    "Won't let you harm" question

    So its smply a speed regulator? If its on then its totally regulating your speed regardless of terrain unless you are going over 50 mph?

    "Won't let you harm" question

    More confusion then. The 2012 manual says parking brake can be used in an emergency as long as you arent on the gas at the same time

    "Won't let you harm" question

    Umberto, your scenarios is exactl why I don't want to hit the HDC button at 45 MPH, even though the manual says it's possible. Is it going to slow me from 45 to 2 MPH even if you're not on a hill?

    "Won't let you harm" question

    See, now this comment totally confuses me. I thought HDC only works on hills and that you can keep it on while driving under 50 MPH and it won't hinder you unless going down a hill? It says in the manual that you can engage it at speeds up to 50 MPH. The manual mentions numerous times...

    4WD Low Settings Questions

    No, but the point of the question is: it seems like you wouldn't be able to drive even 30 miles in this thing using low gear. At slow speeds in regular drive while accelerating (and not fast, just going with flow from a light) I get like 4 MPG. If it's worse in Low, can you even go anywhere...

    4WD Low Settings Questions

    So I would also assume that in Low you are burning at least 3x more fuel since engine speed is higher but forward progress is not?

    4WD Low Settings Questions

    OK, so physical gears at the same, but the gearing is different. Got it. I should stick to motorcycles, much simpler.

    "Won't let you harm" question

    I AM a monkey. I'm not playing with buttons, there just seems to be a lot of rules as to when/how you can do what and I don't want to F something up for lack of memorizing the manual word for word. Just wanted to confirm what I was told, that there are certain procedures but if you don't...

    "Won't let you harm" question

    There are a plethora of rules on the various settings in the truck (height, 4wd, HDC, etc) regarding speeds at which you can adjust settings. The salesperson told me "the vehicle will not let you damage it if you press something when you shouldn't." In other words, try to turn on HDC at 70...

    4WD Low Settings Questions

    Reading the manual last night and have questions on Low settings: - Forget asking about what I read about engaging Low on the fly; seems like I would permanently destroy the gears even though it sounded straight forward; put in neutral, no gas, engage Low. - When in low, do you HAVE to...

    Hill Descent Control Questions

    I was reading the manual last night and came upon some HDC info that I wonder if anyone can comment on. - It seems like you can engage HDC at speeds of up to 50 MPH (as I recall); what speed will HDC maintain at that engagement speed - 50? - You can adjust the speed control for HDC (as I...

    LR4 3rd Row & Kids...

    That's what I'm guessing is in place; I envision something like a "J" hook on the backrest which disengages when the back is laid flat. It would be great of the child's seat could be lifted forward while in place, but I guess if someone pulled the cord in the back it would release the lock and...

    squealing brakes

    I'd print the TSB and bring it with me; problem is, it references one year older model than yours. Do they charge to look at a reported problem?

    LR4 3rd Row & Kids...

    On another note, the Infinit JX has a seat that flips (maybe slides?) forward with a car seat attached. What stops the LR's second row seat from flipping UP until the headrest hits the back of the front seat if a car seat were in the second row and stopping the backrest from going forward...

    LR4 3rd Row & Kids...

    How are you mouting in the middle of the second row - seat belt mounting alone, no LATCH system? I KNOW we all survived childhood without these complicated child safety seats, but now that the technology is out there and it's definitely safer than just sitting a child in the seat with a...

    Spare Wheel Protector, from RLD

    So in order to carry a full sized spare it has to be aired down to off road levels? Wait, is that stock or oversized?
