Brakes
R
BrakesPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first 800
km (500 miles) to avoi d then need for heavy
braking.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
those circumstances it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brak es intermittently to
dry the brakes.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braki ng System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
During emergency brak ing conditions ABS
constantly monitors the speed of each wheel.
ABS varies the brake pressure to individual
wheels, according to the grip available. The
constant alteration of brake pressure can be
felt as a pulsing sensat ion through the brake
pedal. This is not a cause for concern, as it is
designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS
is operating.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates, driv e with extra
caution, avoid heavy braking where
possible, and seek qualified assistance as soon
as possible.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can re sult in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes will still
function with the engine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of brak ing distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface, aquaplaning on water for
example.
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, paying partic ular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

ABS and off-road driving
ABS will operate when driving off-road,
however it may be unw ise to rely on it's
assistance under some conditions.
Stopping distances will be increased when
travelling over rough, or bumpy terrain.
Soft surfaces
On soft or deep surfaces such as powdery
snow, sand, or gravel, the braking distance
required will be increased. This is because the
natural action of a lock ed wheel (which cannot
happen when ABS is operating) is to form a
wedge of surface material in front of the wheel,
which reduces the stopping distance.
Steep slopes
If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery
slope, it may begin to slide even with the
brakes applied. This is because without wheel
rotation the ABS cannot determine vehicle
movement.
To counteract this, briefl y release the brakes to
allow some wheel rota tion. Then re-apply the
brakes to allow ABS to gain control.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, EBA
automatically boosts the braking force to it's
maximum in order to bring the vehicle to a halt
as quickly as possible. If the driver applies the
brakes slowly, but condi tions mean that ABS
operates on the front wheels, EBA will increase
the braking force in order to apply ABS control
to the rear wheels.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
A fault with the EBA system is
indicated by the red brake warning
indicator illuminating.
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
EBD controls the balanc e of braking forces
supplied to the front and rear wheels, in order
to maintain maximum braking efficiency.
If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in
the vehicle for example) the EBD will reduce the
braking force applied to the rear wheels. If the
vehicle is heavily laden then EBD will increase
the braking force to the rear wheels.
A fault with the EBD system is
indicated by the red brake warning
indicator illuminating.
PARKING BRAKE
Parking on a slope
Facing uphill
If the vehicle is parked facing uphill, select first
gear (manual gearbox), or Park (automatic
gearbox), and turn the steering wheel so that
the front wheels face away from the kerb.
Facing downhill
If the vehicle is parked facing downhill, select
reverse gear (manual gearbox), or Park
(automatic gearbox), and turn the steering
wheel so that the front wheels face towards the
kerb.

Hill descent control (HDC)
R
USING HDC
Selecting HDC
HDC can be selected at speeds below 80 km/h
(50 mph). To select HDC, press and release the
HDC on/off switch.
The green HDC indicator will
illuminate continuous ly at speeds
below 50 km/h (30 mph) to indicate
that HDC is fully active.
If the vehicle speed ex ceeds 80 km/h (50 mph)
HDC will disengage, and the HDC indicator will
extinguish.
If HDC has been selected, and the vehicle
speed rises above 50 km/h (30 mph) HDC is
suspended, and the HDC indicator will flash. A
message will appear in the message centre to
confirm the suspension of HDC.
HDC operation
With HDC engaged, the speed of descent can
be altered using the cruise control steering
wheel switches. + increases the speed, and —
decreases the speed.
To increase speed pr ess, and hold, the + switch
until the desired speed is achieved. When the
switch is released, the speed will be
maintained.
To decrease speed press, and hold, the —
switch until the desired speed is achieved.
When the switch is rele ased, the speed will be
maintained.
To increase or decrease speed gradually, tap
the + or — switch as required. Each tap of the
switch will increase, or decrease the speed in
increments of 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph). The
accelerator pedal can also be used to increase
speed, up to the threshold in each gear.
Note: Each gear has a pre-determined
minimum speed.
Descent speed will only increase on a slope
steep enough to pr ovide additional
momentum. Therefore, use of the + switch on
a gentle slope may not increase the speed.
When using HDC in vehicles fitted with a
manual transmission, depressing the clutch
pedal will prevent HDC from controlling the
speed of descent.

Stability control

L
Stability controlPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
DSC has two main functions.
Firstly, if a wheel, or wheels, loose traction
when accelerating, it enhances Traction
Control by reducing engine torque, and
applying braking force to individual wheels.
This further improves the vehicle's ability to
pull away on slippery, or loose surfaces, and
reduces the likelihood of wheel spin when
cornering.
Secondly, DSC will apply braking force to
individual wheels in orde r to maintain vehicle
stability when cornering, changing lanes
suddenly, or manoeuvring in an emergency.
This will help to keep the vehicle on the driver's
intended path, rather than over, or under
steering. 1.
Vehicle fitted with DSC.
2. Vehicle without DSC.
Roll stability control (RSC)
RSC works in conjunction with DSC to try and
prevent vehicle roll-over. If the system senses
that the vehicle is approaching roll-over it will
reduce engine power and use the ABS system
to reduce the chance of roll-over.
WARNING
DSC is unable to compensate for driver
errors.
It is the driver's responsibility to drive with due
care and attention, in a manner which is safe
for their vehicle, it's oc cupants, and other road
users.
WARNING
No electronic system can remove the
need for safe drivin g practice. RSC can
help to maintain control of the vehicle.
It cannot regain control of the vehicle if it has
been lost, or overcome driver errors. Always
drive with due consideration for the prevailing
road and weather conditions.

Maintenance
R
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissions, engi ne performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes and four wheel drive, it is essential that
any dynamometer testing is carried out only by
a qualified person, familiar with the
dynamometer testing an d safety procedures
practised by Land Rove r Dealers/Authorised
Repairers.
