Off-road Driving
Loss of traction
AFTER DRIVING OFF-ROAD
If the vehicle is immobilised due to loss of
wheel grip, the following hints could be of
value:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before rejoining the public highway, or
driving at speeds above 40 km/h,
consideration should be given to the
following:
Wheels and tyres must be cleaned of
mud and inspected for damage.
•
Avoid prolonged wheel spin; this will only
make matters worse.
•
Remove obstacles rather than forcing the
vehicle to cross them.
•
•
•
Clear clogged tyre treads.
Reverse as far as possible, then attempt an
increased speed approach - additional
momentum may overcome the obstacle.
•
If wheels and tyres are not cleaned
properly, damage to the wheels, tyres,
braking system and suspension
components could occur.
•
Brushwood, sacking or any similar material
placed in front of the tyres may improve tyre
grip.
•
Brake discs and callipers should be
examined and any stones or grit that
may affect braking efficiency removed.
CD Autochanger
Playing CDs while negotiating arduous off-road
terrain is not recommended. Severe jolting of
the vehicle may disturb the operation of the
autochanger, causing the disc to ‘jump’ or
SERVICING REQUIREMENTS
Vehicles operated in arduous conditions,
particularly on dusty, muddy or wet terrain, and
vehicles undergoing frequent or deep wading
conditions will require more frequent servicing.
See ‘OWNER MAINTENANCE’, page 138 and
contact a Land Rover dealer for advice.
‘
skip’.
After wading in salt water or driving on sandy
beaches, use a hose to wash the underbody
components and any exposed body panels with
fresh water. This will help to protect the
vehicle's cosmetic appearance.
