Auto box snow button. Woo Hoo!!

Who would've thunk that 40 days into my new R75, I would get to play with the snowflake button in earnest? It does what it says on the tin! After this lot's over, probably won't use it again for another 8 years.

Dougie.

I get born again with this feature and TC.
What an advantages they are for the Winter road conditions here

Nothing compares to John the Silver manual with no TC.
Imagine how it was for ~11 years!

I've used it for two days now

In Plymouth too, we don't get much frost let alone snow laying on the ground!!!

Even my 6 year daughter has been saying are you in snow mode Daddy!

I'm not using mine. No salty roads for my new baby!

My car's snow mode has had some good use today. The main roads have been fine but the smaller side roads have required snow mode's gentler touch.

Or just shift it into 2nd gear to start with! Not rocket science lol but it’s there to be used.
