Режим «SNOW»
Кто знает как работает режим SNOW. Попробовал на ледяной снежной дороге. Машина еле едет, давлю на газ — практически ни какого эффекта, фигня какая-то. Кто-то мне говорил, что стартует со второй передачи. Когда этот режим эффективно работает? Так понимаю для снега и грязи?

режим SNOW «душит двигатель» не давая срываться колесам в пробуксовку. По ощущениям действительно получается что машину «держат за задний бампер». Но в период обильных снегопадов и при езде по раскисшей дороге система работает на ура. Так комфортней и легче чувствовать дорогу. Расход топлива только чуток возрастает

Можно ссылочку соответственную дать насчет «душения»?
Вааще, за удушение отвечает VSC. А «Snow» работает с АКПП

Ссылочку не дам, не потому что жадный, а потому как ее нет Да и сам я не технарь. К тому же человек задается вопросом с практической точки зрения. И вряд ли его интересуют технические дебри, если конечно он не занимается техническим шпионажем в пользу стран третьего мира)))

Дело в том, что Snow работает только на низших передачах. ТС правильно написал: старт со 2-й передачи, дабы не было пробуксовки.

Snow, отличный режим во время гололёда. Обязательно нужно им пользоваться иначе можно на перекрёстках по полминуты буксовать.
А разве в инструкции нет описания этой функции?

Этот режим не душит двигло,он заставляет коробку переключаться с меньшими оборотами и трогаться со второй передачи. Что то вроде зимнего режима.

В Руководстве единственно написано, что служит «для ускорения движения по скользкой дороге, например. по снегу». И всё! Как, что, душит, не душит, на каких передачах, ну хоть бы что-то пояснили :ireful:

Если у Вас система управления АКПП электронно-гидравлическая, то вероятнее всего, у вас есть программа управления АКПП зимой. Имеются кнопки, как правило расположенные рядом с рычагом вабора диапазонов переключения передач или на приборном щите. Обозначения кнопок для зимней программы: «WINTER», «W», «SNOW», «*», «HOLD». При нажатии этой кнопки, АКПП начинает работать по алгоритму, исключающему пробуксовку колес при трогпнии с места авто, иными словами исключается работа 1 передачи вообще и движения авто начинается сразу со 2 передачи, и переключение передач на высшую ступень происходит при минимальных оборотах коленвала двигателя. Все нагрузки во время начала движения принимает на себя гидротрансформатор, который сглаживает, поглащает все рывки, гидравлическая жидкость АКПП нагревается сильнее, чем в обычном режиме движения, поэтому летом зимней программой пользоваться нельзя (ребенок нажал на кнопочку, а маме ни к чему. . . , у меня, например, не только конопочку нажимал ребенок, рычаг умудрился дернуть во время движения).
Toyota RAV4: Enable/Disable TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control
If your Toyota RAV4 is stuck in snow or mud, you may need to disable the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems so that all wheels spin at the same rate. You can turn off this system with these steps.
- TRAC is Traction Control. It helps to maintain drive power and prevents certain wheels from spinning while driving on slick roads.
- VSC is Vehicle Stability Control. It helps stabilize the vehicle when turning on slick roads.
- Trailer Sway Control helps the driver control the vehicle better when a trailer is attached to the rear of the vehicle.
Disable TRAC System
- Locate the button, normally located below the stereo system or informational display. On some models, it is located above the stereo system on the dashboard.
- Press and release the button.
- The “VSC Off” and “Auto LSD” lights should illuminate on the instrument panel. Models with multi-informational display will show a “Traction Control Turned Off” message.
Disable TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control
- Safely come to a complete stop and place it in the “P” gear.
- Locate the button, normally located below the stereo system or informational display. On some models, it is located above the stereo system on the dashboard.
- Press and hold the button for 3 seconds. A light that says “VSC Off” should appear on the instrument panel. Models with multi-informational display will show a “Traction Control Turned Off” message.
Now you should be able to operate the RAV4 with Traction Control disabled. Press the “VSC Off” button again to enable the systems again when desired.
Toyota RAV4 In Snow & Winter Driving? (Explained)
The RAV4 has been around for over two decades and has seen a consistent yearly surge in sales thanks to its proven quality and reliability.
In this article, we’ll assess the RAV4’s efficiency in snow and winter conditions, emphasizing its features.
How does the Toyota RAV4 handle snow and winter driving?
The Toyota RAV4 models produced after 2019 perform well in snow and winter thanks to it’s high ground clearance and safety features. These include an All-Wheel-Drive system and a list of other advanced features in the Star Safety System.
Is a Toyota RAV4 Good in the Snow?
The Toyota RAV4 is stacked with traction-controlling features, an All-Wheel-Drive option, and over 8 inches of ground clearance. These make it ideal for traveling in snow and winter.
The RAV4 also comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, producing up to 203 horsepower and eight-speed transmission.
That’s enough power to plow through an incredible amount of snow.
What Features Will Improve Winter Driving?
The Toyota RAV4’s prowess in snow and winter driving is determined by several safety and comfort features.
These features do not only revolve around the RAV4’s serviceability in winter but also impact the driver’s and passengers’ comfort.
All-Wheel-Drive
The RAV4 has an All-Wheel Drive option which makes winter driving a lot smoother.
It is no news that traction loss is very common with most roads during winter: they get all slippery, and tires have difficulty gripping the pavement.
Here’s our full guide to the best tires for RAV4 cars.
The AWD on the Toyota RAV4 tackles this by supplying torque to all the wheels to boost traction.
Ordinarily, only the front wheels get torque, but in extreme situations, the AWD saves the day by sending torque to the rear wheels.
Vehicle Stability Control
The Vehicle Stability Control features on the RAV4 as part of Toyota’s Star Safety System. The VSC ensures that the RAV4 remains at an optimal level of stability.
It goes about this by tracking the vehicle’s wheels and steering angles.
If it notices any imbalance, like the vehicle veering off, VSC automatically applies the brake to get the vehicle back on track.
Traction Control
The Traction Control is another one of the safety packages in the Toyota Star Safety System.
The TC anticipates and prevents wheel spin, which is one effect of traction loss, by closely tracking the RAV4’s wheel rotation.
If it detects any of the wheels spinning faster than normal, Traction Control reduces the engine output and then brakes the wheels.
This will stop the wheelspin and help recover traction.
Anti-Lock Braking System
If you’ve never experienced a wheel lock situation, that’s probably because you have always had ABS-installed vehicles.
The Anti-Lock Braking system exists on the RAV4 to prevent wheel lockup.
A wheel lockup happens when you brake excessively on slick surfaces, and it could end badly for your vehicle.
The ABS makes sure this never happens by constantly monitoring wheel speed and regulating the RAV4’s braking pressure as required.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
The Electronic Brake Force Distribution has the same job description as the ABS. Both features are there on the RAV4 to prevent a wheel lockup, but the EBD uses an entirely different approach.
The Electronic Brake Force Distribution is an ingenious feature that shares brake pressure to the wheels in proportion to their individual load.
Doing this ensures none of the wheels receive extreme brake pressure that can trigger a wheel lockup.
Warm and Fascinating Interior
The RAV4 has an interior reeking of warmth, just what you need for the winter. It has heated and well-ventilated front seats and heated rear seats to keep you and your passengers warm and comfortable.
The RAV4 also dazzles with its dual-zone image control, allowing you to set your preferred temperature. This keeps everyone in the car away from the excruciating coldness pervading the outside world.
The RAV4 also features a solid entertainment system. You are guaranteed seamless smartphone connectivity with:
You can do tons of things with that, from making calls to streaming your preferred, mood-lifting music.
With the RAV4, every winter ride isn’t just safe; it’s also warm, comforting, and super-pleasant.
Does A Toyota RAV4 Have Snow Mode?
The snow mode is a smart feature on modern vehicles to help them attain optimal performance on snow-covered roads.
Besides its pile of safety features, the Toyota RAV4 has a snow mode as part of its multi-terrain select system.
Can You Install Additional Snow Gear on RAV4?
The RAV4 already performs excellently in snow, and installing snow gear would further improve its performance.
If you are looking to shop for snow gear for your RAV4, here are some you should consider:
Before buying any of these, we advise getting acquainted with local laws regarding their use.
Some regions have strict regulations concerning the use of snow gear, and it’s just safer to make sure you aren’t in violation.
Another very vital thing to do before buying is getting correct measurements to get snow gear that fits well. Getting the correct gear really could make all the difference.
How Much Snow Can a RAV4 Handle?
With an 8.4-inch ground clearance, the RAV4 would run smoothly on up to 5 inches of snow.
You could even go 6 inches with the appropriate snow gear.
How Do RAV4s Handle Low-Winter Temperatures?
The RAV4 runs on a fuel-injected engine, which means you won’t have any issues starting it during intense temperatures.
The fuel injection system counteracts the effects of low winter temperatures, keeping the engine at an optimal level.
If you have any concerns regarding your RAV4’s performance during winter, it could result from other malfunctions.
It could be a dead battery or blocked filter; we advise having it examined by a mechanic to be sure.
Can a RAV4 Drive on Ice?
One of the trickiest winter conditions to drive on is ice; lots of people flat out avoid it because of previous experiences.
If you own a RAV4, you can drive on ice, but don’t let the driver assistance features on your car make you overconfident.
You’ll need to be extremely careful when navigating on ice. The RAV4’s ground clearance leaves it at risk of a rollover accident if not handled with great care and vigilance.
Does the RAV4 Have 4WD?
Here is a fun fact: The “4” in the Toyota RAV4 actually stands for four-wheel-drive.
However, the RAV4 has always sported a front-wheel-drive system with an All-Wheel Drive option since 1996.
As of now, the RAV4 does not have 4WD.
What About Older RAV4 Models and Winter Driving?
Toyota has always intended that the RAV4 be suitable for off-road conditions, which is why the very first model featured AWD.
Pretty much, every RAV4 model since 1996 is suitable for winter driving.
However, we advise getting RAV4 models with the Star Safety system available on Toyota vehicles since 2011.
Do RAV4s Need Snow Tires?
Snow tires are arguably the most important snow gear for winter driving.
If you are going to be navigating snow frequently with your RAV4, snow tires would be a great addition.
They are specially designed to help maintain traction and guarantee safe braking on snow due to their flexibility.
