2023 Land Rover Discovery Sport 4X4 Owners Manual

• Avoid driving in floodwater or any flowing water.
• Wading should only be attempted if there are no alternative routes.
• Do not assume that using the wade sensing feature makes wading any less dangerous. The wade sensing feature only detects the immediate level of water touching the vehicle. The wade sensing feature cannot detect or predict the depth of water surrounding the vehicle or rapid increases in water level. Hence, the wade sensing feature cannot predict if it is safe to continue driving. The driver is fully responsible for assessing the safety of the driving conditions, potential hazards, and the route through the water.
• When entering the water from a steep slope, the water level may rise rapidly. The wade sensing feature may not be able to accurately warn the driver of the current water level.
• The wade sensing feature cannot detect accurate water levels if a layer of ice or snow is present on the surface of the water.
• The sensors for the wade sensing feature are located on the underside of the door mirrors. The sensors must be kept clean and clear of obstructions in order to operate correctly.
• The wade sensing feature will display false readings if the door mirrors are in the folded position.

WADE SENSING

The wade sensing feature is designed to help the driver when driving through water. The wade sensing feature calculates the depth of water adjacent to the vehicle. The touchscreen displays the results along with the maximum wading depth.

To enable the wade sensing feature, select the WADE SENSING option (1) from the 4X4i INFO screen. See 4X4i INFO.

The touchscreen and instrument panel display warning messages as the vehicle approaches its maximum wading depth. Warning tones accompany the warning messages.

If the wade sensing feature limitations are exceeded, the touchscreen image turns gray and the water level no longer displays.
