What do PWR and SNOW mean in the Reiz?
2 Answers
PWR and SNOW in the Reiz refer to Sport Mode and Snow Mode respectively. Below are the detailed introductions of the driving modes: Eco Mode: In this mode, the car's fuel injection volume and transmission control module are managed by the computer, which adjusts to the most fuel-efficient driving method. This mode offers the lowest fuel consumption but also the least power. Comfort Mode: This mode balances power and fuel efficiency. In this setting, both power output and air conditioning are optimized for energy saving, making it most suitable for everyday driving. Sport Mode: Generally used in road conditions requiring higher power demands. After switching to this mode, the battery's energy output increases significantly in a short time, and the traction control system and stability control system reduce their intervention in driving operations. This results in quicker car response and more noticeable steering. This mode has the highest fuel consumption and the most power. Snow Mode: This mode primarily works by suppressing the car's torque to reduce wheel slippage and spinning when driving on snowy roads.
When driving my Reiz, these two buttons are my go-to. PWR stands for Power mode—pressing it makes the car feel like it's on adrenaline, with sharper engine response, perfect for high-speed overtaking or when you want a thrill. SNOW is Snow mode, designed specifically for icy or slippery roads; it automatically limits wheel spin to ensure smoother starts and driving. Remember, using PWR in city traffic jams might increase fuel consumption, and before heavy snowfall in winter, try SNOW to avoid skidding into a ditch during starts. Make it a habit to regularly check these buttons to prevent damage.
