ECONOMICAL DRIVING
There are two main factors which influence fuel
economy, the way the vehicle is driven, and
maintenance.
Driving tips for economy
• Avoid unnecessary jour neys, especially
short stop-start trips.
• Accelerate smoothly and gently from a
stand still.
• Use the gears to avoid labouring, or
over-revving the engine.
• Allow time to brake gently and smoothly.
• Be aware of traffic and road conditions
ahead, and take action in time to avoid
hard braking or acceleration.
• When stationary apply the park brake, and
select neutral.
• Turn off the air conditioning when not
needed.
Maintenance and fuel economy
Regular servicing by a Land Rover
Dealer/Approved repairer, along with regular
checks by the driver are essential for vehicle
longevity and fuel economy.
The condition of the engine (oils, filters, spark
plugs, settings etc) tyre pressures, and wheel
alignment, will all have a bearing on fuel
economy. For this reason it is essential that the
vehicle is checked regularly by the driver, and
serviced by an approved Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer at the correct
intervals.
Note: If you are in any doubt about the
maintenance requirement s, intervals, or
checks required, contact your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised repairer for advice.

Tyre checks
Not all punctures result in the tyre deflating
immediately. Therefore, it is important to check
the tyres for damage and foreign objects,
regularly.
When driving, if a sudden vibration, or change
to the vehicle's handling is noticed, reduce
speed immediately. Do not brake hard, or make
any sudden manoeuvres or direction changes.
Drive slowly to an area off of the main highway
and stop the vehicle.
Note: Driving the vehicle to a safe area may
cause damage to the punctured tyre, but
occupant safety is far more important.
Inspect the tyres for signs of punctures,
damage, or under inflat ion. If any damage or
deformity is detected, the tyre should be
replaced. If a spare tyre is not available, then
the vehicle should be recovered to a tyre repair
centre, or Land Rover Dealer/Approved
repairer.
Note: The tyres should be checked
immediately after any off -road use, and prior to
using the vehicle on a public highway.
Replacement tyres
Ideally, tyres should be re placed in sets of four.
If this is not po ssible, replace the tyres in pairs
(front and rear). When tyres are replaced, the
wheels should always be re-balanced, and
alignment checked.
The correct tyre specific ation for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre information label.
WARNINGS
Do not fit cross-ply tyres.
Do not fit tubed tyres.
Do not swap tyres around the vehicle.
Tyres bed in to the specific
characteristics of each wheel position.
Swapping them around may affect the
vehicle's handli ng and traction.
Always fit replacement tyres of the
same type, and wher ever possible of
the same make and tread pattern.
Replacement wheels should be genuine
Land Rover parts. This will maintain the
designed driving charac teristics both on and
off road.
If the use of tyres not recommended by
Land Rover is unavoidable, ensure that
you read, and fully comply with the tyre
manufacturers instructi ons. Failure to do so
may lead to tyre failure due to incorrect fitment
or use.
