I'm pretty certain you can. I think it disengages 1st gear and does not do too many gear changes giving you (hopefully) more continuous traction. That's my understanding

As Andrew says above.
Misses first gear and seems to change at different revs. to normal Once out of the white stuff best to use one of the other two options. Last edited by JohnDotCom; 8th February 2009 at 22:47.. |

I used that for most of last week!
I've driven a lot of Auto's over the years, but never one with such a big difference in changes between Snow, Economy, and Sports Mode.. They really do make a big difference on the 75. |

I used the snow mode for most of last week when I was in the snow. It is excellent. When I was out of the snow I switched it back to normal.

I leave it in snow / ice mode whilst actually on snow. It seems to do the job admirably.
Subjectively, if I leave it selected once on a clear road, it makes the car seem sluggish though. |
