There isn't a winter light on the dash. Winter mode is indicated by the winter button illuminating. ;)

Locks out 1st and 2nd, so it pulls away in a high gear.

It goes brighter.

Only works up to 50mph (then the function is turned off).

Also, selecting anything other than D will turn it off.

Lack of use sometimes makes the snow/winter button reluctant to switch.

It goes brighter.

I find it incredibly difficult to tell when the light is brighter or not on mine (probably my eyesight) - but it's plain as day as soon as you go to drive off!

Yeah, its location is poor, so I never check visually.
