Terrain response
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 systems will return to their normal
settings except HDC. HDC will remain active if
it was selected manually.
WADING
The maximum advisable wading depth is
500mm (19.7in). If the vehicle remains
stationary in water above the door sill level,
severe electrical damage may occur.
Do not switch off the engine when
wading and avoid stopping. If the
engine stalls, restart immediately.
GRASS-GRAVEL-SNOW
This program should be used
where a firm surface is covered
with loose or slippery material.
If water has entered the engine air
intake, switch off immediately. The
vehicle must be recovered from the
water and be transported to a Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Note: For deep snow 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.
DRIVER OVERRIDE OPTIONS
Although Dynamic Stability Control is
automatically engaged when a special program
is selected, it can be turned off if required. See
91, DISABLING DSC.
MUD-RUTS
This program should be used for
crossing terrain that is muddy,
rutted, soft or uneven. HDC is
Hill Descent Control (HDC) will be
automatically engaged for some terrain
response programs. If required it can be
deselected or engaged independently of
Terrain response. See 96, HILL DESCENT
CONTROL (HDC) CONTROLS.
automatically selected with this program.
SAND
This program should be used for
terrain which is predominantly soft
dry sand or deep gravel.
The HDC status will be displayed on the
message centre whether it is engaged, or
disengaged, by the system or by the driver.
Note: If the vehicle is unable to gain traction in
extremely soft, dry sand, switching 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.
