Snow / Slippery Mode Indicator
OK to driveTypically White or Blue on the dash
Snow or slippery drive mode is selected — gentler throttle and earlier upshifts for low-grip surfaces.
What it means
Confirms the low-grip calibration is active: throttle response softens, the transmission starts in a higher gear to reduce wheelspin, and stability control intervenes earlier.
Can you keep driving?
Yes — that's what it's for. Switch it off on dry pavement; the soft throttle response can be a hazard when you need power.
