What does 'snow' mean on a car?

[GiselleRose]

'Snow' refers to the snow mode of a car, which can be activated when driving on snowy or slippery roads. How to use it: Push the gear lever to the D position and adjust the knob to snow mode. At this time, the front and rear torque will be distributed in a 40:60 ratio, which can improve the vehicle's grip through power distribution and enhance driving safety on snowy roads. Typically, many cars are equipped with both 'sport mode' and 'snow mode' options. You can choose the appropriate driving mode based on environmental requirements to meet the driver's needs for both fun and safety. Sport mode increases the engine's shift RPM to enhance power performance. Some automated settings allow the transmission to start in second gear, ensuring smoother and gentler torque output, thereby reducing the likelihood of tire slippage on icy surfaces. Additionally, during driving, the ABS system's operational range is expanded. Normally, ABS only engages when the brake pedal is pressed hard, but in snow mode, it activates even during non-emergency braking. All these measures are designed to ensure safer driving on icy or snowy roads. This feature is particularly practical for cities in colder northern regions.
