Default green S light on dashboard?

i went to US yesterday, lined up for 1 hour finally get through the border, but there is a green S warning light came up.

we checked owner's manual, it says it is indicating Sports Mode, we are not sure why it came out, and how to get rid of it.

please help!

Press the "MODE" button on the PRNDL that will turn it off.

higher performance. makes the land rover feel and act spunkier. carefule though, it consumes gas at a greater rate.

The "S" stands for "Stupid, RTFM".

Just curious but how do you even get through life?

thanks, we filled up a whole tank of US gas, 30-40% cheaper than Canadian gas

In high range.. push the "mode" button. the light on the dash is a picture of a gear with an "s" in the middle.
this is an indicator that you are in "sport" mode. while in this mode, your trans will kick into passing gear easier and the engine will rap out to a higher rpm before shifting.
If you are in Low Range and push the Mode button and you will or should see a light on the dash similar to before, only there will be an "M" in the middle. This is an indicator that you are in "manual" mode.
When in this mode your trans will stay in whatever gear you select. I.E. 1,2,3,D etc.
