Hill Descent Control (HDC)

HDC operates in conjunction with the anti-lock
braking system to provide greater control in
off-road situations particularly when
descending severe gradients.

Press the switch (arrowed in
illustration) to select HDC. HDC can
be selected at speeds below 80

km/h (50 mph) but will not be fully active until
the vehicle speed reduces below 50 km/h (30
mph), confirmed by a continuously illuminated
HDC indicator in the instrument pack. Press the
switch again to deselect HDC.

Terrain Response system

The Terrain Response system, if fitted, is
always active and cannot be switched off.
When the vehicle is started the system will
normally start in the General program.

Manual selection of a special program, by
rotating the knob, will provide benefits in how
the vehicle can be driven over different
surfaces or terrains by automatically adjusting
the vehicle's drive and suspension systems.

It is recommended that a special program be
engaged whenever driving conditions could
become difficult, and cancelled once the
conditions for use are no longer present.

General

Suitable for surfaces that match
typical road surfaces.

Grass-Gravel-Snow

Suitable for surfaces which are firm
but have a slippery surface, e.g.
grass, snow, loose gravel, pebbles,

or icy conditions. If the gravel is deep, the Sand
program may be more beneficial.

Suitable for soft, muddy, uneven or
deeply rutted ground.
