Tyres
FLAT SPOTS DUE TO LONG TERM
PARKING
USING TRACTION DEVICES
Only use traction devices in heavy
snow conditions, on hard road
surfaces.
In order to minimise flat spotting, the tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be
returned to the specified running pressures
before driving.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must
be switched off when using traction
devices.
Never exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) when
traction devices are fitted.
AGE DEGRADATION
Never fit traction devices to a
temporary use spare wheel.
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
Land Rover approved traction devices may be
used to improve traction on a hard road surface
in heavy snow conditions. They should not be
used in off-road conditions.
If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices,
the following points must be observed:
WINTER TYRES
�
Only Land Rover approved traction devices
should be used on the vehicle. Only Land
Rover approved traction devices have been
tested to ensure that they do not cause
damage to the vehicle. Contact your Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
information.
In many countries legislation exists that
requires the use of winter tyres during
specified periods of the year.
M+S tyres have a recognised level of winter
performance and need not be replaced.
When changing to winter tyres, they must be
fitted to all four wheels.
�
The wheels and tyres fitted must conform
to the specifications of the original
equipment.
If the vehicle has TPMS but the winter use
wheels and tyres are fitted with standard
rubber valves, the TPM system will search for
a signal. When it finds no response, TYRE
PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
UNAVAILABLE will be displayed in the
message centre.
�
�
Do not fit traction devices to 18, 19 or
20inch diameter wheels.
Single sided Spike-spyder traction devices
or snow chains can be fitted to only the
front wheels of vehicles fitted with 17inch
diameter wheels.
When the original wheels are refitted, the
vehicle will need to travel a short distance
before the TPM system recognises the wheel
sensors. At that point, TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM AVAILABLE will be
displayed.
�
�
Always read, understand and follow the
traction device manufacturer's
instructions.
Avoid tyre/vehicle damage, by removing
the traction devices as soon as the
conditions allow.
