HILL DESCENT
CONTROL
To complement the Terrain Response system,
Range Rover Sport can also call upon a unique
suite of all-terrain technologies to help maximise
performance and safety.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) assists with controlled
descent of difficult slopes by maintaining a
constant speed and applying braking separately
to each wheel.
Hill Start Assist ensures you do not roll backwards
as you pull away on an incline.
The vehicle also utilises Gradient Release Control
(GRC) which is designed to prevent the vehicle
‘running away’ on a steep incline when the driver
inadvertently releases the brake.
WADE
SENSING
With a wading depth of up to 850mm, whether
crossing streams, fords or flooded areas, the
optional Wade Sensing 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.
This displays the angle at which the vehicle
is entering deeper or shallower water, which
is particularly beneficial in the dark when it is
difficult to predict the wading depth.
