I'm a little nutsy about knowing how things actually work. I read manuals much to the chagrin of my associates who say: "You Do That, Just Drive The Car?"
The manual or the Infiniti web site do not actually describe how the AWD system works, other than torque goes from the front wheels to a 50-50 mix when needed. Does that happen at any speed? Other than Dumbing Down the throttle, does Snow Mode do anything with the AWD system? On my other AWD Infiniti cars : 2007 G35X (best cat I ever owned with power and 5AT - head snapping throttle [loved it]), 2010 G37X (the new 7 speed tranny was Laggy ), 2013 M37X ( very good car, not popular with few on the road but was the Best Bargain in that category) had SNOW Modes. In those sedans, according to the manual, the 50-50 split front to rear wheels stayed locked up to 12 MPH and Governed the throttle slightly. The 2016 QX60 - the Snow Mode applies a much greater "governor" to the throttle worse than the Eco mode. I realize the previous sedans were all rear Wheel drive oriented systems with traditional ATs not CVTs. But I can't find a complete description of how it works on the Web, again other than Infiniti's web site describing it on a sedan?
Thanks for any input....
