WADING
If the water is likely to exceed 0,4 metre, 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.
• Ensure that the silt bed beneath the water is free of obstacles
and is firm enough to support the vehicle’s weight and provide
sufficient traction.
• Ensure that the engine air intake is clear of the water level.
• Select 1st 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.
Keep the doors fully closed at all times.
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 brakes are thoroughly dried out; in the meantime, leave
the vehicle parked in gear.
• 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 the transmission oils
for signs of water contamination - contaminated oil can be
identified by its ’milky’ appearance. In addition, check the air
filter element for water ingress and replace if wet, consult your
dealer if necessary.
WARNING!
The maximum advisable
wading depth is 0.4 metre.
Severe electrical damage
may occur if the vehicle
remains stationary for any
length of time when the
water level is above the
door sills.
Care Points .........
Vehicles required to undergo
frequent or deep wading
conditions will require more
frequent servicing. See
’Maintenance’
and contact a
Land Rover dealer for advice.
