DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Off road mode warning lamp

The off road mode warning lamp is available on vehicles equipped with self levelling suspension. The off road mode 
warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. On vehicles fitted with self levelling 
suspension the driver can enable the function using the off road mode fascia switch. 

The SLABS ECU illuminates the LED, providing the driver with a visible warning.

When the ignition is switched on the SLABS ECU illuminates the LED to provide a self-check, providing there is no 
fault it will remain illuminated for 3 seconds or until the ignition is switched off.

The off road mode is only enabled if the transfer box is in low range.

The off road mode warning lamp will flash at the rate of 2 Hz during the transition phase (up and down), and is 
illuminated continuously when at full height.

The vehicle may be parked in off road mode the driver is reminded when the ignition is switched on that off road mode 
is still active by the warning lamp flashing twice at a ratio 2 Hz then illuminates continuously.

The warning lamp will flash at 2 Hz in belly out mode. Belly out mode is if the vehicle grounds out, then the suspension 
will raise to try and clear the underside of the vehicle.

If a new SLABS ECU is fitted the warning lamp remains illuminated until the ECU has been calibrated using TestBook.

The warning lamp will illuminate continuously if the voltage supply is less than 10 volts for 1 second.

The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The warning lamp is switched on 
according to the voltage present in the SLABS ECU to instrument pack earth path as follows:

l

< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.

l

> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.
