Does Starting in S Gear Damage the Car?
1 Answers
Starting in S gear does not damage the car. S gear is used for climbing hills and quick overtaking. In S gear mode, the transmission can shift freely, and the shifting time is delayed. The engine maintains high RPM for a longer period, allowing the car to travel at low gear and high RPM for an extended time, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. The car's gears are divided into: 1. P gear, the parking gear: used when the vehicle is parked for a long time; 2. R gear, the reverse gear: used when the vehicle is reversing; 3. N gear, the neutral gear: used when the vehicle is temporarily parked; 4. L gear, the low-speed mode: used when going up or down hills; 5. D gear, the drive gear: used when moving forward.
