So if you transition from throttle to brake fast enough, you will be greated with that rock hard pedal and no vacuum assist momentarily. The brake booster is a mechanical device so you can't trick it.

"Ice Mode" has something to do with the ABS computer programming in response to the wheel speed data. I believe it's a response to excessive ABS intervention so to further reduce potential lock up its reducing line pressure via the ABS pump.
This is proof that under 18 should not be allowed to use a PC or the Internet...
