2023 Land Rover RANGE ROVER VELAR 4X4
4X4I OVERVIEW
WARNING
Do not operate the touchscreen while the vehicle is moving. Doing so may cause driver distraction, leading to a loss of vehicle control. A loss of vehicle control could cause vehicle damage, serious injury, or death.
4x4i allows the user to view off-road information via the touchscreen or the instrument panel.
To view off-road information:
Touch the VEHICLE icon on the lower touchscreen.
Touch the 4x4i icon.
4x4i comprises the following features:
- 4X4i INFO. See 4X4i INFO.
- WADE SENSING. See WADE SENSING.
- TR INFO. See TR INFO.
4X4I INFO
The 4X4i INFO screen displays the following information:
- Vehicle roll.
- Active off-road driving systems.
- Vehicle pitch.
- Bearing.
- Camera icons.
- Wheel spin status.
- Differential lock status.
- Suspension movement.
- Altitude.
VEHICLE PITCH AND ROLL:
WARNING
Do not exceed the vehicle’s limits and capabilities. Vehicle damage, serious injury, or death may result.
CAMERA:
Touch the camera icon to display the off-road camera system on the touchscreen. See CAMERA SYSTEM OVERVIEW.
NOTES
The parking aid sensors are disabled if Reverse (R) is selected.
WHEEL SPIN STATUS:
The wheel spin arrows change size according to the amount of traction being lost:
- A small arrow indicates a low level of wheel spin.
- A medium arrow indicates a medium level of wheel spin.
- A large arrow indicates a high level of wheel spin.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK STATUS:
The differential lock and unlock icons indicate if a differential is locked or unlocked. A status bar around the icon indicates the amount of lock being applied.
SUSPENSION MOVEMENT:
The suspension movement icons change color incrementally to represent suspension articulation. The associated wheel changes color when the suspension reaches its travel limit. See ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION OVERVIEW.
WADE SENSING SAFETY
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before wading. Failure to follow the guidance could result in vehicle damage, serious injury, or death.
WARNING
- 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
WARNING
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before using the wade sensing feature. See WADE SENSING SAFETY.
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.
NOTES
The wade sensing feature disables the parking aid and auto stop/start systems.
WADE SENSING LIMITATIONS
The wade sensing feature cannot be enabled if the All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) system is enabled.
Wade sensing operation is suspended if:
- The vehicle’s speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
- The slope on which the vehicle is traveling exceeds 10º.
Wade sensing operation cancels if the vehicle’s speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h) for 30 seconds.
CAUTION
Prolonged wading may result in water ingress into the vehicle.
TR INFO
The TR INFO screen displays further information on the selected terrain response program. See TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION.
