L494 RRS 5.0l Supercharged. Could someone please tell me what this warning light is. It’s just come on today and it’s not in the hand book. If I switch off the car and then restart it’s still there. I’ve not seen this one before.

no idea. but to guess its the sort of symbol used by JLR for suspension type issue.

Oh and welcome :) .

Hi J thanks, I’m loathed to take to JLR but have specialist not too fat away but I’m curious to know I’ve had RRSs for years now this is my 6th one, I love them but JLR are the worst service and PR I’ve ever come across.
 
Also couldnt find it , indeed I also wonder if it’s the vehicle range symbol

Low fuel would as mentioned show a fuel pump symbol, suspension would show a car with an arrow in it

Plus 1 to getting a scanner seeing it’s an amber warning light
 
Easy... it's one of the 'special programs' icons, if you press the rotary selector for the special programs so it's down ('auto'), the icon will disappear - that one indicates a road-biased program.
It's not an error, just an indication - the same as the amber 'snowflake' for low temperatures and the amber low fuel icon.

Many thanks for that, operator issues here I must have just caught the selector and not noticed. Thanks again.

Brilliant. This is why we love this forum. Some one always has the answer to our problems👍:)
 
As is not reading the owners handbook, assuming that they still supply one these days.

Hi mate

Must confess could only find a 2016 owners manual for this model , did have a good look to no avail of what all the instrumental panel lights were, with the OP specifically stating a 2014 L494 RRS 5.0l Supercharged

But indeed as mentioned with regards to getting a scanner plugged in

 
To be fair, it's not at all clear from the manual where and when these indications will appear - I worked as a LRE instructor part-time for a few years, at the time it was common for new owners to be given the 1/2 day 'experience', in most cases, we were filling in the gaps in the (supposedly) extensive vehicle handover the sales reptiles gave, and there is a finite amount of attention you can give when you just want to drive away with your new car....

When cars were a mode of transport rather than toys full of gimmicks, there was much less to read in the owners hand book.

Very impressive and imagine u got some face palm questions, lol

Often wondered particularly with the newer models of why JLR installed the auto TR2 mode so customers could then simply select that instead of going through the rest of the TR2 settings

Ps, did read a post a while back on one of the Land Rover forums where a new owner asked why his new Land Rover was so slow down the motorway , in the end found out he had it in low range
 
Owners manuals used to give you the settings for tappet clearances, now the most helpful they can be is to tell you to not drink the battery 'juice'...

lol

maybe that’s why they don’t have a long battery tube anymore🤣
