OOOOOOH MY GOD. YOU'VE REALLY DONE IT. SELL THE CAR IMMEDIATELY.
HAHAHAHAHHA. Just kidding. This is fine. All that the snow mode does is lock the AWD up to about 18mph, after that it will be the same as without snow mode. The other thing it does is noticeably retard the touchiness/max output of the car (some may argue on that, but in my independent testing, thats what it seems to me---like the car is 50 hp less.)
You have done nothing wrong. Now turn that snow mode off, and really get to drive your car. Have fun

My wife sat in the drivers seat once.... ONCE.
She has never driven it and never will.
Curbs have a bad habit of jumping right out in front of her.

All that being said...
...how does the x do in snow? I bought two months ago, and there's a chill in the air. I'm in Indiana...and probably 25 inches a year of the white stuff.
Does the snow mode, even if it cuts out above 18 mph, work decently with the OEM all season rubber? I'm coming over from awd VWs with Haldex and Audis with Quattro. Perhaps some winter shoes would be worthwhile?
