How to use the DS gear in a car?
2 Answers
The method of using the DS gear in a car is as follows: 1. First, you must understand that P gear is the parking gear, R gear is the reverse gear, N gear is the neutral gear, and D gear is the drive gear. 2. Then, S gear is the sports mode of the car, where the transmission can shift freely. When the car has been driven for a long time, you can directly shift to S gear. 3. First, press the brake, push the gear lever to the left to S, and then you can engage the manual mode. The transmission will downshift but not upshift. 4. Finally, return to the automatic mode by pushing to the right, allowing you to switch between manual and automatic modes at any time.
I've been driving an automatic transmission car for several years and find the DS gear quite convenient. It's essentially a sport mode, and switching is very simple: when the gear lever is in D, just give it a slight push or press a button to switch to S or DS. Once activated, the car responds super quickly, shifts more aggressively, and with higher RPMs, the acceleration is fierce. I love using it when driving on mountain roads or when I need to overtake—it feels exhilarating. However, don't keep it on all the time, as it increases fuel consumption significantly and puts more load on the engine. For regular city driving, I mostly use D gear, which is more fuel-efficient and quieter. Different car models have varying settings; some can even automatically adjust the suspension to make cornering more stable. In short, switch to DS gear when you want a bit of sporty fun—it keeps things fresh.
