Land Rover Discovery: Brakes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while the vehicle is in motion.
- Never allow the vehicle to coast (freewheel) with the engine switched off. The engine must be running to provide full braking assistance. The brakes will still function with the engine off, but far more pressure will be required to operate them.
- If the red brake warning lamp
illuminates, safely bring the
vehicle to a stop, as quickly as
possible and seek qualified
assistance.
If the amber brake warning lamp illuminates, drive with care, avoiding heavy brake application and seek qualified assistance.
- Never place non-approved floor matting or any other obstructions under the pedals. This restricts pedal travel and braking efficiency.
Driving through heavy rain or water can have an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under such circumstances, it is recommended that you lightly apply the brakes intermittently, to dry the brakes.
