My '99 Saab 9-5 has the Winter mode and the Sport mode. As for the Volvo, W starts are in 3rd gear. But Saab adds a different throttle opening program to the electronic throttle, so you have to depress the pedal much more for the same amount of torque. Sport mode has much higher shift points and a throttle map that is the opposite: small press - big torque. The winter mode makes it easier to control in slippery conditions. (I don't have traction control). The Sport button is usually referred to as the "Silly" button.
