2006 LAND ROVER FRELANDER 2 automatic transmission

Hill descent control (HDC)

L
Hill descent control (HDC)PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
HDC operates in conjunction with ABS to
provide greater control when off-road,
particularly when desc ending steep slopes.
HDC operation is fully automatic when
engaged.
During a hill descent when driving off-road,
engine braking is used to control the speed of
descent. If engine braki ng alone is insufficient
to control the vehicle's speed, HDC will slow
the vehicle using the braking system. HDC will
control the descent speed relative to the gear
selected and accelerator position.
If the vehicle is fitted with a manual
transmission, HDC should onl y be used in first,
or reverse gears. If the vehicle is fitted with an
automatic transmission, HDC should only be
used in D, R , or CommandShift 1. When in D
the vehicle will select the most appropriate
gear.
Note: HDC is automatically selected by some
of the Terrain response special programs.
Gradient release control (GRC)
With HDC activated, if the vehicle is stopped on
a slope using the footbrake, GRC will become
active. When the footbrake is released GRC will
automatically delay the brake release to allow
take up of drive, and build up of engine torque.
The brakes will then gradually release to allow
the vehicle to move smoothly away under the
control of HDC.
GRC operates in forwar d and reverse, and
requires no driver intervention.
Before driving off-road
Before venturing off-road it is absolutely
essential that inexperi enced drivers become
fully familiar with the vehicle's controls. In
particular, CommandShift , Hill Descent Control
(HDC), and the Terra in Response system.
Basic information and off-road driving
techniques can be found in the off-road driving
handbook available on-line at
http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com
Off-road driver traini ng should be undertaken
by anyone intending to drive off-road. Training
is available at your nearest Land Rover
Experience centre. More details can be found at

Wheel changing safety
Before raising the vehicl e, or changing a wheel
ensure that you read, and comply with the
following warnings.
WARNINGS
Always find a safe pl ace to stop, off of
the highway and away from traffic.
Ensure that the vehicle is on firm level
ground.
Disconnect traile r/caravan from
vehicle.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Ensure that all passengers, and
animals, are out of the vehicle, and in a
safe place away from the highway.
Place a warning triangle at a suitable
distance behind th e vehicle, facing
towards oncoming traffic.
Ensure that the front wheels are in the
straight ahead positi on, and engage the
steering lock.
Apply the parking br ake, and engage
Park in vehicles fitted with an automatic
transmission.
Apply the parking br ake, and engage
1st or reverse gear in vehicles fitted
with a manual transmission.
Ensure that the jack is on firm level
ground.
Never place anything between the jack
and the ground, or the jack and the
vehicle.
Always chock the whee ls using suitable
wheel chocks. Place the chocks on both
sides of the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope is
unavoidable, place the chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite wheels.
Take care when lifting the spare wheel,
and removing the punctured wheel. The
wheels are heavy, and ca n cause injuries if not
handled correctly.
Remove the spare wheel prior to
jacking the vehicle. To avoid
destabilising the vehicle when raised.
Take care when loosening the wheel
nuts. The wheel brace may slip off if not
properly attached, and the wheel nuts may
give way suddenly. Either unexpected
movement may cause an injury.

Using the Land Rover tyre repair kit
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should
be made aware that a temporary repair has
been made to a tyre fitted to the vehicle. They
should also be made aware of the special
driving conditions im posed when using a
repaired tyre. Repair procedure
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the
maximum speed label. Attach the label to
the facia in the driver's field of view. Take
care not to obstruct any of the instruments
or warning lights.
2. Uncoil the compressor power cable and
the inflation hose.
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the sealant
bottle receiver, and the sealant bottle cap.
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the receiver
(clockwise) until tight.
• Screwing the bottle onto the receiver will
pierce the bottle's se al. Do not unscrew
a full, or partly us ed bottle from the
receiver. Doing so will result in the
sealant leaking from the bottle.
5. Remove the valve cap from the damaged
tyre.
6. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose, and c onnect the inflation
hose to the tyre valve. Ensure that the hose
is screwed on firmly.
7. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off ( O) position.
8. Insert the power cable connector into an
auxiliary power socket. See AUXILIARY
POWER SOCKETS (page 110).
9. Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed or
poorly ventilated area , start the engine.
10. Set the compressor switch to the on ( l)
position.
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.8 bar (26
lb/in²) and a maximum of 3.5 bar (51
lb/in²).
†
WARNINGS
Avoid skin contact with the sealant
which contains natu ral rubber latex.
Do not unscrew the sealant bottle from the
receiver until it is empty, as sealant will leak
out.
If the tyre inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 lb/in²) within seven
minutes, the tyre may have suffered excessive
damage. A temporary repair will not be
possible, and the vehicle should not be driven
until the tyre has been replaced.
CAUTIONS
Before attempting a tyre repair, ensure
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far
away from passing traffic as possible.
Ensure that the parki ng brake is applied,
and P is selected if an automatic
transmission is fitted.
Do not attempt to remove foreign objects
such as nails, screws, etc from the tyre.
Always run the engine when using the
compressor, unless the vehicle is in an
enclosed, or poorly ventilated space.
To prevent overheating do not operate
the compressor continuously for longer
than ten minutes.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
The recommended method for
recovery/transportation or the vehicle is on a
transporter or trailer de signed for that purpose.
Ensure that transporta tion is carried out by
suitably qualified persons , and that the vehicle
is secured correctly.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR
WHEELS
Note: The recommended recovery method is
to raise all four wheels.
Towing procedure
1. The vehicle should be parked on firm level
ground, with the park brake on, and the
gear selector in P if an automatic gearbox
is fitted.
2. Secure the towing attachment from the
recovery vehicle to the front towing eye.
See TOWING POINTS (page 207).
3. Dock the remote control, and switch on the
ignition. See GENERAL INFORMATION
(page 113).
WARNING
The front and rear lashing points must
only be used for securing the vehicle
during transportation. Use for any other
purpose may result in da mage to the vehicle,
and serious injury.
E81780
E81781
WARNINGS
Ensure that the remote control remains
docked whilst the vehicle is being
towed. Removing the remote control will
engage the steering lo ck, which will prevent
the vehicle from steering correctly.
If the engine cannot be run whilst the
vehicle is being towed, there will be no
power assistance for the steering or brakes.
This will result in grea ter effort being required
to steer or slow the vehicle, and greatly
increased stopping distances.
CAUTIONS
The vehicle should only be towed in a
forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground. Towing in a reverse direction with
two wheels on the ground will result in serious
damage to the transmission.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
maximum of 80 km (50 miles), at a
maximum speed of 80 k m/h (50 mph). Towing
for a greater distance, or at a higher speed may
result in serious dama ge to the transmission.
