Default Geartronic Winter Mode

Took me a while to find this in the manual so thought I'd share. Havent used it yet, ask me again later this week if this weather keeps up..

Geartronic - Winter mode
It can be easier to pull away on slippery roads if 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector from D position to the end position at "+S–" - the combined instru- ment panel changes indication from D to the figure 110.
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards "+" (plus) twice - the dis- play shifts the indication from 1 to 3.
3. Release the brake and accelerate care- fully.
9 With some engines only.
10 If the car has Sport mode* then "S" is shown first.
The gearbox "winter mode" means that the car moves off with a lower engine speed and reduced engine power on the drive wheels.
