New Owner Questions

[drewlum]

I've got to tell you, I love my LR4 HSE Lux! I have the metallic black and it's fantastic!

However, I do have a few questions:

1.) I read in the owners manual about the service menu on the instrument panel where I can check oil levels,etc. That isn't an option on my menu. Is there something that needs to be enabled at the dealership to be able to see that option?

2.) I also noticed that in the manual that it shows a digital speedometer read out in the lower right hand corner of the display. I would like to have this but I don't see where I can enable it.

3.) Are there 18" wheels available (other than the compomotive) that I can fit with larger tires for winter and light off road?

thanks in advance!

I don't have my manual in front of me right now but if I remember correctly you have to run the engine for about 5 minutes, then open the hood before it will show up on the screen in the center of the dash. Make sure you read the sequence correctly.

I had asked my dealer about this when I first got my LR4 and they said it was not available in the US models. But if anyone figures out how to enable this, please post. I would love to have this feature.

The strange thing is that the digital speed in the TFT screen works if you change the settings to km/h. I called LRNA to asked why mph was disabled, but never got a straight answer.

Here's the deal with the service menu. You can't get to it when the engine is running. To see it, push the start button without putting your foot on the brake. The nav display will come on, windows will work, etc., as though you'd switch the key to position 1 on a typical keyed ignition. Now go into the menus and you will see the service menu.

You can check the oil level when the engine is cold, or warm after sitting with the engine off for about 10 minutes. If you try to check it immediately after driving you will get a message that says "Oil Level Unavailable."

I find this really odd since in England the speed is measured in mph.

Thanks! I re-read the manual and realized that I looked over the part that said "with the engine off"

thanks!

I wonder if those features will be available for '12 so that LRNA can claim "enhanced TFT" functionality or what not.

You are right -- I just tried it and the digital speed does indeed appear when I change to km. Makes no sense why it would display in one mode and not the other.

Yeah! I just switched to kmph and I got the digital readout. Very strange.
