Towing & load carrying
•
Set the electronic air suspension to
’INHIBIT’select STANDARDride height
and maintain that setting whilst towing.
•
Ensure that the vehicle and trailer tyre
pressures are as recommended by the
trailer manufacturer.
•
•
Check the operation of trailer brakes and
lights.
For maximum stability, ensure that loads
are properlysecured and unable to shift
position during transit. Where possible,
position loads so that most of the weight
is placed close to the floor and
immediatelyabove or close to the trailer
axle(s).
TOWINGWITHYOUR VEHICLE
The torque ranges of Land Rover engines
allow maximum-weight loads to be pulled
smoothly from standstill, and reduce gear
changing on hills or rough terrain. The
suspension is designed to cope with a heavy
trailer load without upsetting the balance or
feel of the vehicle.
•
After loading the trailer checkthat the
weight on the hitch point (this is called the
draw-bar loading weight, or nose weight),
is in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
•
•
When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer, remember to include the weight of
the trailer PLUS the load.
WARNING
Where the load can be divided between
trailer and tow vehicle, loading more
weight into the vehicle than the trailer will
generallyimprove the stabilityof the
combination.
Only fit towing accessories that have been
designed and approved by Land Rover.
Ensure that the gross vehicle weight and
maximum rear axle weight are not
exceeded.
When preparing your vehicle for towing
always pay careful attention to the trailer
manufacturer’s recommendations and the
following guidelines.
