Off-road driving
After wading
Drive the vehicle a short distance and apply
the footbrake to checkthat the brakes are fully
effective.
BIBSPOILER (if fitted)
The vehicle has a bib spoiler extension fitted
to the front bumper to improve air flow during
normal driving conditions. This MUSTbe
removed when considering serious off-road
driving.
DONOTrelyon the handbrake alone to hold
the vehicle stationaryuntil the transmission
has thoroughly dried out; in the meantime,
use wheel chocks or leave the vehicle parked
in gear.
The bib spoiler is in two parts and is attached
to the underside of the front bumper by six
spring clips and eight plastic rivets.
Remove any protective covering from in front
of the radiator grille.
To remove:
Using a screwdriver, remove the inner locking
pins from the studs, then remove the studs.
If the water was particularlymuddy, remove
any blockages (mud and leaves) from the
radiator and oil cooler (behind spoiler on left
hand side) to reduce the riskof overheating.
Slide the spring clips off the bib spoiler, then
separate the two halves of the spoiler.
Store all parts in a suitable container pending
refitment.
If deep water is regularlynegotiated, checkthe
transmission oils for signs of water
contamination; contaminated oil can be
identified through its ’milky’appearance. In
addition, checkthe air filter element for water
ingress, and replace if wet.
To refit:
Place one half of the bib spoiler against the
underside of the front bumper, installfour
studs and fit the locking pins and three spring
clips.
Vehicles required to undergo frequent or deep
wading conditions will require more frequent
servicing. See ’Owner maintenance’and
contact a Land Rover dealer for advice.
Engage the other half of the bib spoiler with
the first half, then fit the remaining studs and
spring clips, ensuring that the locking pins are
fitted to the studs.
If salt water is frequentlynegotiated,
thoroughly wash the underbody components
and exposed body panels, with fresh water.
SNOWCHAINS
Snow chains are NOTrecommended for
off-road use. For further information see
’Tyres’.
