HOW TO DRIVE OFF-ROAD
ADVENTURE WITH CONFIDENCE AND COMPOSURE
Think rugged terrain and steep descents are just for the experts? Think again. With good preparation, legendary Land Rover off-road technology and a bit of practice, anyone can head off the beaten track with confidence and composure.
MAINTAIN TRACTION ON HILLS
-
ASCENDING
When climbing muddy hills, remember that you’ll need more momentum to balance the decrease in traction. Always try to avoid wheel spin as it results in loss of momentum and can cause environmental damage. If the wheels start to spin or slide, ease off the accelerator until you feel the tyres regain grip. It’s important to keep the wheels rolling.
-
DESCENDING
On the way down, maintaining a steady speed is key. Hill Descent Control* takes the guesswork out of steep, slippery slopes by automatically braking to maintain a manageable speed.
APPROACH OBSTACLES DIAGONALLY
If you slide, steer downhill and gently apply the throttle. If you lose traction on your uphill wheels, stop immediately, reverse away and choose a more suitable route.
Keep an eye out for anything that could unbalance the vehicle, like rocks or potholes. Approach logs, rocky steps or ditches diagonally: you want three wheels on the ground at all times.
