Do you need to release the accelerator when shifting to S mode?
1 Answers
Shifting to S mode does not require stepping on the brake or releasing the accelerator. P—Parking: Parking gear, starting gear. When the vehicle is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. R—Reverse: Reverse gear. Used when reversing. N—Neutral: Neutral gear. Used when temporarily stopping (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear position indicates neutral. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always keep the brake pedal pressed. D—Drive: Drive gear, also known as the driving gear. As the name suggests, this gear is used for forward movement. L—Low: Low gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting to this gear restricts the car to the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission), allowing the engine to assist in braking. This prevents the driver from having to press the brake for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger.
