Off-road Driving Fragile Earth Off-Road Code

Land Rover take pride in their environmental policies. These policies extend to the use of our vehicles, and the impact that they have on our environment.

  • Rights of access vary from country to country. Do not assume they will be the same as back home, always check. Where required seek permission to cross/access private land.
  • Follow existing routes wherever possible.
  • Respect the peace and tranquillity of others.
  • Avoid imposing your presence on other road/track users.
  • Drive carefully to minimise erosion and damage to the land. Avoid causing ruts as they can form channels which lead to water erosion.
  • Always repair any damage caused to the surface that has been driven over.
  • ‘As slowly as possible, as fast as necessary’ will get you through most obstacles and minimise environmental impact.
  • If your vehicle is equipped with a differential lock, ensure that it is engaged before venturing onto low traction surfaces (mud, sand, snow etc). If your vehicle is equipped with Terrain Response, engage the appropriate mode.
  • Animals/livestock can be startled by vehicles. Be prepared to proceed slowly, or switch your engine off and wait for them to move off.
  • Ensure that your vehicle is properly maintained, equipped, and supplied for the journey.
  • Do not allow any vehicle fluids to contaminate water courses. If your vehicle is leaking any fluid the leak should be repaired before venturing off-road.
  • Do not leave litter behind.
  • Avoid cutting/removing any vegetation from your route or the surrounding area.
  • Ensure that you are familiar with any codes of conduct, by-laws, or restrictions for use of the area.
  • Take extra care to avoid sparks or flames near dry vegetation.
  • Do not park your vehicle in long grass or other vegetation following a journey. The heat from the exhaust can be sufficient to start a fire.
  • Only clean your vehicle in an area approved for the washing of vehicles.
  • Be aware that diseases can be transported from one area to another by vehicles.
