Operation Manual

Towing & load carrying

Coupled braking systems
In order to tow a trailer with a weight in
excess of 3,500 kg, the vehicle must be
adapted to operate a coupled brake system. If
this adaptation is carried out, the vehicle
identification number plate (VIN) must be
changed to show the increased train weight.
Revised VIN plates may be obtained from
Land Rover; these will be issued subject to
satisfactory proof that the vehicle has been
fitted with an approved conversion.
NOTE: Above 300 metres (1,000 feet) the
effects of altitudecan adversely affect engine
performance and also causeoverheating.
Trailer socket
When the engine is running, power
consumption from trailer socket must NOT
exceed 5 amps.
ROOF RACK
ALWAYS use an approved roof rack and
follow the manufacturers’ fitting instructions
carefully. A full list of all available accessories
is available from your Land Rover dealer.
WARNING
ALWAYS consult your dealer for advice
regarding the approval, suitability,
installation and use of any parts or
accessories before fitting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• The MAXIMUM roof rack load is
150 kg.
• A loaded roof rack can reduce the
stability of the vehicle, particularly
when cornering and encountering
cross winds.
• All loads should be evenly
distributed, and secured within the
periphery of the rack.
• Always secure the load to the side
rails, not just to the cross rails.
• Driving off-road with a loaded roof
rack is not recommended. If it is
necessary to stow luggage on the
roof rack while driving off-road, all
loads MUST be removed before
traversing side slopes.
• Only fit roof racks that have been
designed for your vehicle. If in
doubt, consult your dealer.
