Active Snow Mode (ASM)

When the vehicle recognizes frequent wheel slips on low friction roads, Active Snow Mode improves driving stability by minimizing these wheel slips.

Operating conditions

ASM is activated when all of the following conditions are met:

  • Low outside ambient temperature

  • Frequent Electronic Stability Control (ESC) activation due to wheel slip

When operating

The vehicle's acceleration response is reduced, which is similar to depressing the accelerator pedal slowly.

Non-operating conditions

ASM is deactivated when one of the following conditions or more are met:

  • Increase of outside ambient temperature

  • The accelerator pedal is hardly depressed

  • Driving in high speed (e.g. highway driving)
