Winter Drive Program

This feature is activated when the TCM detects slippage at the rear wheels by comparing front and rear wheel speed signals. When slippage is detected by the TCM, the transmission will start in second gear and the shift points will be lowered. This will reduce torque to the rear wheels allowing improved driveability and traction on slippery roads.
