Snow mode

[Ian Key]

We've had a smattering of snow here covering the roads with a hard crunchy icey surface so I thought I'd try snow mode. It works OK and makes it harder to spin the back wheels when accelerating.

The ABS also works and sounds like you are crushing a plastic bottle under the wheel.

Yep, think snow mode work's well. Couple of times last Winter, thought it was really good.

Does it just deaden the throttle response or is it something more sophisticated?

Think it just puts it in 4WD obviously. And deadens, throttle response. So you start off nice and easy. As opposed to 4WD in Sports mode, when you've got the full beans. Whatever it is, it seams, to work.

Do you use it also with good success on RWD? Also, is it benefitial also for ice or only snow?

Not sure, as mines an X Power and obviously puts it into 4WD. Wouldn't think it would be as beneficial on ICE, because on snow you have at least got a bit of grip. On pure ICE, you ain't got much, if any That's my thinking, anyway
