Braking system
Additional operating information
• If the vehicle is brought to rest on a steep
slope which has a verylow-friction
surface, the vehicle may slide with the
wheels locked because there is no wheel
rotation to signalmovement to the ABS. If
this occurs, momentarilyrelease the
brakes (to permit some wheel rotation),
before re-applying them to allow ABS to
regain control. Where a slow descent is
necessary, engage a LOWrange gear with
the engine running to allow a controlled
descent (see ’Off-road driving’for further
information).
•
Under ABS control, heavybraking on a dry
road may produce tyre noise and slight
marking of the road surface. Neither need
cause concern.
•
Solenoid cycling may sometimes be heard
when driving on veryrough roads or
whilst ’feathering’(light braking) over
irregular or pitted surfaces. This is part of
the normal ABS function.
•
If excessive pedal travelis experienced,
full braking will stillbe available; push the
pedal through the free movement until
resistance is felt, then apply the necessary
force to obtain braking. However, as soon
as safetypermits, stop the vehicle and
seek qualified assistance before
WARNING
ABS is designed to operate only with
genuine Land Rover parts, and the tyres and
wheels specified in ’General data’. The
manufacturers cannot accept any
responsibility for inefficient operation of the
system, caused by modifications to the
vehicle, or the fitting of non-approved
components. Always consult your Land
Rover retailer for advice.
continuing.
•
On soft surfaces such as powdery snow,
sand or gravel, and also on veryrough
surfaces, braking distances with ABS may
be greater than those achievable with a
non-ABS system. This is because the
naturalaction of locked wheels on soft
surfaces is to build up a wedge of material
in front of the wheels which assists in
stopping (however, ABS will continue to
provide better stabilityand steering
control).
