    Off road settings

    Hi all.
    Whilst in Auto terrain response mode (Auto knob pressed down). I stop put car into neutral, then select low range, BUT this also puts car into Off road height & turns on HDC.
    Is this to be expected?


    Edit Can someone move this post to the Off Road section please

    Peter,

    Having spent Monday at Eastnor in an RRS2, I'd say that's correct.

    IIRC to use just low range you need to dis-engage the auto terrain control by pushing the knob down and allowing it to pop-up.

    I'll be trying it on ours this weekend as I always run all three of our Landy's a short distance in low box once a month to make sure nothing seizes up.

    Thanks Scrumps can see the logic of Off road height although not HDC, will disengage Auto & check mine. keep me posted on your findings please.

    Yes as you said. Thumbs Up but HDC also comes on

    Peter - the behaviour you are seeing is the way the Disco 5 at the Land Rover offroad driving school behaved. HDC comes on by default when low range is selected.
