Snow Mode

[biturbo]

I've got is250 awd and I use to ride on snow mode, even if there isn't snow because I can make more miles per galon... and here is my question - Everything gonna be ok with my is (gear box, etc.) if I ride on this mode ?

No, it won't do any harm. Snow mode simply makes the throttle less responsive (I suppose it might also crank up the traction control sensitivity).

Because of this you may notice better economy. The same result could be achieved by just going a little easier on the throttle.

Snow mode can also be useful in heavy traffic as it makes for a smoother low speed pull away.
