Brand new FRS, no snow/sport mode?? What the hell??
 

Hi Guys. Before I call the dealership and start freaking out, am I missing something here or did they forget to put the sport/snow control in my car??? I bought this car knowing it had a special "snow" mode as the winters here can get very harsh.

Every piece of info I can find tells me that this control should be included in my car, and it was not an option that I was given. I feel like Im not getting something Im entitled to...

I dont think they come on MT.

Ya it only on the AT.

Bahahaha well if thats all it is, I feel a little silly now..

Yeah, only on AT. "Snow" mode just starts the car off in second gear, which you can do by yourself with a MT. I think the sport mode just shifts faster, or higher in the revs, or something...another thing you control by yourself with a MT.

I do not, however, understand the difference between the VSC sport, traction off, etc. I know if you press the traction control (or whatever the left button is) once, it does something. If you hold it for 5 seconds it does something else. If you press the VSC sport button it also does something. I have no idea what any of it actually is, just that they all change or disable various systems. I'm sure it's in the manual, but I haven't bothered to look yet.

You're good. They only come on the Auto's.

Thanks guys, really glad I decided to come here first haha!

On another note, my tire pressure gauge is on and the pressure is fine, and its started very rough a couple of time since my first fill up yesterday. I used shell Vpower 91 octane gas, so maybe that explains the rough starts? Not something you like to see a few days after driving it off the lot, but dont take this as someone whining, because I still love this car almost more than life itself! Just a few hiccups is all...

maybe they will have to reset tpms sensors

The Sport mode button, when pressed, increases your HP by +92, increase your torque by +65. The Snow mode button, when pressed, will automatically flip out a set of track assembly similar to the snowmobile.

you don't have those buttons? you're missing out man.

Good job, you chose the correct transmission.

:sign0012:

VSC Sport allows more slip angle and wheel spin before stability control intervenes.

Pressing TCS OFF turns traction control off, but it re-engages at 31mph. Basically for getting yourself unstuck.

Pressing and holding TCS OFF turns traction & stability control off until the vehicle is turned off.

I think as you press to turn each one off, it gets less and less computerized on the power.

As others have said, no snow mode on M/T's. You should have a sport mode button though.
