Permanent four-wheel drive. Front and rear drive permanetly engaged via a
center (interaxle) differential that allows four-wheel drive to operate on
pavement for extra security. This differential is fitted with a viscous
coupling unit (VCU). Upon sensing loss of traction, the viscosity of VCU fluid
inceases, creating a locking effect which provides equal power distribution
(50/50 torque splt) to both driveshafts. Once traction is regained, VCU
locking effect is reduced automatically.
Transfer Gearbox Model: Borg Warner BW44-62
Type
Two-speed reduction via epicyclic gear and Morse Hy-Vo chain to double
offset front and rear driveshafts permanently engaged for 4WD via a center
diferential and viscous coupling unit.

Electronic Air Suspension (EAS) System
The electronic air suspension control unit moniters level sensors at all
four corners and automaticallhy adjusts the vehicles's four springs to
constantly maintain a level ride, even when fully loaded. The driver has
control over suspension settings, depending on curcuimstances, that raise or
lower the vehicle over a range fo 4.9 inches (125mm).
Standard ride height is comparible to traditional long-travel
coil springs. Standard mode is used for routine around-town driving and
normal off-road conditions.
Low Profile is automatically assumed when the vehicle rcruises
above 50 mph, dropping 1 inch (25mm) for an aerodynamically lower profile.
An "inhibit" switch locks out this feature for applications such as towing.
The driver may select the Access Mode, which will lower the
vehicle 2.6 inches (65mm) to facilitate entry and exit as well as loading.
Access mode may be preselectred while vehicle is in motion up to 40 seconds
before coming to a halt, and may be activated up to 40 seconds after the
engine is shut off.
When approaching deep water crossings or severe off-road conditions, the
driver can activate High Profile, thereby raising the vehicle 1.6
inches (40mm) and enabling it to wade in water nearly 20 inches deep.
A final EAS capablitity is Extended Profile, which will
automatically cause a wheel to reach down a full 2.4 inches (60mm) from
standard height to gain traction if the vehicle is high centered off-road.
The suspension automatically reverts to the standard position in about 3
seconds when speed exceeds 35mph.
Electronic Traction Control
The Range Rover 4.0 SE and 4.6 HSE are equipped witha highly sophisticated
electronic traction control system. Without electronic traction control, when
a wheel starts to spin, it not only loses traction itself, but it also uses
all of the torque availible to the axle, preventing the opposite wheel from
providing grip. Electronic traction control operates by applying the brakes to
the spinning wheel and transferring the torque to the other wheel on the axle.
This provies torque to the wheel that can still provide grip.
