New G35x owner and new to forum. Trying to get as much info on the snow mode and saw this thread. Different opinions (12, 15, 19, 25 mph) about what speed the snow mode kicks off. The Owners Manual doesn't even mention it. Only thing I found on '04 models is: "Another unique feature of the G35 AWD system design is the addition of a Snow-Mode function, which reduces throttle sensitivity and fixes initial torque distribution at 50:50, helping avoid wheel spin for smooth starts on snowy roads. At speeds above 12 miles per hour, the Snow-Mode function allows the central computer processing system to take over again, continually monitoring traction conditions and changing the torque distribution as needed" from this from this link:

Not sure if there is any change with the '05's or '06's, but this feature looks useful for driving up steep, snow packed hills or after the town snow plow put a wall of snow in front of your driveway.

I never find it necessary to use snow mode.The attessa system works perfect.
Basically the system workers the same only the point (speed) at which you become a rear wheel drive vehicle is at a higher speed.
The ATTESSA system is smart and it will not let you do damage to it.

My experience in my o5x during snow days. for two whole days this winter, WE HAD SNOW!! yeeeaa, anyway during those days i was late for college (commuter) cuz of cleaning my car of snow, so i took the highway with snow mode on, and i had to speed to get to class, the car handle like perfection. i went up to 70 abit slow for me since it was snowing n i wanted to get there alive. no rattles or shaking of anykind at that speed, and snow mode was on the whole day even after i turn off my car and 4get to switch botton off. You can tell the difference between snowmode and regular drive becuase of the acceleration. regular drive u accelerate ur body leans backward, the car jumps abit, but snowmode i found out accelerate steadily, it wont jump on u. all those with problems going highspeed with snowmode on, should go ask ur dealer. goodluck dont get kill.
