Use of Wet/Winter Mode?

Post by Guest »

How do I use my wet/winter mode effectively? Do I put the 1998 S70 in park, select W, then put the transmission into D (or should it be on 3)? We're having our first bad storm, and I want to use this on the potentially dangerous drive home.

Oops, sorry you're probably home now. I don't recall any particular method for engaging it besides just pressing the button. It limits wheelslip by starting you off in 3rd gear. Normal TRACS (limits wheelspin, kinda the opposite of ABS) applies also.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
