Range Rover Evoque: Hdc operation
With HDC engaged, standard descent speed will not exceed 20km/h (12.4mph).
While the green warning lamp is continuously illuminated, HDC target speed can be modified using the cruise control steering wheel switches, as follows: - To increase speed, press and hold switch (2) until the green pointer in the target speed display is at the desired speed.
- To decrease speed, press and hold switch (3) until the green pointer in the target speed display is at the desired speed.
Release the switch to set the target speed.
Note: The white needle indicates the current vehicle speed.
To increase or decrease speed gradually, tap switches (2) and (3) as required. Each tap of the switch will increase/decrease the speed in increments/decrements of 1km/h (0.6mph).
Note: If a new target speed is set and then reverse gear is selected, the target speed will change to the default reverse speed. When a forward gear is next selected, the new target speed is reinstated.
Note: Each gear has a pre-determined minimum speed.
Descent speed will increase only when a slope is steep enough to provide additional momentum. Therefore, use of switch (2) on a gentle slope may not increase the speed.
If the brake pedal is depressed, HDC will be overridden and the brakes will operate as normal. When the brake pedal is released, HDC will resume control of the descent.
If HDC is switched off during a descent, HDC will fade out gradually. This is to prevent loss of control if HDC is switched off in error.
HDC will resume control when switched back on, at the standard default speed.
Do not attempt a steep
descent if HDC
is inoperative or warning messages
are displayed.

Gradient release control (GRC)
With HDC activated, if the vehicle is stopped on
a slope using the foot brake, GRC will become
active (except in Terrain Response Sand
program). It operates in all gears and in neutral
position.
Brake temperature
In extreme circumstances, the HDC system
may cause brake temperatures to exceed their
pre-set limits. An HDC warning will be
displayed in the message centre. HDC will then
fade out and become temp
System fault
If a fault is detected in the HDC system, an HDC
warning will be displayed in the message
centre.
If the fault is detected while the system is
operating, HDC will then fade out.

Airbag system
The components that make up
the
airbag system are sensitive to
electrical or physical interference,
either of which could easily damage
the system and cause inadvertent
operation or a malfunction of the
airbag module.

Quarter Panel
Removal
NOTES:
Within this procedure there are 2 different options depending on type of
vehicle body and combination of replacement panels.
The quarter panel is manufactured from mild steel.
The rocker panel butt joint in option 2 must be MIG brazed due to the location
of boron reinforcements.
