Winter Mode Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The winter mode enables the transmission to start the vehicle moving in third gear. Third gear take-off reduces the torque applied to the rear wheels, which reduces wheel spin during slippery conditions.

To activate the winter mode, press the winter mode switch located next to the transmission gear selector lever. The snowflake icon will illuminate brightly.
