How to Switch from D to S Gear While Driving
1 Answers
You can switch between D and S gears at any time, but it is not recommended to do so when the engine RPM is high. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have the following gear positions: P, R, N, D, and S: 1. P (Parking Gear). When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position. 2. R (Reverse Gear). 3. N (Neutral Gear). The N position is equivalent to neutral and can be used when starting the engine, stopping the car without leaving the driver's seat, or during towing. 4. D (Drive Gear). When driving normally, place the gear lever in the D position, and the car will automatically shift between forward gears. The D gear is the most commonly used gear. 5. S (Sport Mode). In S mode (where "S" stands for "Sport"), the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to maintain low gear and high RPM for an extended duration, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. While the car is moving, simply push the gear lever into the "S" position. This mode is typically used for climbing hills or quickly overtaking other vehicles.
