HDC fade-out
HDC fade-out gradually decreases the HDC 
brake intervention with the effect that the rate of 
hill descent will increase. If this occurs the HDC 
information light will flash and the warning 
chime will sound for the period that HDC takes 
to fade. HDC will be disabled completely once 
the descent is complete. 
If required (eg. the angle of the descent levels 
out significantly), fade-out may be achieved 
deliberately by deselecting HDC while the 
system is...

The warning light illuminates RED 
when the starter switch is turned 
on (to position II). After two 
seconds, the RED illumination changes to 
AMBER and, after a further two seconds, the 
light extinguishes. This process is a system 
check that takes place every time the vehicle is 
used. Provided the ACE system is operating 
correctly, illumination will not occur at any 
other time. 
If illumination occurs while driving, a fault 
with the system is...

When the engine is running, the self-leveling 
suspension system (SLS) operates 
automatically on the rear of the vehicle to 
maintain a level or efficient vehicle height 
regardless of vehicle load.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION

TOWING
The torque ranges of Land Rover engines allow 
maximum-weight loads to be pulled smoothly 
from standstill, and reduce gear changing on 
hills or rough terrain. The suspension is 
designed to cope with a heavy trailer load 
without upsetting the balance or feel of the 
vehicle. Details of gross maximum towed 
weights are listed on the following pages and in 
the General Data section (see ‘TOWING 
WEIGHTS’, page 210).WARNING
To preserve the vehicles handling and 
durability, only...

hitch receiver as standard equipment. When 
selecting a drawbar for the receiver, do not 
exceed a drop in height of 3 in (76 mm) or a 
hitch length of 8 in (203 mm) - both as 
measured from the connecting pin of the 
receiver.
An equalizing or other form of weight 
distributing hitch should NOT be used with your 
vehicle.
