Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting to S Gear in an Automatic Transmission?

[Autumn]

Shifting to S gear in an automatic transmission does not require pressing the brake. The usage methods of S gear are: 1. Use it during short-distance competitive races; 2. Use it when going uphill, overtaking, or driving on uneven roads; 3. Use it when stronger traction is needed. When shifting into S gear, the engine speed increases, the transmission upshifts later and downshifts earlier, enhancing the vehicle's power performance. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The starting steps for an automatic transmission are: 1. Move the gear selector to the intended driving position before pressing the accelerator pedal; 2. Avoid pressing the accelerator abruptly; instead, press it slowly to gradually accelerate.
