Snow / ice mode

[Steveo123]

Hi , could anyone pls explain what the snow / ice / rain mode does in the Fpace ? Also what decides the torque distributed from RWD to  AWD , would have thought in snow  mode it would distribute more all over but clearly not looking at the power distribution in ASI ?

Hi Steveo123,

I do not know much about the F pace but found this

the rain/snow and ice mode is just another mode, so stays selected until you select otherwise. From what I saw yesterday, travelling back with 4" snow on the ground and up steep hills and down them, it really does help keep in the correct gear for the conditions and dulls the throttle and possible the steering too. essentially it was showing in the ASi screen that it was rear wheel drive when off throttle and as soon as I touched the throttle, AWD kicked in and then back off when I released the throttle.

I was on a Jaguar experience day at Donington last month and was tutored in Low Friction Launch. You have to be at a stand still and select ASi from the menu (on ICTP, don't know about ICT). From the ASi menu you select Low Friction Launch. It's really impressive. We were on artificial ice at the time and were told to floor it. The intelligence within the vehicle kept the vehicle within 12" of straight depite the wheels spinning. The auto correction is incredible.

Great thanks for that, I’ll try the different settings and check the ASI suite again .
