What does the W in automatic transmission mean?

"W" key: It is the snow driving mode key. The car's snow mode is achieved through an automated program to start in second gear, reducing the torque output at startup to ensure a gentler and smoother output, preventing the wheels from slipping on snow. When this mode is enabled, the engine's torque is restrained, preventing it from quickly reaching peak torque, thereby reducing the likelihood of wheel spin and skidding when driving on snow. In fact, as long as you are starting on slippery roads, pressing the "W" key can help the car start smoothly and avoid tail swing.
