Yesterday we had 10 cm snow fall after 1 week of snowless sunshine weather.
I drove home in the evening with nearly all streets clean and dry again.

On one place where the wind did cover the streets with snow, my FL2 running at 80 km/h suddenly drifted to the left, than right, left again… I did not brake just slowed down…
I already saw my FL2 in the next tree… but the Terrain Response System switched on automatically to snow and did get my car out of this save without any damage.

I had the terrain response system set to normal when I left.

So does the terrain response system switch automatically to the desired mode when needed? Freelander 2 SE 4Td Izmir Blue, Dog cage for Alaskan Malamute, iphone Navigon Navigator

strange not supposed to do that, it can do funny things upon start up of the car, depending what setting it was last used it at At work

Sounds like a faulty dial if it switched to GGS on it's own

I think it was the DSC that saved you.

I had it jump to life on some black ice, no TR setting was switched on Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I think the DSC system on LR vehicles is quite intrusive even in normal mode, it's caught me on some black ice before and saved me (luckily I would have just slid down into another clear road but that's not the point)

Land Rovers aren't intended to be driven like clarkson and co drive them, so LR probably engineer them to eliminate slides almost entirely. Good thing I say. GGS just makes everything even more sensitive and progressive. Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

Mine did that once - in ice/snow the car started slipping as I reached for the TC it was already on! Never done it since - I dont think I imagined it But I have now got 19" with cross contacts instead of the pirelli p0 tyres - much better grip. G4 Freelander 2005 V6 HSE Stage 1 Thailand/Laos.

Yes, it does do that occasionally in slippery snow or ice conditions. I never thought too much about it when it has done this just accepted it but it is not constant and it doesn’t do it all the time. It has happened to my TR in winter on the hills to and from the mountain cabin when it is slippery on the hills, so maybe it is acute sliding that activates the TR automatically.

As it does not mention this "function" in the book, so possibly a software “error” that helps us out sometimes  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

It wouldn't be impossible for TR to be switched to a different mode by the electronics if excessive DSC intervention was detected but I'm not aware that it's a feature. Wouldn't be a bad feature though as it would configure the car more safely for the conditions that it thinks it's encountered?

I'm not convinced it 'should' do it. as in programmed in, because on snowy lanes when, err, playing in normal and snow, even when I provoked the car to interfere in normal it didn't change to GGS, all that happens is the Light on the dash flickers and then goes off when it stops detecting slip. Are people's car's just doing this, or is the GGS icon on the TR knob actually lit up? Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
