HILL DESCENT CONTROL

WADE SENSING

Land Rover’s patented Hill Descent Control (HDC) is a standard feature on all 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles. It assists the driver with controlled descents of difficult slopes by maintaining a constant speed and applying braking separately to each wheel. Hill Start Assist ensures the vehicle doesn’t roll backwards as it pulls away on an incline. The vehicle also utilises Gradient Release Control (GRC) which is designed to prevent the vehicle accelerating too quickly on a steep incline when the driver releases the brake.

With a wading depth of up to 600mm, whether crossing streams, fords or flooded areas, the optional Wade Sensing feature can prove invaluable. Unique to Land Rover, sensors located in the door mirrors give the driver pictorial real-time information about the water’s depth in relation to the vehicle, as well as maximum wading capability via the Touchscreen.

Touchscreen shown is 10" Touch Pro. Vehicle shown left is HSE Luxury in Scotia Grey.
