What is this light?

[Saitch]

Just as a matter of interest, what is the orange symbol in the lower left? The one with the left/right and up/down arrows.

Well it's not on my list, but it means don't come a knocking[bigwhistle] (OK, it's what P.D. said :)

Here's some more

It's a StarWars Ti-Fighter deployment alert

Ahhh Saitch, you just never know what you're gonna get on this Forum.

Often a surprise, very often pleasant!

Now look, you blokes, my wife drove the D3 today and she noticed the light when on a particularly steep and windy road. She asked me what it was for and I couldn't tell her. She looked at me with a little bit of disbelief on her face. [smilebigeye]

I don't think that she will go with the Star Wars theory!

[OldGuy]

No real idea, but do you have active sway bars?

[Eric SDV6SE]

Does the D3 have a tilt sensor? Not kidding, my 2002 suzuki motorbike has a tilt sensor that will cut the engine if it detects a certain angle. In my view if you've activated the tilt angle on a motor bike, you've got bigger problems than a flashy light and the engine not starting..

Just had a google the D3 uk forum talks about this, it could well be the steering wheel angle sensor is worm, or rather the mount its in is worn so the car thingks that forva certain road speed the steering angle is too much. This will activate traction control for safety.

(Still like the Ti fighter answer better....)

Workshop manual says it is the "Air Suspension Warning Indicator". [bigsmile1]

What it is warning you of ..... ??? [bigwhistle]

I've given this some thought and hereby put forward 'Theory One'!

The driver weighs in at 60 odd kg. The front passenger at 120+ kg and the rear passenger, also on passenger side, behind big, fat bloke, at 90kg.
So, 60kg on RHS and 210kg+ on LHS.

Now, ascending the last section of a very windy and steep road, i.e. Nambour to Mapleton, this light came on. On reaching the top and turning the vehicle off, the light did not re-appear during the ensuing hour's drive home.

Theory: ' I'm thinking that the severe imbalance of load, during the steep, sharp curves, somehow confused the DSC and it thought there was something amiss with the suspension. '

This would be the most financially beneficial theory, one would think? [smilebigeye]

I highly doubt it, more like there is some wear in the suspension just enough to throw a sensor out of range.
And tell those fatties to go on a diet [bigrolf]

If you google "Suspension warning light Discovery 3" you will find that this light can be either orange or red, depending on the severity of the fault I suppose. But the light indicates a suspension fault.

Without codes we're all guessing.

I code checked when we got home and there were no issues!

The light was 'Orange', by the way.

Perhaps just one of those things?

There's never "just one of those things" on a Landrover (particularly when the EAS is involved). It obviously knew you were safe and not in a hurry. It's just lying in wait until you are in a critical spot before that orange light comes up red.
