"W" Mode in AutoXmission on 2002 C230K Coupe

What does "W" do electronically & mechanically ..
(1) does W still use all 5 speeds/gears ?
(2) Is gas mileage mpg more or less in W ?
(3) Is W mode more horsepower or quicker acceleration ?
(4) If W provides quicker acceleration, is there any harm to leave car in W all the time ?
(5) How does W improve driving in wet/icy conditions ?

Im pretty sure 'W' mode just starts the car off in 2nd gear... MBtech may have a better answer... if he ever responds

S is for summer...W is for winter. W starts off in second gear so it is harder to spin your wheels in snow and ice.
