TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION
Before venturing off-road, it is essential that
inexperienced drivers become fully familiar
with the vehicle's controls. In particular Hill
Descent Control (HDC) and the Terrain
Response system. Basic guidance for off-road
driving can be found in the Land Rover
Off-Road Driving handbook. This is a free
download at: www.ownerinfo.landrover.com.
Information relating to the suitability of each
Terrain Response programme on different
types of surface can be found in the 4x4i
section of the Extra features menu. 69, EXTRA
FEATURES.
Terrain Response selection is via the centre
console buttons, as illustrated. Use the buttons
to move through the program selections. The
currently selected program icon will be
displayed in the Message centre and the
relevant LED indicator will illuminate.
Note: Changing between the special programs
will alter various vehicle settings, e.g., engine
revs while at the current accelerator pedal
position may alter, or the steering feel might
change. These changes are not dramatic but
will be noticeable.
It is advisable to experiment with the available
settings in an environment that will not affect
other road users.
GENERAL PROGRAM (SPECIAL
PROGRAMS OFF)
This program should be selected once the need
for a special program has passed. Once the
special program has been deselected, all of the
vehicle's systems will return to their normal
settings except for HDC. HDC will remain active
if it was selected manually.
This general program also allows the Active
Driveline system (if fitted) to automatically
switch between 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel
drive, dependent on driving conditions. This
status can be viewed in the 4x4i section of the
Extra features menu.
Note: Permanent 4 wheel drive is maintained in
all other Terrain Response programs.
GRASS/GRAVEL/SNOW
Note: For deep snow and gravel it is
recommended that the Sand program is
selected.
Note: If the vehicle is unable to gain traction in
deep snow, switching DSC off may help. DSC
should be switched on again, as soon as the
difficulty is overcome.
This program is compatible with
all on and off-road conditions. If
not already active, it should be
selected before driving on
surfaces which are similar to a
hard road surface. Dry cobbles,
tarmac, dry wooden planks, etc.,
all fall into this category.
This program should be used
where a firm surface is covered
with loose or slippery material.
