Hi Guys,
I am new to this club but have seen many posts earlier using google.
Today I tested the ECT SNOW feature in my RX300 as there was lot of ice and snow on the drive way in may apartment. I live in Columbus, OH and there is not that much snow as compared to North East or Midwest so far this year. When I turned it on and drove for some 100 meters and took a turn the car just skidded and I lost control of the car and it went on the median. Though i was driving at only 5 miles and applied breaks after it started skidding and took my foot off the throttle, still it skidded.
I am not sure why this happened?
After this I turned off the ECT SNOW feature and then every thing was fine. I was able to drive with out any issue in that icy/snow condition.
I am wondering if ECT SNOW should be on while driving or should I use it only to take off and then turn it off?
Any ideas why this could have happened?
Thanks,
Sanjive
