SAFETY AND SECURITY
Key to Discovery 3´s strength, safety and outstanding on-road and off-road dynamics is the Integrated Body-frame™. A Land Rover patented technology, it delivers more than the comfort, refinement and on-road attributes of a monocoque design. It sets new standards for off-road performance too.
 
Other features include Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Assist (EBA) which supplies extra brake pressure in an emergency, and Electronic Traction Control (ETC) which helps maintain optimum grip. There is also the option of Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), designed to warn you of low tyre pressure.
Eight airbags

Up to eight airbags are fitted: the front seats have both front and side airbags with each seat row having its own curtain airbags.

Integrated Body-frame™
On Discovery 3, we´ve integrated its body and chassis to form a construction that is much stronger and stiffer than a conventional chassis. This in turn enables safer, more precise handling as well as ensuring Discovery 3 can pass the most stringent crash safety tests.
Discovery 3 brings all the benefits of the characteristic Land Rover Command driving position. The higher seating position gives you the advantage of spotting hazards – such as motorway queues – well ahead of time. You´ll also be able to park with confidence thanks to your improved view of all four corners of the vehicle.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Active Roll Mitigation (ARM)
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Active Roll Mitigation (ARM) work with the braking system designed to correct cornering over or understeer and to help maintain stability at all times.

Available as an option, these headlights adapt their beams according to the vehicle´s attitude, direction and speed.
The powerful Bi-xenon lamps can move left, right, up or down in reaction to the vehicle´s speed, pitch and steering angle. This ability can be used to counteract the effects of hard braking, for instance, or when turning into bends so that the road surface and any hazards are properly illuminated.
Alarm and immobiliser
Discovery 3 is fitted with a comprehensive array of anti-theft measures and incorporates an engine management system immobiliser. Ultrasonic volumetric detection protects the interior against smash-and-grab style break-ins, while a perimetric detection system triggers the alarm if an attempt is made to open the boot, bonnet or any of the doors. Additionally, deadlocks inhibit the operation of interior door handles once the vehicle has been locked.
