How to switch from D gear to S gear in an automatic transmission?

[McDavid]

To switch from D gear to S gear in an automatic transmission, simply shift the gear lever from D to S while driving normally; there is no need to press the brake or come to a complete stop. D gear is the drive mode, where the vehicle prioritizes comfort and fuel efficiency. S gear is the sport mode, which focuses on high performance. When shifted into S gear, the transmission delays upshifting to allow the engine to deliver greater power. The correct way to use an automatic transmission is as follows: 1. Start the vehicle in P or N gear. To shift out of P gear, press the brake, turn on the ignition, and then shift to N gear. After starting the engine, shift to D gear to move forward. 2. When switching between N, D, and L gears, there is no need to press the shift button. However, when shifting from L gear to lower restricted gears, press the shift button. Shifting from lower to higher gears does not require pressing the shift button. 3. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast. 4. Do not push into P gear while driving. 5. After driving, you must turn off the engine and shift into P gear before removing the key.
