How to shift back from DS gear to D gear in the 14th generation Sylphy?

Simply slide it to the right. Here are 3 automatic transmission driving tips: 1. At traffic lights: Depending on driving habits, you can temporarily stop by pressing the brake while keeping it in D gear. This is because the torque converter in the transmission is equipped with a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch, which amplifies the torque from the engine crankshaft. It does not rotate at engine idle speed and only engages when the engine speed increases. 2. When starting to move: Press the brake pedal before shifting the gear lever from P or N gear to a driving gear. Release the brake pedal, and the vehicle will slowly move. The purpose of pressing the brake in advance is to ensure the safety of the driver and the vehicle. 3. When starting the engine: The engine can only be started when the gear lever is in P or N gear. If the gear lever is in a driving gear such as D or R, the engine cannot be started.
I've been driving the 14th-generation Sylphy for two or three years, and shifting gears is quite straightforward. The DS gear is the sport mode, which provides stronger power but consumes more fuel. To shift back to D gear, simply reach for the gear lever on the center console while driving and gently push it to the D position. There's no need to stop the car, and you can shift at any time as long as you're not making sharp turns or charging up steep slopes at high speed. I often use DS to overtake in heavy city traffic and then push it back to D to maintain speed. The CVT transmission responds smoothly. The Sylphy's CVT transmission is designed to be reliable, so this operation won't damage the vehicle. Beginners are advised to practice at low speeds to get familiar with the gear feel. Remember not to push the lever too hard—a gentle push is all it takes. For daily driving, using D gear is more fuel-efficient and quieter.
