Can a new car use S gear?
1 Answers
New cars should not use S gear. Below is a related introduction to the S gear in cars: Definition: In S gear (Sport mode), the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to operate at lower gears with higher RPM for extended durations, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. Advantages: Using S gear also has benefits for the vehicle. For cars frequently driven in congested urban areas, engine carbon buildup can be significant. Therefore, periodically using S gear appropriately helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improves fuel economy, and extends engine lifespan.
