181 Off-road Driving R Steering WARNING DO NOT hold the steering wheel with your thumbs inside the rim - a sudden Kick of the wheel as the vehicle negotiates a rut or boulder could seriously injure them. ALWAYS grip the wheel on the outside of the rim (as shown) when traversing uneven ground. Ground clearance Dont forget to allow for ground clearance beneath the vehicle suspension components and under the front and rear bumpers. Note also that there are other parts of the vehicle which may come into contact with the ground - take care not to ground the vehicle. Ground clearance is particularly important at the bottom of steep slopes, or where wheel ruts are unusually deep and where sudden changes in the slope of the ground are experienced. ALWAYS attempt to avoid obstacles that may foul the vehicle.Electronic air suspension Select Off-road height to increase approach/ departure angles and ground clearance, see ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION (EAS), 162. Loss of traction If the vehicle is immobilised due to loss of wheel grip, the following hints could be of value: •Remove obstacles rather than forcing the vehicle to cross them. •Clear clogged tire treads. •Reverse as far as possible, then attempt an increased speed approach - additional momentum may overcome the obstacle. •Brushwood, sacking or any similar material placed in front of the tires may improve tire grip. CD Autochanger Playing CDs while negotiating arduous off-road terrain is not recommended. Severe jolting of the vehicle may disturb the operation of the autochanger, causing the disc to jump or skip.

Off-road Driving 182 L AFTER DRIVING OFF-ROAD WARNING Before rejoining the public highway, or driving at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph), consideration should be given to the following: •Wheels and tires must be cleaned of mud and inspected for damage - ensure that there are no lumps or bulges in the tires or exposure of the ply or cord structure. •If wheels and tires are not cleaned properly, damage to the wheels, tires, braking system and suspension components could occur. •Brake discs and callipers should be examined and any stones or grit that may affect braking efficiency removed. •The underside of the vehicle should be checked for damage, especially the suspension air springs and dampers. •Any damage to paint or protective coatings, should be rectified by a Land Rover Retailer as soon as possible. If you have any doubt whether the vehicle has been damaged, have the vehicle inspected by a Land Rover Retailer. SERVICING REQUIREMENTS Vehicles operated 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, 193 and contact a Land Rover Retailer for advice. After wading in salt water or driving on sandy beaches, use a hose to wash the underbody components and any exposed body panels with fresh water. This will help to protect the vehicles cosmetic appearance.
