Transfer Gearbox
-
Permanent four-wheel drive. Front and rear drive permanently engaged via a center (interaxle) differential that allows four-wheel drive to operate on pavement for extra security. This differential is fitted with a viscous coupling unit (VCU). Upon sensing loss of traction, the viscosity of VCU fluid increases, creating a locking effect which provides equal power distribution (50/50 torque spilt) to both driveshafts. Once traction is regained, VCU locking effect is reduced automatically.
Transfer Gearbox Model: Borg Warner BW44-62
Type
Two-speed reduction via epicyclic gear and Morse Hy-Vo chain to double offset front and rear driveshafts permanently engaged for 4WD via a center differential and viscous coupling unit.

Electronic Air Suspension (EAS) System
The electronic air suspension control unit monitors level sensors at all four corners and automatically adjusts the vehicles's four springs to constantly maintain a level ride, even when fully loaded. The driver has control over suspension settings, depending on circumstances, that raise or lower the vehicle over a range of 4.9 inches (125mm).
- Standard ride height is comparable to traditional long-travel coil springs. Standard mode is used for routine around-town driving and normal off-road conditions.
- Low Profile is automatically assumed when the vehicle cruises above 50 mph, dropping 1 inch (25mm) for an aerodynamically lower profile. An "inhibit" switch locks out this feature for applications such as towing.
- The driver may select the Access Mode, which will lower the vehicle 2.6 inches (65mm) to facilitate entry and exit as well as loading. Access mode may be preselected while vehicle is in motion up to 40 seconds before coming to a halt, and may be activated up to 40 seconds after the engine is shut off.
- When approaching deep water crossings or severe off-road conditions, the driver can activate High Profile, thereby raising the vehicle 1.6 inches (40mm) and enabling it to wade in water nearly 20 inches deep.
- A final EAS capability is Extended Profile, which will automatically cause a wheel to reach down a full 2.4 inches (60mm) from standard height to gain traction if the vehicle is high centered off-road. The suspension automatically reverts to the standard position in about 3 seconds when speed exceeds 35mph.
Electronic Traction Control
The Range Rover 4.0 SE and 4.6 HSE are equipped with a highly sophisticated electronic traction control system. Without electronic traction control, when a wheel starts to spin, it not only loses traction itself, but it also uses all of the torque available to the axle, preventing the opposite wheel from providing grip. Electronic traction control operates by applying the brakes to the spinning wheel and transferring the torque to the other wheel on the axle. This provides torque to the wheel that can still provide grip.
