Land Rover Discovery: Traction control
The Electronic Traction Control (ETC)
system operates in conjunction with
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and is
designed to assist if any of the wheels lose
traction, causing wheel spin.
If a wheel loses traction, then ETC will
operate the brake on that wheel and may
also manipulate the engine output, until
the wheel regains traction. The DSC
amber warning lamp will flash to confirm
that ETC is active.
Suspension
ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS
The Adaptive dynamics continuously
monitors road and driver inputs. It detects
rough road and off-road conditions,
enhances the vehicle's suspension settings
to suit each surface type and adjusts
control for greater ride comfort.
Adaptive dynamics is also linked to the
Terrain response dynamic program,
modifying the suspension settings for a
more sporting character.
If an adaptive dynamics fault message is
displayed in the Message centre, the
vehicle can still be driven. The fault may
be temporary. If the fault persists, seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
