Battery Issue? AGM Lifetime?
So 2 weeks ago I had a slew of warnings, DSC Not Available, Terrain Response Not Available, Emergency Braking Not Available (or words to that effect). Truck drove fine and the warnings were gone on next start. It was cold that day. Last week I had an HDC not available warning, came on during... -

What causes the rear tires to look tilted?
Have you checked your ride height? Tops tilted in is negative camber. Not always adjustable that much, usually it's an eccentric bolt, but I would think that wear would move it even less, unless you have some really extreme slop. Haven't looked to see how it's done on an LR. But on most... -

Nokian WR G4
I loved the WRG3 SUV's I had. But when I tore the sidewall in one (not the tire's fault) I decided not to replace with WRG4's, simply because I did not like the tread pattern. The 3's have a great looking tread, with written wear indicators that directly told you the tread depth - there are... -

2012 LR4 - Does dealer need to enable something for towing?
There are two sets of settings you can enable with the IID tool. One is for the cameras / guidance as f1racer posted. The other was a more generic "Trailer Towing Fitted" or similar. I don't remember the exact name. One might suppose that this is to enable the Tow Stability feature, or... -

LR4 Tow Assist - does it exist?
Yes, that would be great. I actually have the zoom to hitch working reasonable well, but it never seems to give me any trailer trajectory. I think there is either a calibration problem, or potentially it doesn't handle longer trailers? Mine is 25+ft. -

All Weather or Snow Tires ?
Any more feedback on these? Noisy, snow traction? -

Tire Match F/R
So it looks like the rears were at 8/32" and the fronts 7/32". The rear is one that's bad. Nokian has changed to a newer model, but it looks like I can still get the older ones online. Looks like the new treads are 12/32", maybe 11/32". Too big a difference to just get two? -

Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British
You can certainly basically tow as I said, but towing sway control (I believe LR calls it TSA, trailer stability assist) is certainly not a basic feature, but a very advanced one. It was most definitely NOT enabled according to the IIDTool by default, which I believe had a dealer installed... -

Tire Match F/R
Is the LR4 one of the vehicles you need to be very picky about replacing all four tires at once? Just killed a sidewall in one (WRG3 SUV, my fault, not tires). I'll normally replace a pair at a time, these only have a little under 20,000 miles on them, so I don't want to do the other pair if... -

Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British
You will probably want to get an IIDTool. Yes, you can tow a trailer without changing any settings, the lights/brakes will all work, but it is far from optimal. In my experience the dealer will not know anything about this, can't do it, and will tell you that having your rear parking sensors... -

Parasitic Draw
Clamp-on amp meters are generally designed to measure AC current. There are ways to use them with DC, but you usually need pretty fancy kit for the measurements to be reliable, especially with low-amp measurements. You should disconnect the positive terminal of the battery and run the current... -

2011 LR4 Trailer Reverse Sensor
The wiring harness and model year don't have anything to do with it. It probably only has to do if it came from the factory with the harness. You'll get the flashing trailer on the dashboard if it's wired up regardless. My CPO 2012 was this way, but still didn't mute the sound. I suspect the... -

2013 LR4 Home Setting in Navigation
I'm not sure why there is such a concern for having your address in the Nav system? You don't have your registration in the glovebox? The previous owner of my 2012 CPO still had his address in the Nav, didn't matter too much because his address and phone number were on the extended tire... -

Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)
Actually, not quite. I have actually done this. No IR camera you are likely to come across is going to have the resolution to see individual wires. What you see is a broad glow where it is working. Actually, I'm not even sure you would see wires even with a higher resolution camera, the... -

LR5 Release Updates?
No, read what I wrote above. 4% is BETTER than 10-12%. We're not talking load capacity, it's the percentage of the load that needs to be on the vehicle for stability. It's a minimum, if you can run 4% you could also run 10-12% just as well, but not the opposite. No way I can believe the...- dc_v01
