Snow Driving...Who's done it so far?

Well, the Japan model of our car has Snow Mode with its automatic transmission as shown from an excerpt of their Owners Manual. Remember that they are right-hand drive so the shift layout is flipped. Here is a Babel Fish translation of the page:

Adjusting to the one (automatic car) usage condition of using the snow mode switch, it is possible to change flow phase. - When the select lever is D, the switch is pushed. (Indicating lamp within meter illumination) - When usually traveling, the switch is pushed back. When (indicating lamp within meter going out) indicating lamp flow phase within SNOW usage condition meter the road surface illumination snow mode select lever which it is easy to slide is D, departing and traveling become easy to do. It becomes usual traveling going out automatic mode economic traveling. Snow mode indicating lamp…P.95 advice - When the usual traveling time it makes snow mode, takeoff acceleration efficiency decreases extremely, are times when vehicle speed decreases the high-speed traveling time.

Now you know what that blank button is used for, and the word SNOW is lighted in the fuel gauge bezel when the button is engaged. Just one more little perk we get screwed out of with the North American models.
