Dear All,
I notice there is this 2 button beside my gear shaft, near the tiptronic. I have tried pressing or 'on' it, but it didn’t make any difference to the driving? Or did I do it wrongly? I tried reading the manual. It says that the 'S' is for sport and the 'Snow Flake' is for show driving... but as we all know there is no show in Malaysia... so is it non functional? or this 2 button only function on the Turbo and not the vti? Btw I’m own a vti

the S mode is Sport mode which you already know. it will hold the gears to a higher rev before changing gears i suppose.
the other mode is Snow mode which gives your wheels more traction when you are driving on slippery roads caused by rain or snow.
and i believe both the functions is available on the THP and VTI.
cheers.

and in the 206 and 407 as well. i think i read somewhere that snow mode can be used for very slippery situations... like flood (206 owners, don't even think of driving through flood though!! ) in a malaysian context where the car will start off in 2nd gear i think.
Let's talk about driving again!

Try using it during a traffic jam... the pickup is smoother rather than the jerky feel....
Its not what you have...... its how you use it!!
