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

[VanBethany]

Shifting to S mode in an automatic transmission does not require pressing the brake. The methods for using S mode 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 mode, the engine speed increases, and the transmission delays upshifting while downshifting 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 car are: 1. Move the gear selector to the predetermined driving position before pressing the accelerator pedal; 2. Avoid pressing the accelerator abruptly; instead, press it slowly to accelerate gradually.
