Terrain Response System® Not for the faint of heart! You have not really had a total Land Rover experience until you’ve roughed and tumbled across the most treacherous terrain. Yes, we said it; take your brand spanking new sophisticated Land Rover off-road! It’s like having an ice cream Sundae without the topping, why would you? At first glance, it’s got Bond Street in the UK and Rodeo Drive in the US written all over it, but underneath lies the most remarkable of off-roading engineering. It’s what forms the essence of Land Rover, built on more than 60 years of technological expertise.
traction control system, air suspension, transmission, downhill descent control and drive-by-wire throttle to the type of terrain it is encountering. Newer models beginning with the 2013 Range Rover also include an “auto” mode that determines parameters based on what it senses.
the transmission shift pattern to maximize power.
The system itself is pretty easy to use — just turn the knob mounted in the cab to select one of several modes:
In 2005, Land Rover separated itself from the pack with the introduction of its patented Terrain Response System. Here in Jamaica, the Blue Mountains is where many have enjoyed the thrill of this brilliant off-roading technology which requires a mere turn of a knob.
Snow, wet grass and gravel - Throttle response is dialed back to reduce wheelspin, the transmission starts in second gear and the differential locks are set to be more aggressive. This is the first mode since it represents the type of terrain drivers are likely to encounter the most often.
Dynamic - This mode is for on-road performance - the suspension is stiffer, the transmission holds gears longer, and throttle response is more aggressive. Auto - This mode automatically senses what terrain it thinks the vehicle is encountering.
How Terrain Response Works Land Rover’s Terrain Response system integrates Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic Traction Control (ETC), Hill Descent Control (HDC), Gradient Release Control (GRC), Hill Start Assist, Roll Stability Control (RSC) and Air suspension height adjustment (where available). The core of Terrain Response is the knob that tailor the vehicle’s sophisticated
Normal - This is for driving on paved roads around town and on the highway.
Mud and ruts – this program is for deeper mud, ruts, and uneven surfaces. Like the previous mode, there’s more accelerator travel in order to prevent the wheels from needlessly spinning. In this mode, the transmission starts in first gear and the system recommends both low range and a raised suspension. Sand - To counter loose sand, the system dials back throttle response and changes
Rock crawl - Over larger moguls, drivers need reduced throttle response but a more aggressive traction control. This mode only works in low range since rock crawling is not to be done at speed.
The simple truth is that Terrain Response makes already capable Land Rover vehicles into off-road beasts for the 21st century. It’s the “go anywhere”, “do anything” vehicle. Try it!
