2022 Land Rover New Range Rover Exterior Lights

EXTERIOR LIGHTS OVERVIEW

The lighting system operates automatically depending upon the ambient lighting conditions. The system selects the appropriate lighting function, low beam or Daytime Running Light (DRL), for the conditions that the system detects. In some circumstances, it may be necessary for the vehicle user to manually override the automatic operation. Some manual operations are not possible due to vehicle activity or legislative requirements.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS CONDENSATION

Condensation in the headlights, turn signals, or rear lights are a natural phenomenon.

Condensation can occur under certain atmospheric conditions or after washing the vehicle. The performance and life expectancy of the lights is not affected.

Condensation should partially or completely clear, with regular use of the lights, within 48 hours of dry atmospheric conditions.

LED lights distribute less heat towards the outer lens than halogen or xenon lights. In extreme conditions, LED lights may take longer to clear, but this is not detrimental to the performance of the light.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL)

During normal daylight operation, the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) operate automatically, with the lighting control in the AUTO position.

The DRL switch on automatically under the following conditions:

• The engine is running.
• The gear selector is out of Park (P).
• The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is not applied. Market dependent.
• Auto lights are selected and high ambient light levels are detected.

Turn the lighting control to the OFF position to switch off the DRL. The DRL can be manually switched off only when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running. The DRL reactivates when the vehicle’s speed increases above 6 mph (10 km/h) or the vehicle covers a distance of 109 yards (100 meters). Repeat the process to switch off the DRL during a journey.

HEADLIGHT COURTESY DELAY

Headlight courtesy delay operates whenever the lighting control is in the AUTO position, ambient light levels are low, and the vehicle’s ignition is switched off.

The maneuvring lamps will automatically activate in dark ambient conditions at the start of a journey and during parking maneuvres when parking cameras are automatically activated or Reverse (R) gear is selected.
