  1. Hi, first of all you can not overcome the laws of physics!.............A rear wheel drive car is never going to be much good in the current conditions most of us are in at the moment!.....Tyres are a major factor here, nothing you can do about it though, unless you buy snow tyres or chains!

    Use the Snow button while in snow & ice (it will, via the ECU, slow your throttle openings so you can not accelerate so quickly through the gears and you will be pulling away in 2nd gear) Switch the VSC 'OFF' this will stop your traction control from getting all sorts of differing signals your final drive is getting from the road surface, i.e it will keep your rear wheels turning even if they are losing traction!....Keep the gear in 'D' for drive.

    Thats it, other than drive to the best of your ability & apply more common sense than brakes !!!..................."Slow, Slow, Slow if you want it to go" !...but you have to keep your momentum if your climbing inclines !!!!!!....it's a fine balance!

    Alternatively, go and and spend a grand on a cheap mitsubishi Pajero like i did last week!...works wonders in the snow!

    Good luck.

    Oh i see, thought it was just a useless button lol. 4x4's are showing off in the snow! see them driving with grins. I think tyre pressures may help slightly? Off too google it.
