Land Rover Defender: Driving aids safety

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using a driving aid system. Failure to use the driving aids safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

Despite the vehicle being fitted with driving aids, the driver is still responsible for driving with due care and attention. The driver should also observe all road markings. Only drive in a manner which is safe for the vehicle, its occupants, and other road users.

Driving aids are a supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe driving style.

Always use the door and rear-view mirrors. Drive safely at all times, and use the door and rear-view mirrors to help avoid accidents.

Driving aids may not function at all speeds, or in all weather conditions.

Driving aids do not correct errors of judgement when driving.

The sensors and camera used by the driving aids may become impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, or road spray. The driving aids ability to detect a risk may subsequently be affected and may give false indications.

Do not attach stickers or objects to the rear bumper or to the windshield.

The driving aids ability to detect a risk may subsequently be affected, and may give false indications.

Do not attach stickers or other objects to the door mirrors, as the blind spot icons and indicators may become obscured. Obscuring the icons and indicators could cause system miscalculations and increase the risk of a collision during a vehicle maneuver.

The performance of the lane aid systems is affected by tire pressures and steering alignment. Constant steering adjustment may be required if the tire pressures are low, or if the steering is out of alignment. Constant steering adjustment increases the risk of an accident. Check the tire pressures regularly. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer if it is believed that the steering is out of alignment.
