The SNOW button seen in many Toyota vehicles is used in situations where there might be an increased chance of wheel spin. It simply changes the way power is delivered, by offering a slower more relaxed take off. In some cases, the vehicle will even start off in 2nd gear to give the vehicle a better chance of gaining traction in snowy or slippery conditions.

What does the ect snow button on an Toyota caldina to do?
It sounds like something to with air conditioning. The ECT button on 4 runners stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. Pushing this button disengages the control and changes the way the transmission handels loads. Like speeding up the motor on hills sooner when you have a load. Normal operation is to let the ECT control things. So button should always be off and no light on the control panel should be on. I would suspect the same with the snow button except it will engage so it wont send too much power to quickly to the wheels. Thus helping eliminate spin of the wheels on slick surfaces.
