Off-road driving

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
After driving off-road
Before rejoining the public highway, or
driving at speeds above 40 km/h (25
mph), consideration should be given to
the following:
• Wheels and tyres must be cleaned of
mud and inspected for damage -
ensure there are no lumps or bulges
in the tyres or exposure of the ply or
cord structure.
• Brake discs and calipers should be
examined and any stones or grit that
may affect braking efficiency
removed.
Servicing requirements
Vehicles operating 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’ and contact a Land Rover
dealer for advice.
In addition:
After wading in salt water or driving on
sandy beaches, use a hose to thoroughly
wash the underbody components and any
exposed body panels with fresh water.
This will help to protect the vehicle’s
cosmetic appearance.
