sport/econ and winter modes
Re: sport/econ and winter modes
Were you using real winter tires or "all season" tires? I have seen AWD vehicles, without winter tires,spin on a very steep ice covered hill. It also takes experience to drive on ice, especially wet ice. You can make anything spin if you give it enough power.

TRACS doesn't help make you stop - It helps make you go.polskamafia mjl wrote:I once slid down a hill while my TRACS whirred away happily. lol
And if you were sliding, look into studded snows.

At least on mine, there is a dashboard switch labeled "TRACS" as circled in image below:
