What does the Highlander snow button mean?

[SanCorbin]

The Highlander snow button refers to the vehicle's snow mode. The snow mode is achieved through an automated program that starts the car in second gear to reduce torque output during startup, ensuring a gentler and smoother power delivery to prevent wheel slippage on snowy surfaces. Additionally, during driving, the operating range of the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is expanded. Under normal circumstances, the ABS only engages when the brake pedal is pressed hard, but in snow mode, it activates even during non-emergency braking. All these features are designed to ensure safer driving on icy and snowy roads. The Highlander's body dimensions are 4795mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1760mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. The vehicle features prominent fenders, black side skirts, and chrome-plated door sills, giving it a sturdy, elongated, and dynamic appearance.
