The audi "drive select" transmission function switches to "sports mode" in rain and snow. This makes the vehicle dangerously jumpy in slippery conditions. This has happened to me (i think) three times in the last couple of years, always in rain or snow. My knowledge of the car allowed me to slowly delve into the screen functions to reprogram the transmission while driving in these dangerous conditions, but i don't know if i could always do it again, or if others might find it too confusing in the moment.
