I don't thinks so, will check it out, I do need to spend some more time getting to know a few different bits of the D4

I tried to find what Land Rovers take on this for my 3L SDV6 is, but couldn’t see anything mentioned re Sport mode at all.
What do the Gurus here advise? Sport modefor towing, or just Drive mode?
Thanks for any guidance re this fellas (and fellerettes if any here!)

Hi Ken,
we picked up our 20.6 Zone Venture a couple of months ago and I tow the D5 in drive mode.

mind u I have had a switch installed in the rear boot area, which switches off the rear sensors and keeps the D5 in gear slightly longer
to help with the towing side of things. a kind of "towing mode" or "trailer mode".
it also checks the blinkers when these are switched on, with the results showing on the dash.
very similar to D3 that I owned quite a few years ago.

cheers Tom
