Can the S Gear Be Used for a Long Time?
1 Answers
S gear should not be used for a long time as it is the sport mode. Occasionally switching to sport mode can protect the mechanics of the transmission, but prolonged use may cause wear and tear, affecting the power transmission of the vehicle. For automatic transmission cars, the D gear is more suitable for long-term use as it provides stronger power and more stable driving. The purpose of the S gear is to increase the engine's power output by raising the shift points and increasing fuel injection. Sport mode serves as a transitional gear for upshifting and is not suitable for prolonged driving but is ideal for climbing slopes. On an automatic transmission car, the P gear is for parking; the R gear is for reverse; the N gear is neutral, typically used when waiting at a red light; the D gear is for driving forward; the L gear is for low-speed driving; and the S gear is for sport mode.
