#RANGE ROVER VELAR BLUETOOTH#

Many owners of Velar had problems with pairing and functionality of their phones over the Bluetooth connection with the car. ICE system shuts down when you lock the car, so that is the only fix needed, remembering to lock it. When you turn off the engine, the infotainment system is not shut down, and it continues to drain the battery. The cause of this is a combination of the weird design of the electrical system and user error. This is not a problem specific for Velar but for practically all Land Rover vehicles in the past half a decade or more.Īfter you drive it home or to some similar destination and leave the vehicle overnight, in the morning, you likely will not be able to start it because of the drained battery. The only fix for this is replacing the brake light switch. The culprit, in this case, is a faulty brake light switch, and the vehicle’s computer detects it as unsafe for driving and locks it in the Park. With gear selector refusing to change in any other mode. Quite randomly, with no rhyme or reason, you could find your Velar stuck in Park when you start the engine. While there are various electrical problems with the Range Rover Velar that can crop up from time to time, they usually go away on their own, particularly problems that are just annoying.īut, two particular problems could render the vehicle stuck in Park or unable to start because of the low battery. Also, when extracted, the door handle can stand crookedly instead of parallel with the doors.īoth of these problems are caused by faulty door handle mechanisms, and the only fix is to have them replaced at a dealership. The first one is that randomly any doors handle can fail to extract when unlocking remotely, and doors can’t be opened from inside either. While these are different problems, they can happen equally often and have the same solution. If the handle is retracting just partially, the only solution is to push them flush with your hand. If they fail to extract, the solution is to remotely pre-warm the cabin.Īnd spray some defroster on door handles, and in less than a minute, they will operate normally.Ī longer-term solution is to spray some PTFE spray, which will allow for any ice to slide off easily.

If you live in colder climates and also during the winter freezing temperatures, ice can form inside the door handles, either preventing them from extracting when unlocking or fully retracting when locking the vehicle.Īs a rule, this does not affect the driver’s door’s handle, but some or all other three. More specifically, the electric motor that extracts and retracts the handles is on the weak side. The door handle mechanism is not very robust. When you pull the handle, toward the rear is this hinge where you need to spray some silicone lubricant. This problem is very easy to fix because it is caused by the lack of lubrication on the door handle hinge. And it also happens when you lock the vehicle after exiting it.įor a while, the door handle will stay open, and eventually, just pop in with an audible thud that can surprise you and make you think that something has broken. This can happen only on one or all door handles. Once you unlock the car, door handles extract, and you enter it, they can get stuck, not retracting when the vehicle starts moving. Moreover, some people report them after less than a day of owning this vehicle, while for others, it can take between a few days to a few months for it to happen. The door handle problems that many owners of the Range Rover Velar are reporting are very infuriating ones.Įspecially when you consider why this type of problem happens on these SUVs.

There are two main problems that can happen with door handles, depending on the environment in which the vehicle is used.įor both problems, Land Rover has stated that it is just a visual problem and that the doors are completely and safely locked.
