Hi
I want to find out exactly what each different mode changes on the car, so far I have found the following:
Snow mode smooths out throttle to prevent spins.
Sand mode remaps and makes it accelerate really fast but does something else meaning I can't have it in Sand mode all the time.
Mud and ruts mode, no idea what this does..

Can anyone fill in the gaps?

Thanks
Rob

Gonna have a watch now.

The different modes change settings withing the Engine Management System, Automatic Gearbox (if fitted), Electronic Centre & Rear Differentials/Electronic Centre Coupling, Hill Descent Control and Traction Control.

Driving around in an inappropriate setting will not damage the vehicle but may lead to the early failure of some mechanical components. Driving in sand mode locks the 4 wheel drive system and places extra loading on the Electronic Centre Coupling which is why it is not recommended to use sand mode in normal driving conditions.

Don't overlook the adjustments that TR also makes to the brakes (ABS) settings, e.g. in GGS/M&R the momentary wheel lock is allowed to be longer than in the tarmac setting so as to use a small wall of gravel/snow/mud in ffont of the locked tyre slow the car down. GGS and M&R are differnt to make the best use of the surface material characteristics.

There is far more to it that the power splits and throttle response that most focus on:
Norm 90/10 F/R
GGS 60/40
M&R 50/50
