Snow Mode Indicators

Snow Mode

These are Snow Mode Indicators symbols. Whether from an electronically controlled transmission or throttle (ECT) or in a hybrid vehicle, it indicates that this mode is active. The option controls the transmission electronically, keeping it in a higher gear (2nd or 3rd) or controlling the throttle for accelerating and driving on slippery road surfaces, like snow.

• But first, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then continue on below.
• Otherwise return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

Note that the snowflake image shown in yellow/amber/orange is also used as a warning that road conditions may be slippery due to low outside temperatures. Click here for more. The other two symbols, the word SNOW in yellow/amber/orange and the image in green combined with the word SNOW are simply mode indicators.

Also, there will likely be additional text with the text symbol Snow. See our Acronyms page if it is not a whole word or our Text Symbols page.
