Intelligent traction control system ("Snow motion")

Hi, below is an extract from the C5 Aircross handbook.
I've looked through the specs for the C5 Aircross, plus searched the internet, but can find no other mention of intelligent traction control or snow motion (other than ten year old references to it).

Does anyone know which versions have this option, is it the non-grip control cars?

Thanks

Intelligent traction control system ("Snow motion")

Depending on version, your vehicle has
a system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor surface
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.

It's the grip control option. If you don't have a big dial with icons of mud, sand, ice, etc... you don't have it.

When I owned a C3 Saloon automatic it had Sport and Snow buttons by the centre console cup holders. I now own a C3 Aircross automatic 2020 model. It has a Sport button but no Snow. I didn't go for the terrain traction option obviously the Snow is now part of that selector only.

Thank you, both.
In the manual it mentions them separately. I did initially think it must come with the grip control option, but could find no other mention of it.
