INCONTROL PROTECT FAQS

InControl Protect consists of the following connected features:

SOS Emergency call: An automatic emergency call is triggered if the airbags deploy or if a vehicle rollover is detected. If these incidents occur, a call will be made automatically from the vehicle to the emergency response centre who will send out the appropriate emergency service. A manual SOS Emergency Call is initiated when an occupant presses the SOS Emergency Call button on the right hand side of the overhead console.

Optimized Land Rover Assistance: In the unlikely event of a breakdown, pressing the Optimized Land Rover Assistance button within the vehicle will use satellite positioning to automatically locate your vehicle and send vehicle health information to minimise delay. An Optimized Land Rover Assistance Call can also be made from within the Remote Smartphone App or calling Land Rover Assistance from a land line phone. (Only calls made by pressing the Optimized Land Rover Assistance button will provide the GPS location of the vehicle)

Smartphone App: The InControl Remote Smartphone App lets you prepare for a trip by checking fuel levels and range remotely. You can find your vehicle in a crowded car park and you can check to make sure you locked your vehicle and closed the windows. You can also download your journeys to assist in claiming business mileage expenses.

In an emergency situation where you require emergency services, press and release the button cover located on the right side of the overhead console. Press the button for 2 seconds to initiate an emergency call (once pressed the button will flash amber). A call is connected when the voice of a member of the emergency response team can be heard. The location of your vehicle will automatically be sent to the emergency response team who will send the appropriate emergency service to your location. Once the call is complete the button will revert back to red. Push the button cover back after use. NOTE: If a crash is detected or if the vehicle’s airbags deploy, an SOS Emergency Call will be automatically triggered.
