Protect: During a vehicle breakdown, the driver can hail immediate assistance by selecting ‘Optimised Assistance' from the infotainment system or on the InControl Remote smartphone app. This connects a helpline assistant who will then assign a service unit to the vehicle location. In the event of a major accident, SOS Emergency Call will be automatically activated and the nearest emergency service will be deployed to the location.

Remote Premium: Through this, users can interact with their Land Rover through the InControl Remote app. The feature lets them control the cabin temperature before getting in the car. Furthermore, owners can lock/unlock the vehicle, receive notifications if the vehicle alarm has set off, flash the headlamps or beep the horns to help locate the vehicle in crowded parking lots and even fold the seats.
