2023 Land Rover Discovery Sports CRUISE CONTROL

CRUISE CONTROL SAFETY

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using cruise control. Failure to use cruise control safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

WARNING
The driver must always make sure that a safe speed is maintained within the speed limit, taking into account traffic and road conditions. Driving at unsafe speeds increases the risk of an accident.

WARNING
In certain conditions, such as a steep downhill slope, the vehicle’s speed may exceed the set cruising speed. Driver intervention may be required. Driving at speeds above the set cruising speed may infringe on local laws.

WARNING
Do not use cruise control in heavy traffic, or conditions where a constant road speed cannot be safely maintained. For example, cruise control should not be used on roads that are winding, wet with rain or snow, slippery, or unpaved.

USING CRUISE CONTROL

WARNING

Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See CRUISE CONTROL SAFETY.

Cruise control allows the vehicle to automatically maintain a set vehicle speed. Controls mounted on the steering wheel are used to operate the system. The driver can also intervene, at any time, by using the brake or accelerator pedals.

Speed control switch and RES button:

Move the switch upward to select SET+.

Move the switch downward to select SET-.

Press the button to select RES.
CAN cancel button.
LIM button.

NOTES
Do not use cruise control when driving off-road.

Press the LIM button (3) to toggle between cruise control and speed limiter. The instrument panel displays the information lamp for the selected system. See SPEED LIMITER (GREEN) and CRUISE CONTROL (GREEN).

While driving at the desired speed, briefly move the speed control switch (1) upward to the SET+ position to activate cruise control. The instrument panel displays an information lamp to confirm that the system is operational. See CRUISE CONTROL (GREEN)

Cruise control icon.

The cruise control icon on the steering wheel controls also illuminates to confirm that the system is operational.

Move the speed control switch upward to the SET+ position to increase the set speed:

A single movement of the switch increases the vehicle’s speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).
Hold the speed control switch in the SET+ position to increase the vehicle’s speed by 5 mph (10 km/h).

Alternatively, press the accelerator pedal to increase the set speed. When the new desired speed is reached, move the speed control switch upward briefly to the SET+ position.

NOTES
Cruise control cancels if the accelerator pedal is pressed to override the system for more than one minute.

Move speed control switch downward to the SET- position (1) to reduce the set speed:

A single movement of the switch reduces the vehicle’s speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).
Hold the speed control switch in the SET- position to reduce the vehicle’s speed by 5 mph (10 km/h).

Press the CAN button (2) to cancel cruise control. The set speed is retained in the system’s memory until the vehicle’s ignition is switched off.

Press the RES button (1) to resume the set speed from the system’s memory.

WARNING
The RES button should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed and intends to return to it. Pressing the RES button inadvertently may lead to a loss of control of the vehicle, vehicle damage, or personal injury.

To activate the cruise control system when the vehicle is stationary:

Press and hold the brake pedal.
Select Drive (D) or Sport (S) using the gear selector.
If the set speed has already been set, press the RES button to recall the set speed.
If the set speed has not already been set, move the speed control switch to the SET+ position and release to initially select 10 mph (16 km/h).
Use the speed control switch to adjust the desired set speed.
Release the brake pedal. The vehicle pulls away from stationary to the set speed.

CRUISE CONTROL LIMITATIONS

The cruise control:

Set speed cannot be lower than 10 mph (16 km/h).
Remains active until the vehicle’s speed drops below 10 mph (16 km/h).

Cruise control does not operate when:

The speed limiter or adaptive speed limiter is in operation. When the vehicle is first switched on, the vehicle reverts to whichever system was used previously.
The brake pedal is pressed.
Neutral (N), Reverse (R) or Park (P) is selected.
The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied.
