2022 Land Rover Range Rover Exterior Lights

LIGHTING CONTROL

1. Neutral position of the lighting control: The lighting system operates automatically, dependent on the ambient level of light. During daylight, the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) automatically switch on. During night time the headlight switches on automatically. Rotate the lighting control to the required position and release, to manually switch on any lighting functions. When released, the lighting control returns to the neutral position.
2. Side lights: Rotate the lighting control to this position to switch the side lights on. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates. See SIDE LIGHTS (GREEN).
3. Headlights OFF: Rotate the lighting control to this position to switch the headlights off.
4. Headlights: Rotate the lighting control to this position to switch the headlights on.
5. AUTO: Rotate the lighting control to this position to select auto lights. Selecting AUTO causes the lighting system to operate according to ambient conditions. Headlight courtesy delay, Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA) and wiper detection may also be activated.
   NOTES

   Do not use high beam where it may distract other road users.

6. High beam: With the headlights on, push and release the lighting control to select high beam. Push and release the lighting control again to deselect high beam. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates. See HIGH BEAM (BLUE).
7. High beam flash: Pull the lighting control toward the steering wheel and release to flash the high beam on and off. High beam remains on for as long as the lighting control is held.
   NOTES

   Low exterior light levels, caused by adverse weather conditions, may also cause the auto lights to activate.

8. Front fog lights: Turn the lighting control away from the steering wheel, and release to switch off the front fog lights. Turn the lighting control away from the steering wheel again, and release to switch off the front fog lights. The instrument panel warning light illuminates. See FRONT FOG LIGHTS (GREEN).
9. Rear fog lights: Operate only while the headlights or front fog lights are selected. Turn the lighting control toward the steering wheel, and release to switch on the rear fog lights. Turn the lighting control toward the steering wheel again, and release to switch off the rear fog lights. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates. See REAR FOG LIGHTS (AMBER).

In the event of a bulb failure, it should be noted that some bulbs are replaceable only by a retailer/authorized repairer. See CHANGING A BULB.

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. 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 and the ignition is switched off. The headlights remain illuminated for up to 4 minutes.

Press the headlight button on the smart key to switch off courtesy lights at any time.

AUTO HIGH BEAM ASSIST (AHBA)

The AHBA system automatically disables high beam in the presence of other road users and street lit environments, enabling high beam in their absence. The system is only active when the ambient light drops below a predetermined level. AHBA is enabled when the lighting control is in the AUTO position and AHBA is selected within the instrument panel.

The driver can disable and re-enable the AHBA system at any time as follows:

1. Select Exterior lighting in the Vehicle settings menu, via the instrument panel. See Linked procedure not present at the moment.
2. Select Headlights high beam.
3. Select Auto High Beam ON or OFF.

The AHBA system only activates when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h). The system deactivates when the vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h).

Push and release the lighting control to manually override to low beam from high beam. Rotate the collar to AUTO to return to AHBA. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates. See Linked procedure not present at the moment.

Push and release the lighting control to manually select high beam. Rotate the lighting control to AUTO to return to AHBA.

The following situations may limit the performance of AHBA:

• Highly reflective road signs.
• Highly reflective vehicles, e.g., brightly colored and emergency service vehicles.
• Dimly lit road users, e.g., cyclists or pedestrians.
• Adverse weather conditions, e.g., rain or fog.
• A dirty or obscured sensor.
• A dirty, damaged, or misted windshield.
• Oncoming vehicles, partially obscured by a central highway barrier.
• An icy or frosted windshield.

ADAPTIVE DRIVING BEAM (ADB)

ADB is activated automatically once the vehicle’s speed reaches 25 mph (40 km/h) and the camera does not detect an urban environment. ADB automatically deactivates when the vehicle’s speed slows to 15 mph (24 km/h), when ambient light exceeds a predetermined level or when the gear selector is in Reverse (R).

The ADB is defined as a system to evaluate the road scene ahead of the vehicle and automatically adapts the light distribution according to the position of the preceding and oncoming traffic. The ADB is enabled when the lighting control is in AUTO position and ambient light level is below a predetermined level.

The driver can disable and re-enable the ADB at any time:

• Select Exterior Lighting in the Vehicle Settings menu via the instrument panel.
• Select Headlights High Beam.
• Select Adaptive Driving Beam ON or OFF.

Pull and release the lighting control to manually override to low beam from ADB. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates.

Push and release the lighting control to return to ADB. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates.

Repeated pushing of the lighting control toggles the operation of the high beam between automatic and manual.

Rotate the lighting control to the low beam to switch the ADB system off.

The following may affect the operation of the ADB system:

• Highly reflective road signs.
• Dimly-lit road users, e.g., cyclists or pedestrians.
• Adverse weather conditions, e.g., rain or fog.
• Dirty or obscured sensor.
• Dirty, damaged, or misted windscreen.
• Oncoming vehicles, partially obscured by a central highway barrier.
• An icy or frosted windscreen.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS CONDENSATION

Condensation in the headlights, turn signals, or rear lights is 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.
