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.
