Yes, it's the snow chain setting, it allows a little wheelspin before the traction control kicks in. Makes a nice launch mode in my 400E. It launches with a nice bark on full throttle instead of the ASR coming on with the brakes.

Traction control, chains make the tire look bigger. The other is for setting the shock firmness.
