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.

Wheels and tyres

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.
