BEFORE YOU DRIVE
Off-road Driving
Before venturing off-road, it is absolutely
essential that inexperienced drivers become
fully familiar with the vehicle's controls, in
particular the transfer gear switch and Hill
Descent Control (HDC), and also study the
off-road driving techniques described on this
and the following pages.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•
•
DO NOT drive if the fuel level is low -
undulating ground and steep inclines
could cause fuel starvation to the
engine and consequent damage to the
catalytic converter.
DO NOT stop the engine while driving
through water (wading) - water ingress
to the exhaust tailpipe could result in
severe damage to the catalytic
converter.
WARNING
Off-road driving can be hazardous!
•
DO NOT take unnecessary risks and be
prepared for emergencies at all times.
•
•
As a precaution against accidental loss,
remove the towing eye cover and the
front spoiler before driving off-road
(see ‘TOWING EYES’, page 246).
•
Your Range Rover has a higher ground
clearance and hence a higher center of
gravity than an ordinary passenger car. An
abrupt manoeuver at an inappropriate
speed or on an unstable surface could
cause the vehicle to go out of control or
rollover.
To prevent damage, and improve
departure angles, remove and stow any
towing equipment fitted to the vehicle.
•
Familiarize yourself with the
recommended driving techniques in order
to reduce risks to yourself, your vehicle
AND your passengers.
•
•
Always ensure that seat belts are worn for
personal protection while driving on-road
or off-road.
DO NOT drive off-road alone or without
letting someone know where you are going
and when you plan to return.
