Setting in the Rain? - evQ - 01-11-2012 04:48pm
What would be the best setting to use while driving in the rain?
( & for light snow showers that mixes with rain? )

On tarmac use standard driving mode.

Not if you have auto on wipers on............... four rapid sweeps of wipers and the head/tail lights come on automatically!

When I did my landrover experience the instructor said when ever it was raining or there was a lot of standing water I should use the snow mode ( the one next to standard) as it give the car more stability.

....is the correct answer.

So you'd put it in grass/gravel/snow mode for driving in the rain on a motorway at 70mph...
Twisty, Treacherous country back roads in heavy rain with leaves, puddles and a slippy surface, then Yes.
But I've never needed 4wd in the rain let alone Snow mode for extra stability, standard Diff stability control on most cars (incl Evoque) is all you need, and if you need it... try slowing down before you kill someone.
