ive been watching a program about controlling a slide on ice,im sure the guy said dip the clutch,and obviously steer into the slide,definitely no breaking.but its the clutch dipping im not sure about,especially on a 4x4.i know you off road experts will know,my experiences are just in the field,pulling out stuck quads and tractors,not 4 wheel drifting /slides

I am sure that this advice is about trying to maintain some steering control by allowing the wheels to rotate. (in old fashioned cars)

As I understand it the FL2 is much more sophisticated and has all manner of electronic aids to do their best to correct slippery conditions. The most obvious being anti lock braking which works on individual wheels.

I think the best advice for driving a FL2 is to select the appropriate Terrain Response Mode and drive carefully and sympathetically to the road conditions. If you don't then weight and momentum will take you places that you hadn't intended. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

In inclement weather I drive as if the vehicle is NOT going to assist me as the driver.

Then should the vehicle decide to assist do I get a small benefit, as opposed to thinking the vehicle is going to do everything for me.

Old Boy driving is best.

I often think how will our children and grandchildren survive, not knowing how to properly drive a basis vehicle ?

With all this self parking, do the modern generation know how to park a car ????

Good Luck to them

A couple of years ago in outback NSW the road dirt road was so slippery that the car slid down the road's camber from standing still. There was nothing one could do until the car hit the scrub so the tyres could get some grip.

Yesterday I happened to join in with other cars as we slid and pirouetted around a big roundabout, no-one noticed the rainbow colouring on the wet cold road surface, it was bedlam with vehicles nudging each other and facing the wrong way, the FL2 was no exception in losing its line.
Yes its line was lost but nowhere near as bad as the others, I have the auto and with no input from me and the steering wheel still in position to go around the roundabout, all of a sudden there was the noise of the operating of the individual wheel brakes to try and keep the line the steering wheel was positioned at. It did a great job and did it immediately, nearly before I realised it happening and this in normal driving mode. My thanks to its Stability/Traction control.
On exiting the roundabout I could see the chaos in my rear view mirror, and assumed a vehicle had leaked its fuel onto the wet cold overnight road.
