							Cruise control
108 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
·DO NOT use cruise control on
winding or slippery road surfaces, or
in traffic conditions where a
constant speed cannot easily be
maintained.
·ALWAYS switch off the master
switch when you no longer intend to
use cruise control.
·DO NOT rest your foot under the
accelerator pedal while cruise
control is engaged - your foot could
be trapped.
NOTE:On automatic gearbox models,
selecting Cruise control while the gearbox
is in Sport mode will result in more
frequent and harsher acceleration and
gear changing. This is not recommended.
CRUISE CONTROL(if fitted)
Cruise control enables the driver to maintain a
constant road speed without using the
accelerator pedal. This is particularly useful
for motorway cruising or for any journey
where a constant speed can be maintained for
a lengthy period.
The cruise control system has three switches:
a master switch on the fascia panel and two
control switches marked SET+ and RES
(arrowed in illustration) mounted in the
steering wheel.
To operate
1.Press the master switch (the indicator
light in the switch illuminates).
2.Accelerate until the desired speed is
reached - this must be above the systems
minimum operational speed of 45 km/h.
3.Press the SET+ switch to set the vehicle
speed in the cruise control systems
memory. Cruise control will now maintain
that road speed without the need for
operation of the accelerator.
With cruise control operating, speed can be
increased temporarily, e.g. for overtaking, by
normal use of the accelerator. When the
accelerator is released, road speed will return
to the selected cruising speed. 
						

							Cruise control
109 To reduce the cruising speed
Use the brake pedal to slow the vehicle until
the required speed has been reached, then
press the SET+ switch to establish a new
cruising speed (remember that cruise control
will not operate at speeds below 45 km/h.
Press the RES switch once momentarily to
cut off cruise control; if the brake pedal is not
used, the vehicle will slow down gradually.
When the desired speed has been reached,
press the SET+ switch to establish the new
cruising speed.
To increase the set cruising speed
Press and hold the SET+ switch; the vehicle
will accelerate automatically. Release the
switch as soon as the desired speed has been
reached.
Alternatively, the set speed can be increased
incrementally by tapping the SET+ switch.
For each five taps the speed will increase by 8
km/h.Disengaging cruise control
Cruise control will automatically disengage if
the brake (or clutch) pedals are pressed, or
when the gear lever is moved into neutral
(gear selector lever positionNfor automatic
gearbox). Press the RES switch once
momentarily to cut off cruise control; this
allows the vehicle to slow down gradually.
If required, press the RES switch again to
re-engage cruise control at the previously-set
speed.
NOTE:The speed held in the cruise control
memory will be cancelled when either the
cruise control master switch or the starter
switch are turned off.
NOTE:Cruise control will disengage
automatically if your road speed falls to less
than 75 per cent of the set speed (this could
occur when towing uphill). 
						

							Air suspension
110
Your vehicle is fitted with an electronically
controlled air suspension system (EAS) which
provides five different ride height settings
including an Access mode. These settings
increase or decrease the height and ground
clearance of your vehicle to cope with
different driving conditions.
In addition, the EAS also provides automatic
suspension levelling.
Before operating EAS
Remember, even if a change of ride height is
selected, it will NOT take place:
·If the tailgate or any door is open.
·Whilst the footbrake is continously applied
for less than 3 minutes.
·If the engine is not running (except for
selection of Access within 40 seconds of
switching off).
If the Access mode is required, ensure the
handbrake is applied (select P for automatic
transmission).
NOTE:Frequent changes between ride
heights could cause the compressor to
overheat. If this occurs, EAS will be fully
operational again after a few minutes when
the compressor has cooled.CONTROLS
Ride height selector (1)
Press and release the upper or lower arrow on
the rocker switch to raise or lower the vehicle
to the next ride height setting (the relevant
indicator light will illuminate).
Inhibit switch (2)
The indicator light in the switch illuminates as
a bulb check when the starter is initially turned
to position II.
·Press the switch to select Inhibit mode
(indicator light illuminates). This will
prevent automatic changes between
Standard and Low ride height.
·Press again to switch off.
NOTE:Even in Inhibit mode, the ride height
can automatically change from
Access/Crawl to the Low ride height and
from Extended or High profile to High or
Standard.
Ride height indicator panel (3)
All indicator lights illuminate as a bulb check
when the starter switch is initially turned to
position II and remain illuminated until the
engine is started.
Each specific indicator light illuminates when
a height setting is in operation. When a
change in height is activated, the indicator
lights illuminate in the following sequence:
·The new height indicator light flashes.
·When the new height is reached, its
indicator light stops flashing and
illuminates continuously (the previous
indicator light extinguishes). 
						

							Air suspension
111
Air suspension warning light
The warning light on the
instrument panel illuminates as a
bulb check when the starter switch is turned
on and remains illuminated until two seconds
after the engine has started.
In addition, the light will illuminate whilst
driving whenever High or Extended ride
heights are selected, and also if a fault with
the air suspension system is detected.
HEIGHT SETTINGS
Standard ride height
Suitable for most driving
conditions and recommended for
towing (seeTowing with EAS).
High ride height
Approximately 40 mm above
Standard. Improves approach
and departure angles (off-road) and is also
recommended for wading.
Can be selected manually under 55 km/h. If
this speed is exceeded EAS automatically
returns to Standard.
NOTE:The air suspension warning light
illuminates when this height is selected.
WARNING
High ride height must not be selected for
driving on the public highway.
Low ride height
Approximately 25 mm below
Standard. Selected automatically
when speeds of over 80 km/h are sustained
for over 30 seconds. This setting lowers the
vehicles centre of gravity, thereby improving
the handling characteristics of the vehicle. The
vehicle automatically returns to Standard if
speeds below 55 km/h are sustained for over
30 seconds. Low can be manually selected at
any speed when Inhibit mode has been
selected.
Access/Crawl ride height
Access mode
Approximately 65 mm below
Standard, enabling easier access
or loading. Access can be selected with the
engine running and for up to 40 seconds after
it has been switched off provided:
·The vehicle is stationary.
·The handbrake is applied (gearshift in P
for automatic transmission).
·All doors and the tailgate are closed.
·The footbrake is NOT applied. 
						

							Air suspension
112 Access can also be preselected up to 40
seconds before the vehicle stops. However,
the suspension will not begin to lower until
the vehicle is stationary with the handbrake
applied, the gear selector in the P (park)
position and the footbrake released.
Preselection is automatically cancelled if the
40 second period is exceeded.
NOTE:If a door/tailgate is opened or the
footbrake is applied while the vehicle is
changing height, the change will be
interrupted.
When moving off, vehicle height automatically
returns to Standard (Low if Inhibit mode
was operational BEFORE Access was
selected).
If Inhibit mode is selected AFTER Access,
Crawl mode is selected (seeCrawl mode).
WARNING
Always take care when UNLOADING your
vehicle in an area where height is
restricted.
With the starter switch turned off, the
suspension will automatically re-level the
vehicle every time a door (or the tailgate) is
opened and then closed (and every few
hours thereafter).
After unloading, the height of the vehicle
will therefore increase.Crawl mode
If it is necessary to manoeuvre the vehicle in
an area where height is restricted, Crawl
mode should be selected as follows:
·Select Access.
·If the Inhibit mode is already active,
release the Inhibit switch (indicator light
extinguishes).
·Press the Inhibit switch (indicator light
illuminates).
·The message centre emits an audible
warning and EAS MANUAL is displayed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
While in Crawl mode: If the vehicle
exceeds 16 km/h, the message centre
emits an audible warning and displays
SLOW: 40 KMH MAX.
If the vehicle exceeds 40 km/h, the ride
height automatically changes to Low.
If the vehicle then slows to 32 km/h, the
EAS automatically returns to Crawl
mode.
If road speed reduces to 8 km/h, the
message centre emits an audible warning
and displays EAS MANUAL.
If the engine is switched off in Crawl
mode, the vehicle will return to Access
mode when restarted. If Crawl is still
required, it MUST be reselected ! 
						

							Air suspension
113
Extended ride height
Approximately 70 mm (above
Standard. Extended ride height
is automatically selected if the vehicle comes
to a halt as a result of the chassis coming into
contact with the ground. It CANNOT be
selected manually (High indicator light
flashes and the High suspension warning light
illuminates).
Extended ride height is automatically
sustained for 10 minutes after which it returns
to High unless the ride height selector is
used to select a different setting.
EAS MESSAGES
The following messages may appear in the
message centre display. These are warnings
to which the driver must respond.

115 TOWING WITH EAS
When towing, it is recommended that the
suspension is locked in Standard ride height
as follows;
·Press the Inhibit switch (indicator light
illuminates).
·Select Standard (as described earlier in
this section).
FAULT DIAGNOSIS
If the EAS self-check detects a minor fault in
the system, Standard is automatically
selected. No ride height changes are possible
until the fault is rectified. The message centre
emits an audible warning and EAS FAULT is
displayed. All the EAS indicator lights flash in
unison for 30 seconds before they, and the
High suspension warning light, illuminate
continuously.
If a major fault is detected, the vehicle lowers
to Access, and the message centre emits an
audible warning and displays SLOW: 55 KPH
MAX.
If a second fault occurs, all the EAS indicator
lights flash again.
WARNING
If either a minor, or major fault develops,
take your vehicle to your dealer as soon as
possible. Only an authorised Land Rover
dealer will be able to rectify faults.
NOTE:Certain minor faults are rechecked
after the EAS system is re-powered. If the
message EAS FAULT is displayed, switch off
the engine and keep all doors and tailgate
closed for at least 2 minutes, then re-start the
engine.
If a fault is no longer present, normal
operation is restored. However, a record of
the fault is stored by the systems computer
to aid your dealer. 
						

							Trip computer & overspeed warning
116
The trip computer provides valuable
information to assist the driver to calculate
fuel stops, journey times and distances.
The two push switches (illustrated) operate
the trip computer and overspeed warning
system, and messages from the trip computer
and overspeed warning system are displayed
in the message centre.
NOTE:The message centres primary
function is to display warning messages
generated by the vehicles monitoring
systems. Trip computer messages are of
secondary importance and therefore
automatically overridden when other, more
important, information is required for display.
The trip computer and overspeed warning
messages resume when other messages are
no longer valid.TRIP COMPUTER
With the starter switch in position II, press
switch (1) to scroll through the trip computer
functions. These will appear in the following
order:
·DISTANCE TO EMPTY
·AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION
·AVERAGE SPEED
·TRIP DISTANCE TWO
·TRIP DISTANCE ONE
NOTE:Trip Distance One is the computers
default position.
Distance to empty
This function is automatic and indicates the
remaining distance you can travel before the
fuel gauge reads empty - the message centre
displays: RANGE - - -.
If the estimated remaining distance falls below
80 km/h, the message centre will display
REFUEL, RANGE

						

							Trip computer & overspeed warning
117 Average fuel consumption
This function is automatic and indicates the
average fuel consumption since the last time
the trip computer was reset (average fuel
consumption is calculated by dividing the
distance travelled by the amount of fuel used).
While the system is calculating the average
fuel consumption, the display shows
COMPUTING L/100 KH. Once the fuel
consumption value is calculated, AVERAGE
L/100 KH will be displayed, and a 3 digit fuel
consumption value (shown in tens, units and
tenths of a litre) also appears in the display.
NOTE:The displayed value will not change at
a rate greater than 0.1 litres/100 km per
6 seconds, and will be between 0 and 99.9
litres/100 km.
Average speed
This function is automatic and indicates the
average speed since the last time the trip
computer was reset (average speed is
calculated by dividing the actual distance
travelled by the accumulated time in which the
starter switch has been turned on).
While the system is calculating the average
speed, the display will show COMPUTING
KPH. Once the calculation has been made, the
display changes to AVG. SPEED followed by
3 digits indicating the average speed in
hundreds, tens and units.
NOTE:The Average Speed display will change
at a maximum rate of 1.5 km/h per 2 seconds.Trip distance two
This function records the distance over which
the average fuel consumption and speed have
been calculated, and will always be the
distance the vehicle has travelled since the
computer was last reset. The message centre
displays TRIP2 ---.
Trip distance one
This is a standard trip recorder of the type
fitted to most motor vehicles and records the
distance travelled since the reset button (on
the right of the instrument pack) was last
pressed. Press the reset button to zero the trip
recorder. If the message display shows an
internal or trip computer message, it can be
changed to display the Trip Distance One
function by operating the trip recorder reset
button - the message centre displays the
distance only (without TRIP1 ---).
