Land Rover Defender: Terrain response overview
Terrain response comprises a number of different driving programs that can be selected to suit the current terrain, driving conditions, or driving style.
Each driving program alters various vehicle settings, including suspension height, engine speed, and the amount of steering effort required.
The following driving programs are available:
COMFORT.
GRASS GRAVEL
SNOW.
MUD RUTS.
SAND.
ECO.
DYNAMIC.
ROCK CRAWL.
WADE.
CONFIGURABLE TR.
AUTO.
Depending on the specification of the vehicle, either the comfort or AUTO driving program is automatically selected when the vehicle's ignition is switched on.
An alternative driving program can be selected via the front control panel.
To view additional information on the selected driving program:
1. Touch the apps icon on the touchscreen driver side bar.
2. Select 4x4i.
3. Select TR INFO.
Terrain response works in conjunction with the Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) systems to further enhance the vehicle's capabilities.
