hiya, during my driving lesson yesterday, I was talking to the instructor about automatics, and mentioned that my grans auto Mercedes C270 CDI never did well on snow and the loose gravel on the our drive. Especially, as the insturctor, in his tiny Fiat 500 went up the very steep hill fine. He recommends using taking it out of automatic and going into second gear on snow, ice, gravel etc. Now my gran hardly knows the first thing about the merc - cruise control, all the many functions, no idea. I did tell her this as shes's coming today and we have an inch ish of snow, but she is adament that it just has park, drive , and thats it. But surely it will have the option to select 1 or 2 as well? Any ideas?
