Land Rover Dash Warning Lights

In this article, we will cover the dash warning lights that you may see appear on your Land Rover’s instrument cluster. We’ll focus specifically on the amber and red warning symbols, as these typically indicate more urgent issues. By narrowing our attention to these particular warnings, we aim to help you find the relevant information more quickly, ensuring you can address potential problems before they escalate. Understanding these warning lights is essential for maintaining the health and safety of your vehicle.

Exhasut-DEF

Exhaust DEF – Red Symbol

If this symbol is illuminated in red, it means that your Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level is too low. Land Rover models will not run if the DEF reservoir is empty. Please note that this light may also illuminate if the incorrect DEF has been used.

Exhasut-DEF

Exhaust DEF – Amber Symbol

When this symbol is illuminated in amber, it means that the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level is low or that incorrect fluid has been used. The instrument panel will also display a warning message. Follow the on-screen messages, if it is safe to do so.

Exhaust-Filter

Exhaust Filter

This warning light will illuminate when the exhaust filter is full or there is a fault with the filter system. An accompanying message may also appear on the display. If this light does come on, stop as soon as you can and contact your breakdown recovery provider.

Hill-Descent-Control

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

Land Rovers are renowned for their off-roading capabilities, and the Hill Descent functionality contributes to their exceptional abilities. The HDC lamp illuminates when the system is selected and is controlling a steep descent. If the lamp is flashing, HDC has been selected, but the operating conditions are not being met, or HDC fade-out is occurring.

Follow-Mode

Follow Mode

This symbol will illuminate when the adaptive cruise control system is in follow mode, indicating that the vehicle is automatically maintaining a safe distance from the car ahead. In this mode, the system adjusts your speed to match the traffic flow, providing a more comfortable and hands-free driving experience, particularly in heavy or stop-and-go traffic.

Lane-Depature-Warning

Lane Departure Warning

The green lane departure warning lamp will illuminate when the feature is enabled and the system is tracking the lanes. If you change lanes without indicating, or stray from your lane inadvertently, the symbol will flash red, and the steering wheel will vibrate.

auto-headlights

Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA)

This symbol lights up when the Automatic High Beam Assist (AHBA) feature is active. When engaged, this system automatically adjusts the vehicle’s headlights, dipping them to a lower setting when it detects oncoming traffic or when you are driving behind another vehicle. This helps to prevent dazzling other drivers, enhancing safety and providing a more comfortable driving experience, especially during night-time driving or in low-visibility conditions.

auto-start-stop

Auto Start/Stop

This symbol indicates that the Start/Stop feature of your car is active and that your Land Rover has automatically switched off to conserve fuel and reduce emissions. This is a common feature in modern vehicles designed to improve efficiency, especially in stop-and-go traffic or during periods of idling. Once you press the accelerator or release the brake pedal, the engine will automatically restart, allowing you to continue driving as normal. The system is designed to seamlessly enhance fuel economy without compromising your driving experience. If you prefer not to use this feature, you can usually deactivate it through the vehicle’s settings.

Forward-Alert

Forward Alert

The forward symbol will illuminate when the system is active, indicating that it is actively monitoring the area in front of your vehicle. If a vehicle or object is detected within the user-defined sensitivity area, a warning tone will sound to alert you of a potential obstacle. This feature is designed to enhance your awareness and help prevent collisions, providing an extra layer of safety while driving, especially in situations where visibility may be limited or when parking in tight spaces.
