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 centre console. The rotary control allows the selection of one of the following five programs:
- Special programs off (general driving conditions)
- Grass/Gravel/Snow
- Mud/Ruts
- Sand
- Rock crawl.
The Terrain Response™ 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
- Rear locking differential (if fitted)
- 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. Refer to Ride and Handling Optimization article.
