Just noticed driving out today that the traction control was set on snow/gravel?

I'm sure I read on this forum somewhere that if the outside temperature was around 0 degrees C the car would automatically set itself to Grass/Gravel/Snow mode. Or did I dream that? Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

once you move it in winter it takes on a mind of its own, GGS one day normal the next, totally random At work

Yep I've noticed a bit of randomness on mine in GGS ... I'm sure there is some logic to it, but it is probably some complicated algorithm that says keep on GGS when been selected for n minutes and if x=y and the wind is blowing east!

Mine did this too in the snow. After a couple of resets though it's been fine. |

Same with mine earlier in the week! I've had the car over a year and it always remembered condition at engine shut down. However, about four times it started in gravel and snow even when stopped in off position and then settled down. It didn't do it a couple of weeks ago when temp was -8C. Guess it wants you to know who is really in charge. |
