatic and operating conditions affect maintenance requirements to a large extent. Therefore, we recommend that you contact a Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) retailer/authorized repairer about the determination of maintenance intervals.

Vehicles operating under arduous conditions, e.g., frequent short trips, off-road use, trailer towing and frequent starts below freezing, will require more frequent servicing. Under these circumstances, the maintenance intervals should be cut in half.

Performance of recommended maintenance is not required to retain eligibility for the emission warranty or manufacturer recalls.

SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

Routine services must be carried out throughout the life of the vehicle. All vehicles have a service interval indicator in the instrument panel. When a service is required, SERVICE is displayed in the instrument panel when the engine Start/ Stop button is pressed.

SERVICE is displayed in the instrument panel. The instrument panel also displays when the next service is due, based on actual time or distance traveled (whichever occurs first).

On completion of a service, the instrument panel countdown feature will be reset.

Service schedules for arduous operating conditions (routine stop and go driving, extreme temperatures, dusty conditions, off-road driving, and/or frequent trailer towing) are not displayed in the instrument panel.
