Wheels & Tyres
Wheels & TyresWHEELS & TYRES
WARNING ALWAYS use the same make and type of radial-ply tyres front and back. DO NOT use
cross-ply tyres, or interchange tyres from front to back. For optimum performance and handling ALWAYS replace tyres with the same make and type
as those fitted from new at the factory. If these tyres are not available, consult your retailer for advice on Land Rover approved alternatives. Failure to do so may adversely affect vehicle handling.
NEVER drive your vehicle if the tyres are badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the pressures are incorrect.
Incorrectly inflated tyres wear rapidly and can seriously affect the vehicle's safety and road handling characteristics.
Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless road wheels that will NOT accept inner tubes. DO NOT fit a tube tyre.
ONLY Land Rover approved wheel and tyre combinations should be fitted to the vehicle.

NOTE: When towing, the additional load imposed may cause the tyre maximum load rating to be exceeded. This is permissible provided the load rating is not exceeded by more than 15% and that road speeds are limited to 100 km/h and tyre pressures are increased by at least 21 kPa (3 lbf/in2).
NOTE: A range of accessory wheels and tyres is available for your Land Rover Discovery. Consult your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for a full description of all options.

Vehicle Weights
Vehicle WeightsVEHICLE WEIGHTS
NOTE: Axle weights are non additive; ie Maximum gross vehicle weight is not calculated by adding together maximum front and rear axle loads.The individual maximum axle weights and gross vehicle weight must not be exceeded.
Approximate unladen vehicle weight (full fuel tank, excluding options):
- Petrol models 1425 - 1660 kg- Diesel models 1555 - 1650 kg
Maximum gross vehicle weight:- 1.8 Petrol models 2040 kg
- 2.5 Petrol models 2060 kg
- 2.0 Diesel models 2080 kg
Maximum rear axle load:
- Petrol models 1120 kg- Diesel models 1120 kg
Maximum front axle load:- 1.8 Petrol models 1050 kg
- 2.5 Petrol models 1080 kg
- 2.0 Diesel models 1100 kg226
Towing Weight
Towing WeightTOWING WEIGHT
NOTE: If the trailer weight exceeds 1800 kg, the vehicle payload must be restricted (ie. to less than the Gross Vehicle Weight) to ensure the loaded combination is within the Gross Train Weight limit.
Maximum trailer weight:
- Petrol models 2000 kg- Diesel models 2000 kg
Maximum nose weight:- Petrol models 140 kg
- Diesel models 140 kg
Gross train weight (maximum weight of vehicle plus trailer):
- 1.8 Petrol models 3840 kg
- 2.5 Petrol models 3860 kg- 2.0 Diesel models 3880 kg
Max roof rack load - all models 75 kg
To increase stability, it is recommended that you adjust the nose weight to the maximum limit, when loading to the maximum trailer weight.227
Fuel Consumption
Fuel ConsumptionFUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing procedure (the new EC test procedure from Directive 93/116/EC), and produced in accordance with The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption (Amendment) Order 1996. Under normal use, a car's actual fuel consumption figures may differ from those achieved through the test procedure, depending on driving technique, road and traffic conditions, environmental factors, vehicle load and condition.
Fuel consumption figures
Urban cycle The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and consists of a series of accelerations, decelerations and periods of steady speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed attained during the test is 31 mph (50 km/h) with an average speed of 12 mph (19 km/h).
Extra-urban cycleThe extra urban test cycle is carried out immediately after the urban test. Approximately half of the test comprises steady-speed driving, while the remainder consists of a series of accelerations, decelerations and engine idling. The maximum test speed is 75 mph (120 km/h) and the average speed 39 mph (63 km/h). The test is carried out over a distance of 4.3 miles (7 km).
Combined The combined figure is an average of the urban and extra-urban test cycle results, which has been weighted to take account of the different distances covered during the two tests.
NOTE: These figures should not be compared with figures produced using the ECE/EEC procedure previously required by The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1983. Because of the changes in test procedure, even the urban figures would differ if the same car were subjected to both tests.

Appendices
AppendicesDECLARATIONS OF CONFORMITY
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONThe Declarations of Conformity detailed on the following pages are from manufacturers of RF (Radio Frequency) equipment, whose components are used in the manufacture of your Land Rover Freelander.
These manufacturers state that their components comply with relevant rules of the R & TTE ( Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Equipment) directive.
The directive requires the manufacturer of short range radio devices to self certify that RF parts fitted to Land Rover vehicles are fit for use and that the declarations are supplied with the vehicle documentation. If at a future date a technical inspection is required, the declarations will provide all necessary information.
NOTE: The Declarations of Conformity are published in the native language of the RF equipment manufacturer, in compliance with the R & TTE Directive.229
