Adaptive Surface Response
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Adaptive surface response driving mode remains selected indefinitely, even after the ignition is switched off. Adaptive surface response driving mode must be deselected, if no longer required.
Adaptive surface response is a selectable mode on the JaguarDrive Switchpack (JDC) which replaces rain/ice/snow mode.
The adaptive surface response system detects different surfaces. It helps to enhance the vehicle's progress and stability, when driving on low, medium grip and soft surfaces. The adaptive surface response driving mode may be selected in adverse weather and driving conditions. These weather conditions can be icy or rainy conditions. Adverse driving conditions can occur on surfaces like grass, mud, gravel, deep sand or deep snow.
