Which offroad program?

Hello everyone!

In Norway we frequently get heavy snowfall and even though the Disco will happily drive through it all I am unsure which program is optimal for heavy snow driving.

Is it the mud/ruts program?

On beforehand tank you for any input!

Best regards

Jens

Grass, gravel & snow mode, first setting if I remember right. Or just normal D as I do in the snow in Scotland when I forget to change mode, no problems yet.

Thank you for the reply DSL!

I imagine Scotland is not to different from Norway. Smile I do remember reading somewhere however that the Grass, Gravel, Snow program is not for driving in heavy snow as it will limit wheel spin, and thus also progress in deep snow where wheel spin can be desired.

Is this correct?

if it's light & powdery, the Sand mode can also be used if you want to keep wheels going Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

for deep rutted snow try m&r or for the powdery snow on unevan surface Sand mode works well - WhennI did the croisiere i found every other TR setting was better than the Snow and gravel setting Confused

try the different settings with DSC on and off to judge which is the best in your circumstances. Duncan
