Freelander 2 ABS too good

Stv123 · Jan 19, 2019

Last year I had problems with the ABS stopping me from braking on slippery surfaces. The brakes work great on a dry or wet road but in snow the ABS just won’t let me put the brakes on to the extent last year I swerved off the road to void an oncoming car. (Just started snowing)

My questions are:-

1 does the terrain response alter the ABS sensitivity? and

2 If so is it safe to leave terrain response set to snow and Ice all the time?

Welcome. This is the introduction section, where you tell us about you and your vehicle. Tech questions are better off in the relevant model section.
There is also an operators manual, giving invaluable insight when looking for help. See below.

One thing to remember is that ABS cannot break the laws of physics, you can't stop quickly on snow or ice regardless of how clever the car is. In fact a 4x4 is often harder to stop because of the extra weight over a normal car, the big benefit is getting up hills that a car can't
