Terrain Response System (TerrainResponse)
Terrain Response system Land Rover patented invention is an innovative technology, in 2004 first used in the Land Rover discovery 3. Land Rover sport utility vehicle series now most of them use the technology.
In the Land Rover all-terrain feedback adaptive system a total of five gear set, as follows: normal, the grass – sand – snow, mud and ruts, sand, rock mode. Here eleven Analysis:
Normal mode (default setting)
In this mode, all subsystems of the vehicle will adopt the default setting state suitable for driving under the common terrain. Common settings can be adapted to all road and off-road terrain, but did not play the optimal vehicle performance under the conditions of the terrain.
where Hill Descent Control system can open and to be closed (inactive where appropriate).
if the driver to manually turn off the Dynamic Stability Control, it can still be re-activated to provide the greatest possible stability.
cruise control function can be canceled, but not all modes have this function.
the grass – sand – snow mode
upshift operation region, selected from the second gear when started, to prevent wheel slip.
zone downshift operation, third gear is selected when starting, to prevent wheel slip.
moving the automatic transmission mode is not available, but the manual / automatic shift mode integration.
a manual transmission. Upshift operation area, selecting the information center to inform the driver when starting the second gear to prevent wheel slip start. Manual transmission. Low speed operation region, the information center to inform the driver when starting third gear selected, in order to prevent wheel slip starts.
the center and rear differentialsSetting a predetermined increase, reduce the possibility of wheel slip.
ruts and mud
The reaction of the engine change. Progressive throttle, the possibility of wheel slip when starting small, can achieve a smoother driving.
The automatic transmission is provided to change the motion of the automatic transmission mode is not used (but manual / automatic integration shift mode).
and the central rear differential setting change, but the specific details are not available.
sand Mode
The automatic transmission setting change, and then changing the gear change immediately lower gear.
moving the automatic transmission mode is not available, but the manual / automatic shift mode integration.
wherein the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is provided, the dynamic stability control is provided, an electronic traction control system (ETC) setting change.
As the low speed zone (20 km / h or less speed), air suspension automatically rises to the height of off-road.
If the case where the air suspension to be raised at the time, or the driver has reduced the vehicle speed is not raised, dashboard alerts. If the air suspension did not rise to the height of the cross-country normally should be achieved, the information center will issue an alert, but it is believed there may be hung up after the car trailer.
Rock Mode
Set the automatic transmission changes gear automatically started at first, to maintain a longer period of time, or at a faster rate in the high change gear to a , to achieve the maximum low-speed control. Low gear must be selected area before the rocks with electronic traction control system (ETC) is provided, the central and rear differential setting change, a very high preload is provided to reduce the likelihood of wheel slip.
Hill Descent Control system automatically. In order to achieve the greatest possible control automatically selects the minimum target speed. Hill Descent Control system will change the reaction might set in extreme conditions.
As the low speed zone (20 km / h or less speed), air suspension automatically rises to the height of off-road.
If no ignition system is turned off if more than 6 hours, the selected mode is automatically canceled in order to reduce the chance of an improperly conditions employed using this mode accident occurs.
clear from the Terrain Response system is actually studied the driving characteristics under certain road conditions in a Land Rover, put some of the more mature writer in driving habits, and preset in the set vehicle control mode. In this complex terrain, the driver can select the appropriate mode of road conditions, so that the system automatically optimizes the control system adapted to the respective terrain, without necessarily requiring specialized knowledge and experience in this area, also can focus on vehicle operation, greater driving pleasure.
