Can someone please explain how the electronic differential works in the snow? Will the car make it up hills with snow on them. I'm under the impression the edl (?) will apply the brake to the spinning tire so that the tire with traction will have power to it.

Also, there is no traction control switch in the car I'm purchasing so traction control is always on. My salesman lead me to believe using manual mode will overide the traction control for going up hills with snow on them. Is this correct?
