In response to customer feedback, a Power Tailgate is to be introduced for Range Rover Sport from 12MY. The tailgate design changes to a single-piece design from the current "split design" to allow for the power functionality.
Power Tailgate will feature as standard for all derivatives. Operation is as follows:
Opening: either via a button on the facia, via the smart key or via a button on the tailgate
Closing: either through the tailgate button or smart key.
Lift Height Adjustment: The tailgate height can be adjusted by the user manually overriding the lift and holding the tailgate at the desired height

Pressing the tailgate button for 10 seconds will memorise the height and angle of lift
•
On the next power tailgate operation, tailgate will only raise as high as the height set

Height can be manually overidden i.e. where second driver is taller and wants tailgate higher. However, the vehicle will memorise the previously set height until the height adjustment process is repeated.

3.4 Audio Systems and Infotainment
Significant advancements have been made to the audio systems and In Car Entertainment (ICE) technologies from 12MY. These improvements have been enabled through the introduction of new Gen 2.1 MOST electrical architecture. From 12MY the audio systems have been revised as follows:

A number of feature improvements and benefits have been added to the HDD Navigation System.

12MY RANGE ROVER SPORT PRODUCT BRIEF
Revised Touchscreen display
The functionality and operation of the navigation system is the same as 11MY.
A new process has been developed for updating the hard-disc drive navigation map data via either a regional
DVD disc or USB device and can be performed at the dealership.
The navigation system continues to feature voice activation, TMC traffic messaging (market infrastructure dependent), 4x4 information and off-road navigation.
3.4.2
"Say What You See" Voice Activation
'Say-What-You-See' Voice Activation helps the driver learn voice commands by displaying them in the touchscreen.
The commands are displayed in "step-by-step" format, with the first step showing the different devices that can be controlled (e.g. phone, navigation, etc) and the second step showing the different voice commands for that device e.g. for phone: "call contact", "dial number", "dial voicemail".
Once a user is familiar with the system and has remembered some of the voice commands e.g. "phone" and then "dial voice tag" it will be possible to say these commands together as a shortcut, without waiting for the next step e.g. "phone dial voice tag".
Speech control of the following devices is supported:
•
Phone (including dialling a name without needing to store a voice tag first).
•
Navigation (including Destination Entry by Voice).
•
USB/iPod - Basic control (On/Off, Mix On/Mix Off).
•
CD/Virtual CD Changer.
•
Radio.
•
DAB
•
Aux - Basic control (Select as audio source).
•
Rear Entertainment - Basic control (Allows front user to turn it off, if fitted).
•
Notepad.
•
Voice Settings/Tutorial (learning how to use the system).
12MY RANGE ROVER SPORT PRODUCT BRIEF
Once the user has activated the speech system using the PTT (Push-to-Talk) button on the steering wheel they are presented, initially, with a main menu page, from which they can say their preferred selection. The graphical menu then updates to display the next set of appropriate commands. These menus continue to lead the user through an interaction flow until they have completed the task of their choice entirely through a speech interaction.
Say What You See Voice Activation
