Sport mode and CommandShift™
1. To select sport mode, move the selector
lever from D to SPORT .
2. To use CommandShift, move the selector
lever forward to move up a gear, and back
to move down a gear.
Sport mode
When sport mode is selected ( 1) SPORT will be
displayed in the message centre, and the
selector indicator will illuminate. To return to automatic m
ode move the selector
lever back to the Drive (D) position. The D on
the selector display will illuminate to confirm
that automatic mode has been selected.
CommandShift™
When using CommandShift th e selected gear is
displayed in the message centre ( 3).
Moving away from a stand still can be achieved
using either first or second gear. This may
prove useful for certai n terrain, using second
gear for pulling away on snow for example.
Note: In order to protect the engine, the
transmission will automatically change up to
prevent over-revving, or down if the engine is
labouring.
Note: When in CommandShift, if the vehicle
comes to a complete stop the transmission will
remain in second gear. First gear can be
selected manually if required.
Electronic gear change strategies
In automatic, or sport modes (not available in
CommandShift) the gear change points will be
adapted to suit driving conditions.
Hill ascent, towing, and high altitude
The lower gears are selected, and maintained
for longer than usual. This helps overcome the
loss of momentum when towing, or ascending
hills. It also helps over come the loss of engine
torque when the vehicle is operating at high
altitudes.
Hill descent
With HDC selected in either automatic, or sport
modes, a low gear will be selected and
maintained to provide maximum engine
braking.

USING THE PARKING AID
PDC activation
Front PDC is activate d by pressing the PDC
button a short confirmation tone will be heard,
and the tell-tale will illuminate. The front
sensors will remain active as long as the
vehicle's speed does not exceed 16 km/h (10
mph).
If reverse gear is selected, front and rear
sensors are activated. In vehicles fitted with automatic transmission,
selecting neutral from re verse will keep front
and rear sensors active.
Front PDC deactivation
The PDC system can be deactivated by
pressing the PDC switch.
Towing
The rear sensors are au tomatically disabled
when a trailer is connected.
Sensor care
The sensors should be ke pt clean to maintain
accuracy and performance.
System fault
If a system fault is detected, a long
high-pitched tone will sound, and the switch
indicator lamp will fl ash. Contact your Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Parking aids may not detect moving
objects such as children and animals
until they are dangerously close.
Always use extreme caution when
manoeuvring.
CAUTIONS
Parking aids are for guidance only, and
are not intended to replace the driver's
visual checks for obstructions when
manoeuvring.
PDC sensors may not detect some
obstructions. Obstru ctions such as
narrow posts, small objects close to the
ground, and some objects with dark
non-reflective surfaces for example.
Systems which use the same frequency
band as the front PDC sensors may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.
E79872
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle do not aim
high pressure water je ts directly at the
sensors. Do not use abrasive materials
or hard/sharp objects to clean the sensors.
Only use approved vehicle shampoo.

TowingTOWING A TRAILER
Note: It is the driver's re sponsibility to ensure
that the towing vehicle, and the trailer are being
used correctly, and in accordance with
manufacturers recomm endations and any
applicable legislation.
Trailer electrical connection
Note: The rear parking sensors are
automatically disabled when the trailer
electrical conne ction is made.
The vehicle's electrical system has been
designed to support all towing requirements,
and comply with legal requirements for the
specific territory in which the vehicle is first
sold.
E82249
WARNINGS
Never exceed the maximum weights for
either the vehicle, or the trailer. Doing
so can cause accelerate d wear and damage to
the vehicle. It can also adversely affect vehicle
stability and braking, which in turn can lead to
loss of control and incr eased braking distance
resulting in a rollover or crash.
To preserve handling and stability, only
fit Land Rover approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes, or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose, and doing so
may cause them to fail resulting in injury or
death.
CAUTION
Only connect approved electrical circuits,
which are in good condition to the trailer
socket. Connecting incorrect , or faulty circuits
may seriously damage the vehicle's electrical
circuits.

LEVELLING
To maintain vehicle stability, it is essential that
the trailer is loaded so that it remains parallel to
the ground. This is partic ularly important when
towing twin axled trailers.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be pa rallel to the ground
when loaded.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 212).
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle
loading conditions. See WEIGHTS
(page 212).
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacture r's recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is
limited to 150 kg (330 lbs). •
If it is necessary to increase the nose
weight, up to a maximum of 250 kg (550
lbs) the vehicle load should be reduced
accordingly. This ensures that the GVW,
and maximum rear axle load are not
exceeded.
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer' s instructions for
guidance.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer lights.
E82250
WARNING
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.
