in pwr mode, your shift points change (remains in a gear longer) giving you slightly more omph with reduced milage.

Snow mode, starts you off in 2nd gear thus reducing torque to the driven wheel. The idea being that if you have snow built up under the wheels, they will not spin out.

For normal driving leave it in middle.
