C280 2007 4matic
Cool 4matic fun on snow :)

i try my c280 2007 4matic in a big parking lot, few in of snow with ice.

normal = tc do not let wheel slip and you cant make any crazy things

esp off = more fun , tc function normally but esp is more freindly for big skid

dyno mode = woooooo!!!! now you need to know what you do ... crazy skid...complete donut... oversteer...understeer... not safe in real world driving.

with esp off you can make some big power skid and keep control but if you loose control the car take it on the safe way... cool

now waiting for summer

Yes sir, with ESP off it will still work but not interfere as much. In dyno mode it's totally different, NO ABS, NO AIRBAG, NO ESP...very fun

Here in ALberta we use rocks instead of salt, I hate it, its less effective (doesnt get rid of the ice) and gives chips everywhere!

Winter tires definately make a huge difference in stopping distance tho

The SRS system doesn't shut down with dyno mode, does it? That wouldn't make sense and the car would inform you with the SRS light. I believe the bags will function as intended even in dyno mode.

Sure does, ABS light comes on, SRS light comes on and ESP light comes on. I know 100% ESP is fully off and ABS is fully off as well. Don't know about SRS

When I was racing the G35 at the track the idiot (who happened to be a friend) turned right in front of me (from the left side) to make it to the first turnout. I slammed my brakes and my car started sliding and stopped in time. So I know for sure about the ABS and ESP and I'm guessing the Airbag should be same too in dyno mode.

The SRS system is active at all times in my 05. In Dyno mode I have ABS light, a message that says ABS Unavailable - Diagnostic Test and ESP Unavailable - Diagnostic test.

No SRS light, no airbag warnings. The SRS system is still very much active.
