Harteget Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hi guys, What' does this switch/function, ECT snow in RX 330, exactly do? Per manual, it said you use it when you start the engine in the winter/snow. Any comments appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booyah Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Dont have my 330 yet :P Got the paperwork going on a Silver AWD with Peformance package, Navi, all except ML which you cant get----Oh anyway The snow function allows the car to take off in 2nd gear Im pretty sure to reduce slippage. I will find out for sure come Snow season up here in Alaska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx300_coach Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 ^^yup...theres usually a lot of power put to the wheels in 1st gear when you are starting to move...so by starting in 2nd gear....you move at a lower rpm..this is useful in canadian winters where many other drivers can find themselves spinning in 1st gear at the green light.
