Can You Shift Directly from D to S Gear While Driving an Automatic Car?

[MalachiFitz]

You can shift directly from D to S gear while driving an automatic car. Automatic vehicles allow gear shifts between any gears except P and R during operation. D gear stands for Drive, while S gear represents Sport mode. Under normal circumstances, driving in D gear results in relatively lower fuel consumption, whereas S gear leads to comparatively higher fuel consumption. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for manual gear shifting by the driver, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic cars feature six gear positions arranged from top to bottom: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).
