Hi,

Only had my RR Sport for 6 weeks & have never had any proper training/experience at using the 4WD system properly - although I'm on the waiting list for an Experience Day at Eastnor Castle near Ledbury.

My question to those who are in the know - is what is the best setting for driving my sport on icy roads? Should I keep it in the normal position & just use the paddleshift gears to slow down gradually - or twist the dial to the grass/snow position - which locks the rear + central diff?

Sorry if this is a daft question - it's just I took my daughter to school this morning & the police shut a road due to a bad crash on an icy road - if there's a better/safer setting for my car on a day like today i'd like to use it!

like the LR Experience Guys say, look out the windscreen and select the dial

If its icy/slippy then there is no harm in selecting Grass gravel snow it will lighten the throttle response to avoid wheel spin etc whilst accelerating

but the MAIN thing to remember a 4x4 will not stop any quicker if the wheel lock up than any 2x4 car

so travel at a suitable speed that you can stop safety

Turn off traction control, heavy on trottle and drift along

Not the safest though, but very enjoyable. 2010 RRS TDV6 3,0, Bali Blue/Tan/Anigre/Dynamic Pack/Logic7/Keyless entry/Paddle
