(B1) MR_fanny Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 controls your revs/gears so you dont break traction in the snow/wet or something like that i think.

dezz Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I've driven an Astra with it, and it pretty much removes any/all power making it pretty much impossible to lose traction etc...

R-SPEC Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 car is auto right? im pretty sure all it does is make the car take off in 2nd gear instead of 1st. less chance of wheel spin in the "snow" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/221304-r34-snow-mode-button/#findComment-3901537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayuri Krab Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 car is auto right?im pretty sure all it does is make the car take off in 2nd gear instead of 1st. less chance of wheel spin in the "snow" Yeah, thats what it is for. Snow mode disables 1st gear, so you start from 2nd, in other words you take off really slow. My auto R33 has this as well, also a power mode.

Charles89 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Since auto's have the snow button, does that mean in a manual, you just start in 2nd gear to have the same effect?..

DogKnight Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Probably a good idea. I can definately start my car from a stand still in second. Dont imagine it any different for any other line. Just starts the car off rather slowly. So in conditions like ice or snow its ideal. Also if you're on a steep hill on a rainy day, may help also.
