Range Rover Velar includes Biocidal Ionizer

The owner’s manual for the Range Rover Velar is live now and something caught my eye on the Front Climate page

l560-ictpd-ionizer

Although the numbering ends at 17 above, the textual descriptions go to 18.  And and instead of 17 being Auto as shown above, they list 17 as:

17. Air ionization icon: Touch to activate air ionization. The mode can only be activated when air distribution to the face mode has been selected. Selection of AUTO mode will deactivate the air ionization mode.

Further they add note with a cool sounding description:

A biocidal product may be fitted to this vehicle. The biocidal product is contained within an air ionizer. The air ionizer purifies the air in the passenger compartment by suppressing bacteria. The active substance is free radicals generated in situ from the ambient air or water.

Just sounds cool – will this help stop some of the bad smells that come out of current Land Rover AC systems?

Is this the mysterious Biocidal button?  Pac-Man?

Ovalnews Mock-up 2017, Is this what The Range Rover could look like with InControl Touch Pro Duo?

Photoshop’s Perspective Warp really helped to make this mock-up.  I know it’s not perfect and there is plenty to nitpick but the general concepts are there – InControl Touch Pro Duo, Steering Wheel Controls, Gauge graphic from Velar, Removed controls rear of Rotary Gear Selector.  I was going to stick a Land Rover logo on there but couldn’t get a version I liked.

Here’s my mock-up from July 2015 showing what we thought ICTP would look like in the Range Rover.  When it finally showed up in 2017 it was quite close…
