snow button

[hippy]

was wondering what the snow button does on an automatic? heard that it was good for the wet? can someone tell me the difference between the power button, snow button and the overdrive??

thanks

over drive is basicaly fourth gear. the power button changes the shift points to higher in the rev range. so in stead of changing from 1st to 2nd @ 3000rpm it will change at 5000rpm or somthing like that. im guessing that the snow button would lower the shift points in the rev range so you dont get wheel spin. a form of traction control i suppose? can any one confirm this??

SNow drive basically puts you in 2nd gear take off so you dont spin your wheels when trying to drive uphill in the snow.

so that means that snow is a form of traction control, so if its really wet and i press the snow button ... i'm less likely to spin the wheels??

No its not traction control. It makes you take off in second instead of first so I wouldnt go around launching with the snow button on.
