it means none of the terrain response programmes are available for selection

often this is related to a low battery voltage issue ,if your D3 battery is over 5 yrs old it might be worth a check especially in the colder temps we are starting to get now

Hi,

The special programs are the options for the terrain response, hill descent control etc.

This message can sometimes appear when you first start the vehicle if your battery level is a little low, might be your first place to look.
