For all those especially with MY2010 (but very happy to hear from those who own other model years) so please state your MY in your reply. Thanks.

Question: When using the lighting switch moving clockwise from position 2 - Side Lights, to position 3 - Dipped Beam do your side lights stay on or do they go off

Sides should stay on in all lighting positions after and including Side lights only.

Thank you gentlemen - very useful replies.

Having received the response I expected may I move forward to one last question, that is:

Do you (or Land Rover) refer to the two small front lamps located in the lower half of the front bumper right n left as the a) fog lights, spot lights or the driving lights

Your answers are important to my investigation. Thanks.

One light each side in the lower front bumper are fog lights

If you have two lights each side in an external housing you have driving lights

Fog, shine them at a wall, it should give you a flat spread beam, this is is it doesn't glare back at you in fog.
Much loved by Chavs but that may be a UK issue

Yes I call them fog lamps, but the reason for my little investigation is that whosoever wrote the Owner's Manual that came with her Ladyship's Swiss FL2 has a very different way of describing the lights on an FL2.

To make matters worse they use one reference, e.g. "side lights" on one page of the manual and then in another section refer to them as "driving lights". Or "fog lamps" as "driving lights".

My theory is that different authors and/or translators were used by the publishing company to write different sections of this and the other publications that accompany the vehicle when new.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions to this thread. Appreciated.

I thought that Dr. L L Zamenhof had that linguistic interface covered in 1887 when he devised Esperanto as the solution to enable Europeans to communicate seamlessly with each other. And perhaps it was his direct descendants that wrote the FL2 documentation

The markets that LR export to where DRL's are required use Dipped Beam I think you will find

DRL's in Switzerland only become obligatory for new cars supplied after 01.01.2012.

Therefore LR documentation (Owner's Manual) published and supplied with MY2010 vehicles should not /would not in all good faith have such an elementary mistake or wrong definition therein. Nor for any light to be incorrectly described, or identified on more than one occasion as a completely different lighting function. Shoddy publishing - the final text editor has not done their job properly.
