CommandShift™

CommandShift gear selection can be used as 
an alternative to automatic gear selection and 
is particularly effective when rapid acceleration 
or engine braking are required.

• Select Sports mode. The transmission will 

automatically select the gear most 
appropriate to the vehicle's road speed and 
accelerator position.

• Moving the selector lever forward (+) or 

backwards (-) and then releasing will 
manually select a higher or lower gear 
(when available). The message 
TRANSMISSION COMMANDSHIFT 
SELECTED will appear in the message 
centre.

• Subsequent gear selections will display the 

selected gear on the instrument pack 
display.

• To deselect CommandShift mode, move 

the selector lever back to the D position.

Cruise control

Cruise control enables the driver to maintain a 
constant road speed without using the 
accelerator pedal.

1. SET + : to set a road speed or increase the 

speed in 2 km/h (1 mph) steps when cruise 
control is operating.

2. SET - : to set a road speed or decrease the 

speed in 2 km/h (1 mph) steps when cruise 
control is operating.

3. RESUME: resumes the SET speed retained 

in memory.

4. CANCEL: cancels cruise control but retains 

the set speed in memory.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

HDC operates in conjunction with the anti-lock 
braking system to provide greater control in 
off-road situations particularly when 
descending severe gradients.

Press the switch (arrowed in 
illustration) to select HDC. HDC can 
be selected at speeds below 80 

km/h (50 mph) but will not be fully active until 
the vehicle speed reduces below 50 km/h (30 
mph), confirmed by a continuously illuminated 
HDC indicator in the instrument pack. Press the 
switch again to deselect HDC.

Terrain Response system

The Terrain Response system, if fitted, is 
always active and cannot be switched off. 
When the vehicle is started the system will 
normally start in the General program.

Manual selection of a special program, by 
rotating the knob, will provide benefits in how 
the vehicle can be driven over different 
surfaces or terrains by automatically adjusting 
the vehicle's drive and suspension systems.

It is recommended that a special program be 
engaged whenever driving conditions could 
become difficult, and cancelled once the 
conditions for use are no longer present.

General

Suitable for surfaces that match 
typical road surfaces.

 Grass-Gravel-Snow

Suitable for surfaces which are firm 
but have a slippery surface, e.g. 
grass, snow, loose gravel, pebbles, 

or icy conditions. If the gravel is deep, the Sand 
program may be more beneficial.

 Mud-Ruts

Suitable for soft, muddy, uneven or 
deeply rutted ground.
