Then I remembered the owners manual, describing how to turn the VSA/OFF, till you free the wheels from snow; then re-engage, after emerging. Well, it worked, great! Not SH-AWD, but adequate for NYC roads. That's why I figured that for the 2 or 3 days a year, when snow is plentiful, the FWD would be sufficient. Brooklyn, isn't exactly Montreal, or Buffalo.
Silly! You would think technology would sense tires spinning and automatically disable VSA until all wheels begin to rotate again. That is disappointing to hear actually. Glad you were able to get yourself unstuck.
