How to engage the S gear in Audi Q5?
1 Answers
Audi Q5 can directly shift from D to S gear while driving, but it is recommended not to shift into S gear when the engine speed is high. Here is the relevant information: 1. The "+" and "-" in Audi Q5's S gear (sport mode) are equivalent to upshifting/downshifting. The D gear can be subdivided into several gears, such as D1, D2, D3, etc. Simply push the gear lever forward to upshift and pull it backward to downshift. The S gear is the sport mode - overdrive gear, but the S gear must be engaged by pressing a button. In sport mode, the engine speed can rise rapidly and provide sufficient power for instant acceleration, making it a beneficial assistant when overtaking. 2. The "+" and "-" in D gear represent the manual mode. Normally, the D gear operates automatically, but if manual control is desired, the manual mode can be used. "+" upshifts from the current gear, while "-" downshifts from the current gear. 3. In terms of fuel consumption, since the fuel injection volume increases at high speeds, the S gear mode consumes significantly more fuel than the normal mode. However, using the S gear also has its advantages. For vehicles frequently driven in congested urban areas, engine carbon deposits can accumulate. Therefore, periodically using the S gear appropriately helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improve fuel economy, and extend engine life.
