My car (Nissan Avenir 2000) has a rocker switch near the gear selector with three positions. Snow, blank and power. Can someone tell this silly old lady the purpose of it?

It is quite literally for the purpose stated if that makes sense.-Blank is just normal gearbox. Power for want of a better description "sharpens up" the gear changes.You would probably feel the changes as being more Harsh. Snow is for driving in snow so the changes are super soft-no jolting between gears.--Ive super simplified but hope you get the idea.

Thanks that makes sense.

I think 'Power' also raises the rev limit through the gears (for hill climbing as an example). The gears rev out higher before changing (well my Scania and Volvo work like that)!

On some cars the snow setting locks out first gear.

Try the snow button. It may just take of in 2nd gear so you don’t spin the wheel. Toyota has a 2nd start button for this
