Like the majority of us, I am still awaiting delivery of mine and am thinking ahead to winter.

From what I have read, the Off Road Mode is the one for slippery roads. In the Highlands of Scotland we experience these frequently. Again, from reading, it would appear that this mode should on,y be engaged at speeds of up to 25mph. What happens if having engaged this mode, the speed exceeds 25mph?

Some cars have a winter mode for the auto box. Given the restriction of speed, I presume that this mode has its limitations.

I would be interested in any illumination on this matter.

I think if you go > 25 mph the car will automatically revert to "another drive mode" :

You'd hope it would activate eco mode as that should keep the revs low
