Default Activating turn & brake lights

I am setting up my 2018 Disco 5 to be towed behind my Bus. I have everything figured out except turn signals and brake lights. Anyone have the wiring schematic?

Doesn’t it automatically apply the electronic parking brake? Doesn’t it shift into park? Isn’t it going to destroy your transmission?
Just asking.

Correct. It has to be towed on a trailer with all four wheels off the ground

If that's not possible in emergencies and for short distances you can put it in neutral, release EPB and then deploy the transmission park release to stop it going back into park by itself. I've never done it but it's somewhere in the owners manual
I wouldn't do it myself / I'd use a trailer

Yes there are emergency procedures in the owners manual. I wrote them on a card I keep in the console.

The emergency procedures can be used to tow it 4 down. There is a lever on the engine to disable the transmission park lock. I am adding a pump to the transmission (similar to the Remco unit) to keep it from over heating. Leave the car on and the steering wheel will not lock and yes, you have to release the parking brake.
