Land Rover Discovery: Starting the engine
STARTING THE ENGINE
Never start the engine, or leave it running, when the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Exhaust gases are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.
If the engine fails to start, do not continue cranking, as this will discharge the battery. It may also damage the catalytic converter due to unburnt fuel passing through the exhaust.
Note: The Smart key may not be detected if it is placed within a metal container, or if it is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen, such as a smart phone, laptop (including when inside a laptop bag), games console, etc. Keep the Smart key clear of such devices when attempting Keyless entry or Keyless start backup.
To start the engine:
- Make sure a valid Smart key is inside the vehicle.
- Make sure Park (P) or Neutral (N) is selected.
- Automatic transmission: Press the
brake pedal firmly.
Manual transmission: Press the clutch pedal firmly.
- Press and release the engine START/ STOP button.
Note: For vehicles with a diesel engine, the delay period before cranking begins will be longer in low ambient temperatures. This is due to extended glow plug operation. During this extended delay, the brake pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch pedal (manual transmission) must remain firmly pressed.
Once the engine starts, release the brake pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch pedal (manual transmission), if it is safe to do so.
