Hello wife just phoned as I am working away and said over the past few days she has had a bleep then a iceicle light pop up on the dash only stops on a few seconds then goes off, is it the sensor that indicates that the temperature is low and puts it into 4wd mode automatically or am I way off track, she has a 57 reg gs with terrain response, thanks in advance for your replies

Chris

You're right, it is the sensor warning her of a low external temperature but it is a warning only, not an action as your car is already in 4WD.

Just a visual and audio warning to the cold weather

Or I told the wife on a old car, its a warning to say it's about to snow, which 5mins later it did  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

ebygum32,

If the outside temp is below freezing (and snow is on the ground) and you have been driving in snow mode ? Turn of the ignition and turn it back it may stay in snow mode and not reset to normal mode.

But your car is always in four wheel drive ( which ever mode you in)

have a look at page 112 to 114 in the your handbook for more info.

Thanks for the replies thought that's what it was now I can reasure her that must be obeyed

Jp not driving in snow yet, was just outside temp

One again thanks to all who replied

ebygum32,

when you do get to drive the FL2 in the snow I think you will be impressed, with how good the snow mode works.
I only got stuck when the snow was about 18" (approx 45cm) deep, best car I have driven in snow.

Don't try sand mode in the snow unless you have plenty of space (its turns turns the FL2 into a four wheel drift machine )

Hi guys just reading about the warning bleep when the temperature goes below +4....
I don't get that on mine is this something you need to turn on.
I had it on my Ford Kuga which I traded in for my...MY10 GS TD4E which I picked up in september and can I just say am loving it wouldn't go back to Ford....

Just comes on at +4 on mine, just gives a little beep and the Ice/snowflake is displayed in the centre information panel.

Thanks for your replys guys I think I may have to get this one checked out as I've never heard any bleeps or seen any snow flakes and it's been a lot colder lately down to minus 3 the other night

As I said my Kuga used to go green and chime at +4 then when it dropped to 0 the snow flake turned red and chimed again.

i've not seen an icecle but i have a snowflake next to the temp on the readout when below +4c

You wont see an icecle inside the Freely either, just a snowflake. The piddely little beep is very descreet, but the Kuga's apparantly louder and presumably vulgar Green and Red flashing lights and Big Ben chimes would have been better for some early morning drivers  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
