Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting from S to D Gear?

[Sheila]

Shifting from S to D gear does not require pressing the brake; you can shift directly. Generally, when switching between S and D gears, it is advisable to ease off the accelerator slightly to avoid affecting the normal operation of the engine. This is because both gears use the same mechanical mechanism, only with different shift logic sequences, allowing for free switching between D and S gears. The S gear essentially delays the shift timing, enabling the engine to maintain a high RPM for a longer duration. The D gear is a common gear in all automatic transmission models, representing 'Drive.' When in D gear, the driver only needs to control the accelerator and brake pedals properly.
