Off-road code
Land Rover takes an active role in instructing drivers about environmentally responsible off-roading. Land Rover off-road code offers travellers helpful guidelines, such as:
• Being aware of different travelling regulations in different countries, and always seeking permission to cross private lands
• Sticking to existing routes
• Driving carefully to minimize erosion and damage
• Driving “as slow as possible and as fast as necessary”
• Engaging the difflock, if available, on low-traction surfaces to minimise wheel spin and road damage
• Proceeding slowly around animals, or switching off engine and waiting for them to pass
• Fully preparing your vehicle for the journey with appropriate tools and supplies
• Using eco-friendly cleaning materials, washing vehicles away from water sources –not in them – and taking all litter back with you
• Respecting the peace and tranquillity of others
• Doing a safety check when preparing to go back on the road, and driving slowly to minimise road-debris damage to other vehicles
