How to Shift from D to S Gear in an Automatic Car?

[DeMatteo]

The method to shift from D to S gear in an automatic car: 1. To switch from "D gear" to "S gear", there is no need to press the brake or accelerator. 2. If the speed is too high, you can slightly ease off the accelerator to reduce the buffering force during the gear shift process and avoid any jerking sensation when shifting gears. Once the car enters S gear, you can then press the accelerator to speed up. Here is a related introduction to the differences between D and S gears: 1. D gear is the drive gear, where the vehicle prioritizes comfort and fuel efficiency. In S gear, or sport mode, the car focuses on high performance. 2. After switching to S gear, the transmission delays upshifting to allow the engine to deliver greater power. This means that with the same amount of pressure on the accelerator, D gear will select a higher gear than S gear. Additionally, the response speed to pressing the accelerator differs between D and S gears, with S gear being quicker and more sensitive, enabling the car to achieve high power in a short time. 3. However, the difference lies only in the decision-making process and logic of gear shifting. Therefore, during driving, you can directly shift from "D gear" to "S gear" without needing to stop to change gears.
