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.
Information relating to the suitability of
each Terrain response program on
different types of surface, can be found in
the 4x4i section of the Extra features
menu. 82, EXTRA FEATURES.
Terrain response selection is via the centre
console buttons. See 304, DRIVER
CONTROLS. 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.
Note: Vehicles fitted with the Dynamic
pack will have reduced off-road capability.
Always be aware of the lowest point of the
bumper and maintain sufficient ground
clearance, at all times.
Remove the towing eye covers
before driving off-road, to prevent
damage or loss.
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 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 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
Hill Descent Control (HDC). HDC will
remain active if it was selected manually.
This general program also allows the
Active Driveline system 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. See
82, EXTRA FEATURES
Note: Permanent 4 wheel drive is
maintained in all other Terrain response
programs.
GRASS/GRAVEL/SNOW
This program should be used
where a firm surface is covered
with loose or slippery material.
Note: For deep gravel, it is recommended
that the Sand program is selected.
