Hill Descent Control (HDC)
HDC operates in conjunction with the anti-lock
braking system to provide greater control in
off-road situations particularly when
descending severe gradients.
Press the switch (arrowed in
illustration) to se lect HDC. HDC can
be selected at speeds below 80
km/h (50 mph) but will not be fully active until
the vehicle speed reduc es below 50 km/h (30
mph), confirmed by a c ontinuously illuminated
HDC indicator in the instrument pack. Press the
switch again to deselect HDC.
Terrain Response system
The Terrain Response sy stem, if fitted, is
always active and cannot be switched off.
When the vehicle is st arted the system will
normally start in the General program.
Manual selection of a special program, by
rotating the knob, will pr ovide benefits in how
the vehicle can be driven over different
surfaces or terrains by automatically adjusting
the vehicle's drive and suspension systems.
It is recommended that a special program be
engaged whenever driving conditions could
become difficult, a nd cancelled once the
conditions for use are no longer present.
General Suitable for surfaces that match
typical road surfaces.
Grass-Gravel-Snow Suitable for surfaces which are firm
but have a slippery surface, e.g.
grass, snow, loose gravel, pebbles,
or icy conditions. If the gravel is deep, the Sand
program may be more beneficial.
Mud-Ruts Suitable for soft, muddy, uneven or
deeply rutted ground.

DATA RECORDING
Service data recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or
status of various syst ems and modules in the
vehicle such as engine, throttle, steering or
brakes.
In order to properly di agnose and service your
vehicle, Land Rover a nd service and repair
facilities may access vehicle diagnostic
information through a direct connection to
your vehicle.
Event data recording
Event data recorders are capable of collecting
and storing data during a crash or near-crash
event. The recorded information may assist in
the investigation of such an event. The
modules may record information about both
the vehicle and the oc cupants, potentially
including information such as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were buckled.
• How far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or the brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.
To access this information special equipment
must be connected directly to the recording
modules. Land Rover do not access event data
recorder information without obtaining
consent, unless pursuan t to court order or
where required by law enforcement, other
government authorities or third parties acting
with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the
information independe ntly of Land Rover.
DISABILITY MODIFICATIONS
Occupants with disabili ties which may require
modification of the vehi cle must contact a Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer before any
modifications are made.
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
WARNINGS
The fitting of non-approved parts and
accessories, or the carrying out of
non-approved alterations or
conversions, may be dangerous and could
affect the safety of th e vehicle and occupants
and also invalidate the terms and conditions of
the vehicle warranty.
Land Rover will not accept any liability
for death, personal injury or damage to
property which may occur as a direct
result of fitment of non-approved accessories
or the carrying out of non-approved
conversions to La nd Rover vehicles.
Land Rover strongly advise against
making any modifications to the
suspension or steering system. This
could seriously affe ct the handling and
stability of the vehicle leading to loss of control
or roll-over.
