Can the Haval H9 drive at high speed in snow mode?
2 Answers
Haval H9 cannot drive at high speed in snow mode. The snow mode automatically adjusts the differential bridge and evenly distributes torque to all four wheels, but the speed is not high. Enabling snow mode at high speeds may damage the engine. Snow mode specifically refers to the control mode selection of the car's automatic transmission. The automatic transmission electronic control system determines the current gear based on signals such as vehicle speed, engine speed, accelerator pedal position, and other factors. When snow mode is activated, the power output becomes very smooth and gentle, which is not suitable for daily high-speed driving. Snow mode is not only used on snow-covered roads but can also be enabled when driving on muddy roads, wet and slippery roads during rain, or gravel roads. When driving on snow, maintain a slow speed, decelerate smoothly, and use gentle braking. Avoid sudden acceleration or emergency braking on icy surfaces. Try to follow the tracks left by other vehicles or drive on surfaces that have been dried by passing vehicles.
As someone who has driven a Haval H9, I can tell you that high-speed driving in snow mode may not be very safe. Snow mode is primarily designed for low-traction road conditions, such as snow or ice, where it limits throttle response and automatically reduces engine output to improve traction. However, on highways, if you accelerate beyond 100 km/h, the car may feel underpowered and sluggish in steering, as if it's being held back, making acceleration and overtaking particularly challenging. I once tried it on the highway and felt the car was unstable with reduced grip. If there happens to be ice or snow on the road, it could easily lead to skidding or loss of control. For safety, I recommend using snow mode only in low-speed environments below 30 km/h. It's better to switch back to normal mode at high speeds or find an AUTO gear, which can more intelligently balance performance and stability. This not only protects your beloved car but also helps avoid accident risks.
