The navigation computer diagnostics can be exited by turning the ignition switch to the off position and waiting for several minutes until the infotainment system powers down. This is signified by the flashing LED (light emitting diode) in the TSD audio on/off switch being extinguished when the system is shut down.

Initial Screen Display
Once powered the TSD will initially display the 'Land Rover' image for a short time followed by the road safety caution screen. This screen advises the driver that some functions are inhibited when the vehicle is moving and that local traffic regulations must be observed. After pressing the 'Agree' icon on the screen, the last displayed screen or menu is displayed. On a new vehicle, when the system is operated for the first time, the system will display the 'Home' menu to allow the user to adjust the factory default settings. The system settings are set to suit the market to which the vehicle is to be delivered. These can be changed by the customer to suit their preferences.

The infotainment system can be operated at times when the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch and is known as one hour mode.. Pressing the audio on/off button will power the system for a period of one hour. After the one hour period, the system will power down to avoid excessive drain on the vehicle battery.

The navigation system is accessed by pressing the 'Navigation' button in the top right hand corner of the TSD or pressing the 'Navigation' icon on the screen. The 'Navigation' menu will appear which gives the option to select 'On-road' or 'Off-road' navigation using one of two icons on the screen.

Navigation Operation
The navigation computer receives GPS (global positioning system) data from the satellites, via the GPS (global positioning system) antenna. The GPS (global positioning system) data is used by the navigation computer to calculate the vehicle's position. Once the driver has input the desired destination, the navigation computer can calculate a route, based on the driver's preset preferences or the system default settings, to the destination.

Full instructions on navigation system operation can be found in the Navigation Handbook supplied with the vehicle.

On-Road Navigation
If on-road navigation is selected, the driver can input the destination address, the destination post code, choose a saved address from the address book or choose a point of interest in the destination area on the applicable screen on the TSD.

The driver is then guided to the destination by a scrolling map display and voice guidance. The driver can select and change the map display scale and display type, i.e. 3D.

Off-Road Navigation
If off-road navigation is selected, the driver can input a number of waypoints and longitude and latitude destinations on the applicable screen on the TSD. The navigation computer calculates the route from and to each waypoint using the GPS (global positioning system) data.

The off-road navigation route comprises a series of waypoints which are followed sequentially. Point to point guidance is given to the first waypoint on the route. Once the first waypoint destination is achieved, the navigation computer calculates the route to the second waypoint in the route. This process is repeated until the final waypoint is reached.

4X4i Component Location





General
4X4I is only available on vehicles fitted with satellite navigation and provides the driver with additional vehicle status information which is displayed on the TSD. The information provides the driver with functional information relating to the vehicle powertrain and chassis and is of most benefit when driving off-road.

The TSD displays a graphical representation of the vehicle systems toprovide an easy to understand vehicle status display. The 4X4I system displays the following information:
^ Steering angle
^ Transfer box status
^ Hill Descent Control (HDC) status
^ Automatic transmission status
^ Air suspension status
^ Wheel height information
^ Compass indication
^ Venture Cam view and set up.

Touch Screen Display (TSD)





The Touch Screen Display (TSD) is located in the center of the instrument panel and is the driver control interface for the infotainment system. The TSD is connected to the MOST ring and communicates with the other components in the audio/infotainment system.

The TSD processes its own video for system operation but receives the video image data from the navigation computer via a co-axial cable for 4X4I.

The TSD also provides driver display and control of the audio system, telephone, the rear view camera, the Venture Cam, the Traffic Message Channel and the navigation system.

The 4X4I and other systems are operated by a combination of the physical buttons located on each side of the screen and the 'virtual' buttons displayed on the touch screen. For clarification, the physical buttons are referred to as 'buttons' and the touch screen virtual buttons are referred to as 'icons'.

The TSD is a touch sensitive, 800 X 600 pixels LCD (liquid crystal display) VGA screen which displays in a 15:9 aspect ratio.

Care should be taken with the TSD to ensure its correct operation:

^ The screen should be cleaned with a lightly, water moistened cloth. D-not use chemical agents or domestic products to clean the screen or any part of the surround.
^ Only use your finger to operate the touch screen. Ensure you only use one finger to avoid incorrect entries.
^ A short light press of the touch screen is sufficient. Excessive pressure can damage the screen.

Refer to the Audio section for details of the harnessconnectors related to the TSD.

System Functions
The 4X4I system uses data from other systems to obtain the displayed information. The data is received from the CAN (controller area network) and is passed to the navigation computer via the IHU and the TSD.

Steering Angle





The steering angle is obtained from information broadcast by the steering angle sensor on the CAN (controller area network). The sensor signal is used to display the orientation of the steered wheels in relation to a plan view of the chassis layout. The steering angle is displayed by one of thirteen graphics to show the full range of steering angle from lock to lock in increments of 5 degrees from the straight ahead position.

Transfer Case





The transfer case currently active setting is obtained from information broadcast by the transfer case control module on the CAN (controller area network). The display can show low range, high range or neutral selection. The selected range icon flashes if a ratio change is in progress.

When neutral is selected, the display shows an 'N'. If the transfer case is in neutral but the automatic transmission is not in neutral, the selected gear on the transmission flashes until neutral is selected on the selector lever.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)





The HDC system current operating condition is obtained from information broadcast by the ABS (anti-lock brake system)

control module on the CAN (controller area network). The display can show HDC functionality states with the HDC icon illuminated in a green or amber color. If HDC is not selected, no HDC icon is displayed.

Green Icon
^ HDC icon permanently displayed - HDC active
^ HDC icon flashing - HDC suspended

Amber Icon
^ HDC permanently displayed - HDC fault
^ HDC icon flashing - Brake fade

Automatic Transmission
The automatic transmission current selected gear is received from a CAN (controller area network) transmission from the transmission control module. The display shows the current selector lever position of P, R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. The gear position is displayed in a central position above the transfer case range icon.

Air Suspension





The air suspension status information is obtained from information broadcast on the CAN (controller area network) by the air suspension control module. The display comprises six different screen displays to show all air suspension height states and transition states. During a height change the arrow head between the wheels flashes. The green line denotes the suspension position above, below or at the standard height setting. The selected height is confirmed by a symbol and text confirming the suspension status.

Wheel Height





The wheel height status information is obtained from information broadcast on the CAN (controller area network) by the air suspension control module. The wheel heights are measured by the four individual height sensors and processed by the air suspension control module.

The position of each wheel relative to the vehicle body is displayed. Upper and lower wheel travel markers are shown as white lines above and below each wheel. The positions of the wheel markers move according the air suspension height selected. When the suspension is at off-road height, the position of the travel markers move upwards to represent the 55 mm of vehicle body movement when in this mode. When the suspension is at access height, the position of the travel markers move downwards to represent the 50 mm of vehicle body movement when in this mode. When the suspension is in off-road or access height, the positions of the suspension and wheel travel markers are displayed as blue lines to show their relative positions in standard height mode.

When the maximum wheel travel is reached, the travel marker changes to an amber color and flashes for as long as the maximum travel condition exists.

Compass





The compass information is obtained from the navigation computer. The compass view is the same compass view which is also displayed when the navigation system is in off-road navigation mode. The compass view replaces the wheel and body height view in the TSD. Compass view can be accessed by pressing the compass icon on the TSD. Pressing the chassis icon reverts the display back to the chassis view.

The compass view shows a plan view of the vehicle on a compass face. Depending on the compass display mode set in the navigation system, the compass can display a rotating vehicle view which moves to indicate the heading against the fixed compass points. If the heading up mode is selected in the navigation system, the vehicle view pointer will remain fixed vertically and the compass points will rotate to indicate the vehicle heading.
