2019 Slippery mode/dynamic profile
So I have experienced my first heavy snow fall in my 2019 c43, and I thought it would finally be a great opportunity to try the new 'slippery' mode. Even with my stock summer 19's (I'm always late to swap rubber), the car handles quite well on snow/ice. Needless to say, breaking distance is more than likely sub par with the summer continentals, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised I didn't hit anything or lose control on my hourly morning commute. I do however have a question which google does not seem to want to help with me:
What exactly does the 'slippery' mode/dynamic profile do to the vehicle? Is the power output more conservative, or are there there other changes that are applied when this mode is activated? I can't seem to answer this question, and personally I did not see any dramatic changes to the car's behavior.

In a nutshell, it just dulls the throttle response to avoid traction loss in wet/snowy/loose surface conditions.

I'm pretty sure it makes traction control intervene more aggressively too.
