Can You Shift from D to S Gear While Driving?
1 Answers
While driving, it is possible to shift from D (Drive) gear to S (Sport) gear, and there is no need to press the brake pedal during the shift since both D and S gears are forward-driving modes. However, after switching to S gear, the car's power output will increase, the throttle response will become more sensitive, and fuel consumption will also rise. Below are some relevant details: 1. S gear is the Sport mode—also known as the overdrive gear—suitable for overtaking or high-speed driving. In this mode, the engine speed can rise rapidly, providing sufficient power for instant acceleration. 2. In Sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain higher RPMs for longer periods, thereby delivering greater torque output and acceleration.
