Range Rover Evoque - MUD-RUTS; SAND; DYNAMIC; DRIVER OVERRIDE OPTIONS

Note: If the vehicle is unable to gain
traction in deep snow, switching Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC) off may help. DSC
should be switched on again, as soon as
the difficulty is overcome.
MUD-RUTS
This program should be used
for crossing terrain that is
muddy, rutted, soft or uneven.
SAND
This program should be used
for terrain, which is
predominantly soft dry sand or
deep gravel.
Note: If the vehicle is unable to gain
traction in extremely soft, dry sand,
switching Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
off may help. DSC should be switched on
again as soon as the difficulty is overcome.
If the sand to be crossed is damp/wet and
sufficiently deep to cause the wheels to
sink into the surface, the Mud-Ruts
program should be used.
DYNAMIC
This program is associated with
a driving style, rather than a
type of terrain and optimises
traction, handling and
driveability, for maximum
feedback and responsiveness.
Select this program to exploit
the vehicle’s full on-road
potential.
DRIVER OVERRIDE OPTIONS
Hill Descent Control (HDC) is automatically
engaged for some Terrain response
programs. If required, HDC can be
deselected or engaged independently of
Terrain response. See 143, HDC
CONTROLS.
The HDC status will be displayed on the
Message centre, whether it is engaged or
disengaged, by the system or by the
driver.
Although Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
is automatically engaged when a special
program is selected, it can be switched
off, if required. See 110, SWITCHING DSC
OFF.
SYSTEM DIFFICULTIES
Use of an incorrect program will
impair the vehicle's response to the
terrain and can reduce the life of
the suspension and drive systems.
If the system becomes partially inoperable
for any reason, it may not be possible to
select a special program.
If a participating vehicle system becomes
temporarily inoperable, the General
program will be automatically selected.
Once the system returns to normal
operation, the previously active program
will be reactivated unless the ignition has
been switched off in the meantime.
If you try to select an inappropriate special
programme, the relevant indicator will
flash amber and the Message centre will
provide further information. If the
appropriate action is not taken within 60
seconds, the warnings will cease and the
Message centre will show the active
program.
