Terrain assist page “relieved” of hill start and grade assist segments

Terrain assist

Similar to our recent Drive Mode Page improvements, we’ve made significant changes to our Terrain Assist indicators page, the result of which is a far simpler and more navigable page.

To accomplish this, we created a new Hill Start Assist indicator page and a new Grade Assist indicator page. In effect, the first covers systems that help climb a hill and the second helps keep a driver from rolling downhill.

The point, of course, is that, while all these systems — including Terrain Assist— are truly related. The systems use the same automotive functions to help keep a vehicle under control under stressful or difficult conditions.

However, the insistence of manufacturers to create new images for their own models results in a ridiculous and unnavigable number of indicators on bloated pages. We’ve determined that the only real cure is to separate functions even if they are related to each other.

It leaves us with the unenviable task of chasing down links in tables going back 15 years.

But we’ll get it done!
