BEFORE DRIVING OFF-ROAD
Before venturing off-road, it is absolutely
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:
Also, Off-Road training is available at Land
Rover Experience centres. Further information
is available at:
TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION
Terrain Response selection is via one of two
centre console switches. Depending on vehicle
specification, the control switches may include
a Dynamic program setting. Use the switches
to move through up to five program selections.
The currently selected program icon will be
displayed in the message centre.
DYNAMIC
This special program is associated
with a driving style rather than a type
of terrain. Choose this program for
exploiting the vehicle's full on-road potential,
providing a more focussed and involved
driving experience.
Note: Changing between 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
noticable.
When selected, this program optimises
handling and driveability characteristics for
maximum feedback and responsiveness.
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.
