How to Engage the S Gear in Volkswagen Lavida?

[Crystal]

After shifting into D gear in the Volkswagen Lavida, pull the gear lever back once more to engage the S gear. The S gear stands for Sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed to maintain higher engine speeds for longer periods, thereby increasing the vehicle's power. When descending a slope, the engine's low-speed resistance acts as a brake, preventing the car from accelerating uncontrollably. The S gear can be engaged when the vehicle needs to respond to overtaking or climbing, as it increases the engine's load and delays the shift response, providing greater power in a short time, which facilitates overtaking or climbing responses. The Volkswagen Lavida is a compact car with a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure, measuring 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.
