Freelander 2 (LR2) What is this message??

Hey everyone,

Yesterday, a teammate sent me a photo of a message that suddenly popped up in his car. He mentioned that the RPM is shooting up like it's in low mode, but the speed isn't increasing, and there's some noise coming from the front wheels.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue?

Don't quote me on this but " I think something is broken"

Symbols are brilliant for indicating a problem - if you know what the symbol means.

I had a look through my owner's manual, and couldn't find it.

I did a search online, and couldn't find it.

Symbols are bloody useless if there's no reference for them.

I'd try steering fluid level first, then the linkage ...

Or go to a Main Stealer and ask ...

Probably haldex not engaging so 2wd only

If the revs are rising and the car's not moving pro rata, then either the clutch, box/tc or PTU is knackered. All of these things are up front so would sound like front wheels. If it was clutch it would also come with a pungent smell.

However, I agree with @Dippypud that the icon looks like a steering wheel. But this would not allow revs to rise faster than normal. So maybe there are a number of issues.

That's exactly what I want to say.

Even after searching through Google, image searches, and even the user manual, I couldn't find any relevant information.
What's the point of having icons that users can't understand or that lack guidance?
Ridiculous.

Thank you all.
