Hi Hristo,

Thanks for that. Yes, that is exactly how I thought Snow mode should operate - start moving in second gear to help reduce wheelspin. I see it also upshifts at a lower, less torquey RPM - again to help prevent wheelspin. Lastly, I see that it does not restrict access to any gear except first.

Some of the previous explanations left me scratching my head.

Cheers,
Glenn

I was gobsmacked at how well that snow button works, a tail of cars all stuck on a hill and the 75 just tootled up it no problem. I had one instance of wheel spin in two days and that was before i pushed the button, it was as easy to drive in the snow as my discovery is.

Yep, I went to reposition our daughter's car about 20 yards but managed 6 feet. Just would not move despite reverse/2nd/reverse/2nd etc. Much lighter than the Rover and no snowflake!!
