Many car enthusiasts think that the snowflake on the dashboard appears when winter comes and no longer has any useful function. But this is not so, in modern cars of the VAG group, namely (Volkswagen) Jetta, Golf, Polo, Caddy, Passat, Tiguan, Touareg and many others, when a snowflake appears on the dashboard, the winter mode is activated and many do not understand what exactly is happening to the car. It is worth noting that the winter mode in the car is turned on when the temperature reaches +4 and below. What exactly happens to the car? Activation of the winter mode when the minimum temperature of +4 degrees is reached gives the car the following changes in operation: 1. The air conditioning compressor stops working; 2. The constant heating of the windshield washer nozzles is turned on; 3. When the mirror heating is turned on, they will heat up constantly, and not for 15 minutes; 4. Another engine warm-up program is activated, the speed changes; 5. The tires should be replaced with winter tires with at least 4 mm remaining; 6. The climate control system operating algorithm changes.
