Driving Techniques
WADING
After wading
•
Drive the vehicle a short distance and apply
the foot brake to check that the brakes are
fully effective.
WARNING
The maximum advisable wading depth is
0,5
m.
DO NOT rely on the handbrake to hold the
vehicle stationary until the transmission has
thoroughly dried out; in the meantime, leave
the vehicle parked in gear (‘P’ for automatic
gearbox vehicles).
•
Severe electrical damage may occur if the
vehicle remains stationary for any length of
time when the water level is above the door
sills.
•
•
Remove any protective covering from in
front of the radiator grille.
If the water is likely to exceed 0,5 m, the
following precautions should be observed:
If the water was particularly muddy, remove
any blockages (mud and leaves) from the
radiator to reduce the risk of overheating.
•
Fix a plastic sheet in front of the radiator
grille to prevent water from soaking the
engine and mud from blocking the radiator.
•
If deep water is regularly negotiated, check
all oils for signs of water contamination -
contaminated oil can be identified through
its ‘milky’ appearance. In addition, check the
air filter element for water ingress and
replace if wet - consult a Land Rover dealer
if necessary.
•
•
Remove the CD autochanger*.
Ensure that the silt bed beneath the water is
free of obstacles and firm enough to
support the vehicle's weight and provide
sufficient traction.
•
•
Ensure that the engine air intake is clear of
the water level.
If salt water is frequently negotiated,
thoroughly wash the underbody
components and exposed body panels with
fresh water.
•
Select a low gear and maintain sufficient
throttle to prevent the engine from stalling.
This is particularly important if the exhaust
pipe is under water.
NOTE: Vehicles required to undergo frequent or
deep wading conditions will require more
frequent servicing. Contact a Land Rover dealer
for advice.
•
Drive slowly into the water and accelerate to
a speed which causes a bow wave to form;
then maintain that speed.
At all times, keep all the doors fully closed.
