Cruise controlPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control enables the driver to maintain a
constant road speed without using the
accelerator pedal. This is particularly useful for
motorway cruising, or for any journey where a
constant speed can be maintained for a lengthy
period.
USING CRUISE CONTROL
1. Set target speed, or increase speed.
2. Decrease speed.
3. Resume set speed.
4. Cancels cruise contro l operation without
erasing memorised speed.
Note: Cruise control is not available in HDC, or
when a Terrain Respons e special program has
been selected.
Note: Do not use cruise control in traffic
conditions where a constant speed cannot
easily be maintained.
Note: Do not use cruise control on winding
roads, or in slippery conditions.
Note: Do not use cruise control when driving
off-road.
Note: Do not use cruise control with SPORT
mode selected.
Engaging cruise control
Note: Cruise control can only be engaged at
speeds in excess of 30 km/h (18 mph).
Accelerate until the desired spee d is reached,
then press the + switch to set the vehicle speed
into the system's memory. Cruise control will
now maintain that speed.
The cruise control warning
indicator will illuminate to confirm
cruise control is operational. Speed
can be increased using th e accelerator pedal as
normal, to overtake fo r example. As soon as
the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle
speed will return to the set cruising speed.
Note: If the accelerator pedal is pressed for
more than 60 seconds, cruise control will be
cancelled.
Suspending cruise control
Cruise control can be suspended by a single
press of the cancel switch. The warning
indicator will extinguish when cruise control is
cancelled.
Cruise control will also be suspended if the
brake pedal is pressed, the gear selector is
moved to N, or if HDC or DSC are activated.
To resume cruise cont rol operation at the
previously set speed, press the resume switch.
Note: The set speed will not be erased by
pressing the cancel switch. The set speed can
only be erased by switching off the ignition.
Reducing the cruise speed
To reduce cruising speed, press and hold the
— switch. Release the switch when the desired
speed is reached, the ne w speed will be set and
maintained.
The set speed can be reduced incrementally by
tapping the — switch. Each press of the switch
will decrease the spee d by 1 km/h or 1 mph
depending on which scale is in use.

Terrain responsePRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Terrain Response System provides an
opportunity for the driver to feed back terrain
information to the vehicle by choosing a
general setting or on e of three special
programs. It then uses that information to
optimise the vehicle's systems for improved
traction and driveability. It does this by
bringing together vehicle drive control systems
which usually opera te individually.
The drive systems optimised by the Terrain
Response Syst em are :-
• Engine management.
• Gearbox management.
• Intelligent coupling control.
• Dynamic stability, trac tion and Hill Descent
controls.
The system will provide a variable accelerator
pedal response, ranging fr om very cautious for
slippery conditions (w here a large pedal
movement has only a small effect on engine
power) to very respon sive (where engine
power is allowed to rise more quickly).
Note: Changing from one special program to
another will introduce noticeably different
responses. For example, the engine revs
produced by the current accelerator pedal
position, may increase or decrease in the new
program.
To familiarise y ourself and get the best from
the system you should try out the programs in
circumstances which are safe for you and other
road users.
Terrain response has been designed to benefit
the driver no matter what their level of off-road
driving experience. The system will aid those
with less experience, a nd enhance the skills of
those with more experience.
USING TERRAIN RESPONSE
Note: The Terrain Response System is
designed to be engaged before crossing
difficult terrain. Do not wait until control has
been lost before usi ng the special programs.
When the vehicle is started, the Terrain
Response System will be in its General
program. The General program will allow the
vehicle to operate capa bly in most conditions,
as some of the sub-systems will react to the
conditions where appropriate. When
conditions change, and more difficult
conditions are encountered, the appropriate
special program should be selected.
Before driving off-road
Before venturing off-road it is absolutely
essential that inexperi enced drivers become
fully familiar with the vehicle's controls. In
particular, CommandShift , Hill Descent Control
(HDC), and the Terra in Response system.
Basic information and off-road driving
techniques can be found in the off-road driving
handbook available on-line at
http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com
Off-road driver traini ng should be undertaken
by anyone intending to drive off-road. Training
is available at your nearest Land Rover
Experience centre. More details can be found at
http://www.landroverexperience.com
Driver override options
All systems will be se t to their optimum
parameters for the condi tions reflected in the
choice of special program. However, if
required, Hill Descent c ontrol can be operated
independently. See USING HDC (page 137). If
it has not been automatically selected by the
special program, it may be engaged as
required. Converse ly, if it has been selected,
but is not required, it may be turned off.

This program should be selected once the need
for a special program has passed. Once the
special program has been deselected, all of the
vehicle systems will retu rn to their normal
settings except HDC. HD C will remain active if
it was selected manually.
Grass-Gravel-Snow This program should be used
where a firm surface is covered
with loose, or s lippery material.
Surfaces covered in water, ice, slime, grass,
gravel, shale, pebbles, or a thin coating of sand
for example.
Note: For deep gravel it is recommended that
the Sand program is selected.
In slippery condi tions, it may be beneficial to
pull away in a higher gear than usual.
For information on the fitment and use of snow
chains. See USING SNOW CHAINS
(page 192).
For information on the fitment and use of
winter tyres. See USING WINTER TYRES
(page 183).
Note: If the vehicle is unable to gain traction in
deep snow, switching DSC off may help. DSC
should be switched on again as soon as the
difficulty is overcome. See USING TRACTION
CONTROL (page 139).
Mud-Ruts This program should be used for
crossing terrain that is muddy,
rutted, soft, or uneven.
Sand This program should be used for
terrain which is pr edominantly soft
dry sand, or deep gravel. Note:
If the vehicle is unable to gain traction in
extremely soft, dry sand, switching DSC off
may help. DSC should be switched on again as
soon as the difficulty is overcome. See USING
TRACTION CONTROL (page 139).
If the sand to be crossed is damp/wet, and
sufficiently deep to cause the wheels to sink
into the surface, the Mud-Ruts program should
be used.
System difficulties
Note: Selection of an in appropriate special
program will not endanger th e driver, nor will it
immediately damage the vehicle. However, if
continued, use of an incorrect program will
impair the vehicle's re sponse to the terrain,
and can reduce the durability of the drive
systems.
If the system becomes pa rtially inoperable for
any reason, it may not be possible to select
special programs. A wa rning will be given
when selection of a special program is
attempted. If the Te rrain response system
becomes totally inoperabl e, all of the program
indicators will be switched off, and the
message centre will display the relevant
message.
If a participating vehicle system becomes
temporarily inoperable, the General program
will be automatically selected. Once the system
returns to normal operation, the previously
active program will be re-activated unless the
ignition has been turned off in the mean time.
Terrain response messages
Messages relating to the terrain response
system are displayed on the message centre.
See INFORMATION MESSAGES (page 99).
Most of the messages th at appear will be for
information only, and require no driver
intervention, SAND PROGRAM SELECTED for

L
Hill descent control (HDC)PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
HDC operates in conjunction with ABS to
provide greater control when off-road,
particularly when desc ending steep slopes.
HDC operation is fully automatic when
engaged.
During a hill descent when driving off-road,
engine braking is used to control the speed of
descent. If engine braki ng alone is insufficient
to control the vehicle's speed, HDC will slow
the vehicle using the braking system. HDC will
control the descent speed relative to the gear
selected and accelerator position.
If the vehicle is fitted with a manual
transmission, HDC should onl y be used in first,
or reverse gears. If the vehicle is fitted with an
automatic transmission, HDC should only be
used in D, R , or CommandShift 1. When in D
the vehicle will select the most appropriate
gear.
Note: HDC is automatically selected by some
of the Terrain response special programs.
Gradient release control (GRC)
With HDC activated, if the vehicle is stopped on
a slope using the footbrake, GRC will become
active. When the footbrake is released GRC will
automatically delay the brake release to allow
take up of drive, and build up of engine torque.
The brakes will then gradually release to allow
the vehicle to move smoothly away under the
control of HDC.
GRC operates in forwar d and reverse, and
requires no driver intervention.
Before driving off-road
Before venturing off-road it is absolutely
essential that inexperi enced drivers become
fully familiar with the vehicle's controls. In
particular, CommandShift , Hill Descent Control
(HDC), and the Terra in Response system.
