Freelander 2
LR2 | Tambora Flame
Safety and security
LR2 is packed with the latest primary safety systems and technology. Its extensive primary safety features – not least its responsive handling, ABS brakes, Electronic Traction Control and intelligent 4x4 system – help you avoid hazards. And the higher perspective of the Land Rover Command driving position gives you the advantage of spotting hazards well ahead of time.
A long list of primary safety features includes:
  • Anti-lock Braking System
  • Electronic Traction Control
  • Dynamic Stability Control
  • Roll Stability Control
  • Seven airbags
  • Remote control central locking on all doors
  • Perimetric and volumetric (where available) alarm systems.


Secondary safety features include:
  • Comprehensive seven airbag system
  • Immensely strong monocoque body and inner safety cell
  • Inner safety cell itself protected by front and rear crumple zones which absorb energy during impact
  • Side-impact protection is further assisted by the ultra-high-strength steel door beams, strong and deep door sills, and raised seat position
  • Strong facia cross-rails help minimise the risk of the front screen pillars spreading during impact
  • Roll Stability Control (RSC) system reacts quickly to help keep you on the road

Airbags
Seven airbags fitted as standard play a key role in helping to protect all occupants. Driver and front passenger airbags provide head and chest protection. Driver and front passenger side airbags give side impact protection. Full-length curtain airbags provide head impact and rollover ejection protection for all occupants. And there´s even a driver´s inflatable knee bolster for additional lower body protection.
Approach and departure angles
LR2 is a true Land Rover which means it´s built for ups and downs – literally. It has excellent approach (31°) and departure angles (34°), a minimum of 210mm ground clearance and a wading depth of up to 500mm. So you can take steep slopes, muddy fields and shallow streams in your stride.
Intervenes at the onset of wheel spin to progressively reduce engine Torque. If wheel acceleration has not been stopped within 50 milliseconds, braking force is applied to the wheel to help control its speed.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
Controls the distribution of brake forces between the front and rear wheels, to provide predictable braking under different load conditions.
Emergency Brake Assist
Detects emergency braking, then instructs the electronic brake actuator to increase hydraulic pressure to help you improve your stopping distance.
Cornering Brake Control
Feeds additional brake force to the outside front wheel when cornering, minimising the risk of rear-end breakaway when braking hard.
Dynamic Stability Control
If the car isn´t responding correctly to your steering input, this system intervenes in less than 10 milliseconds to adjust the vehicle´s course and cornering. It particularly helps the driver to maintain control in skid conditions.
LR2 benefits from the classic Land Rover Command driving position. This places the driver in an elevated position, inspiring confidence and a feeling of being in control. The improved visibility also means potential hazards can be spotted well in advance.
Security
LR2 features an engine immobilizer, which is only deactivated when the key fob is inserted. In addition  the central door locking system- conveniently operated at the touch of a button- activates the perimetric alarm, system guarding all the doors and the bonnet. A volumetric alarm- sensing intrusion within the interior- is also available (dependent on market). For added security, locking wheek nuts can be specified on models fitted with alloy wheels.
