The MANU mode is designed to operate the Toyota Highlander II in winter time to reduce the likelihood of wheel thrashing on slippery surfaces. When the MANU mode is activated, the vehicle is moved to the second gear, which switches to higher at lower engine speeds. It can be said that the MANU mode, to some extent, "uploads" the reaction of the box, contributes to braking with the help of the engine, which is always very useful in winter conditions.
Activation of KICK-DOWN mode means switching to the lowest gear and is implemented by pressing the gas pedal. In this case, the ACPR shall switch to one or two lower speeds, depending on the vehicle's current speed.
The main function of the SNOW mode is to facilitate the winter driving for the driver. The maximum effect of this mode, which is activated by a button switch, can be achieved in combination with a good winter rubber. The SNOW mode can be used during the warm time of the year-it can help you when you start the slide on the hot ground, wet asphalt, grass, and other complex coatings.
