							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: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 system’s
minimum operational speed of 45 km/h.
3.Press the’SET+’switch to set the vehicle
speed in the cruise control system’s
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 pedals is pressed, or when the gear
selector lever is moved into position’N’. 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
H3097
123
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 foot brake is continuously
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 and select’P’.
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).
Ride height indicator panel (2)
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).
’Inhibit’switch (3)
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. 
						

							Air suspension
111 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Even in’Inhibit’mode, the ride height can
automatically change from
’Access’/’Crawl’to the’Low’ride height
and from the’Extended’or’High’profile
to’High’or’Standard’.
If the suspension is in’Inhibit’mode and
’Access’ride height is selected when the
engine is switched off, then when the
engine is restarted, if the gear selector us
moved from’P’and the handbrake is
released before the system bulb check is
complete, the vehicle will rise from
’Access’to’Standard’instead of’Low’
ride height. For more information on the
bulb check, see’Air suspension warning
light’.
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 (see’Towing 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. 
						

							Air suspension
112
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
vehicle’s 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 with’P’selected.
All doors and the tailgate are closed.
The foot brake is NOT applied.
’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’position
and the foot brake released. Preselection is
automatically cancelled if the 40 second
period is exceeded.
NOTE:If a door/tailgate is opened or the foot
brake 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, see’Inhibit’switch).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the suspension is in’Inhibit’mode and
’Access’ride height is selected when the
engine is switched off, then when the
engine is restarted, if the gear selector is
moved from’P’and the handbrake is
released before the system bulb check is
complete, the vehicle will rise from
’Access’to’Standard’instead of’Low’
ride height. For more information on the
bulb check, see’Air suspension warning
light’.
If’Inhibit’mode is selected AFTER’Access’,
’Crawl’mode is selected (see’Crawl’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. 
						

							Air suspension
113 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: 30 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 !
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.

116 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 system’s computer
to aid your dealer. 
						

							Trip computer & overspeed warning
117
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 centre’s primary
function is to display warning messages
generated by the vehicle’s 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 computer’s
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
