The tree is the mud ruts setting
It can be used in auto or man mode - is it hill descent slowing you down Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW Still hoping for a S2 one day! |

The axle display shows the way your wheels are turned - if you move steering from side to side it should change accordingly

something is real wrong it is not a hill descent kicking, you just cant go further and the car brakes like hell with a huge noise. I used this setting 6 times and i got the axle on the screen only one time? tdv6s 2.7 2007 xkr 5 2010 Last edited by jagspete on Sun Jun 23 2013 1:59pm. Edited 1 time in total |

If you're in mud/ruts then HDC (Hill Descent Control) will be operational. If you come off the throttle then HDC will apply the brakes. That's what it does. Try turning off HDC whilst in mud/ruts (press the HDC button and the green HDC symbol will extinguish on the dash. See if the car still brakes when you come off the throttle. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

No it does not do it anymore if i push the button. But how rude it is if you don't push the button, it is surprising. Thank you guys so all is normal it should be this way? tdv6s 2.7 2007 xkr 5 2010 |

It's not rude - it's doing what it's supposed to do! The idea is to keep speed down on nasty steep slopes. If you use it on flat tarmac the system doesn't know that - it just thinks "ah, the speed is outside of my parameters so I'll bring it back" and it does that by braking.

To find the Handbook do the following. 1. Select Model 2. Select Year. 3. Click"find" 4. Click "owner" 5. Click "Owner's Handbooks" Ignore all other options. |

Thank you RRSTDV8 I will look at the discovery section for sure. I red it this part terrain response in Spanish and english but I will never thought it will have done this, locking all 4 wheels as hard ....and there is nothing written on the muds and ruts section about it. tdv6s 2.7 2007 xkr 5 2010 |

It shouldn't lock the wheels - it's designed to prevent the wheels locking. It is noisy in operation (later versions are much quieter/smoother by the way) as it uses the ABS system to pulse the brakes in order to the reduce/control the vehicle's speed. It's a very good system and the first time you send your RRS over a steep slope, both feet off the pedals, and it just walks down under control is amazing. I played with it on an icy hill this winter. It drove down nicely under total control. I then drove down it again without HDC just using the brakes. The vehicle slid all over the place. A very impressive display - I could barely stand up on the ice!
