I think it takes the car away in 2nd gear rather than first, so you get less wheel spin in snow etc. Will look in handbook later just to check. Yep moves away in 2nd.

I answered this in Problems (Various issues) yesterday if that helps. "If you don't have one the whole Handbook is Here. Page 46...click on it to enlarge..tells you about the Ice symbol which is, as Andy says, an aid to starting in snow or ice."
