Question about 4x4 settings

I do not have the book with me so I am asking.
I turn the settings in 4x4 with the tree sign (in the middle) i was in automatic mode, the car brakes alone and will not let me go further. also an axle appear in the screen. In Manual mode it is fine, is it how it should be used? in manual mode only?

thanks in advance. tdv6s 2.7 2007

The tree is the mud ruts setting Thumbs Up

Mud/Ruts

This setting can make a dramatic difference on soft, wet ground where some degree of wheel-spin is important in order to maintain vehicle momentum. Since Low Range is recommended here, youŽll be prompted to switch the transfer gearbox selector when you select this program


It can be used in auto or man mode - is it hill descent slowing you down Confused 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!

no the car started braking real hard, in automatic, with this mode. what can it be, and I got an axle showing in the odometer screen tdv6s 2.7 2007

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

I suspect the braking was hill descent kicking in but maybe someone else can suggest an alternative explanation Confused

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

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
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

yes it was when releasing the accelerator or braking lightly it totally stopped it...I have a book but in Spanish. i spent hours reading it already.
Ok sorry SRE i could access the book thank you! tdv6s 2.7 2007

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

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.

If you'd spent some time reading up on the Terrarin Response system before playing with it you'd have known that this is what it would do Whistle . The HDC system is switchable precisely because on flat ground you don't necessarily want it to kick in e.g. on a muddy track. Indeed, on well-founded tracks you might be happy to use the brakes/low range as normal to keep speed down because the risks of locking wheels and sliding are much less.

This forum isn't so good for the in-depth technical stuff relating to the RRS - you should have a look on the D3 forum for a lot more useful stuff. There is a thread there about the TR system and how best to use it. Thumbs Up I'm not a member of the D3 forum but do look at it from time to time to look up some stuff. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

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

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!

As has been said before, these vehicles are hugely capable and it's a real shame that people never make use of even some of the ability they have paid for. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
