My 2008 S60 turbo has a button for the winter mode. It’s a real beast on these Western Pennsylvania mountain roads. Love it!

Lancaster PA chinimg in. I have a 05 XC with the W button right next to the gear box. But I've never used it because my tires do all the work perfectly in harsh weather. XC70s turbos are the true standard of traction hands down.

Great vids, never knew this. Keep em coming thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Funny enough I think they just deleted the button on the P3 cars. The P2 cars had them as far as I know. I used it in my '06 S60 T5 for one of these Alabama snow storms that hit about once every 20 years and I was nigh unstoppable with only FWD and Continental tires. Was a great surprise, seeing how well it worked.

Ha!! My '99 V70r has a button on the centre console marked "W" does all that for you.
Boy was Volvo ahead of the game.😁

W button also in my 2007 xc70, I live in a cold part of
Canada (6 month winter snow cold sleet everything) and it comes handy if you do not want to have your tires form ice under the tires when they spin.

I have an AWD P3.. why am I watching this lol.

Your interior looks cool.

Thanks much I just bought a 2012 Volvo XC60. I live we’re we can get heavy deep snowfall. I don’t usually go out in these storms. Now I know what to do if I get caught in one. 😀

Never knew that, I put the gearbox in 2nd and pull off. Had no problems with the snow whatsoever. Stupid that it doesn't have a proper winter mode or button though..

My 02 v70xc has winter mode W button on the gear selector, however I've heard you shouldnt use the W button because it locks it in third in a more agressive manner, and its far better to just do as you do and go into manual mode and select third.

In my 2002 Volvo S80 I The Wintermode is just a Button next to the Gearlever with an "W" on it.
Just select "D" and Press the Button, done. The "W" apears in the Dashboard where normaly the "D" apears to let you know if it is active or not.
Seems some Things don´t get better designed over Time.

I love my “W” mode on my 2000 V70 with 270k miles. Works phenomenally in the snow while SUV’s get stuck..😂

The P2 and possibly P1 Volvo's have the "W" button on the gear selector. The P3 Volvo's have this.

[peterclifton]

Thanks for the info didn’t know that 👍

[oldschoolgamer]

Nice one, sadly, last time it snowed here was 1991

[sebobalci]

I have AWD so probably no need this. Thanks anyway for your very interesting videos.

[gavinstirling]

We have a "W" button on our 2007 XC90, not sure if that works in a similar way. Thanks for the info, interesting stuff.

[hungryboy]

What about the AWD XC70 that has 'S' Mode too ? Or does that not apply because of the 4 wheel drive system ?

[numberparrothead]

My Volvo XC 90 has a button on the center console to touch it’s labeled “W”

[Pilikestortoises]

My 2002 s60 literally just has a button for it which is neat
