V36 350Gt - Snow Button

[LegionMe]

I picked up my new 2006 V36 350GT SP (Bose system with Navi) on Tuesday and I cant say anything wrong with it.

I wish I knew Japanese so I understood what some of the things mean.

I understand that I don't have a financially reasonable ($5,000) chance of changing the software to english and I understood that from reading Chris Rogers posts and I really want to thank you Chris for all your information that you have put on here. I wish my iPhone 5 would be able to stream the music via bluetooth however just happy enough with it being able to answer and make calls using the bluetooth of the system.

What I would like to know is 2 things:

1) What is the Snow Button? I cant find any information on it? (my kids think its a button that will produce snow out the back whilst driving, I wish) (oh and they are still looking out the window for my new CarWings!)

2) Indicator sound is there a way to increase this as its really soft and i have to look and make sure it's on? (im sure if I increase the volume of this I will say "Too Loud") just thought in amongst the warren of settings that I do not understand there is one that says indicator volume. If not no stress.

If anyone could enlighten me on the Snow button that would be great!

I cant stop seeing Skylines now, I keep on passing them or they pass me. I didn't realise how many there were in Melbourne!

i know in the V35, that the snow button is used for driving in snowy conditions. it cuts out first gear and limits the throttle responce

Snow mode is just a button that activates some different values in the ECU map.

This can be used for low traction situations, to help the car proceed safely. It can be any of the following- reduce throttle sensitivity/response, gearbox locked into starting in a higher gear (2nd), and/or constant torque split in regards to AWD cars.

It is largely useless unless you are stuck in mud/sand or at the snow.

This has been covered several times now by new owners. The Fourm has a search function that is useful for this kind of stuff.

Thank you both for your responses.
