Terrain Response


 GENERAL:
 Primarily for on-road. Can be used off-road. The vehicle is not optimized for a specific terrain. Air suspension and Hill Descent 
 Control systems need operating manually. CommandShift allows manual gear selections. Use this program if another cannot be
 chosen confidently. Special Programs can enhance the driving experience. Use them proactively, do not wait until the vehicle is
 in difficult terrain. Inappropriate program use will not endanger or immediately damage the vehicle.



 GRASS/GRAVEL/SNOW:
 For slippery conditions, on or off-road: wet; icy; snowy or surfaces covered with loose dirt or gravel. Vehicle systems avoid
 wheel spin. Response to the accelerator is cautious, vehicle will start in second gear. If engine performance is reduced by
 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) it may be necessary to disengage DSC temporarily. In soft snow, with wheels sinking in over half
 their height, if progress does not improve, try the Sand Program. DSC must be reactivated when the difficulty is overcome.



 MUD and RUTS:
 For traversing muddy terrain, possibly deeply rutted, slippery and relatively steep, or uneven terrain requiring extreme wheel
 displacement. Response to the accelerator is cautious. Some wheel spin may be noticed. If engine performance is reduced by
 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) it may be necessary to disengage DSC temporarily. DSC must be reactivated when the difficulty
 is overcome.



 SAND:
 For soft dry sandy ground, or any surface where wheels sink in deep: dry beaches, dunes and deserts. Response to the
 accelerator is pronounced. Engine revs will be kept relatively high. Wheels may spin noticeably. If engine performance is
 reduced by Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) it may be necessary to disengage DSC temporarily. DSC must be reactivated when
 the difficulty is overcome.



 ROCK CRAWL:
 For hard rocky ground with boulders, or steep terrain which calls for good speed control. The vehicle is optimized for maximum
 traction and extreme wheel displacements. Response to the accelerator is cautious. Drag may be noticed in tight turns at low
 speed. This is normal and caused by the electronically controlled differential(s). The program will cancel if the transfer box high
 range is engaged.
