    198 WADING
    WARNING
    The maximum advisable wading depth is
    20 inches (0,5 m).
    Severe electrical damage may occur if the
    vehicle remains stationary for any length of
    time when the water level is above the door
    sills.
    If the water is likely to exceed 20 inches
    (0,5 m), the following precautions should be
    observed:
    · Fix a plastic sheet in front of the radiator
    grille to prevent water from soaking the
    engine and mud from blocking the
    radiator.
    · Remove the CD autochanger (if fitted).
    · Ensure that the silt bed beneath the water
    is free of obstacles and firm enough to
    support the vehicles weight and provide
    sufficient traction.
    · Ensure that the engine air intake is clear of
    the water level.
    · Select a low gear and maintain sufficient
    throttle to prevent the engine from stalling.
    This is particularly important if the exhaust
    pipe is under water.
    · Drive slowly into the water and accelerate
    to a speed which causes a bow wave to
    form; then maintain that speed.
    At all times, keep all the doors fully closed.After wading
    ·Drive the vehicle a short distance and
    apply the foot brake to check that the
    brakes are fully effective.
    · DO NOT rely on the handbrake to hold the
    vehicle stationary until the transmission
    has thoroughly dried out; in the meantime,
    leave the vehicle with the gearbox selector
    moved to park (P).
    · Remove any protective covering from in
    front of the radiator grille.
    · If the water was particularly muddy,
    remove any blockages (mud and leaves)
    from the radiator to reduce the risk of
    overheating.
    · If deep water is regularly negotiated, check
    all oils for signs of water contamination -
    contaminated oil can be identified through
    its milky appearance. In addition, check
    the air filter element for water ingress and
    replace if wet - consult a Land Rover
    dealer if necessary.
    · If salt water is frequently negotiated,
    thoroughly wash the underbody
    components and exposed body panels
    with fresh water.
    NOTE:Vehicles required to undergo frequent
    or deep wading conditions will require more
    frequent servicing. Contact a Land Rover
    dealer for advice.
