I couple of questions as I am fairly new to the freelanders.
Can i change betweenn terrain modes while my car is moving or do i have to wait until i have stopped,and which gear do i need to in with the hill descent mode on?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I changed mine mid way through to a loud crunching noise!!!! car halted and was left stranded. I could get no gears whatsoever. Car was written off!!! Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

Only jowkun!!!

No issues changing mine from being in the snow back to normal mode!!! go for it!!! Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

I never touch that dial at anything less than 100 mph At work

hi hill descent works in 1st gear and reverse and also 2nd gear up to a certain speed,you can also slow the car down on the + and - button for the cruise control (don't touch the brake peddal just let the car do it ). I agree no issues changing from one mode to another. Enjoy the snow.

the worst that it will do is say on the little screen "HDC not available in this gear" or speed to high for selected program"

you WILL feel differences too, ie the throttle response will get more/ less sensitive depending on setting chosen

recommend reading the manual, then going out and playing with it,,

Hey

Some of us havent even got terrain response control - And as they said on the experience you don't need it if you can drive! Its like having an experienced landrover instructer sitting next to you for dummies

Hill desent is a whole different ball game - works well on a 1 in 5 desent  telfire

One thing to keep in mind if you are out in this snow we have just now.
Although snow mode is good in most conditions it does blunt the preformance and the car can bog down.
Swap to sand more if you need to get through some drifts and the like.
Was out at the Landrover Experience last week and it was there the instructor told us to use it. Might get you out

hill decent control will also work if your in neatral ( manual box)

It will but it is only using the brakes to slow you, much safer in first where it uses engine braking and the brakes The missus - SD4 HSE - Black - 2012
