Driver Information

The high specification instrument cluster fitted to all vehicles with Terrain Response, contains a message center which displays vehicle information to the driver. The message center contains the Terrain Response program icons which display the currently selected program. If no symbol is displayed, no special program is selected and the system is in special programs off.

Any required changes to the subsystems are also passed to the driver in the form of indicator illumination in the instrument cluster or appropriate messages in the message center, HDC off or air suspension height change for example.

In certain operating conditions, the Terrain Response system also displays advice or warning messages to ensure the driver is using the vehicle to its full potential, e.g.,

• Steering angle is displayed in the message center to avoid driving in deep ruts with steering lock applied
• gear information is displayed to recommend a gear for slippery conditions
• if the system automatically provided off road ride height, but the driver subsequently lowers the vehicle to normal height, then the system may advise that this will cause a risk of grounding.

The messages which can be displayed in the instrument cluster message center are detailed in the Information and Message Center section. Refer to Information and Message Center article.
