Range Rover P38A going back down, Brindabella Bowl

[Porsche1080]

i know there is a gear selector for descending gradients (i have a P38 4.0 SE), but is it considered "hill decent control" ? cause the dealer demonstrated going down a hill in Arizona without using the brakes, but i'm really not sure whether it's made to do so.

@Porsche1080 Hill Descent Control is mostly for vehicles that don't have a low range gearbox. The P38 has low range, and the "sport" button when low range is selected becomes a "lock in this gear" button. So if you select Low 2 and press the Sport button, the car will not shift up or down out of 2, Who needs HDC with low range and Traction Control? Cheers, Paul.

these are serious offroad machines but expensive when damaged.
