A driver advice system for a vehicle having at least one vehicle subsystem 12a-12e such as an engine management system, transmission system steering system, comprises selection means 20 which receives at least one driving condition indicator, e.g. terrain indicator signals 17, 22, 26, from an estimator module 18. The selection means/module 20 serves an automatic special program selector (ASPS) algorithm and selects, from a plurality of settings, a preferred setting for the at least one vehicle subsystem in response to the at least one driving condition indicator. The driver advice system includes an indication means 34 for providing to the driver an indication of the preferred setting for one or more of the vehicle subsystems 12a-12e. The indication means 34 may be a visual display device and/or an audio device and/or a kinaesthetic device. If vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined threshold and the preferred setting is a low range the indicating means is inhibited. |
