Can a car be driven in S mode?

[EthanAnn]

While the car is in motion, you can directly shift the gear lever into the "S" mode, which is typically used for climbing slopes and quick overtaking. However, it is not recommended to use S mode in the following situations: 1. When starting the car: This can have a counterproductive effect on the car's acceleration. Starting in S mode may result in slower speed increase, delayed gear shifting, and slower shifting compared to D mode. 2. High-speed cruising: Once the car exceeds 90 km/h in S mode, the engine runs at excessively high RPM, resulting in unpleasant noise and increased fuel consumption. 3. When decelerating the car: When approaching an intersection and slowing down, there is no need to shift into S mode. It is more appropriate to stay in D mode for better gear selection and improved fuel efficiency.
