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!

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.

You can't make the auto box set off in 2nd other than by using the snow button...
