Land Rover Wade Sensing and ClearSight Technology Guide
Land Rover Wade Sensing provides real-time information about surrounding water depth when an equipped vehicle is wading, while ClearSight technologies improve visibility around areas normally hidden from the driver's view. These capabilities can be especially useful when navigating appropriate water crossings, trails, boat ramps, and other challenging terrain. At Land Rover Jacksonville, we can show you how these technologies work and which models offer them.
Wade Sensing Reads Water Depth in Real Time
Ultrasonic sensors mounted beneath the exterior mirrors measure the water level immediately around the vehicle and provide real-time pictorial information on the touchscreen. Wade Sensing compares that measurement with your maximum wading depth and provides visual and audible warnings as the water approaches that limit. Maximum capability varies by your new Land Rover model and its equipment, with select configurations capable of wading through up to 35.4 inches of water.
Wade Sensing only measures the water the vehicle is currently in; it cannot determine the depth ahead, identify sudden drops, or tell you whether a crossing is safe. Always assess the depth, current, route, and exit before entering water, and avoid floodwater or moving water.
ClearSight Technologies Reveal More Around Your Vehicle
ClearSight Ground View works with the 3D Surround Camera system to visualize the area normally hidden beneath and immediately ahead of the vehicle. Displayed on the central touchscreen with trajectory overlays, this camera-generated view can help you position the wheels around rocks, ruts, curbs, and other obstacles when traveling off-road or maneuvering through tight spaces. Because the displayed Ground View imagery is not live, you should always check your surroundings as well.
The available ClearSight Interior Rear View Mirror addresses a different visibility challenge. At the touch of a control, it switches from a conventional mirror to a digital display fed by a high-mounted rear-facing camera, providing an unobstructed view behind the vehicle even when passengers, cargo, or rear pillars block the normal sightline.
Useful Visibility for Florida Adventures
Around Northeast Florida, Land Rover capability can come into play well beyond ordinary pavement, from unpaved access roads and trails to boat ramps and appropriate shallow-water crossings. Wade Sensing provides useful depth information when an equipped vehicle is already wading, while ClearSight technologies can help you judge nearby terrain and obstacles that would otherwise be difficult to see. Together, these systems provide additional information while leaving responsibility for assessing conditions with the driver.
