Gradient Dependant Apply
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Land Rover LR2, 2014 Land Rover LR2, and 2013 Land Rover LR2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For all static apply modes, the EPB module varies the clamp load applied by the EPB actuators depending on the gradient the vehicle is on. On gradients of less than 10% a reduced clamp load of 11.40 kN is applied. On gradients of 10% and above the nominal clamp load of 16.5 kN is applied.
Gradient dependant apply is inhibited, and the nominal clamp load of 16.5 kN applied on gradients of less than 10%, if the EPB switch is held in the apply position for more than 3 seconds.
