Sand Suitable for soft, predominantly dry,
yielding sandy ground, e.g. sand
dunes and deserts. If the sand is
damp or wet the Mud-Ruts program may be
more beneficial.
Parking aid
With the ignition on, the front and rear parking
sensors are activated whenever reverse gear is
selected. A short confirmation tone will sound
after one second.
If an obstruction is detected by the sensors, an
intermittent tone will sound (higher pitch for
objects detected by the front sensors). As the
vehicle moves closer to the obstruction the
intermittent tone in creases in frequency.
When the distance between the sensor and the
obstruction is less than approximately 30 cm
(1 foot) the tone becomes continuous.
The parking aid is automatically switched off
when the vehicle's forward speed exceeds 16
km/h (10 mph). Front parking aid - manual operation
When driving into a limited space, the front
parking aid can be ma nually activated by
pressing the switch on the facia. The switch
will illuminate and a short confirmation tone
will sound.
Wading
When wading through water, select the
program suitable for the surface beneath the
water.
The maximum depth of water should not
exceed 500 mm (19.7 inches).

Supplementary restraints systemPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Introduction
In the event of a collision the airbag control unit
monitors the rate of de celeration caused by the
collision. This information is then used to
determine whether airbags should be
deployed.
Airbag deployment is de pendent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
speed following the collision. The
circumstances affecting different collisions
(vehicle speed, angle of impact, type and size
of object hit, etc) vary considerably, and will
affect the rate of de celeration accordingly.
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
components include :-
• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Airbag modules.
• Seat belt pr e-tensioners.
• Airbag diagnostic control unit.
• Crash sensors.
• Airbag wiring harnesses.
• Seat occupancy sensor.
Note: The SRS is not designe d to operate as a
result of:
• Rear impacts.
• Minor front impacts.
• Minor side impacts.
• Heavy braking.
• Driving over bumps and pot holes.
Therefore, it follows that considerable
superficial damage to the vehicle can occur
without causing the airbags to deploy.

Wipers and washersWINDSCREEN WIPERS
Note: If the wiper blades do become stuck, or
jammed, an electronic cut-out may temporarily
halt the operation of the wipers. If this
happens, switch off the wipers and the ignition.
Clear any obstructions, and free the wiper
blades before attempting to switch on the
ignition.
Wiper operation
1. Rain sensor/intermitt ent variable delay.
2. Low speed wipe.
3. High speed wipe.
4. Single wipe, pull down and release to
operate.
Intermittent variable delay
The interval in between wipes can be adjusted
to suit the conditions. Rotate the control
upwards to increase th e time between wipes,
and down to decrease the time between wipes.
Speed-dependent mode
If the vehicle’s speed drops below 2 km/h (1.2
mph) with the wipers operating, the wiper
frequency automatically reduces. The wipers
will switch to the next lowest speed. When the
vehicle’s speed increases to over 8 km/h (5
mph), the original wiper speed setting is
restored automatically.
RAIN SENSOR
CAUTIONS
Do not operate the windscreen wipers on
a dry screen. The drag on the wiper
mechanism may cause damage.
In freezing, or very hot conditions ensure
that the wipers have not stuck to the
windscreen before operating. The drag on the
wiper mechanism ma y cause damage.
Remove any snow, ice, or frost, from the
windscreen, around the wiper arms and
blades, and the screen scuttle before operating
the wipers. Snow and ic e can cause damage to
the wiper mechanism if left uncleared.

The rain sensor is able to detect the presence
and amount of rain/dirt/snow on the
windscreen.
Operation
To use the rain sensitive wipers, move the
wiper stalk to position 1 rain
sensor/intermittent variable delay.
Adjusting the sensitivity
Rotate the control upwards to increase the
sensitivity, and down to reduce the sensitivity.
If the sensor detects co nstant rain the wipers
will operate continuously.
WINDSCREEN WASHERS
To operate the windscreen wash press the
button on the end of the wiper stalk. When the
button is released, the wi pers will complete two
additional strokes, and then park.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fifth
operation of the screen washers, or if ten
minutes have elapsed si nce the last operation
of the screen washers, they will operate again
immediately.
Note: The headlamps are washed alternately
to prevent the washer fluid from reducing the
light output for both headlamps at the same
time.

WARNING
Some screenwash products are
flammable, do not allow screenwash to
come into contact with sources of ignition.
CAUTION
Only screenwash products which are
approved for automotive use should be
used, and only in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.

Parking aidPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Park Distance Control (PDC) provides the
driver with informatio n on most obstructions,
and their distance from the vehicle, when
manoeuvring. PDC does this by using four
ultrasonic sensors on each bumper.
1. When objects are detected at this range the
PDC will emit a pulse tone which increases
in frequency as the vehicle gets closer to
the object.
2. When objects are sensed within this range,
approximately 30 cent imetres (12 inches)
the tone becomes continuous.

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.
