Change a tire on a Land Rover

 

  • Park your car on a level surface and set the parking brake
  • Loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire using a lug wrench
  • Jack up the car and place it on jack stands (if you don’t have jack stands, you can use bricks or rocks)
  • Remove the lug nuts completely and take off the tire
  • Install the new tire and replace the lug nuts in reverse order of how you took them off
  • Lower your car to the ground and tighten the lug nuts using a torque wrench

 

Jumpstart a Land Rover

  • Park the car on a level surface and turn off the engine
  • Open the hood and remove the battery cover
  • Loosen the negative terminal clamp with a wrench and disconnect it from the battery post
  • Connect the jumper cables to both terminals of the battery (red to positive, black to negative)
  • Have someone start the engine of another car and drive it around for a few minutes
  • Reconnect the negative terminal clamp to the battery post and replace the battery cover

 

Using Land Rover 4 Wheel Drive System

  • The four-wheel drive system on a Land Rover is designed to help you get through difficult terrain and weather conditions
  • There are three different settings – high range, low range, and reverse – that you can use depending on the situation
  • In high range, the Land Rover will drive like a regular car; in low range, the car will be more stable and have more power for climbing hills or crossing rough terrain; and in reverse, the car will back up at a slower speed
  • It’s important to know how to use the four-wheel drive system properly so you can stay safe while driving
  • Practice using it in different scenarios so you’re familiar with how it works
