Terrain Response™
The Terrain Response™ system allows the driver to select a program, which will provide the optimum settings for traction and performance for the prevailing terrain conditions.
The system is controlled by a rotary control located on the center console.
The system uses a combination of vehicle subsystems to achieve the required vehicle characteristics for the terrain selected. The following subsystems form the Terrain Response™ system:
- Engine management system
- Automatic transmission (if fitted)
- Transfer box
- Brake system
- Air suspension.
Each subsystem control module provides a feedback for the selected program so that the Terrain Response™ control module can check that all systems are controlling the system correctly. The exception to this is the electronic rear differential control module which does not provide feedback to the Terrain Response™ system as it is a slave to the transfer box control module.
