What does the snow mode in cars mean?

[StSadie]

The snow mode in cars is a control mode of the automatic transmission. The differences between snow mode and normal mode are as follows: 1. Torque output: After activating snow mode, the output torque of the car engine is limited, and the transmission is set to start in second gear. At this time, the car's output torque becomes smoother and gentler, reducing the chance of the car slipping on snow; normal mode does not have any special functions. 2. ABS range expansion: Snow mode increases the working range of ABS, activating the ABS function even in non-emergency situations; normal mode only triggers ABS when the brake is pressed hard. 3. Enhanced ESP function: The ESP function is generally in a dormant state in normal mode and only triggers when the car is in an extreme out-of-control state; snow mode allows more power to be distributed to wheels with traction, helping the car escape difficult situations as quickly as possible.
