Snow motion without snow
Will it make any difference under normal conditions?

Re: Snow motion without snow
Sorry, I've forgotten how to embed - the forum's "YOUTUBE" button doesn't do anything.
Hit the "Quote" or "Edit" button to see how it is done Mike.
Who said/done that?

Not much probably, unless you're driving on a gravel road ...osx wrote:My question is what happens when it is dry

Re: Snow motion without snow
Not sure why it would matter only on gravel. On every surface you can reach a point where traction is about the same as when on snow.

Re: Snow motion without snow
Sure you can, but the regular ESP should be more than enough to regain car stability ... snow/ice really are extreme road situations where a car can be placed ... why else would the system be called Snow Motion?

Re: Snow motion without snow
Tried it this afternoon, I just accelerated really slow and then the light went off after a couple of minutes with nothing happening

I thought it did not require turning on and it just sensed slippyness.
The esp comes back on at a certain speed if you turn it off.

Re: Snow motion without snow
Tried it with snow today and it works!! More controlled spin and steering. One more bonus from the Auto gearbox...

Re: Snow motion without snow
Good for you ... my car doesn't have the Snow Motion (AM6 gearbox), and I've asked at Citroen Croatia, they don't know of any cars with it equipped hitting our market ... go figure where it is sold then...

Re: Snow motion without snow
I was under the impression that all the automatic ones had this option.
