Australia 2015 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Aintree Green
Follow Me Home Reverse - Enabled

Follow Me Home Reverse is the same as activating the front headlight except with the addition of reverse lights aswell.
Can be configured in the "vehicle setup" menu in the driver configure screen for set delay period or manually switched off by the key fob.
Very useful feature.
First press of key fob.....fronts only



Second press of key fob....front and reverse



Third press turns both front and rears off.
Otherwise will stay on for selected delay period.....

That's not an Evoque in the pictures. Maybe it's just the later models with the Evoque style dash. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Exactly.

And it was not available on all Evoques either. It needs to be activated in the CCF. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE Si6 Black/Black - Hers

Enabling the "Follow me home Reverse" is proving to be very useful indeed.
I use this feature on a daily (well generally in the evening) basis! It's works really well.
Only problem is, as you can see, the poor standard globe is starting to look a bit tired as it's being used a lot.



I have managed to locate a LED replacement which is similar in size to this T10/W5W push in style globe of 450 lumens.
The supplier is still waiting on stock but I should have information by the end of the week and hopefully this will do the trick.
The standard reverse globe is bright enough, its the light quality against the HID's that really make it look very yellow. MY15
