What does 'snow' mean in the Highlander car?
1 Answers
The 'snow' in the Highlander car refers to the snow mode of the vehicle. The snow mode is primarily designed to prevent skidding and rollover, so the power tuning is related to the driving speed. How to use the snow mode: The Highlander's snow mode is adjusted using a button. After pressing this button, the car's starting response will be quite slow, the power will be somewhat reduced, the transmission will shift more actively, the engine speed will decrease, and the car's dashboard speed will basically remain below 2300 RPM. After using the snow mode, when driving on slippery roads, the car's tires will not experience skidding. Requirements for tires in snow mode: From the appearance, unlike ordinary or unidirectional tires, snow tires have asymmetric directional tread patterns. Snow tires have more grooves, meaning the proportion of grooves on the tire surface is higher, which improves drainage. From the material perspective, snow tires are softer than ordinary tires, mainly because the tread uses some special compounds.
